Muscle car performance after anniversary patch

[hyperdoughnut]

So what do you guys think about the performance of our beloved cars after the patch?

The changes affecting this are....
- removal of steering limiter (but no change in turning radius)
- reduction of body roll
- balancing of nos output (now based on car hp supposedly)

So far, overall, I am "ok" with the affect these changes have made to the muscle cars. It will just take some adjustment to get used to it.


Pontiac GTO
I notice the less body roll, making it maybe a little less fun to drive. Nos output seems the same.

Dodge Charger R/T
Not sure about this one, seems more or less the same to me. Nos output seems the same.

Dodge Challenger
It does not seem to "float" so badly now, I think I will start using it more. The body roll is toned down but still there. Nos output seems the same.

Dodge Charger SRT8
About the same overall to me, needs more testing.

Chevrolet Corvette
Seems as though handling is better and did not have much body roll, if any, to begin with. Nos output seems the same.

Dodge Viper
Ok, this one I am not as happy with. The reduction in body roll has exposed an odd "weight" in the back similar to the Audi R8 which is more annoying to deal with when cornering. Hopefully, I can learn to deal with it and continue to enjoy the car.

On a side note, this is now available for in-game cash but unlocks at level 40 for 1.2 million which is absurd. It should have been the same as the vette, level 35 for 800k, but oh well that is EA/BB for you.

Ford GT
Don't know as I do not own this car yet.

I think I may get on there and test a little tonight or in the morning. Heh... may even get a Vette next week.

Yeah I dunno about the body roll situation. I think you are right it has actually improved the challenger, but that just shows how bad that car was.

I just didn't have the same awesome feeling I usually do driving my beloved GTO around tho.

Speed and stuff seem ok, I felt I was a bit slower on the start but that was only over a couple of races so I can't say for sure about that yet.


All in all, I'm very unsure about the changes so far. I'm just glad I hadn't put my heart and soul into my silvia, even though it has a few nice parts that would maybe be better elsewhere now.

I think endgame left the game in disgust and posted a thread on the NFSW forums so I know he's not happy.
