📋 About This Mod
This is a mod I had in mind for a while now that attempts to solve 2 issues I have with most if not all cars in Cyberpunk 2077:
1. The cars feel too drifty at all times
2. The cars feel too slow for their looks and possibly very inaccurate with their attached lore (namely the Rayfield Aerondight.)
NOTICE: I would not recommend using this mod if you have a low end PC that barely meets minimum requirements to play Cyberpunk 2077 as some cars have been changed to go much faster, causing the game to load more areas more quickly which can be very taxing on lower end hardware!
Additional note: It's been over 2 years since I've updated this mod and haven't done anything since (sorry!) mainly because of real life hitting me like a semi truck for said past 2 years. If you want to make your own tweaks for the newer cars added into the game since the last update for this mod, look into the TweakDB within Cyber Engine Tweaks. You can duplicate any of the already made tweaks from my mod and copy in the new values for each vehicle and tweak them as needed.
Big thanks to ctxrlsec's standalone car mods for helping me understand more how .yaml tweaks work
Another big thanks to Cyber Engine Tweaks for their TweakDB browser. If this didn't exist, a lot of mods wouldn't exist, let alone mine.
FAQ:
Q: "Does this affect (mod vehicle)?"
A: No, this mod only tweaks the vanilla game cars that the player can own.
Q: "Does this mod conflict with other car performance mods?"
A: Most likely. This mod will conflict with Cyber Vehicle Overhaul as both JBC (this mod) and CVO will attempt to alter the same values for each vehicle. However there are some vehicle mods that can work alongside this one like Authentic Shift and Car Modification Shop.
Known issues:
- Some users might get a CTD when launching the game. If you do, please troubleshoot Red4ext before posting a comment or bug report. I doubt that the crashing is in my control. If anything, make sure your core mods are updated to their latest versions. If you still encounter crashing, ask for help in the Cyberpunk Modding Community Discord. There are more knowledgeable folks that can help with this issue better than I can.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 387 endorsements and nearly 20k downloads
- Simple performance boost that makes driving feel better
- Last updated December 2024, so it's fresh and likely compatible with current game versions
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects player-owned cars, not vehicles you find or buy
- No detailed changelog or feature list, so you don't know exactly what's tweaked
- May not be compatible with other vehicle overhaul mods that change the same stats
For 7 Days to Die players who find the default car handling clunky and want a quick, no-fuss improvement. If you're a purist who wants to tweak every stat yourself, this might be too simple, but for most survivors it's a solid quality-of-life upgrade.
