Heaviest and lightest cars?

(Edit: And yay, scoring complete!)

[Leonardo9613]

I'm afraid I forgot those too. Sorry.

[strop]

Do those stats apply to the eco cars only? Or the sports cars too?

Eco, and Sports. I already asked him in the IRC

[strop]

Hmm, interesting, my sports car is not quite the quickest off the mark, nor in top speed (which does not surprise me, I put some downforce on that thing!) But it's also far from the least economical!

[Packbat]

Leonardo9613: Most and least reliable?

(My sports car does decently in acceleration and economy, not so much in top speed. And my econobox is surprisingly close to the best economy in the field despite my -15 aero quality!)

[Absurdist]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... I forgot to send my entry.

-_-

I will eagerly watch from behind the security barrier.

[Leonardo9613]

Erm, you are in, Absurdist.

And Packbat, most reliable sports car got 75, least reliable, 59. The average was 67.85. For the eco cars the numbers are 74.1, 54.9 with 68.84 average.

The average economies are 6.05 for the eco cars and 8.33 for the sport ones.

[Packbat]

Mmm - less reliable than average. Not optimistic about my chances.

[RoyalStig]

Ohhh noooo, I think my sports car is the most unreliable . Still, can't wait to see the first results!

[Packbat]

...so, confession time: you know when someone said, "we're designing this to discourage people from going fiberglass -15 quality and ending up with Basic Interior/no entertainment because they ran out of money?" I went fiberglass -11 quality. And while I have a basic cassette deck, I went negative quality on almost everything to afford it.

My current expectations for Packbat Auto Works:

25%: Eliminated in Eco stage for poor comfort, reliability.
50%: Eliminated in Sporty stage for catastrophically low prestige.
20%: Horrifyingly bad tire wear in BROBOT, non-competitive in tournament even after revision.
5%: Wait, what?

[Leonardo9613]

So it seems that the writing will take a bit longer than expected, and I decided to keep the suspense and only release the results together with the review. On the mean time, here are some pretty charts comparing all eco cars. I forgot to highlight the average, only realised this when I had uploaded all stats. Whoops. Also, excel was being stubborn and only allowed me to choose one between the name, make and model, so I went for the username. Enjoy. Also, there are six more charts ready for a future post.

[DoctorNarfy]

Huehuehue. I imagine my Eco car would only ever be seen as a chav magnet because of that amazing prestige.

[strop]

Oh dear, my eco car isn't doing very well compared to the pretty stiff competition! Here's to hoping it scrapes through the eco round cuts!

[TrackpadUser]

Very good comfort and economy, average everything else.

Not bad IMHO.

I am surprised that Absurdist's high performance motor only got very average economy.
