Performance level cap

I was wondering if the team had any plans to increase the performance cap on some more cars. It's a tad annoying that drift and race icons like the S13/15, 350z, R32/34, gt86, old Nsx, MX5 etc can't be highly tuned or super builds.

There's no cap on derlicts or abandoned which is cool, the volvo 212 and 240z are great but even maxed to 300 the S13 really struggles in drift spec. Also just defeats using it for multiplayer because it's just so outclassed trying chase down a maxed out Lambo.

  • I often said this too but there are a dozens of players who disagree with this.
    The real fact is this: WE WANT TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THE CARS THAT WE PREFER TO BE, NOT IN THE CAR WE ARE FORCED TO BE COMPETITIVE!!


    For example: I would love to go fast in the BMW M3 E46 rather than in an Nazi VW Beetle lol.
  • they are an intentional development option forcing drift cars in the drift race. and this is very annoying.

    I also don't like how the score multiplier is based on your race position, although even from last place i can still rank in or near the top 3 with my mad skids. The problem i find with it is that it just encourages dirty play because people will instantly smash you off the line and then speed off in some supercar.  

    Point is, you should be drifting not racing, got enough events already for that. I'd rather be going for style points not speed when drifting tbh...

    For what? In speedlist multiplayer you can only use drift specs for drift events.

    No i mean in drift speedlist events you get score multiplier based on your grid position in the race. So the guy up front gets 2x bonus, 2nd gets 1.8x etc etc...

    So if you are up front in the drift race you get more score for doing half the work, so what's the point in even drifting in these events... just drive fast... that's not how drift speedlists should work.

  • Agreed, I hate the 299 cap, if the derelicts can reach 399, so should the rest of the cars.

    Yeah hopefully it gets addressed in a future patch. I'm having trouble believing i can tune a VW beetle higher than an S15 haha
