@chlumsky: yeah that happens a lot. We can expect a few hundredths in variation due to file reading irregularities
@vri404: it's honestly not that difficult. I'm only not posting any of my 1:05 production builds because the engine formats they require in my official company lore are not available.
Also I think the price is kept down because chlumsky may not be using CF. Other handy points of comparison between that and the Salamander include:
1) interior trim (Salamander has sports seats, standard infotainment, and safety sufficient to be sold in all areas)
2) reliability (Salamander's engine reliability is 77 and I don't run my cars hot)
3) fuel type (Salamander runs 95RON)
4) tyres (like all my road cars, I use sports 8+, and this makes a huge difference, if I used semi slicks 15+ I'd be running 1:05 or better)
5) profit margin (as I mentioned mine had 34%... It's a small company
)
I tried looking up the Chlumsky car information but could only find the same as what was posted here. Consider this me applying a little pressure for greater transparency.
Speaking of which, modern cars have a minimum safety requirement. For Gasmea it's 35, for Fruinia it's 40. I don't know about Archana but I'd suggest that safety status of the car is mandatory if it's to be production legal.
