If Mercedes-Benz SL 73 AMG was in Gran Turismo 4 [Hybrid Mod]

Polyphony Digital left out the coolest AMG model from Gran Turismo 4. I wanted to correct that injustice and mod it into the game with the help of some GameShark codes.
(This video is captured from a real PS2 console so that's why it isn't in native HD quality. I upscaled it from 640x448 resolution.)

Notes about the mod:
• The engine is swapped from a Pagani Zonda C12S 7.3 because that is the exact same Mercedes M120 engine a real-life SL 73 AMG uses.

• The only way to get this car in this game is by purchasing it from a used car dealership. I restored its performance by doing an oil change and a rigidity refresher plan.

• I chose wheels that resemble AMG wheels the most. The wheel size is correct with racing tyres but unfortunately with sports tyres they are too small. I had racing tyres equipped in the garage view but during races I used sports tyres to avoid making the car OP. I tested wheels from an SL 65 AMG but even the sports wheels were slightly too big and they made the car look like a ricer. Because of that I decided to leave the wheels unmodified.

• Usually SL 73 AMGs are black or silver but it is proven that there is at least one Polar Weiss specimen:    • SL 73 SOUND   (Which is great because I couldn't pick the color of the car in this game because it was sold only as a used car and the color was random. So the color option is rare but not inaccurate and that is a good thing for this mod showcase video.)

• I swapped the gearbox from an SL 500 (R230) because that is the most realistic late 90s/early 2000s Mercedes gearbox in this game; a five speed gearbox with seamless gear changes.

• Exhaust pipe, brakes and suspension have been upgraded to simulate real-life AMG upgrades.

• 21kg weight ballast was added to match the weight of the SL 73 AMG which is 2050kg. The car's balance was good already so I added the ballast to dead center to avoid causing any handling issues.

• The SL 73 AMG badge in the garage is a video editing trick. I cut the letters SL and AMG from the SL 65 AMG's badge and wrote number 73 with a font called Serpentine. I edited it in because I thought it would be a nice little addition to the video.
