My car:
6-Cylinder (straight): 10 points. Datsun Z, Jeep Cherokee, 3-Series, Dodge Dart? Hell yeah!

Longitudinally mounted: 25 points. Even if you have a 4-banger, that 4-banger could be in a Se7en.

Throttle bodies: Add 5 points per throttle body =30 points

Normally aspirated: 0 points. Hey, lots of cool cars breathe all on their own. But why? And, like, the McLaren F1 doesn't really need any more help.

Convertible: 15 points.

Paddle shifters: 5 points. Unless you have a Ferrari/Maserati-style setup where the paddles are stock-mounted, that'll net you 30 points.

Germany: 10 points. Unless you drive a Jetta, then -10 points. New Bug? -100 points.
271-380 hp: 10 points. We like where you're going.

5 - 10 years: 0 points.

Cupholders: -5 points for every cupholder.

Ashtrays: 5 points for every ashtray. Special dispensation: if your car has more than 5 ashtrays, you get 50 bonus points on top of the 5 points for each ashtray.

125 points.

wow there guess came close: 101-150 points: Is that an E39 M5 in your pocket? Or do you have an erection?

I'm not sure how God gained 124hp just for the jalop test.

V6 3
Lat -10
Throttle Body 5
Turbo 15
2D 25
RWD 25
Mid 10
5 spd 20
USA 5
381-450hp 25
21-30yrs old 20
Ashtray 10
Bondo +40 (Hood, both fenders, bumper)

Total 193 (We all knew I had the best Fiero here anyways)


Just for kicks, the 55 Bel Air:
V8 15
Long 25
Carb 10
Supercharged 15
2-Door 25
RWD 25
Front engine 0
Manual 20
USA 5
381-450hp 25
50-60yrs old 50

It would not be fair to add in bondo, because the entire car is random ass colored.

Total 220pts
