I'm sure it could be decent with some tinkering.

I tried all of the swapped cars I could make - most of them - just a few laps each. I'm all about it. Not sure what I expected. I guess they would be a little more interesting if they remained 100% unobtainable as originally planned.

The closest one to something I'd do in real life (money no object) is the Z4 GT3 engine into the M3. Funny thing about that engine, it never sounds good in any game haha. I'll probably build out the car to be like the M3 GTR, naturally, but don't see messing with any of the others much.

The Lancia R35 was the most surprisingly pleasing to drive, basically bone stock except the swap.

VR38 Delta is good. But stock brakes are trash with that engine's power.

K20 Mini is really just for laughs. Lighting up the tires and smoking the track in 5th gear. Haha. Very undriveable.

3UZ Crown is surprisingly good. Even being a land yacht.

If you think Crown is a yacht, did you try Hellcat swap Challenger? Now that's a yacht! lol

Waiting on it coming back to the Legends lot. Don't want to swap the only Challenger I got.

M3 GTR? What you mean by that. The E46 M3 GTR had a V8 engine.

F40 tuned for 700PP does pretty well in all the 700 PP WTC races.

Right, you can swap the Z4 GT3's V8 in the E46 to make a sorta M3 GTR.

M3 GTR was probably about my favorite car in GT4.

Bought another '70 Challenger and did the Hellcat swap. Does anyone know if the red line changes to what the engine's actual red line is, or does the tach stay the same? Seems like there is plenty more past this swappes Challenger's redline.

Best way to figure out is see the 787 red line & 7 w 787 engine swap redline. Assumed it would change, but they might not

I'll have to test that out later.

With the Challenger, it would actually start accelerating quicker after redline, and go for another 30 mph or so before the fuel cut off is activated. Made it hard to drive the car since I didn't know when to shift.

I recall the FD with 787 engine, the needle basically going off the deep end of the tach before cutoff. Definitely reports the actual engine RPM haha.

Can't recall if it started beeping at you at any point. Wouldn't really matter because of how insanely loud the engine is

Oh my mistake! I thought the Z4 GT3 used a TT I6. Easy to mix that up given how bad the Z4 and E92 GT3 cars sound in GT

If anyone have Thrustmaster wheel & wanting a shifter? Thrustmaster is having a sale & shifter is on sale.

Holy shit. I don’t know how I did it. But I won a GR3 event with a Vulcan lol. Fuel Trim 6, Hard Tires, 2 fuel stops with the first one being after the first lap.
Didn’t need to turn back FT 1 until maybe 1/2 mile out.

Is that newer 800pp race? If that’s the case, I used Mazda LM55. LM55 is a beast!
