Sports cars ratings
Hemi Cuda to Miata to GR86. Muscle cars and pony cars are drafted in here, and so are the serious hot hatches, which means the 70s pool is mostly big-block American iron and the 2010s pool is mostly turbocharged everything.
How these ratings are built
Rated on published power, 0-60 mph and top speed, standardised against the other sports cars of the same decade and curved onto 40-99. Two honesty notes worth knowing: pre-1972 American cars use the gross horsepower figures that were advertised at the time and 1972-onward cars use SAE net, never mixed within a single car; and the 1975-1982 malaise era really did gut American output, so a late-seventies pony car sits low here because it genuinely was slow, not because anyone has a grudge.
Every rating in this category runs on the same 40 to 99 scale the rest of the game uses. There are 184 entries here across 7 pools. In the game itself these numbers stay hidden until the verdict screen, which is the whole point of the auction; this page is the reference copy, for settling arguments after the fact.

All-time
40 in this pool, from Challenger Hellcat at 99 down to M5 F10 at 40.
This is the all-time pool. It takes the best of every decade and re-spreads them across the full 40-99 range among themselves, so an all-time draft has the same shape as a decade draft. That is why an entry here carries a different number from the one it has in its own decade table above.
