Improved version. Lower drag points, lower part count, higher power/weight ratio, higher reached speed (~903mph). I don't know if this counts as a car while the rear wheels are replaced (adding small rotators will increase the weight too much). Still no XML modifications
Yeah, 9 galons :}

Looks like the game's engine has a fuzziness in its integrator. I've uploaded this model after exactly 25 test-runs which showed always over 900mph (902-903) reached speed and NO blown-ups/not-on-the-ground moments. But today, in new 25 runs, without a single change in design and the same drag points/power-to-weight-ratio/wing-area/weight the car blown before the finish, reached only 881mph, and yes - did a lift-off AT the FINISH (which means 0mph, ie fail)
Devs, can you look at this?
