Original Model Purchased From De Espona (http://www.deespona.com/3denciclopedia/menu.html)
Model Converting, Model Editing, texture editing, and Vice City Mod Created By Switch Designs

=============

This mod will change your Cheetah into a Dragster.

=============

You must have dmagics wheel mod for Vice City.

=============

I would also like to add that the models created by De Espona are converted into LOCKED DFF files and can/should never be reopened again. So use of these models in other applications is impossible/not allowed. If you like these models and would like to use them for other applications then you may purchase them from the De Espona 3d model enciclopedia (www.deespona.com)

=============

BACK UP YOUR FILES !!!

This mod will replace your cheetah.txd and cheetah.dff in your gta3.img file located in your C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\models folder. It will change info in your default.ide and your handling.cfg files located in your C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\data folder and will also replace your cheetah.col file in your vehicles.col file located in your C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\models\coll folder. So back up thoes files first incase you wish to revert back to the original Cheetah without reinstalling your game. Also make sure your C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\ folder and all of it's files within are not set to read only, if they are gta img edit programs will not work and you will not be able to edit any file in that folder.

=============

To Install: 

=============

First: Open your gta3.img file in your C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\models folder with a gta img editor.

Then delete cheetah.txd and cheetah.dff.
Then click add and add in the new cheetah.txd and then add in the new cheetah.dff.

(Always delete and add instead of replace when changing dff's and txd's with any img edit program.)
