Auto Credit Based on Trainz448's Whirlwind Motors Thunderbolt Police Interceptor
A track-ready version of the Thunderbolt. 450 HP, 160 MPH max, and no rear seats (because weight reduction, bro!). Designed by WWM in the late 40s and early 50s for stock car racing, this thing dominated the Oval Office 500 in 1950, with a 1-2-3 finish by the 3 teams racing this car. One was the factory team (who scored 1st), and the other two were just using the car because it was fairly cheap. One of those two teams would later be absorbed by Whirlwind Motors, becoming its aviation division in the mid 70s.
