Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Finished]

[strop]

It's the drivability that shook me. I feel that's a significant difference and I'm not sure where it came from, particularly as I think Trackpaduser's car has a turbo...? And if I recall it's a fair bit faster than mine in a RACE, and I also think an overall better eco car. So I was thinking a combination of details and big picture.

Of course I realise that the sportiness chart isn't here yet!

Trackpaduser has a NA 2.0 V6 engine in his car. The sportiness chart will come tomorrow, and sorry for the lack of coherence between the charts, I randomly chose which ones to post

[strop]

Oh! Well hmmm...... the extra 2cyl and reduced stroke/bore would probably result in better smoothness and possibly better torque delivery down below, that could contribute I'm guessing.

[Lordred]

Oh man, with that 1/4 mile time, I am sure I have none of the sportiness

[Packbat]

@Lordred: Oof - the Astonish X4PE is only a second faster than the Murina FC on the quarter-mile. That hurts.

Maybe you can claw back a little via top speed?

[Lordred]

Nope, it only has a MIGHTY 112hp. Pushrods, in traditionalist style 'LHE' style, all three versions of the car use the same engine family.

Pushrod and SPFI! Crazy! D:

[Packbat]

What's your performance index? Because you have more torque and almost as much power as the PAW Fizz-T 1.3L OHV MPFI engine in the Murina NE, which has a performance index of 82.5.

(The key performance stat for my car is the 814.6 kg curb weight.)

SPFI was quite common even on eco sports cars in the early 90s. Don't forget, I took 2nd place in the Eco part with that SPFI Pushrod

79.6 for the performance index, and 1014kg

[Packbat]

Yeah - I basically designed my entire car around reducing weight (although I screwed up and picked a four-door body, so I was stuck with four seats come race day). That was actually why I went pushrod: because those engines are lighter per displacement.

That said, I wasn't even thinking about the lightness of my car when I decided 114 hp was enough for the sport tune - I was just comparing the total power to my sense of what other contemporary cars would have. I just looked up the '92 Civic Si for an example, and it had 125 hp, weighed 1071.4 kg, and did the quarter-mile in 16.3. We're basically a bunch of speed demons, here.

[Leonardo9613]

Here are some more charts with the stats of all sports cars. I didn't include any of the performance related ones, because this is what you were expecting me to do . They will come tomorrow.

[Lordred]

So practical, much loud.

[Packbat]

Almost as practical, much quiet.

[Chiwie]

The loudest car wins right?

[Leonardo9613]

Actually, when I started the challenge the idea was to replicate the Eco scoring, where the quieter the car, the more bonus it had. But in the end, I felt this mechanic wouldn't be right for the sporty cars, as a loud car would gain on sportiness, but lose on comfort. Therefore, I gave loudness zero weight, it's up to you to see what you want.
