I had the ingenius brainwave to see how much HP you could shove into a factory FWD car in Fourtza.

Turns out, 925 HP is the best you can manage. Several of the FWD Fords accept the GT500 DSC V8, which when modded churns out 925 HP and 700+ torques.

Coupled with FWD, that means wheelspin at 225 mph on the Mulsanne straight.

Pro-Tip: If you tune the race-diff to 100% lockup on acceleration, the cars become even more crazy hard to drive.

I used to do this for fun. I thin the Aveo also has a V8 option.

The Spark does not have a V8 option, or if it does it wasn't really that over-powered.

I was initially looking to get over 1000 HP to the fronts.

I can't remember which car it is. Maybe the Cobalt.. But even then I think it was only 900

I've been screwing around with the handling characteristics in GTA4 lately, and I've made it so the Prius spins the tires in all gears and you literally can't turn while you're on the throttle. I'm not sure exactly how fast it is, but it'll destroy any of the supercars in a drag race. I also gave it the engine noise from the Infernus, so it spits flames out the exhaust.

A FWD powered car with a GT500 engine? This sounds more realistic than when I did a stage 3 turbo on a mitsubishi i-miev in Gran Turismo 4

Only slightly, but it's still a game, and games are supposed to be about having fun.

Cobalt is only 700-something.

The Ford options are the best. I've tried everything already.

NO, its REAL LIFE

Don't you dare try to tell me I can't do a turbo swap on a i-miev so I can hit 224mph. Thats the only reason I'd buy one of those POS's.

That's fantastic.

Going to do that this week probably.

Also fun, fastest hybrid type vehicle.

I've got a VERY fast Chevy Volt in my garage....

I have a B-Class Leaf that will give anything a run for the money, provided it's a short, twisty track. I once beat everyone in B-class in an ABC'S hopper with it around Silverstone National.

I will try and tune the other "green" cars and see where they fall.

The Tesla is amazing in A-class. I routinely obliterate my buddies with it. Instant torque is a wonderful thing.

I wish driving sims would simulate torque steer if you have a ffb wheel.

I got the Volt all the way up in S class, I don't know how competitive it is though. I built it and then I got distracted and haven't really enjoyed it. Tesla I'm guessing is a DLC?

Yeah, Launch Day maybe? Not really sure, I got the LCE, and have all but 2 cars.

Should you want it, it's really very good once it's tuned.

Well, I actually just let my XBOX Live membership die. So I doubt I'll invest in it.

I just don't play enough, specifically don't play online enough to justify it anymore

I have had many sads about it though

I am pretty sure you can still buy things from the XBL marketplace without a Gold account.

I'm sure I can, just savings all the pennies right now.

GT4 didn't have engine swaps like Forza, just tuning, but I remember getting a V8 Taurus SHO well into the three hundreds. It was impossible to drive.

I'm going to do this later on today. What Ford did you use? I'm thinking I might use the Ka...

04/15/2014 at 15:22

Not sure the Ka has that engine swap available. The SVT and ST Foci can both be swapped. I used the Focus ST.

04/15/2014 at 22:55

I ended up using the Focus SVT. It spun the front left tire all the way up to 172 in 6th where it hit redline. The gears were as long as they can go too. It's a fun car, but you can't turn when you're on the gas.:P

Also, I use this list:

http://www.pez2k.net/temp/forza4.ht…

Which has the drivetrain, engine, and aspiration swaps for every single car.

Race transmission? You should be able to get more than 172 out of it. The ST hits 225 with the final ratio lowered all the way. I might fiddle with it and try to get a little more out of it.

Yup. Didn't mess with it to much though.
