About time the Plymouth Superbird was back in rotation. I've been wanting to buy another for a Hellcat engine swap. I'll probably buy three more considering how long I've had to wait for it to show up again.
I did this engine swap and the car became a total disaster.

I bought it also. But what is the point of swapping the motor ? It is smaller and less powerful. Are there other benefits ?

The Hellcat motor is smaller but way more powerful than the one the car comes with, which should be either a 426 Hemi or a 440. Hellcat motor would be at least 200HP above either of those.

Not stock, I checked and swapping lower the HP of the car.

I don't know what it is you checked, but the Plymouth Superbird has 425hp as standard and the Charger SRT Hellcat has 707hp as standard. The Hellcat-swapped Superbird has, unsurprisingly, 707hp:

That is exactly what happened when I put a new engine to the C3 Corvette. It has insane acceleration, but everything else is just trash.

Because if that, I'm afraid to modify the Superbird, which BTW, I finally bought yesterday. Maybe I'll just buy another one and experiment with one and leave intact the 2nd one.
 
Well, in that case, I won't be doing that swap! What happens to it?
Go ahead ,do the swap,it's very stable,952HP, weight 2515lbs,ran a 4:48 at Route X,took it to Daytona, 39.19.(didn't change anything)
This is just a base set-up that works for cars that are deemed unstable at high speeds,hasn't failed me yet.
RS tires
Max out: Height -anti RB -compression - expansion -frequency
Camber 3.0 - 3.0
Toe angle... out 0.40 in 0.40
Downforce -zero(for this car, you may need/want DF on other cars)
top speed 350kph
That's it, then you can adjust as needed.
I just put this set-up on this car and it works good,but the rear end hops a little on the corners at Route X,adjustment might be needed there,:dopey:
 
I engine swapped the S13 Silvia and it's a total disaster. Well, its not 100% a disaster. If you detune the ECU and power restrictor to 70 it becomes somewhat usable. It still spins the tires well above 100 mph so you have to stretch the gearing to over 300mph top speed.

Interesting. Might have to give that a bash! Although I hate max ride height from a visual perspective...

Like i mentioned,it's just a base setup,try it then just start lowering the height to your liking or it becomes unstable.
Go down the list and you can adjust/lower each one and you might go faster but keeping it stable is priority one.
I hit top speed of 375kph at Daytona and your on the edge of yer seat a lil bit,:lol:
 
@Eggstor

I hope you're ok with being a little bit misused as my personal GT7 garage wiki - your knowledge regarding UCD and LCD is simply unbelievable.
I'm waiting for the Z432 '70, the F1 GTR K. K. '95 and the Barker T. '29 to reappear at the LCD. What's your estimation ?
Let me thank you big time in advance ... 👍
 
After getting the 787B I think I am done in Hagerty for a while until a few of the cars appear on my Cafe Menu lists, just going to happily grind away, maybe go play some RDR2 or something else. My short GT7 life is very satisfied now that the 787B and Escudo are in my stable, they are just so fun to drive!
 
What's funny is that I wanted the Escudo for months and it never came up. Now that it's back, I bought and I've never driven it. It's just collecting dust in the garage. Funny how that works.

I only bought it because of its Gran Turismo 2 mememobile status. It’s not that useful otherwise.
 
No problem here. Can you post a picture?
I've just switched off now, but basically in the LCD where I've got blue book icons on every car, or grey if I don't have it, there's literally just an empty space on the F40. I'll have another look tomorrow to see if it's still the same. Weird.

For info, I already have two F40s, so it's not that it's showing grey. It just doesn't have an icon at all.

Why does the F40 not have a car collection icon next to it in the LCD at the moment? Is that a bug??

Maybe we get Pikes Peak this month. Would be the best time. If we won't see the Escudo again, until next year. ;)
Do you live here in this world? I would really like you to be right, but you must put your feet on the ground )) Not even in June when there will be a new race. If it comes, it must be for PS6 and then yes, I'll buy one.

weird takes, considering it's the #1 best way to grind money on 2 different tracks.

Jimini cric-KET! Post is supposed to be in the April prediction thread. Lord, have us mercy...
 
Very odd. Because that is exactly what I was expecting to see but there was just nothing. I'll have another look tonight, but it'll probably just be fine. Maybe a random glitch?
Could be, I would advise you to check your garage to make sure the F40 is still there, I did havev a moment once where a car disappeared from the garage because I had an internet disconnect when I completed the purchase but if it's still showing as gray I'd post a shot of it in your garage and the LCD like Famine posted then maybe we can figure it out.
