Tycondero - trust me, I had issues with the cost as well. It goes against everything that Ardent and Suzume stand for. I had to add items I would never use normally, and rely more heavily on sliders than I normally would. It's an exercise in getting out of my comfort zone, honestly.

When I built my car I thought it would be expensive from the get go, once I hit the final button I saw roughly $16k............wow did I need to use the sliders for things as well. Was VERY strange and also very liberating to not be so constrained on price for once, yes the hard limit was there but it gave you enough room to make your car unique. I had a blast making this car and hope you guys did as well. Dont give up Tycondero, IMO your car looked great as well, if aesthetics were a stat I believe yours would score high.

Have you ever seen a 40.000k cost Znopresk? I was out of the comfort zone too... even if I had a huge comfort into the car (above 85 :P)

That awkward moment when you realize..

CRAP, I didn't even LOOK at servicing costs! :shock:

I suppose that doesn't really matter for a giant luxury sedan though. What does interest me is that the average engine size is 5.5 Liters, so a lot of people must have gone for a much smaller engine.

Wow!!! I can't imagine what level of comfort that might even entail... And I thought 70+ was high already... Oh... Chance of review rapidly fading...

As I said, i had low prestige compared to the others because I have a 6 cylinder engine.

I actually experimented with V6s. Although in order for them to make sufficient enough torque for me, it needed be bigger than most Freightliner V6s. How much power does your engine have?

That's pretty darn good considering my 6.3 Liter V8 makes a whole 20 horsepower more.

My 5-liter turbo V8 only throws down 286 horsepower. It's set up for efficiency.

the percentage is the difference between your place, the the position below yours. (as in the percentage you are over the previous place)

I add those so people could have a quick, and easy way to see how close some of the scores were, with over half of them being less then 1%

Re: W.H.A.L.E of an Order (Scores)

Fuel efficiency did not really matter to me in the boat challenge. What matters more is prestige,drivability, top speed, and reliability,so I created a fat 6.4 liter v8 pumping out approximately 640hp :o
