I can understand removing chassis swaps as a whole, since most of them were ridiculous. There were only 1-2 realistic matches for each car, since the weight and aerodynamics were too intertwined with the chassis code. I can also see removing HPmulti, Grip, and weight mods, to a certain degree. As 1400HP+ cars do exist in real life, and drag tires can definitely change a 1/4 mile launch drastically. Side note: GT5's creator does not consider drag racing a motor sport. I say give the fans what they want. I have never signed in without seeing at least one drag only room.
But when I found out my engine/tranny swaps had reset, a small part of GT died to me. :n: I had checked each swap carefully to see that it can, and HAD been done in real life. I probably spent 10-15 hours researching to build some of my dream cars. Nissan 300Z with a Chevy '04 Z06 LS6 and it's tremac-6 speedFord Mustang GT Premium with a 4.6 stroked to 5.4 from a FORD GT '06The list goes on. They couldn't beat everything, but I loved each one individually.
It was something the GT5 programmers couldn't do, given their time frame and the ridiculous amount of cars in the game. Man of which are copies with different bodies. And MOST of which, I have NO interest in driving.
Also, why remove wing and ground effect deletes? It just adds dimension to what you could see on the road. No performance gain whatsoever. There should have been much more customization anyway.
You know who does offer engine swaps and more customization options? GT5's main competitor, FORZA on XBOX360.
I'm not suggesting anyone give up GT forever, but we need to let SONY know what we want as consumers. Or else every GT will be an update of the SAME game.

Yea, sadly, you're lucky for them to tell you anything about...well anything, that's also something that urks me with PD, they leave you in the dark with everything :n:
