Question: LHE is moderatly invested in turbo tech in the 90s can I following my companys lore enter a sedan using a SOHC-3v turbo V8? (displacement is 5.25L)
Are we allowed racing intakes and exhausts? Makes a bit of difference on which tuning approach I go with…
So conflicted right now, I want to let you use your car but it’ll upset the (rather questionable) balance of my categories!
Can you fit the engine into an MR body, will that work within your lore?
Yup, go wild, I’m not worried about reliability beyond “does it break?”

Oh, that makes sense.
I guess I was thinking automatic in that you simply select the 4x4 button and engage automatically instead of manually having to leave the vehicle and lock the hubs in manually.
Looking into it further I suppose selectable locking differential would be a better name for the manual system.
Whereas the automatic lockers from what I’m seeing lock and unlock automatically with no direct input from the driver usually detecting a lack of traction or something.

Zast had a tuning company started somewhere in the late 80s basically turbocharging anything at their hands.
all was ok,until a foreign newspaper was given in 1996.
#1996
Ernie, aged in his 40s was enjoying steady profit and he pretty much got bored until one of his employees, one from japan, gave him a foreign newspaper saying a modified Fairlady Z was running in the highways of japan exceeding 300km/h.It was supercar beating performance and Ernie was intrigued that he made a car. with a batch of 10 cars per year to japan exclusively.
Zast Externos
The Externos was a supercar built for highway racing,which Ernie wasn’t well educated.The only thing Ernie thought of when the phrase “highway racing” comes up,he thought Ｍ Ａ Ｘ Ｐ Ｏ Ｗ Ｅ Ｒ and so it did in a form of a 4.7L V12 Turbo with 1045hp which at the era is F1 power.
At the pursuit of that “Z”,Ernie sent Asakura Ateri to do testing in japan of the Externos.Ateri went to Haruna to do suspension modification because he knew that it did not consist of only straights but corners that may slow it down.
Ateri then did severe suspension testing and configurations.The final product was worth all the testing for it did 4:30.54
Ernie seemed like the goal of catching that “Z” was possible

OI, this isn’t exactly a car shopping r-
Ah whatever, time to make some extreme eurobeat induced MADNESS.
I suppose the bodies can only be tops from 1975-ish to stick to the 90’s theme?
i prepared a detuned version that goes faster just in case someone breaks the benchmark 
Active aero allowed? I’m getting the feeling that it probably oughtn’t be…
don’t think active aero was even a thing in super cars in the 90s
well, it’s definitely appearing as an option for me, which is like, super weird, but it’s there!
Not that super weird, as high engineering cars developed in 1996 only hit the market in like…2002 or 2003?
The Murcielago had these flappy cooler vents that opened and closed, and that car came out in 2002. (God, I feel old now)
Edit: but I get what you mean, hell, even active suspension is a thing, I feel like that shouldnt be a thing.
LOL now someone has to put a simulation with all the submitted cars and race it there
I’d also like to clarify, is top speed the main criteria here or is just getting to 300km/h enough, then see how fast you get down Haruna?
…or are we gonna race Wangan too? Because if we are then I’m going to… lower the attack of my aero… a lot…
also even 600bhp is enough to go insane fast down this damn hill, forget that benchmark!

i think someone also made the C1 route too.
yeah ram made it… and it’s the smaller in-town highway. i forgot about that

Racing Wangan would be awesome…
Not sure if I’m competing (as much as I’d love to blast the 5.7L V6 SOHC-4v per cylinder down the mountain… It really doesn’t fit in any of the categories, and I don’t want to just enter the 1996 Storm Knight into yet-another-challenge because I’m honestly a bit tired of seeing that damn car.) but yeah, 600 horsepower in a well-designed car can do a very fast downhill.
As much as HOL would like to let it run, it doesn’t fit in any category.
