It was replaced by several similar-looking body sets - the '88 Indicator. Each one comes in a wide range of body styles, with wheelbases ranging from 2.55m to 3.0m.

The closest vanilla body in the latest version is this:
It’s the mid-sized '88 Indicator body, with a 2.7m wheelbase and a fastback pillarless coupe body style.

Using an old body (even older than some of the grill sauces in my garage) from the Kee era is always something that won’t satisfy you in 2022. Nevertheless, I have a soft spot for the 90s Camaro shape, and so I gave it a try.
And yes, it looks meeh. There is a reason why these outdated bodies are actually only used by creators that feel nostalgic.
Nevertheless: This is the 1993 Globus Phoenix, available as SC and GT trim. The car was not a total flop, but it overall failed to succeed due to wrong market placement (too expensive for a muscle, too rough for a real GT) and the unusual design.

It’s not actually a bad design by any means, but there’s a good reason why that body wasn’t remastered as a vanilla option for any UE4 release: shortly after the first UE4 version came out, the Z15A/Z16A GTO/3000GT body sets were introduced as a mod, before becoming vanilla later on - and despite having a similarly rounded shape, its overall proportions are generally superior. That said, you have done a good job with the '90 F-Body mod.

One thing that usually looks good, especially big and bold, is font with some of the vertical scale turned down. I usually start at .5 (50%).
That trick may pay off on the back lettering.

1967-69 VAUGHN SILVERBIRD
The Vaughn Silverbird was introduced for the 1967 model year. It was Vaughn’s first entry in the pony car segment.
There was three trim levels available. The base model (shown on the picture) was only called the “Silverbird”. Then there was the “Silverbird Rallye”, which was mostly an appearance package, and the muscle trim, the “Silverbird GTC”.
You could get the Silverbird with both the classic Vaughn V8 or a newly developed, overhead camshaft inline six. There was options like disc brakes and a clutch pack LSD available, as well as an automatic 3-speed transmission or a 4-speed manual instead of the standard 3-speed manual. The GTC always had the high performance version of the V8, as well as 4 speed manual transmission, clutch pack LSD, spoilers, alloy wheels on radial tyres and disc brakes, among other features.
The available body types were a 2 door convertible (only available in the “Rallye” trim level) or a 2 door coupé. Though this story was short, and already in 1970 the second generation Silverbird was launched.

This may or may not be the next Ascot Automotive model, inspired by a previous car I made in the 4.1 version of Automation, which in itself was inspired by the ninth generation Chevy Impala SS.
The body you plan to use may be too small for an 00s Impala SS replica. Besides, you may need at least 300 horsepower to match it.

Less a replica, more the fact that I think that ‘FWD Muscle’ cars are a silly but fun little idea.
Reviving my own thread, 'cause I can and 'cause maybe others have muscle or pony cars they’d like to share.
Currently working on a pony car, but I’m not sure if the front is too busy to match with the back or even just in general. And not sure what do try to do to make it look more apporpriate for a mid to late 60s pony car.

2020 Cardinal
A no-brand modern muscle sedan that started out as a… naming theme idea. Engines from a 3.8 DOHC V6 to a 6.4 “supercharged” OHV V8, all powering the rear wheels only. You can learn and see more in my thread - and you can even configure your own one there! (thanks @Happyhungryhippo for inspiration in that regard)
