Take a car with weird gear ratios (such as an old muscle car, or any muscle car for that matter)
Buy the race gearbox upgrade
Tune the gearing to your liking
Put back the original gearbox (or simply one with a lower PI)
???
Profit!
Spoiler : the game doesn’t reset tuning setups when changing parts.
This also means that when buying a new suspension or anti-roll bars their tuning values aren’t updated.
You can “enforce” the correct values by going in the tuning menu and choosing to reset tuning values to default settings (tuning management menu).
Would be nice if such a glitch would be fixed someday.
After some testing it would appear this is not a display glitch (like wrong values displayed). The wrong values are actually used (easy to check with gear ratios).
Tested with gear ratios and “platform” settings (suspensions and anti-roll bars).
I second this. I’ve been able to recreate your issue and discovered some more indescrepencies
Take the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
Upgrade everything except the AWD drivetrain.
It rates the car as 9.8 ish in speed. Detailed view says top speed about 242. It has a 7 speed gearbox with a funky looking ratio. Take it out for a drive it’s more like 246.
OK…
Install AWD. Then reinstall drivetrain upgrades. (They reset when changing drivetrains).
It says speed is only rated to 7.5. Detailed view says 264. Gearbox has changed to 6 speed with normal looking ratios.
Test drive gets up to 267.
Why would it rate a slower car as a higher top speed? Is this GM marketing at it’s finest?
Those car stats are not accurate on any car,When you tune a car them stats dont change but the perfomance does. Prime example is the Venom. With awd I show a 7 for speed, in reallity it runs 270mph. The other stat window that shows your 0-60 and 0-100 times is close to the cars performance and what I use for a ref.
