The Ryback Firestorm is a muscle car that is featured in Split/Second. It is the last to be rewarded to the player if they complete all regular events in 1st place throughout Season Mode.

## Description

The Firestorm is an amalgamation of the 2007 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, and the 1964 Shelby Daytona, as it shares it's components across the entire body.

The Firestorm sports a grille that sits at the front bumper, with the far sides splitting it into three sections with connecting body work. It is covered by black horizontal slats. Above the grille, it sports thin hazard lights. In the middle section of the grille off to the left is a red tow hook. The hood has a small scoop situated above Ryback's logo. This in itself creates a hood bulge, The headlights are egg-shaped, and they include three circular lights each for every housing.

Behind the front wheel fenders starts a groove that forms into a ridge spanning towards the end of the doors, with the bottom ridge forming the shape of the side skirt. Within the grooves are three slanted side vents. The Firestorm includes colored mirrors to match the body color. The body line from the front fenders start to angle down until it reaches the end of the doors, where it will round off and form the rear fenders and will wrap around to form the Firestorm's ducktail. On the left rear fender sits a gas cap.

Behind the rear fender is a singular vent. The rear section is slanted and flattened out. The trunk takes up a portion of the rear. On both sides, the Firestorm has three small taillights, with each containing four squares inside each cluster. near the top of the trunk sits a brake light. Below the rear bumper is two dual exhaust pipes and a red tow hook near the left set of pipes.

The Firestorm comes with five-spoke black rims with "Split/Second" written in the tire walls. The livery consist of a flame-like design that fades from red to black, along with white sections that serve as the background for it. The white sections are included on the side as well. The rest of the car can be painted by the player's choosing.

The Firestorm has **7** colors:

* **Grey**
* **Black**
* **White**
* **Blue**
* **Dark Blue**
* **Red**
* **Light Red**

## Performance

Off the line, the Firestorm showcases average acceleration, but over time, the car will slowly climb to moderate/high speeds. During high speeds, it is no slouch, able to surpass some of the vehicles at the beginning of Class A.

During cornering, the Firestorm suffers from understeer at high speeds, so speed is to be sacrificed in order to make sharp bends and turns. Against powerplays and shockwaves, it can withstand the normal powerplays, the usual result of causing the car to slide for a brief moment.

The real strength of the Firestorm begins with its drift. Since the car is prone to understeer at high speeds, the drifts can make up for it, during a drift, the car will slow down, but before the exit, the car will accelerate greatly, allowing the Firestorm to reach high speeds again.

If the Firestorm is used in a certain way, this becomes a volatile and competitive vehicle. If the player conducts a series of short drifts and then prolongs them, the car will reach top speed with in seconds. In addition to that, performing chain drifts will keep the car at very high speeds. This makes it one of the fastest cars in the entire game.
