The team decided to redesign it so that players would feel excited rather than disappointed when they saw the car. Early feedback was that it seemed too similar to the Half-Life 2 Scout Car. As stated by Valve's David Speyrer, that name says something about how uncool it was. The Episode Two car was originally a Volkswagen Beetle, named " Jalopy".At White Forest, MIRT makes several changes to it before Gordon uses it against the Combine while defending Magnusson's rocket. The Muscle Car is used until Gordon and Alyx make it to White Forest, picking up a radar module from a still occupied Resistance outpost along the way. Gordon makes his way through the Zombie-infested outpost to retrieve it. They find the Muscle Car, seemingly intact, on the far side of the bridge which is not directly accessible. Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance retrieve the Muscle Car from an abandoned and recently raided Resistance outpost overlooking a bridge, on the edge of the Victory Mine area. Unlike the Half-Life 2 chapters featuring the Scout Car, there aren't many long jumps that need to be made but it can be helpful to use the turbo boost to try and stay ahead of the Hunter-Chopper, win the race to White Forest against DOG, or during the final battle to get ahead of Striders or ram Hunters (though they often jump out of the way).Īlyx in the Muscle Car. She also seems to take aim more and make more accurate shots. While riding in it, Alyx helps Gordon by using her gun to shoot down any enemies. The Muscle Car can be used to run over Zombies as well as Hunters and other enemies, and break through barricades. The Muscle Car appears to be a stripped down and extensively modified 2nd generation 1969 Dodge Charger, due to its flat tail lights, split-grille, and coke-bottle rear quarter design. This happens especially on grass or dirt. When making sharp turns, the Muscle Car tends to skid. It is wider and harder to flip, which is a time gain. Due of this, it has shorter cool-down time than the Scout Car, so the Muscle car is more suitable for fast driving, even off-road, compared to the Scout Car. The Muscle Car's boost is not as fast as the Scout Car's boost was, making it much more controllable.
They are similar, however, in that they're both equipped with a turbo boost. Unlike the Scout Car, the Muscle Car has two seats, for a driver and a single passenger. It is used to transport Resistance members from outpost to outpost. The Muscle Car is an invaluable vehicle in the Resistance arsenal.
