Anyone else..
10 seems good. Is everyone happy with 10, or should we go for 12, or 15?

Before we start, what constitutes a seperate model? In particular, do different generations count as different cars? Coupe/convertible = same car? etc.

Instead of having it <50 000 USD... maybe you could have something like between 30 000 and 50 000 USD and the between 50 001 to 100 000 USD

personally i am not a huge fan of the price categories as i think they are all covered off with the other ones anyways and some of the cars that could be picked are not availble or priced in USD

May I get in? I will do a better job than the TV draft.

May I suggest a formula in actually how to have a competition at the end of the draft...

Something like (Total hp * AVG 0-60 times) - Total MSRP

The bigger the number the better.

only problem with that is determining the MSRP of some of the cars. Pre-war cars as an example. how do you determine the pricing? same with hp and 0-60 times etc.. easy for modern cars but much harder for the old stuff.. race car etc

I haven't been involved in one of these drafts before, other then looking at the pictures in one of them, so I wasn't sure how winners are determined. I was curious how this would be done. Perhaps it is just for fun.

There seems to be an awful lot of categories. I would vote for axing the price ones for sure as they don't seem necessary to me. I'm also not big on the concept car one; I would prefer to stick to real cars.

I think no price too if anything, but if people are insistent on price, I would rather have a between $XXXXX and $XXXXX instead of under $XXXXX

Fictional cars would work better since well real cars that has been in movies will be under the other categories anyways.

But anyways those categories seems good to me
