BIGTIME MUSCLE [88bg] - "CHOOSE ANY CAR YOU WANT" (WITH A FEW LIMITATIONS) ;]

“CHOOSE ANY CAR YOU WANT” ;]

You can choose any car you want…but some limitations, of course ;]

2 Seater

200 hp limit

not to exceed less than 2300 lbs

No Aero

Candidates must be in D class and down :wink:

Cars must be B CLASS after builds/tunes

Other than these, your build can be anything ;]

Track - Sunset Club

My choice… 88 Fiero - 186 hp - 2374 lbs

Target time - 1:08.911 - clean laps

Including DLC, more than a dozen possibilities ;] Some are not just strong enough with these limits, but a few, in the right hands - are more than capable of topping my choice ;]

Anyone wanna try this out ??

We’ll run this till interest ceases - or any interest at all ;]

Post all you try - can change your choice as many times as you like - label replays - “My Choice” - when posting - give us hp rating and weight please ;]. Would love to see some attempts with some “underdogs” :wink:

leaderboard

Will def give this a shot

Well my first pick was the Mazdaspeed Roadster B483 200HP 2302 LBS & ran 1.08.805 lap 5 tho it will go faster replay up

I have a question … does the car have to start out at a weight above 2300 LBS or can it end up there as some hit that weight with a cage and wheels added to their starting weight ??

I.E. I ran the Vauxhall VX220 as AWD 2307 lbs and 197 hp at an easy w/o pushing 1.08.032 and its much more capable than that or the Lancia 037 can remove boost tho it’s a great handling car it’s a slug compared to the Vaux or even the Mazdaspeed

Just checking

Well - you are correct - that is possible - I neglected to calculate ALL possibilities that way - so let’s go with the candidates I weeded out my initial method - let’s sort these out with STARTING WEIGHTS before building/tuning - if everyone is in agreement :smirk:
I had sorted the candidates out from D class down - and forgetting about this other way to calculate weights - went from D down and concluded that they would all fall under anyway so I didn’t list in OP - I will add that to our "limitations " list - thanks D for helping me sort this out :yum:
Been doing this for awhile now and STILL have problems thinking/sorting out some details :confused: Sorry fellas :confused:

My first shot at the target was one of the Toyota MR 2’s . Cant remember exactly which one but it was def a two seater . It came in bang on the money with 200 HP and weighed in at 2300 LB . I managed a new PB with 1:08:084 ( lap 8 on replay ) . I will try a few other cars to see if i can get into the 1:07’s .
Nice format kool . Let me know what you consider " underdogs " so i can give them a run

Thanks, V - thought this might be fun :yum: At work at the present without my notepad with testing times - so can’t totally recall what was “oh so close” - but I do remember really routing for the DeLorean to make the cut - I couldn’t make it work :yum: See what you can manage with it :wink:

Well I also ran the 1989 Toyota MR2 SC A 518 200 hp 2305 lbs coming in at 1.06.752 lap 5 replay up (lap 2 was mid 107 so car is very capable ) I will load tune for anyone wanting to give it a go

Guess I messed again though - thought all would fall in B CLASS - guess I need to edit OP rules again - apologies guys :confused: AGAIN :confounded:

lol and i just upped that to 106.2 lap 2

Dropped the ball on this one - sorry guys :confused: See what happens when you try to post a Challenge quick before work and thinking of ALL possible rules to post :confounded:

119.435
as usual, a little bit off the pace =3))
as usual, I had fun…thank you, Kool!

Who’s keeping track ?? :yum: Just some fun ways to get remaining community together and work on some cars :+1: It’s all good :smiley: Thanks Torque for joining in - what hp and lbs did you work with ?? Try another car too, maybe :wink: Thanks for the pic post as well :+1:

OOOOOOPS!

Just realized I failed to read the format rules completely.

My 200 HP supercharged MGA weighs 2301, but it’s not a “B” so I’ll be back in a day or two with a Dino 246 GT.

My MR 2 was well within the 500 P I limit for B class . Will give the DeLorean a tune up . It dont set the leaderboard on fire but it’s one of my fave cars in the game .

Wouldn’t happen to have anything to do with it being manufactured in Ireland, would it? ; )

Yeah , Northern Ireland to be exact :slight_smile:

It looks great too which dont hurt either

ok so the Toyota MR-S is out also right ??? since it’s below 2300 lbs starting out … Correct ??

The way I sorted them out - yes - I went down the list from D down and only ones over 2300 lbs stock were candidates - if a next one - I will factor in all possibilities - sorry for the confusion.

I did try the Delo underdog my best was a 108467 in that at 2301lbs and 199hp B468
