Welcome to the fourth and final round! Congrats to those still in it. Las Vegas is our venue for one more week.

German_Muscle you are competing against darkwind.

Car: Any used car with over 40,000 miles
HP limit: 400
Weight limit: none
Part restrictions:
-Must be ran with no oil change, no refresher plan, and with a stock transmission.

HP shall be measured in the tuning screen, when you click on the HP/Torque graph. 400 is ok, 401 is not.

Oh, the drama! I was narrowly knocked out at the last second in Round 3 by complete surprise by the sneaky stealthy German_Muscle. Now he challenges the 'favorite' - the guy who made up every one of these challenges. Can darkwind prove himself to be the master of his own creations?

I specifically saved this race for the last round as it seems to be the hardest one to judge. There is no clear cut best car to me by just looking at the specs. When you choose a car, it has to have 40G miles before you buy it. If you can, try to remember what day you bought it on which may help in knowing exactly how many miles the car had on it.

May the best man win.

BOTH entrants are REQUIRED to post their full entire setup and strategy at the conclusion of this round. Your time MUST be posted in this thread by midnight September 27th CST.

By the way, I would like as much feedback as possible on how this was ran - from everybody who ran it (and even casual observers if they have valid opinions). How did darkwind and I do organizing this competition? Were the races even enough and challenging enough? What did we do right? Wrong? What would YOU have done differently? Would you like to do this again, and if so how soon? Did you have fun?
 
I would've found more time to compete! lol I didn't do so hot since I was testing set-ups for the American Muscle Car Championship. I can't blame you for the timing, however, since the tournament started first and the AMC was announced right after.

In all, it looks to have been run very well. 👍
 
I think everything was run well. I could have taken more time to do more testing and chopping in a few of the comps(such as banning the galant in the used car challenge). Deadlines were held, (almost) every participant took part, and I'm pretty sure if we held another tourney in the future there would (hopefully) be more participants and harder challenges.

Good luck German_Muscle. I'm happy whether I win or lose at this point.
 
I liked the way everything was organised 👍

If I had to change anything it would be the times entered after submission deadline. I understand that extensions could be given for special reasons, but a penalty of some sort should be in place just the same - maybe +0.1 seconds or something like that.
 
Sounds like people are happy with how it was ran.

Somebody, that's a good idea - although only the first round was extended, and there wasn't much I could do about that.
 
Even if I was bumped the first run out, I really liked this and how it was run. The randonymity of vehicle choices was a great thing; no clear-cut winner each time, and that was deffenitely a great factor in the series. I would love to have a second (3rd, 5th, whatever) shot at this, it was so fun! :)
 
Darkwind, i think you win this round. MY PStwo died on me and wont boot the CD and the one time i did get it to load the game was when i got my settings for last round. It was incredibly slow and takes 10 minutes to do something if you click something. Im seeing if i can do something about it but it doesnt look good.
 
I'll get the ball rolling for this last round. 8.583. ^_~ have fun y'all

:indiff: that bites. I hate winning by default, and especially since this is the last round.

Don't worry, I thought I had a default win too. He'll sneak right up on you darkwind :)
 
German Muscle
what car?

:dopey: a big ol' 4WD subaru. I'm still testing some other cars but that was the first run I had.
 
This was an absolutely awesomely well-run competition kenny. Just like your photo challenges (which I REALLY think you should bring back....maybe a Used Car Photo-mode challenge :dopey: )

Good luck to the two finalists....darkwind, awesome job creating the challenges. Hopefully you can continue your conquest.

Hopefully German_Muscle can figure out the problem? Or maybe we can have a 3-way final with darkwind, ktb, and myself....just a thought :sly:

:yuck: I've been cursed with everyone elses problems. My PS2 won't load GT4. I turned off my PS2 last night to let it get some rest and cool down a little(It's been on for the past 3 weeks >_<). I popped in GT4 this morning and now it won't load! I'm going to take it apart to clean it today after school and if GT4 still doesn't load, thank god it's payday, new GT4!!!
 
i cant do that, mine is a slim one.
 
German Muscle
i cant do that, mine is a slim one.

ahh, those things are notorious for having problems. GT4 or not. Biggest complaint I've seen was overheating(even in wide open areas). But I'm guessing thats not your problem. *shrug* ah well. Good luck and hope ya find a fix soon.

Thanks mymkovski! I like that 3 way final idea, haha :sly:

Hope you guys get your Playstations working - otherwise this will be an uneventful round.

Got my PS2 clean and I'm currently watching a movie. :dopey:

Mine is one of the ones that overheat and it does it really bad.ive had fans on it and even bags of ice water on it. The Other day it just stopped playing all together wont even boot the disk even if its cold and hasnt been on in a while. The last time i managed to get it to work was when it started doing it, so i hurried up and got my settings from the last tournament round cause it was freezing and taking forever to do anything when you selected something or changed menus. Luckily i have the Circuit City Extended warranty and got online tonite and they are sending me a Shipping sticker so i can ship it to them, then they will send me a circuit city gift card for the amount i paid for the item. I may get another one or i may just save it for a PS3 or something i dunno. It looks like im not gonna be able to even compete at all. :guilty:
 
Nice series btw Kenny. Well run and everything. Don't think much else could of helped in my eyes, except knowing how to deal with set-up of a car better. Just a slow learner on my part. 👍
 
Thank you, Teledriel.

Hope you can get a time up, German.
 
Well, that was rather interesting. Broken PS2's have marred the excitement of this tournament, but it was still fun to run and participate in.

Completely amazing to me that the tournament brainchild, darkwind, won the entire event on two by's and with a dead last time in the first round. Simply unbelievable! I guess you cannot beat the house - lesson for all of us :dopey:

Winning time: 8.583

Congratulations Darkwind, you are the champion. Please post your settings.

👍 to all participants for good clean racing.

Lets do this again sometime!
