Pocket Rockets! [REVIEW POSTED]

[titleguy1]

Wow, I did WAAAAAY better than I expected. I'm happy with the results ^-^

Yes, the Angelus is oh so very average. But it's averagely good... I hope.

[montoya86]

Damn....

Just realized that the Game didn´t saved my changes...Had some Issues with not Responding when working on the Car so that might crashed my Data (should be fixed with the actual Patch now)...

The engine was just a placeholder and not fully developed @all...
Suspension not adopted...
I was over the Budget @ first so I had to rework so thing to get under it an work my way back up as good as possible...screwed that obviously by not double checking it...

Well shit happens...still not Last...better than nothing...

Montoya86 - On the bright side, you made a turbo that ALMOST runs on 80 RON.

JasonPoland - Don't give up. Ask for tips. There are so many veterans here who are willing to look at things and show you how to make them better. I got absofreakinglutely slaughtered the first, oh, dozen or so competitions I entered. I've only recently become a middle-of-the-road builder. The Hana GS is a fluke for me. But, exercises like mine as well as Der Bayer's CTCs (when they start up again) are good practice for when the Tycoon component comes out. It gets you thinking more about balancing then just pure unadulterated *insert single statistic here*. Also, take a look at jdripke - he was 2nd to last in the previous competition, but cracked the top 10 this time around.

Also JasonPoland look at me and my previous entries, I KNOW my entries will never get to the top yet I still enter, I have a TON of fun building replicas or whatever I want and entering them to see how they do. As long as you have fun playing the game and these challenges then it is a win in my book, getting to the top is just icing on the cake, that and the comments on the cars are also great

I was sure that the Gorizia wasn't good enough... I felt it wasn't good as I expected. Now I'm looking forward for the comparison .

[Leonardo9613]

Woohoo! Pretty pleased with the top 4, I didn't even think this was a Top 10 worthy car. Turns out that a sensible approach with expensive suspension really pays off.

Also, if anyone is interested, here are my car files.

[nerd]

15th - Rado IV GS - 1.6L Inline 4 - "For When You Want Your 4-Banger To Drink Like A V8" - 71.03% (5 cost penalties)

You got the name wrong, it was GTS, not GS.
And that is what you get when you use DCOE carbs.

[yurimacs]

im really last,far last.

[nialloftara]

18th - Centauri Puck - 0.9L Turbo Inline 4 - "Better Check Your Lapbelts When You Reach V1" - 68.41% (1 cost penalty)

Not that it changes much but my total costs show as $5499.94, I thought the cost penilty started at $5500?
Also here's a look at the Puck's specs

[Manche]

well.. at least among the superior half...

And that is what you get when you use DCOE carbs.

The dual DCOEs on the Suzume eked out 31.3 MPG.

I can take a look later, but I know that when you first load a car, you have to click through the trims to get it to "settle" its costs and specifications. I had it slightly above $5500 after I did that.

nerd did you a favor by calling you out on your original 4-door submission that I missed. Your second submission was MUCH improved.

I also used a 13.0:1 air/fuel mixture, which is just one tick off of running rich.

[Zabhawkin]

14th, not bad for something that was basically thrown together with no optimization. I didn't expect to do so well due to price, though I am happy with the most reliable even though I also got the least comfortable.

Blasters, I am working on a competition where you wont be doing a recreation even though do think you do an excellent job doing so.

[SeriousSimon]

Romanov is happy to have built a car that is up to the capitalists standards with a price that exceeds any soviet standards. *creepy laughter*

However, we would like to underline, between us, that we are not actually communists and we believe that in not more than twenty years, the Soivet Union will be no more than a scary memory. Cylinders crossed.

As for the "Raketa" is excells with its speed, reaching 100 km/h in under eight seconds, while reaching a topspeed of 180 km/h. We do not consciously recommend going that fast though. The lack of power steering and the comparably low safety standards, in order to keep the weight low, will not save your life in case of an accident, only kill you faster.

We are looking forward to the next invitation to compete with all these magnificient car manufacturers.

[strop]

YES. Back to form! Sportiest, probably fastest in a straight line, will probably kill your average driver with more ego than talent. All I need to know is if it's also fastest around a track and my life is complete.
