Re: Barely Street Legal League

So far I have 4 entries. 3 of them use the Corvette shell. Is this because it's new? Or because it has insanely wide rear flare with a maximum rear tyre width of some ridiculous 455mm?

Re: Barely Street Legal League

You're still accepting entries, correct?


I'll probably throw a silly engine into my new 4-door sports car and appease your desire for non-vette-shell cars. :)

Re: Barely Street Legal League

Damn this is harder then I thought, so many prototypes! All of them cool and utterly mad, but nothing quite jumping out at me yet. 50's Cadillac with a 1200hp modern turbo v8 crammed in sideways with a 400kph top speed? it's just not saying yes to me yet. This is a really fun challenge to build for strop!

Re: Barely Street Legal League

Looks like this could become interesting, looking forward to see how this turns out. It's my first compo as well, so I'm definitely excited for it :)
I've only owned the game for three weeks, so I'm not nearly as experienced as most of you guys, but I hope I'll do all right. This is what I'm working on right now:

It's called the Decker Annihilator and to be honest it's most likely one of the tamest cars in the comptetition. It's built in 1990 and has a 5.5-litre, twin-turbo V8 from 1991 powering all four wheels through a five-speed gearbox. Also it gets less than 9 MPG :mrgreen:
I'm not going to spoil too much of the specs, but here's what the power graph looks like:

Full boost for almost half the rev range; not too bad for a newbie, eh? ;)

Re: Barely Street Legal League

It's got good potential. If you're really smart, you can make a car with parts from the 60s compete decently with the modern extreme tuner models.

(However I don't expect the seriously classic/antique bodies to be competitive as they have limitations on suspension, tyres and undertray that make them much harder to race. However, what they lose out on the track, they make up for in sheer lunacy, and are much more likely to pick up a huge swag of bonus points, so watch out!)

Re: Barely Street Legal League

Here's the Vindicator, My team has combined a old school big block, stroked and over bored to 9.7 liters, with racing internals and a set of dohc cam heads, It's highly stressed but should hold for the duration. The big V8 is Mounted into one of Centauri's last ladder frame chassis and then a old classy fiberglass body is bolted on to the rails. The Vindicator will be turning a lot of heads on this tour. I added a few creature comforts, a basic radio, some seat padding, and roll down windows to prevent the James May experience.
(not my testicals!)Image

So with out further ado I present the Centauri Vindicator.

Re: Barely Street Legal League

We got a working prototype, the mechanics worked all day (and night..) long to tune the underperforming 1990 Achernar 5 door hatchback into something good, now it has a carbon fiber chassis and body panels, extreme twin wing, twin lip flared aero setup and... a 8.1 liter crossplane V8 powering all four wheels making 1220HP at 8500RPM, with a weight of 1170KG :D It goes around the Automation Test Track in 2 minutes and 13 seconds in the current iteration, luckily it's got driver aids, otherwise the driver (Read: ME) would die in a brutal crash. That would be pretty bad for the company... :lol: Anyways, we have a new challenger coming soon :twisted:

A few more stats:

0-100: 2.5s
Top Speed: 387km/h
Handling: 1.38-1.51g
Awesomeness: Over 9000
