I want to recreate Petty's Superbird.

[ecurb12]

Basically I want my Superbird to have the feel of a 1970's Nascar

What does GT Planet reccomend for the specs

Big car with a small v8. NASCAR hampered what they called "aero advantage" cars back then.
If I'm not mistaken Petty only finished 4th in points driving the Superbird in '70.

Funny how old school 70's NASCAR is similar to imports from today; big fins and additional plastic molding does not make your car faster.

The Superbirds were the first NASCAR's to break 200 mph. Their aerowork definitely made them faster.

As @spsajewski points out, the Superbird was incredibly fast on the oval and they were very aerodynamic compared to many of the cars of the day. They nerfed the cars with smaller engines and more weight to eliminate that advantage and in the process made them uncompetitive.

I'm more so looking for approximate specs that I can enter in the game to give it a nascar feel, I'm not very good with tuning myself

 

[saidaouita]

My mistake - It was '71 a year later they really slowed the Superbird down.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Superbird
From Wiki=
" NASCAR's rules implemented for the 1971 season limited the "aero-cars" to an engine displacement of no greater than 305 cu in (5.00 l) or they had to carry much more weight compared to their competitors. While they were still legal to race, the power-to-weight consequences that would come with the smaller engine or the increased weight rendered the cars uncompetitive. This was the start of a trend of rules slowing down NASCAR, because the races were exceeding the technology of tires and safety over 200 mph (320 km/h). "

Has a lot of power when going around corners so try not to go full throttle until you are straight. Can go 200 mph without a draft on Daytona.

Much appreciated DaBomm I look forward to racing with this tune

Now if only we had graphics customization like in forza I could make it look just like the STP car from 1970

Can you please make a tune for daytona 560pp Racing Softs?

I have a few other tunes I am working on right now but I can try to work on one after I finish working on my current projects. If you want to try my most up to date tune for the Superbird, it is at 535pp located here. This tune is also the closest to being real life accurate because it was based off of the tune I worked on in this thread.

 

[SPENCEINATOR]

We drive daytona oval and there is the Transmission very important, when you can give me a Transmission for 560pp where thats a Big thing for me.

Thank you for the fast answer!

Notes: Tune requested by @SPENCEINATOR at Daytona.

I am open to feedback to make your experience of my tunes better.

 

[SPENCEINATOR]

Many Thanks! Which car you can still recommend at 560pp RS in Daytona?

 

[DaBomm4]

I would suggest the one I posted here first since I brought it up to the specs and tested on Daytona. I don't run Daytona much so I am not sure what a good time is but it felt like a decent time to me.

 

[killerjimbag]

Uhmm I have a very fast one at 585 PP 834 HP mid 43. second laps very fast. Need a partner for draft.Car was a pig in GT5, very fast now.

 

[killerjimbag]

Oh boy this is stupid fast,just putting some finishing touches.
WOW.
