Wait, I can send my car even though I'm not allowed to take part?

I can't stop you from making a car. If you want to send it in (and I have time), I'll run it through and privately spit back your points total.

You would not be included in the final rankings, of course.

Again, assuming I have time, because the other participants are higher priority.

Talking about that, I don't know if you didn't do it in the last one because oppositelock didn't send you his files or something else, but one thing that could be interesting for those who are out due to constantly placing very well, is that you accept their files, and put their score in the sheet at the end so they can know where they would have placed (like between 3rd and 4th.)

Although it depends on how easy it is for you, as it would obviously require a tad more work.

He didn't send me the files to my knowledge. I always have a little worry with things like that when people post their cars before I get the PM.

Nice, I might make something then. But that isn't high priority to me, since I don't like this sort of car, the late 70s american "luxury" car, for me they are all square ships with marshmallow suspension and disgusting interiors (vulgalour upholstery) .

Claro, mas esse é o tipo de coisa que deveriamos discutir em mensagens privadas

It looks like Armada's entry has some good company in that of Romanov and PAW, all small displacement turbo inline sixes, all pulling out around 30mpg!

Except the Feltram has 200hp

30MPG, what kind of gas guzzling monstrosity is that

I am trying something very interesting, and hoping for the best.

It involves a small displacement V8 in a FWD configuration.

And the Torque Steer award goes to...

30mpg.......... I don't even want to know how...... But I bet your cars aren't 3700lbs/1700kg either.

Hard to have torque steer with no torque

[strop]

Well now, it's all in what one means by 'small displacement', as in, 1978 American small displacement of 4L, or European small displacement of like 1.3L

[VicVictory]

OK... I think I've gone through all the official entries thus far submitted. Look at the first page, if you think you've submitted but you're not up there, let me know.

[Lordred]

I hope to do better this time!

Ok, i will enter with the "TC" model (TC as for touch of class ), featuring a straight-six turbo charged, 172hp, and a modest 8,64 lt/100km.

Here fitted with Luxury interior, luxury entertainment, and automatic gearbox, to give you a calm and nice comfortable ride without stopping too many times at the gas station!

[Packbat]

@8bs: Ooh, that is a nice looking car - reminds me of a classic Ferrari.

[8bs]

Hey Packbat, thanks! Yeah it's a bit inspired in italian design like Alfa Romeo or Ferrari.... let's see if it's any good!! lol

[strop]

This now makes 3 cars with an i6 turbo that puts out 172hp mated to 3 speed autos... I bet they will all have slightly better fuel economy than mine!
