Dodge Horsepower Challenge

[QuadFin]

Diggin around on the web I found this. Now, you don't know what they are using for a coefficient of friction or rolling resistance, or how many decimal places they carry out to.

They are using the rolling resistance for concrete/asphalt which averages between 0.01 to 0.015 for normal street tires.

So like Dodge. If you had not yet entered your answer you get a freebie. This contest is really being run very poorly.

For anybody that caught my now deleted rant earlier, apparently they are applying significant digits.

Problem is, you're not supposed to do that until the end...

NOT part way through the MIDDLE of an equation...

Yeah, it says 11:59:59 pm ET Monday on each of the weeks.
They are gonna get sued for their conduct of this contest.

.5 * .002377 * 1116.4^2 * .398 * 26.72 = 15752.82207
.015 * 4451 = 66.765

=15819.58707 * 1116.4

=17660987 / 550

=32110.88546

It’s posted on the horsepower challenge website. I’m sure someone at Dodge released it earlier than they should have.

Yeah, but knowing FCA the new Challenger50 badge probably adds 50lbs. 😬

How long before that badge is changed to this by somebody?... BLING BLING...

Hmmmm....perhaps there will be a 7th Challenger given away. If this keeps up, they will give away 5 extra cars
I have no idea how they would rectify this screw-up since the contest for this week isn't over yet.
What a MCF this is turning into.

It would be very easy to walk into Fed Ct and get an injunction and shut this contest down. Two weeks - two complete f-ups.

Right on! Sloppy engineering practice. I just do my calc's the right way, and look for the closest reasonable answer.

Yeah, at least they admitted to last weeks and offered up a remedy right away. Computer programming problems happen, so I get it. But this week? This is s major screw-up. Everyone in this contest this week could sue now.
