Carbuilder

Once again it is time for the Carbuilder contest. You have to design three different cars:
  1. One that gets the best gas mileage possible while carrying four people.
  2. One that carries four people and goes the fastest speed down the mountain.
  3. One that carries one person and does the fastes time in the quarter mile.

In order to do this you have to try out different combinations of engines and transmissions, brakes and steering, types of tires, etc. You also have to reshape your car, changing the body design. This can take a lot of tweaking before you get everything just perfect. Remember just because you think it looks good, doesn't mean it will preform the best.

What have you found to be the toughest part of the Carbuilder contest so far?

the hardest part of the carbuilder for me would have to be getting the body straight.

I think its pretty cool because you can make your your own car.You also have to figure around with the stuff to get most thinggs right. Its like if you were designing or building your own car and actualy driving it. The toughest part about it is that you have to fiddle around, to adjust to the right specifications.
