I'm going with 587. And since the person that sets the number is probably reading this thread, I wanted to let you know that there will be a little something for you if I win.
So you may want to set the HP number accordingly.

Been thinking about this. Should a rule be in place that is once a post is made with an entry...it shouldn't be edited (obviously, all posts edits to this point would be okay)? Or maybe shouldn't be edited after the date the official number is published?

So yeah, price is right style may seem silly when you are 1 over and closest is 10 under, but it immediately solves the problem when they are equidistant.
I have added an additional rule to clarify this...
In the event that the exact number is not declared in an entry, but two entries have the same difference in number from the official horsepower number (for example, the official number is 575, and one entry is 573 and another entry is 577...both 2 away from the official number) the person who chose closest without going over ("The Price is Right" style) will be declared the winner.
I don't think it will be an issue, though...I think someone will hit the number exactly.

This is what makes doing contests sucky. I try to keep it simple and it gets complicated anyway! It was originally "everyone post a freakin' number" and now this! All in good fun...

Yes I do. The keychains are awsome. I need a black to go with my red and complete the set.

I will put them on my shelf along with my collection of NASCAR driver mason jars.
