Hopefully the 2 Ford swaps will have a decent top speed,for Tokyo anyway.A lot of the rally cars dont seem to have much of a top speed,I know 180mph is fast but a little bit more is always nice. :)
Regarding the collectores menu book,I recently sold my Pug T16 as I never used it.Have to wait for it to appear again.Doh1

Kazunori proves once again that he's completely out of touch. Well, the Peugeot is kinda cool I guess, but man is this game dying or what?
It’s been on life support for a long time.
It’s normal in the games Industry that the team moved on to the next title because that makes more $ than free updates.
I have no problem with that. But I do have a problem with the claims early on in GT7s life that it will be a “platform”, have many updates etc. yes there were many free updates but most content was available before albeit In lesser quality.
The only true novel GT7 content for me was the VR mode, which is amazing. I play very little non VR, the online mode isn’t exactly fun, see we stay and challenging and often dirty. The single player gets stale also.
I’m sure many get use out of the game but its same old at this point.I consider it a Nurburgring lapping game for the most part now, but that’s just me.

I like the ford engine swaps but some of these are so uninspired. Unless i’m mistaken we already have the subaru rally car based on the 22b, so what does this engine swap add?
I honestly thought the swaps should have been added before the actual rally car was added (this means using FA20 Gr.B or EJ20 GT300 engine though), but here we are. Still looking forward for the EJ20 WRC being swaps for the GD Blobeye, which got 992's DKH instead.

EDIT: These engines are also all race engines which also mean fuel buff.

What s the isuee with the controller?
The game artificially limits the steering angle, it's worst on banked corners so somewhere like the carousel on the Nurburgring the car barely wants to turn and you're giving up at least half a second to the wheels.

I guess better fuel economy with the race car engines.

Down side is the RS 500 will have better fuel economy than the other GR.A road cars w/o swaps. It'll be good versus the Alfa 155 though.

That Mazda Demio swap should be awesome.

I'd say the questionable one is the Swift. As if that car needs to be any more of a weapon in GR.4 guise. Now it's just going to be nuclear. 😂

Can't wait to try this stuff out in a few hours.
 
Ok the group 3 for the Swift isn’t bad!
I do welcome a swap for the Swift as well, but I am not at all a fan of the dual-Hayabusa twin turbo engine from the Suzuki VGT Gr.3. This engine has a very uneven power output with a big torque peak in the middle of its rev range. This means that when you want to accelerate out of a corner you get all the torque and break traction on the driven axle. Then when you rev the engine out on the straights you don't get much power.

That said, if you treat the engine according to the rev counter in the Swift and thus only rev it up to the 8k rpm the Swift indicates, your peak torque suddenly is at the top of the rev range, which is much more driveable. Nonetheless, the stock i4 Hayabusa engine is available from the Suzuki VGT road car. Unfortunately they don't use it for swaps anywhere. It would be great in e.g. the Cappuccino.

Suzuki VGT engine have hybrid system, maybe that's why PD don't add that swap yet. Maybe because it's too fiddly for them

Yes I’ve tried to manage this with adjusting the transmission but not got it down yet. Still, laps faster than my TVR around Brands Hatch
 
@tankuroded What do you mean by fuel buff? I assume you mean they are more economic,yes? If so thats good for the grind races.
Racing engines have higher fuel economy/tank, yes.

Not just that, non-group VGT engines - like the Suzuki VGT's - generally do not have any tuning options.

They could leave the electric part out and just use it as the as-is Hayabusa engine. Would definitely be enough for the tiny Cappuccino. 62 hp stock vs 173 hp swapped without any hybrid tech.

Yeah, this is an issue. I guess one could make the VGT Gr.3 engine more drivable if there were options to change the turbos.
