great work guys, i have gone though your videos step by step and i think this is fantastic. 119 + mgp? like the John Britton (new zealand motor cycle) of america. cool to see your familly supporting with enthusiasm.
nice try but the car would eventually have failed on ugliness anyway. appeal is a criteria iirc and its dimensions, configuration and shaping are just too goofy.
you had a lot of good aspects so if you want to try again then go for something like the GM ultralite concept car shape. MUCH MUCH better. with that shape you could have won 5 million.
the GM ultralite has gull wing doors and that doesn't really work so those could be made conventional but the body form is good. tight monobody shaping
@DanFrederiksen don;t be so critical. i think the car looks natural, like the wing of a raptor or an albatros. thumbs up to these guys for a superior effort.
Sorry to here your about your elimination, Those transmissions weren't made to handle that kind of power. I've raced Honda's, owned 5 Geo Metro's and the weakest component on a Metro is....the transmission (input shaft bearing is too small for sustained high rpms, above 3500). You still made one helluva car and I think if you do some more R&D you will have a car that will be investor material.
Use an Acura Integra Type R transmission with LSD, costs new, less than $2000, used half that.

@DanFrederiksen check my vids to see the GM Ultralite as used in the movie Demolition Man
