this game would be even better if you were able to do engine swaps. Such as dropping a k20a in a civic, or an ls2 in a camero, and so on.

I think it be cool if you could do a SR20DET swap into a AE86 or a RB26DETT into a 240sx or S15. I think there is alot more possibilities but i agree. If used in the right way it would be alot more fun

k20C into a AE86 would be the sweetest thing to ride.

Yes. That is a great idea! 👍
Another idea: Drivetrain swaps. Yesss. I can picture it now a Honda Accord station wagon with a TVR v12 powerplant and converted to 4WD. That'd be sweet. Because honestly, any FF would be far better off as 4WD. 💡 💡 💡

Don't think that drivetrain conversions would happen. I think if they do it they should stick to realistic swaps. Small block Chevy in a Miata, or the aforementioned RB26DETT into a 240sx.

A new and revolutionary tuning option
The craziest idea there was an old Mini with a mid-mounted Viper engine and 4WD.

Yeah...
Personally I liked the Ford Focus V8. The idea sounds farfetched, but I still think it's a good idea for a future GT.

Where does the driver sit? On the roof?

It's been done, a Focus Unibody hacked up to fit over a Mustang Chassis. Saw it at the New York auto show a couple years back. I think they had to move the dashboard back a bit and the driver was sitting practically in the rear seats. Theres also the Dodge Caravan with the Viper V-10 and rear wheel drive.

I've seen a Porsche 3.6 engine mid mounted in an old Mini, basically the driver sat where he was and the engine was a where the rear seats were or therabouts. That one was just rwd I think.
As for Speed 12 engines Accord, not going to happen, the Speed 12 engine probably wouldn't fit much, it's huge with a capital H, so it's Huge.

Yeah it would be nice but I wouldnt like the silly ones like Speed 12 engine in a mini or anything like that. I would like to be able to put a SR20DET in a 510 or 910 Bluebird like I have done a few times in real life, its those sorts of swaps Im interested in.
Is that even physically possible? But yea, I think even PD would draw lines on what you can swap based on not only things like licenses, but on physical limitations as well. You also know car companies, their so anal about everything. They might not like their precious works of art in another chassis. Though they may allow you to exchange engines between different manufactures, who knows. I'm just speculating for now. That seemed to be the case with "Automodellista", you were only allowed to exchange engines bewteen cars of a specific manufacturer.
ex: RB26DETT into a Silvia....yes
RB26DETT into a Supra...no

One of the coolest swaps I've seen was an Infiniti Q45 V-8 swapped into a '70 Datsun 240z. They modded the motor like crazy though, twin turbo and a massive intercooler. The car looked awesome, except for they installed massive 18" chrome wheels. The poor Z looked like a steamroller! Anyways, maybe it would be sweet if they allowed swapping among a manufacturers various cars, but in order to do it, you had to buy both cars, the one you source from, and the destination vehicle. They could add a GT junkyard for sourcing all kinds of different parts! Probably a little too ambitious...

Lexus V8 or 3SGTE into an AE86 is where it's at. Or a Lexus V8 in an AW11 MR2 (yes, it fits). There's a racing team here who last year had an AE101 Levin with a Supra engine and presumably a RWD conversion, its only competition was an ex V8 Supercars Commodore and a GT3 Porsche. This season they're running a Ford Focus with a 4 Litre XR6 Turbo engine in the same class.
I think a V8 into a 240z is butchery, people should have respect for a classic. Chrome 18"s is horrible too, what a waste of one of my favourite cars.
If GT5 is to have conversions they have to be realistic, a V12 in a 4WD Honda wagon is stupid.

I have seen a Fiat 500 (you know that small car from the "60's) with a Honda engine (I believe it's from an EG) mounted in the place where normally the small engine is. That would be a crazy fast car! Most of the weight is the engine, and that engine would at least manage to cranck out 160HP! Imagine! At least 160HP on 500kg! After tuning over 250HP O_O" That would be awesome!

LS1 in a 3rd gen RX-7. Reliablity, power, fuel economy, AND better weight distribution? Oh yeah!

Westfield did the Rover V8 engined Seight.
Here is a clip of a V8 240z.

It does like to put the rubber down and sounds cool when it does

Super Cirrus, I'm guessing you've already checked out the latest issue of Sport Compact Car, but if you haven't get it! I'm putting my money on that LS-1 powered RX-7 to win all the performance categories.

You might, if it was a 2.0 litre V-12. They could use thimbles for cylinders!
