I was upgrading the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and I noticed when you go to upgrade the turbos upgrading the turbos actually takes off horse power the stock turbo is making more power than the race turbos does

Just came to post the same thing. Installing a turbo and its upgrades seems to do the opposite of what it’s supposed to.
Doesn’t the turbo replace the stock supercharger… couldn’t that reduce HP?
Yep, that´s the case. The Camaro has an enormous supercharger that gets taken out when you put the turbos in, thus it looses HP.
Really when you upgrade the TT it should give off more power… Superchargers rarely make as much high end as Turbos.
That’s what I thought at first, too, but when I looked at the upgrades, they continually decreased the car’s stats.
Street TT: S2 915 815hp 714tq
Sport TT: S2 910 788hp 673tq
Race TT: S2 906 738hp 647tq
I know this isn’t the same topic but why didn’t the Camaro ZL1 get the wide body kit like in Forza Motorsport 7 I loved that kit it looked so good so why did they not put it in game.
That is strange…maybe the coding is backwards
Edit: curious to know if the sound clips also reflect this (ie: the street being louder with a harder blow-off that the race)
Maybe that’s why top fuel dragsters run super chargers and not turbos.

No.
Turbos (and centrifugal superchargers for that matter) are banned in Top Fuel drag racing.
Superchargers draw power from the engine via the crankshaft and it’s estimated in a Top Fuel drag car, the supercharger drains about 1000hp alone from the engine.
‘Funny Cars are powered by the same supercharged and fuel-injected 500-inch engines as Top Fuel dragsters. Funny Cars are also similar to Top Fuel dragsters in that they do not use a transmission but rather transmit power to the huge Goodyear rear slicks through a multistage clutch assembly that is activated by timers.’
Not the same?
