With the release of the new update, a few things have changed.
Swanson Automotive presents:
The Coke Brick 237 SPNX , now with 20% more brick!
So long, folks
(This is weird… A sports sedan competition based in the US and no v8 RWD things? Oh well, time to resolve that & probably fail to build something competitive in the process) 
1989 Vidar Dragoon - Americana
4.0L Special Edition
As a final salute to the Dragoon Americana, Vidar have released the 4.0L Special Edition.
Building upon the tried and tested Vidar “Bluefox” v8 engine, this new 4.0L variant is not shared with any other model. Vidar engineers have worked on each engine to relaibly provide over 220HP, which propells this sports sedan to a top speed of around 230km/h.
Putting this power to the pavement is a race-inspired 5 speed manual and LSD system, along with custom sports suspension.
The sporty yet well equipped interior and advanced safety features, such as ABS, will make sure that the whole family falls in love with your pride and joy.
Prices starting from $21,000. Quantity limited!
I was gonna do a late 80s version of a ninth gen Impala SS… so Transverse FWD V8.
I’m surprised the OP hasn’t been updated to reflect this - but the deadline extension was a necessary evil to accommodate any changes brought on by the latest update.
Yes, sorry. It slipped my mind since it’s novel writing month- I’ll update the OP now!
In preparation for this, I made three test mules (a smaller FWD I4 sport compact, a larger RWD I6 mid-sizer, and a full-sized, rear-drive V8) - the FWD one turned out to be too slow, so now I’m torn between the other two. I actually evaluated two different V8s in the last mule (a 5.0L OHV unit and a 4.0L DOHC mill, both all-alloy) and can’t yet decide which one suits it best - but as things stand, I’ll choose the I6 mid-sized entry over either on account of how much lighter it is compared to the V8s.
Every now and then you’ll might come across the winding road… like this
The car you might need is the Pocono CD3000 ES!
The V6 powered CD3000 ES Package barrages with the technologies to your hands.
Digital Dash with Graphic Tachometer, 8 ways power seats, automatic seat belts, Anti-lock Brake System, Traction Control System, Adjustable Suspension now all standard!
The new Pocono CD3000 ES pushes your motion with fuel injected V6 200 horses strong, snapping from zero into “spectacular”.
You’re using that '84 ‘Japanese’ body for this as well, right? Might be interesting to see how ours compare to one another.
I plan on getting enough style points to win 
The car is shit.
Both the Vista and Ascot are built on the '84 Muni body set, but the former is AWD and the latter FWD - in fact, the Vista reminds me of the Ford Laser (KF/KH) TX3 AWD of the early '90s:
I never considered turbos for my entry, though, considering how much they add to service costs (esepcially in smaller engine compartments).
The 1987 SM45 series Owlsa EX-S
Planar’s first full-size Owlsa, the SM45 brings new levels of design and refinement.
From the new liftback design, to the EX-S exclusive sporty two-tone and sports wheels, the SM45 Owlsa is here to impress.
The performance is impressive, too. With the latest RXO78 flat six from Rotomax under the bonnet making 209 hp, going to the rear wheels through a 5 speed manual and LSD, the SM45 EX-S can do 0-60 in 6.4 seconds, and goes on to a top speed of 156 mph.
Available now for $30,000, call your nearest Planar dealer for more information and to book a test drive.
The New Baumhauer 4 Series
étendard
The 4 Series is a a symbol of sophistication for a car in its class, with its aerodynamically-designed body which allows for generous cabin room while also maintaining compact exterior dimensions. Years of painstaking innovation and engineering has made the 4 Series the leader for safety, interior comfort, and powertrain technologies.
Safety
Safety remains a hallmark of all Baumhauer products, with the Vier four-wheel-drive system providing traction in all road conditions, the galvanized chassis providing class-leading rust protection, the anti-lock braking system that improves control during emergency braking situations, and the protense (Programmed Tension Security) supplemental restraint system providing excellent safety to occupants.
Interior
The interior of a 4 Series is the place to be. All controls are placed logically as they should be in the cabin, which is upholstered in supple leather and Bavarian wood trim. The gauge cluster’s advanced computer display keeps track of various functions of the car, including mileage, fuel economy, and other diagnostic information.
Powertrain
Doing our part for the health and sustainability of our planet, every Baumhauer sold in the United States and Europe are catalyzed, reducing tailpipe emissions significantly. The 4 Series’ range of five-cylinder gasoline engines are the hallmark of performance and efficiency. The engines’ 4-valve-per-cylinder technology allows them to breathe more freely, which improves engine power output and fuel efficiency across a wide range of speeds.
