Car Model Names
Certain letters and numbers are used disproportionately often in car models compared to regular text. (see:"Rev-4 cr-x x3 G6 Maxx")

In English, letters like X and Z are rarely used in the common vernacular. Marketers have found that names with these infrequently-appearing letters sell more products.
Scores
There are two explanations for scores. Both of them share the fact that Randall must have used a car-name database to calculate letter frequency in car models.
There are 19 positive scores and 17 negative scores, which is interpreted differently in each explanation.
Score(x) = Frequency_in_cars(x) - Frequency_in_English(x)
This formula generates a positive number if a letter is more common in car models than in typical English (as X) which Randall then calls carlike. The formula generates a negative number if a letter's relative frequency in car models is lower than in typical English (as O) and Randall calls it English-like (more suitable for readable text). The letters F and B, with scores of 5 and -5, respectively, are about as common in English as in car models. With this nomenclature, the most English-like letter is Y because, while not the most common English letter, it is apparently extremely rare in car models. The most common letter in ordinary English is E, which is (presumably) fairly common in car models.
Score(x) = Frequency_in_cars(x)
It seems that Randall arbitrarily used positive and negative numbers: if a letter is very common in car models (as X) he calls it carlike. If a letter is very uncommon in car models (as O) he calls it English-like. With this nomenclature the most English-like letter is Y, but actually Y is the least carlike letter. The most common letter in ordinary English is E. Y on the other hand is just in the middle (place 13), which can't be called English-like.
Algorithm for the index
Randall devised an index for car models which is the score average divided by 10.
Example
We take 2Chainz and add the scores of its different numbers and letters: 6 +27 -44 -14 -21 -46 +83 = -9
Average is -9/7 = -1.29 and divided by 10 it's -0.129 or -0.13.

Potential Hits
Note that Randall gives the symbol × the value of 126, which means he equates it with the letter x.
index(3×3Cutrix) = (+55 + score(×) +55 +27 -68 -18 +8 -21 +126)/9/10 = 3.22. This means that the score of the symbol × is 90×3.22 - 164 = 125.8
Title text
As mentioned in the comic, the index for the word "climax" is 2.48. However, applying the index to the phrase "sexclimax" yields a value of 2.72, higher than that for "climax".
