[OVER] Automation Inline contest

[PMP1337]

This is what happens when you make the engine first and then try to fit it into a car.
Now you don't even need to open the hood to change the filter and put more oil in.

Are you guys working on it or did you all dump this challenge to work on the CTC?

I think the Bonneville would be more suited to see the true potential top speed of any car.
Plus who wouldn't want to drive the 7 mile salt-flat?

Sure, I like that idea. Okay, results are going to be judged by who can attain the highest top speed on this map.

Damn, nice job!

Did you want to put a production unit cap on the total car for this challenge? I felt a little guilty using all those sliders after taking so much care with the engine.

[Microwave]

Maximum man hours/Prod units (I'm assuming they're the same thing, just renamed?) is 50, feel free to use quality sliders.

[nialloftara]

shit... you mean 50 for the entire car?

[Lothoren]

This is actually a pretty difficult challenge. But im close to completing it, just need to finish some fine tuning.

[nialloftara]

Just so I'm clear

"Maximum man hours/Prod units (I'm assuming they're the same thing, just renamed?) is 50, feel free to use quality sliders."

Applies to the whole car not just the engine? So our engine max is $3000 and our car max is 50 production units?

[Jakgoe]

I believe that would be very hard to comply with if the limit was 50...

[nialloftara]

i've built a few test cars that comply, but they kinda suck.

[Lothoren]

Define, they kinda suck, because i have made some that arent too bad, although they would spend most of their time in a garage being repaired.

I tried to give it a go, used an inline 6 turbo engine with negative quality across various tabs, it ended up costing 2.4k and it takes 50 man-hours to build. I managed to make a car that only takes another 50 hours to build, in total 100 production units. But it is pretty crap, -15 quality in various tabs and solid-axle leaf-spring rear suspension. 50 production units is, in my opinion, too little for performance cars. 100 is doable, with a typically american car, good on the straight line, shit on everything else.
