jwrebholz's Any Means Necessary Budget Rider (All Your Ring Are Belong To Us)

Here's another BR idea for you guys to chew on. Call this one "Any Means Necessary".

You've been captured by KAOS. They've mistaken you for a powerful government agent, and they were going to execute you--but then they realized their foul-up when they saw the REAL agent walking around somewhere else. Unfortunately they can't just let you go, so their leader will cut you a deal.

You've been given a selection of beater used cars--none of which has more than about 250 HP. Your captors kick you a paltry 15,000 cr for modifications. There is a 50-kg bomb in the trunk of your car. The timer is set for 500 seconds (8 minutes) and will begin counting down the moment you cross the start/finish line. Cross the finish line before the bomb goes off. Drive like your life depends on it--because it DOES. Hold nothing back. Use any means necessary--that means mowing the lawn, wallriding, cutting corners, whatever you can to shave seconds.

So the terms are as follows:
Pick ANY used car with 250 or less HP.
Spend up to 15,000 cr on mods.
Add 50kg ballast to either the extreme rear of the car or extreme front (for MR cars) for the bomb.
Finish one lap in under 8 minutes any way you can.
