P-51 'Voodoo' Raceplane

[wintry wing]

The P-51 Voodoo is a modded raceplane that has an increased speed of around 530mph. In-game, it could have similar maneuverability and stall speed stats as the regular p-51, except that it trades speed for range. It could also be a convertible, like the f-2g super corsair. The main reason this should be added is that there are few to none single-engines that can hit speeds of ~550 mph. Also, this could easily fit in like how we got the f-2g super corsair, which is a race variant of the f-4, which adds reason for the voodoo to be implemented.

Would have the same stats as the regular p-51, just trading the extra 50mph for ~10nm of range

Pros: Fits into the game well and would be one of the only single-engines to go past 500mph

Cons: None really development wise, just add some exhaust pipes to the p-51 and modify it's stats for it.

it could be a craftable

[wintry wing]

ehh, its stats would be too close to the original for it to be worth crafting

more like how the f-2g works compared to the f-4

481 knots

Also this has a lot of changes from standard P-51

New engine, new canopy, likely clipped wings and stabilizers as well

I love air racers but I don’t image these happenings aero wise

Since it would also require a P-51D to be modeled

holy shit evangelion plane

Doubt much remains of the P-51D

[short zenith]

Most is actually just P-51D for voodoo and the others

Engine is still the same, just prepared for racing

of course the canopy is different as well as the tail plus the shortened wings

But it still is a mustang
