if you need to hack a car to be good, two kisses and good luck!
Not the point he was making.
He never said "i need these cars so i can become a better drifter". A lot of people like me for example made hybrids in a very realistic fashion. Never once did a chassis swap. Just engine and transmission. Also a lot of people made replicas of their real life drift cars (or real life replicas of D1/FD drift cars).
For example a friend of mine actually owns a S13 with a 2JZ for drifting so he made his exact car on the game. Me I had made a four rotary engine in my RX-7 Enfini. Nothing unrealistic about that. For the people that say "oh ok so you made a car with more HP"... Nope actually the engine is put in my RX-7 made about 50 less HP than the original engine.
Reason for the swap it liked the sound.
Basically I understand other's frustrations with their realistic cars that they spent time on tuning and being the car enthusiasts they are they made something cool and unique.
But at the same time I respect PD's decision to get ride of this. There are way to many bad things that can come from this. They cannot allow these to continue for very obvious reasons. I am just glad I took the chance and enjoyed it while it lasted.
Do I need these hybrids? No.
Do I need them to be a better drifter? No just no
Can I play the game and still enjoy it? Yes
Infact having left the cars with their normal engines alone for a month has made them all but brand new again. I am not bored of the normal cars at all.
See the funniest part about them patching this is the people raging off like a child because they can't have what they want. It is quite amusing to me actually. People blaming the patch on random things. The point stands...
It is against the Sony and PD's TOS. Consider yourself lucky they haven't banned you from logging into PSN or accessing GT5 online features. Which they most certainly could have done and still could do. Have fun and enjoy it.
