I caved to peer pressure and now my preciously balanced Serpent, which was >100 competitive in the budget sports car segment, has a fucking snail on it. 
I hope the extra power and LSD count for something, because they trash segment competitiveness. Automation’s markets seem particularly disinterested in shelling out for a geared LSD.

I am happy with my entry as it is right now, and currently feel no need to revise it. In particular, the inherent loss of drivability caused by a turbocharged engine (especially with the primitive technology of the era) was not worth the potential increases in performance in my view. Also, I felt that AWD contradicted the simpler philosophy of the car I submitted due to the extra weight and cost. To prove a point, I made a turbo AWD test car recently, and found it to be even thirstier and more expensive than the Arrowhead, although it was also faster in a straight line.

It’s the 80’s LSD counted for plenty

Haha me too, me too. Went from 100-110 in light sport premium and adjacent segments to… Well, under 100 
, and that was with me reducing boost and really sweating the new balance. On the plus side prestige and comfort increased, the latter probably due to the better mid-range torque.

whats the new deadline
It’s 19 hours and 25 minutes from this post.
I can’t be bothered calculating the actual timezones etc. I’m already struggling to finish the car as it is.

and ad. don’t forget the ad for this round.
(it is a neccesity, right?)
@lordvader1 Yeah, I think I may have cocked things up trying to translate the timezones and everything so I keep the timer and the deadline is now a joke…as in it’s on April 1st at 12:12 am PDT (GMT/UTC -7) aka Saturday LA time.
So yeah @strop is correct.
@koolkei yes ads can be posted up to 24-48 hours after the deadline. It only has to be a simple thing but I’m obviously not going to penalise those who forget or what not…or will I?
Well, it’s just handy to check I’m not missing any fixtures or anything from the entries.
Plus a fair few haven’t actually listed their full vehicle name except in their ads so that’s handy for me to clarify things too.
It also gives people a chance to expand their brand or present with as much or little flair as they like. etc.

Small, quick, steel-aluminium two seater with perfect handling, RWD and TURBO - how could it be more cool?

Closer to sth between non-944 and non-911, but smaller and lighter (under 4m and a bit over 900kg) 
And it has the engine in the front.

What a mix then! Can we call it the “totally not a Porsche”-Porsche of the 80s of this round then?

You have been in this place before. Higher on the street. And you know it’s your time to go for it:
The Taore Corogne RZ-2000 TURBO. For 17420 AU
Features Include: Turbocharged 2l 4(5) cylinder DOHC engine, Torsen differential, sports tires, two bucket seats, of course with seatbelts, Dolby B capable tape deck, and for the times you’ve got premium in the tank: A Turbo Button.
Press it, and you’ll go into the TURBODRIVE-mode, which gives you 146% of the usual boost and especially brings the mid range torque up while being good for over 190 hp. But you don’t have to feed it premium to drive it daily, or nightly.
Get in and have a test drive, here are the keys. Feel free to press the button 
Click the image for a demonstration of the tape deck.
