550pp competitive muscle car

[lozzy1234567890]

Is there a proper muscle car (like chargers and superbirds, not vipers and modern corvettes) that can be tuned to be actually competitive with italias, GTRs, etc at 550pp?

Race modded ones maybe.

Old muscle cars versus modern day supercars? lol....

The newly refined muscle cars like the ZL1 Camaro, Mustang Boss 302, etc, can keep up and beat some of the finer machines on the market, but to ask a Plymouth Superbird to beat a 458 Italia is a....tall order. You're asking too much, I'm afraid.

A race modded classic is another story. That's feasible!

2010 Camaro has some good potential at that PP...
Goes to show how desperately we need a NEW Mustang,,

Yeah kind of a useless question to be honest

I would like know which muscle car is the best though. Right now my money is on the '70 Chevelle.

I know its a bit of a request, but is there anything that can do it? MotorTrendMitch, I'm not really looking for a modern muscle, more old school.

I'm going to say no.. the competitor would have to (agree to) compete at your weight level, because those old muscle cars can't be weight reduced enough (in gt5).. Research power to weight ratios and find out what car(s) you want to be competing against and figure out the p/w for each of them.

It is a completely valid question as the PP system should penalize new cars for their advantages. In practice it doesn't, but that is not the OPs fault.

The best car would be the '69 camaro. Race mod it and find yourself a really good tune like I did and you'll destroy the likes of GTR's in it's power class... 600 PP. I left a GTR R35 TC standing at the line on nurburgring and finished about 15 seconds in front of him.

 

[RoadRocket77]

P.S. The camaro comes in at a lean 1065 KG after race modding. have fun!

I've done it on Nurburgring and won with the Dodge Challenger Premium. To be honest, however, I was playing with 8 year olds...

Go to Clueless Tunes in the tuning forum. They have alot of classic muscle tuned to 550pp 👍

This, or the race modified '70 Challenger. It's heavier than the Camaro, but packs more power.

Based purely on the dimensions of the car, I'd guess the '71 Hemi Cuda might give you the best chance. No idea for sure though.

That's the next one on my to do list. I'm surprised how much they improved the old classics compared to previous GT games. GT4 muscle cars just plain sucked.

The Shelby GT350 isn't bad, but you might not want to give it too much power as it become more than a handful. I'll go check on it again as I do drive the '71 Charger and the Super Bee, oh yes the Plymouth Superbird all handle pretty good for such big old boats. Key word being boats, keep that in mind and you'll do just fine. I have to no go and tune every old school muscle car I own because of your thread, ah the things the community gets me to do just by coming here and reading threads.

The Mercury XR7. In various states of tune it handles divinely (weight reduction knocks it down to around 1250kg if I recall correctly, which helps), with more than enough power to keep up withe the modern stuff.

Recommended. 👍
