There’s no mention of a set of attributes for an Australian sports sedan of this era (the only example of which would have been the HDT VK Commodore); however, the closest equivalent would be an American “muscle sedan”:
At any rate, I am definitely considering such an approach if I choose to enter this challenge.

looks great ! LOVE volvos and the 5 cylinder engines
I’m not able to import the base car, so if I submit something it may not be a 1/1 replica, sadly. I don’t know if that’s acceptable?
You are meant to rival it, not replicate it, so…
Hi Fido,
I made it with a mod body so it wouldn’t be acceptable (no mod bodies in the rules)
You are welcome to look at the car - you need the mod body - so you can measure and assess its capabilities - but the idea is that this is research to help you build an even better car from scratch yourself.
That said - no copying is allowed - many thanks
Oh, I meant a 1/1 replica (or approximating rather) in equipment it has, etc.
I’m not planning on building the exact same car.
Hi Fido,
Doesn’t have to be a replica - If it was a replica of another type of car that would be cool but since the 535 was considered to be the best of its class - it’s hard to see how another real world car would win the competition.
What would be cool is if you took an existing model or make and then made a special improved version, and put what you did in the text file - that would be great and I think I’d like that when I was scoring stuff.
Bardot Brigadier 23T
Now featuring our all new engine, featuring alluminum construction, injection and a turbo.
To tame all this power, the Brigadier features advanced safety, all around disc brakes and excellent driving dynamics.
Speeding has never been so easy. (Bardot does not encourage overspeeding)

I should’ve used a different word than replica, but couldn’t think of another one at the time.

nice looks good man! looking forward to driving it
I have only only one word to answer to you: FWD
I’ve driven some great FWD before… at this power level the lightness of FWD and cost saving could be an advantage… I tried to make the competition choices as balanced as possible.
Since one of the performance tests is top gear acceleration, are automatic transmissions off the table?
Hey that’s a good point I didn’t think of that with the Auto transmission.
I’ll mull it over while the competition runs and think of a wokr-around.
Durendal Gladius (upscale version of an Armor Briar). Durendal is a mainly American company that originated in Australia (they still produce their 2-seat sports car in Melbourne).
