<b>Introduction</b><br>
What do you do when you're too tall to pilot a Porsche 356, but all your friends are driving one? You take the slightly larger sequel, put the same engine in it, and technically meet the minimum weight requirements after replacing all the glass with lexan and using a suspiciously heavy spare tire during scrutineering.<br>
<br>
This is a 1968 Porsche 912 with a hopped up 1600cc flat 4 motor, classic 911R inspired body, and a light touch of outlaw Porsche style that Parts Obsolete is known for. It was built in the early 2000s. Yes, it's based on a specific resto-modded car. This skin corresponds to that car.<br>

It handles like a classic narrow body Porsche - too much weight in the back, not enough traction. Use the throttle to prevent oversteer, brake early because when it's late, it's too late. Be wary of putting more negative camber on the front, it'll just provoke the oversteer.<br>
<br>
Pairs well with the Alfa Romeo GTA. You'll need to limit the 912 to running Vintage tyres. I believe the Alfa's marginally faster in absolute terms but the 912 has a narrow-ratio gearbox that keeps it in the power band so it's good anywhere.<br>

<b>Installation</b><br>
Open the 7zip file, drag and drop into assettocorsa/content/cars. The normal deal.<br>
<i><span style="font-size: 18px">This mod requires the Custom Shaders Patch, ideally version 0.1.60 or newer.</span></i><br>
Several physics fixes contained therein simplify production of trailing arm geometry cars, it'd be silly to work around them. I haven't tested down to lower versions as this is the latest recommended.<br>

This is version 1.0. Has 2 LODs for balance of performance. As with some of my other projects this is a quick one, so it's not fully featured - the doors don't open, the interior focuses on dashboard detail and skimps on floormats. It's meant to be driven, not poked around at in a showroom.<br>
