Mitch's Tuning Challenge - Let's get this show on the road!

MOTORTRENDmitch · Mar 30, 2013

Welcome to the first tuning challenge that I present to the tuning community of GTPlanet.

In these challenges, tuners and tuning garages will have the opportunity to showcase what they're made of! For each challenge I will set guidelines such as price, hp, weight, or make to find which tuner can create the best car, whether that mean it's the fastest or most fun to drive.

Each of these competitions will be covered through a review in the main GT5 section as well as GTPodcast (Which will be starting back up again).

Would anyone be interested in something like this? Mostly just for a fun challenge 👍

Challenge 1: What can you do with 80,000cr?
-Guidelines-
All tuning parts are free range.
All drive trains are open to use as well.
Obviously No Hacking/Modding/Hybriding.
MUST be a street legal, production car. NO race cars. NO concept cars.
Tires: No more then Sport Hard tires.
Oil change/Chassis resoration/Engine overhuals are free on used cars.
The winner will go to who ever can make the best car. Does that mean the fastest, most fun, or most consistent? Those characteristics certainly won't hurt your chances.

Guidelines such as price eh? Like who can make the best car for 50,000Cr.? That'd be pretty cool. 👍

If you mean by that, Sunday, then yes, just a tad. :lol:

Although it's fine if you issue the challenge then set the deadline for a week or two later I think.

No worries man, we can get some more interest built up first, no rush

Sorry for the lateness, but I'd be up for something like this (I hope you are still planing in doing this :nervous:

MOTORTRENDmitch · Apr 5, 2013

I sure am!

Is anyone objecting to me placing the guidelines for the first challenge this Sunday? (or sooner?)

There are a few things that I think need to be worked through

How many credits give access to a large enough field of cars?
Should any of the usual suspects be banned (NSX, Lotus, ZZ, etc.)?
What range of cars are we looking for (small, low HP or ability to build a RM model)?
Mandate one tire or allow tires to be part of the budget?
How do we factor in the cost of the car (limit to only premiums? Must post a photo of the UCD screen?)

Stuff like that.

as he had suggested. Choose a compact cars 2 zero market value more, stipulating the credits to spend and other used allowing so many credits to spend as oil, used car tires would be suspension of 1970 to 1990 by selecting engine power to equate the car through had to be originating.💡

Ok so, things came up in life and I had to postpone this... It's ready to roll now

Is everyone ready? If we are I'll give out the guidlines today and we can have a deadline of Saturday.
Sorry for the wait, I'm actually excited to do this.

I can't really give specifics like that, because those rules will change from challenge to challenge. 👍
I can say, if people use the NSX or Lotus it will count for much less then if they were to use a Dodge ram (<Obviously no one will use a Dodge RAM, this is just an exagerative example.
