Looks pretty modern
Looks pretty tiny. Will it be able to house a big v8?
Itās substantially smaller than a Mustang, with a wheelbase of 2.5 m. That one holds a 6.6L V8 with some room to spare, and I did expand the engine bay slightly since. It should be able to take a 7.0L+ V8, but I havenāt tested that yet. Engine bay is also fairly narrow, so thereās limited space for turbos with a large V8.
Nice!
Looks very nice for sure.
Any plans on making a scaled up version for proper american muscle boat action?

Havenāt thought of it, since Corvette6317 already gave us a large muscle car. I could consider making that a project, but no guarantees. Iām still debating a shooting brake variant to add to the hardtop and convertible (of which I could show a photo soon enough).
I should also mention that the back has a lot of morphing options, with the whole rear of the greenhouses on one morph, the side window on another, yet another for the rear windshield, and then a separate one for the C pillars. Basically, the rear windshield can be morphed like these:
I donāt think Corvette6317 would mind very much as heād probably have as much fun as the rest of us using it
You know what they sayā¦ The more, the merrier!
We actually might benefit from a more classic non-fastback muscle body. Falcon XB GT is cool, sure, but itās back does not leave much to work with
This. Apart from the Falcon body there is no other suitable muscle car body ingame.
My original plan was to make a 60s pony car mashup of the Mustang and Camaro, but then I figured a 2000s ponycar would probably be more popular. My next project is the 2016 Suburban/Escalada ESV/Yukon XL, with both an Avalanche style unibody pickup and a conventional single cab (and maybe extended cab) pickup. After that, who knowsā¦ I have been looking into the Oldsmobile 442/Pontiac GTO for a classic muscle car.
I approve of the GMT, but I think the Olds 442/ GTO is too similar to the XB Falcon to really add something new to the game.
Thatās exactly why Iām hesitant to do it. Iād rather fill the gaps between available bodies than to add similar alternatives. Iāve also been thinking of the Toyota Tercel, to give a subcompact coupe and sedan option for the 1990s, something weāre really lacking. Iāve also been looking into 2000s and 2010s sedans (both compact and midsize) to fill some large gaps. I really donāt know what my next project following the SUV/pickups will be. Might even be thisā¦

Saab 9-5 estate
Yes! The one that never made it to production because of Saabās bankruptcy. Only 27 pre-production models exist, and of those 22 were sold at auction. Of course Iād make the sedan version as well.
The rear of the pony car can be morphed from thisā¦
ā¦to this
And of course thereās also this variant
Any non fastback muscle will do. Camaro is fine
Seems intrestingā¦ waiting to see the final product

How about a mid-sized 1950s sedan? The 1950s are by far the most underpopulated decade when it comes to bodies. The only mid-sized body for the 1950s is the Mk.II Jag one. If you wanāt something larger you have to use a Cadillac Series 62, if you want something smaller you are forced to use a 1960s Ford Cortina or a very british Austin A30.

Iāve thought about the 50s as well, and the 40s too. Thereās nothing from the 50s that Iāve gotten inspiration from at this point so I have no plans for that at the moment, while the 1940 Plymouths have caught my eye for a future project, but Iām still undecided on that. I have looked at the Mercedes 600 for a large 60s European luxury car, so thatās also a future possibility.
If the devs made a scaled down version of the 50s Cadillacs to be more in line with compact/midsize cars of the 50s, that would be a great addition.
The pony car is now available on the first post! Hereās the standalone download:

Absolutely loving the new pony car! Already made one design that I really, really like with it. Got a 4 liter V8 in it, and it looks like thereās plenty of room for bigger engines, which is awesome.
