The Ryback Mohawk is a muscle car that is featured in Split/Second.

## Design

Having the build of a beefy muscle car, the Mohawk is based on the third-generation Dodge Challenger, as evident by the overall body styling, except with a few changes. The Mohawk appears bigger due to the large fender flares.

The front includes a wide grille with louvers in it's place, spanning across the entire area. The outer edges are subtly separated to make space for the headlights, which are hidden. Ryback's manufacturer logo is situated right in the middle. Below the grille is a narrow air duct, included with dual lights on the farther edges. A red tow hook is shown just next to the side of one of the two smaller lights. The lower front also comes with single canards and a lip splitter.

The hood includes narrow inwards grooves that angle towards the Mohawk's subtle cowl hood, forming vents for the hood. The hood itself takes up most of the space due to it's size. The player's racing number is stickered in between the hood's cowl vents. On the roof shows a single vortex generator.

The Mohawk is mostly known for it's bulky fender flares, adding to the semi-aggressive styling of the car. It is mostly extended outwards at the rear wheel wells. The side skirts are painted black and behind the doors sit dual exhaust pipes angled towards the rear. Behind where the door ends is a narrow air duct. From there, it extends to the rear and widens it's profile.

The rear fascia is angled slightly upwards, making the Mohawk dawn a ducktail. Both the front and rear light housings are similar, except that the rear is a tad more narrow than the latter. The outer edges have the taillights situated away from the rear louvers, split into two. The lower bumper is split into three sections, all being covered in mesh grating, resulting in the car's internal parts to be looked that. The lower bumper is angled upwards to fit the large diffuser below.

Above the ducktail sits a wing with medium sized endplates on each side. There is a dual gas cap on the lower left section on the rear window. The car also comes with black six-spoke rims and *Split/Second* tires.

The Mohawk's livery is simple and basic, having double white stripes that starts from the lower front bumper and spans all the way to the lower rear bumper. There is a thin white stripe on top and a thick stripe below that spans from the end of the front fender to the start of the rear fender. the rest of the car's body can be selected by the player's choosing:

The Mohawk has **8** colors:

* **Crimson**
* **Red**
* **White**
* **Light Grey**
* **Grey**
* **Blue**
* **Dark Blue**
* **Orange**

## Performance

#### *Split/Second*

Near the middle of Class C, the Mohawk is one of the few cars to have below average acceleration. It does however get the car going, but only into average speeds as it has a low top speed, meaning that some cars in Class C could overtake it during races.

Despite it having stats that could possibly cripple a chance of winning a race, the Mohawk does have good drifting capabilities, It remains planted to the ground, however a deep drift will slow the car down to lower speeds. Against powerplays and shockwaves, the car remains firm, with the back-end shifting outwards a few inches.
