Hey, for the first time ever it looks like I'm doing better than average on every stat. Except horsepower, yet somehow, but still doing well on the quarter mile!

Well, at least I've got the biggest engine. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing, yet. :|

Yeaaaah... I'm getting slaughtered on this one. :lol:

But hey, I've got WAY more power and torque than average. On an OHV engine, no less.

Re: 8-Track Tape 1966 [AVG Stats] (V6 Challenge)

Oh wait, checked my real stats. Turned out my car is slightly below average on most stats after all. My superior economy doesn't even offset the higher annual service costs (like, I save a whole twelve bucks a year at the pump and pay maybe 200 bucks a year more on service costs??? So much math lolol).

Maybe I'll join you guys on bemoaning impending failure :lol:

I can not remember my stats at the moment, except that I believe my economy is roughly average, but I shall take this time to declare my eminent victory.

Re: 8-Track Tape 1966 [AVG Stats] (V6 Challenge)

Scoring for the 5th to 20th.


Score 0.879: 20th: USA: Colonel - Mustard: "As ugly as its namesake, we recommend you leave the windows down once you park it, getting in is tricky with no door handles"
Score 0.889: 19th: Moldova: Bogliq - Tigress: "The styling of the best of the 50s with an engine belonging to a sports car, just not practical enough for daily family use"
Score 0.886: 18th: USA: Rado - Ordures: "The Premium 8-Track was added not for comfort, but to help hide the rattling from the motor"
Score 0.887: 17th: USA: Ardent Motors - Marathon XE: "Plenty of room for the wife and kids, and will keep em safe too." (Prototype Car)
Score 0.894: 16th: USA: SA - Gooncave: "Suffering from an identity crisis, this family car features zero trunk space."
Score 0.921: 15th: Netherlands: CCC - Pigalle: "This car screams 'finish me'. If CCC had taken this car all the way though concept, it might have been a very good car."
Score 0.953: 14th: Thailand: K's Works - Austin 250-SC: "Exceedingly quick, but cramped. Perhaps in Thailand the car would be more popular, but over here it just doesn't have enough room."
Score 0.968: 13th: Brazil: Baltazar - Turquoise: "Become lost in leather, and drowsy from the butter smooth 3-speed. Fun is just a word after all, a word the engineers at Baltazar never uttered near this car."
Score 0.986: 12th: US: GSI - Pharaoh Deluxe: "Despite its name sake, this ancient Egyptian will not be around very long, then again stones do not have to worry about rust."
Score 0.991: 11th: USA: Centauri - Scout LE: "Striking a good balance between getting the family down the road, and getting them down the road quickly."
Score 1.016: 10th: UK: OMC - Ceres L240: "Perhaps this is why FWD makes sense, the amount of room in the trunk is astounding."
Score 1.020: 9th: UK: Armada Motors - Belford: "Bentley would be proud."
Score 1.026: 8th: Sweden: Rolev - Orion: "It wont fight the Taurus for you, but it can outrun it."
Score 1.051: 7th: Thailand: Plainoi - Traudkan: "Why didn't we think of reclining rear seats sooner."
Score 1.065: 6th: Sweden SAAB - Krop: "This isn't a wagon, it is a truck shaped like a wagon. Just hook up the trailer and off you go."

Your little car had a lot of redeeming features needed in a family car.


Fun Fact. The Benchmark car was COMPLETELY outstripped by the entries I received.

Good job to all of you.
