So I made one! Like many of us here, my car wasn't a Skyline so it wasn't included in GT6. I took a 1970 Dodge Charger 440 R/T and made it as close as I could to my 1969 Chrysler Newport.

The first thing I did was add weight. A lot of it. Adding 200kg of ballast brought me nearly within the curb weight of my Chrysler though technically it's still 50kg too light.

Then I reduced the Charger's 375 horsepower to 290 which is what my 383 makes.

The Charger came with a four-speed so I made a custom 5-speed transmission to match the exact gear ratios of my three-speed automatic. There are just two useless gears I don't use now haha

I also softened the suspension and deleted the rear anti-roll bar so it wallows as my Chrysler does.

Lastly, I painted it the correct shade of turquoise which is available in the game and added some silver hubcaps to cap it all off.

It's so fun to drive! It rolls everywhere just like my Chrysler and it's a ton of fun. Anyone else 'build' their own car on GT6?

Well I took my car and made it have 744hp and absurd amounts of torque...

kind of. I took a Camaro I already had in the game, painted it the right shade of grey, put the stock wheels back on, and added the closest spoiler I could. It does have about 50 more hp, and better tires and suspension than my car, but they at least look similar.

Ok- I'm either tired or growing dsylexic.A quick glance of the headline+ I thought you wanted to drive your GT-6 in Newport.

I'm making my W140 S600 once.

It's simply took an SL600 W140 and put a bit more weight and add some structural integrity.

I think you could 'build' one from an MR2

Hmm... that would be interesting though itd be missing the V6 aspect... I guess I could try that.
