This was another enjoyable engine swap. Either PD made some adjustments to how these cars handle their new engines or some engine swaps are just meant to turn the cars in to ballistic missles with no way of controlling them. Anyway, this is a good swap. I really don't know if this would be faster in this race than a fully decked out version of this car with its original engine, but with the swap you hit 195 on the straight and have some good handling once you do all the weight reduction, body stiffening and play with the suspension. Surprisingly, it doesn't have a ton of acceleration. There's no real easy way to just punch it out of a corner and pass the AI. You have to wait a bit for the car to build up speed.
I think it's a worth while swap. Considering there is an "evo" version of this exact same car, I have no hesitations swapping this one and tuning the other's stock engine.
