-Ultimate Super Saloon- {Finished}

[titleguy1]

I'm looking at these cars.
To put it nicely, the cars look unique. To put it badly, they're ugly. Just kidding.

From my boneyard comes the Comet! Last seen in the Ultimate FWD contest, this is a slightly altered version of my previously released production version code named the GTZ .

I think the story behind my entry is best told in the form of... a short story:

"Awwwww but do I have to!?" Stroppy McHorseguy, chief designer of Gryphon Gear, whined, rubbing his face in exasperation at the scribbles of Godzilla on his easel with lots of crosses through it.

"Yes." Was Dan's arms-folded reply. Dan may have looked like a mousey sort, but under that diminutive stature and those rodentious buck teeth were a lady of steel. Even knowing that arms-folded mode meant resistance was futile, Strop decided to try anyway, because he never knew when not to.

"But why? It's a bloat-mobile. We don't build bloat mobiles."

"We're not building it. We're just engineering the base and you're designing the shell. Or should I say, re-designing. The rear end doesn't look executive enough."

Strop groaned. Precisely the class of car he liked least, what with their (needlessly) luxuriously appointed cabins, with hundreds and hundreds of kilograms of extra weight, sucking in power and fuel and wallowing around the track like a bus. Undeterred by his obvious look of anguish, Dan plowed on: "Besides, you knew this was part of the contract when we agreed to make a bid on the movie stunt car deal. It's business, and damn good business at that. Do you realise we're being paid in percentages, not a single sum for this contract? The potential is huge! If you don't fuck it up, that is."

Just then, a pair of antlers poked their way through the doorframe. "Yeah," Cendeer (or just Cen) chimed in for good measure. "Take the job seriously for once."

Strop flipped the bird at the departing Cen, before pouting and returned to staring at his easel, and dithered with his pen. "Fine. Just email me the specs of the superfluous luxury shit and I'll find a place to stash it. But so help me there better be a damn good Christmas bonus for this."

"You'll get paid," Dan replied, "If we land the deal. I'll check on your progress tomorrow." And with that, she clattered down the stairs again. How she avoided punching her stiletto heels through the holes in the metal grille was a daily marvel.

Between the potential incentive of money if he did a good job, or the potential disincentive of Dan's stiletto heel up the other half of his ass if he half-assed it, Strop knew which he preferred. It was time to get to work.

Hopefully I can get some time and put in my Centauri Brougham fighting Utopia R and let the rivalry continue (assuming the Comet "replaces" the Brougham)

The Comet will replace the brougham so I look forward to a continuation of the rivalry. It's a bit of a different beast however and I do wish now that I had chosen to use the old turbo hellfire straight 6 engine rather then a version of the Invictus CCPC v8 I ended up picking. The GTZ will be a executive level trim with a emphasize on comfortable performance rather than full sport. With stiffer suspension setting, and a uprated engine offset by an automatic gearbox, normal profile tires, and a more relaxed choice of suspension hangings this "midlevel sports package" would attract the same price buyers as a S6, CTS Vsport, or 550i Msport. A more bonkers Comet SS is still in the works.

What do you think about my AMC V8 ZZ-R (don't panic, the photoshop work was fast and anyway lol)

[V10I10ilove10cyl]

I'm currently making my car. Hopefully I can get something that works.

Which grille have you used for the upper part of the bumper?
The Aston/HDMI one

I've always wanted something of that shape. The only one that is similar is Pleb's Zenvo one, but, I must be honest, I haven't tested that one thoroughly.

The second-down by the left inverted i think

How important is it that the car model is sedan like or can it be any model with at least 4 seats and the set limitations?

[titleguy1]

Well, I guess it could be an estate, but I set those limits because a hatchback is not competing with an Audi S6.

[V10I10ilove10cyl]

I have really low emissions and good economy. Not saying how much power though

[utopian201]

My car from my model lineup as it current is cannot meet the emissions target unless I use quality sliders. But don't change the rules on account of me

Wrong contest, sliders are open in this one bring it on.

Na, "Aurora does not modify or tune its production cars for production competitions", I just submit them as is Centauri has beaten me this round!
