Why no mods? Fine. I'll submit the car here, and pm you the mod-less version.

*edit. I think you need to ease up on the safety. As I can't get anywhere near 67 for less than $37,000.

Any limitations on Model year? Given it is now 2015, I'm using that.

Also @vos: if you use the right approach, it's easy to hit 65 safety... I've got about 15k spare in the bank at the moment...

Alrighty, I'm just finetuning this thing but after looking at an Infiniti catalogue (everyone's going Euro with their styling anyway, whether it's the US or the JP market), I decided to go with this. Aptly codenamed Godzilla, this thing weighs way more than a Veyron :? Must be all the safety equipment, and why I never really pay any attention to safety if I can avoid it when I build cars :lol:

On the plus side, it has unholy amounts of power and goes like absolute stink :) It's amazing just how many horses you can get without blowing the material costs out. Does require a ton of elbow grease, though.

Let's put it this way, I'm relatively happy with the output I achieved. And if I'm happy... :P

I seem to only be able to find one sedan in 2015 that doesn't give me a safety penalty for obsolescence. Is that correct?

Yes you are correct.
