The Ryback Javelin is a sports-styled muscle car included in the Deadline Pack released on October 19th, 2010.

## Description

Sporty and curvy in appearance, the Javelin is based on the Series 2 Lotus Exige, evident by majority of the body, including the front fascia, and side profile.

At the front, the car has a honeycomb styled grille that spans throughout most of the front bumper. The Side vents are split in two with a thin LED light strip in the middle. The vents themselves are covered in mesh grating. The vents slightly extend outwards as it reaches the front fenders. The headlights are diamond shaped with two large lights in its housing. The hood itself is long, and it has a vent integrated into it at the middle of the headlights.

From the front to the rear fenders, the body line dips down and curves before it inclines higher than the front fenders, adding to its muscular appearance. Although subtle, the side profile has ridges running along the base of the side skirts. It includes curved carbon fiber skirts. Behind the doors are three vertical side vents.

The roof includes only one vortex generator. Behind the rear window are another three vents but instead they are horizontal. In the middle of both taillights is a discreet retractable spoiler.

The taillights are obtuse-shaped, with two rear bulbs in its housing. A large license plateholder is situated in the middle. The Javelin sports dual exhaust pipes placed that angles from the bottom of the car. Surrounding them are mesh grating and to the right side is a tow hook. At the edges of the rear bumper, there are side vents, like the front.

The javelin sports unique 5-spoke black rims with red center locks and as standard, includes "Split/Second" written on its tire walls. The car's livery has majority of the body colored in white, with grey sections around the front and rear bumpers, as well as on top of the door seals and A-Pillar. The rest of the car can be painted by the player's choosing.

The Javelin has **5** colors:

* **Amber**
* **Grey**
* **White**
* **Blue**
* **Dark Blue**

## Performance

From a standstill, the Javelin has acceleration on par with its close competitor, the Centaur. However it is a tad slower, considering the latter has additional grip. Within a few seconds, the car can achieve medium speeds. At higher speeds, the Javelin can surpass a few cars within Class A. Due to its slightly lower speed, most cars can slowly catch up to it.

During cornering, it shows good stability. However, during heavy corners is where the Javelin would have to slow down a certain amount due to having more understeer than the Centaur.

Against powerplays, shockwaves can cause the Javelin to go more into a slide as it is more tail-happy. This means the player would have to place effort into the counter-steer.

The main attribute of the Javelin is its drift. Unlike the Centaur, the car can be forced into a series of chain drifts like the Kanobo, Cascade, Slipstream and Firestorm. Because the Javelin has excellent grip, drift angles can be exceeded once the player changes direction if desired.

This makes it one of two that can easily fill up a power-meter near instantaneously without ending one's prolonged drifts and offers some excellent drift scores. Like the Centaur, drifts could close the gap on majority of cars as it can maintain almost all of its speed during slides.

## Trivia

* The Javelin can be seen a few times in the official Quarry Trailer.
* The Javelin shares its engine sound with the Pursuit and GT12, with their pitches increased respectively.
