You probably noticed how all the Team Forza cars are capped at the limits of certain devision groups (or PI classes) in career mode so you would think these cars are about the best you can get in that series. Well today I bought a Nissan 350z and upgraded it to 500 PI as well, which is where the Team Forza version is at. I noticed its horsepower and torque are significantly higher than the Team Forza version and the weight is even lower too! I didn’t come to taking both on a testdrive but I would think the upgraded dealership car will perform better. I wonder where the Team Forza version wasted all those PI points, sure it can’t be the spoiler.
There’s more to a car’s performance than horsepower/torque and weight. Those Team Forza cars tend to upgrade the handling, braking and stability before upping the horsepower. However, I would just personally buy the stock non-upgraded car and the first thing you upgrade is to race tires and race weight! Power is usually the last thing you want to upgrade unless it’s either drag racing or tracks like Monza or Indy Oval.
Hmm perhaps, the way I upgraded the car to 500 PI was just by the quick upgrade, I haven’t been using only power upgrades, so it’s still weird. Turn 10 probably “handtailored” the Team Forza cars. I’ll do a testdrive with both versions tonight and see how that goes.
I did another test and bought a second Impreza 22B STI as well (it’s my starter car) and I did a quick upgrade to that car as well and it got the exact same stats as my starter 22B STI.
They’re all rubbish lol, unless you like the livery alot I’d get rid of them, removed all mine from the moment it was in my garage xD building it myself was so much better.
TBH I like them, they drive like they’ve actually been tuned by someone who knows what they are doing, in previous Forzas it seemed like they’d just thrown a load of upgrades on and not tuned them, they were truly horrible to drive.
