I think some of the Dodge cars have way too high handling. For example, the Magnum SRT-8 has better handling than the Camaro Z28 SS. I could be wrong but I don't think that is realistic
So, for now everything gets upgraded to 669 that would normally have been 699. Just in case Hutch realise the mistake and correct things. Not gonna risk 969ing grip cars and then being useless if there is a tweak.
Oh great. Now all of our thinking that higher level cars should be 233 is now called into question. Should Caterhams still be built 699? RQ30 Audis? What else?!
Well let’s test em. Anyone got a 969 S8? That was pretty much worse everywhere
There seems to be no logical reason that a lighter, grippier car would lose a slalom, g-force or other similar race.
Are there ANY races a 699 tune wins? If not,the game is broken, and boring.
All of our hard work going into testing etc will be useless, and our cars tuned 'correctly' are also now useless.
I am quite disappointed by this news now.
It looks like only slalom has been affected. If you look back a 699 rs6 still wins on drags, twisty road etc. 699 S8 and green Porsche still wins twisty road

I haven't updated yet but when I do I will definitely run a few tests. I hope this is the case, that only slalom is affected but that is the one race that you would expect weight to play a vital role in determining the result.
I'm so lucky................................... With my main account I bought 12 American Premium Packs, the only new cars were the Hemi Cuda and the Chevy Monte Carlo SS.The rest were El Caminos, Suburban, Mustang and Cadillacs........ On the second account which is rarely used and has only 40 cars I had only 50.000 cash, bought one pack and got the Epic Lingenfeldter Corvette... Damn!
Can anyone confirm this (preferably with a 996 tune)? I just wanted to start maxing it out...
I confirm, this car is a disappointment. Terrible midrange. The Corvette 396 is faster even on a 1/4 mile, and destroys it on the longer drags. It may be good for 0-60, but that's it.
Ok, so the AI driving changes seem to have made the beat even faster
Before it did standing start slalom in 30.70 for 323 and I think 30.66 for 233. Now 323 does 30.53 and 233 does 30.63. Stock times are the same.
The 323 AZ-1 also beats the 233 AZ-1 in Slalom.
EDIT: Looks like it might be across the board. RQ19 Elise 135 Slalom results:
Standing Old 233 27.93 323 28.00
Standing New 233 27.96 323 27.93
Rolling Old 233 26.20 323 26.16
Rolling New 233 26.50 323 26.40
This is a game changer... what do we do now with our useless 233 builds? I understand the need to correct certain issues/bugs but I’m beginings to think we were better off before...

Seems also to be the case with indoor karting and car park, these two tracks and the standing slalom were usally the places where the 699 cars could shine. Did a bit of testing with my Honda Beats:
Comments
Edit: Times at stock.
1/4 mile: 12:00
1/2 mile: 18:43
1 mile: 29:60
So far I found 3 of them, Corvette ZR2, rq14 Plymouth and one E class Dodge, can't remember the name but it's yellow on picture.

Any faster rare car than this?

1/4 times
Plymouth: 13,13
Corvette 396: 12,93
1/2 times
Plymouth: 21,26
Corvette 396: 20,16
1 mile times:
Plymouth: 35,63
Corvette 396: 32,90
E-Type (RQ11): 35,10
75-125 times:
Plymouth: 21,43
Corvette 396: 10,16
Mercedes 300SL (RQ7): 15,80
That's how bad it is.

Indoor karting:
969 (old - new): 51,36 - 51,43
699 (old - new): 51,33 - 51,50
I don't have the times for the car park before the update, but IIRC the 699 was faster there as well, now however:
969: 48,20
699: 48,33
I just can't think of a track where the 699 Honda Beat is fastest now. And I'm sure it's not just the Beat. This is serious.
