Hi, I am N0_AZ1ST and I have encountered an issue where cars in-game have the incorrect drivetrain spec compared to real life cars.
Most cars in this game have the incorrect drivetrain compared to real life. Take the Cadillac CTS-V, a RWD car in real life. RWD is when only the rear wheels push the car. FWD is when the front wheels is pushing the car. AWD is when all wheels are pushing the car. Supposedly the Cadillac has to receive power in the rear wheels, but in-game its front wheels are making power out of it. Why does this matter? Because drivetrains are different apart from each other. FWD is known to understeer (barely any power to steer), RWD is known to oversteer (breaking traction by losing control), and AWD has the most traction. Since the Cadillac is pushing power to its front wheels, it has a difference on traction performance. Here’s an image of the car without its rear wheels moving itself with the front powering the car.
Here is proof that the Cadillac is RWD in reality.
You can search car drivetrain specs to certain cars online. However, there are more cars than the Cadillac that has the incorrect drivetrain.
Nissan Skyline GT-R R33] In-game Drive: RWD Actual Drive: AWD
Nissan GT-R] In-game Drive: FWD Actual Drive: AWD
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo] In-game Drive: FWD Actual Drive: AWD
Acura NSX] In-game Drive: FWD Actual Drive: RWD
Mercedes AMG E43] In-game Drive: FWD Actual Drive: AWD
Dodge Charger SRT8] In-game Drive: FWD Actual Drive: RWD
Ford Mustang] In-game Drive: FWD Actual Drive: RWD
Ford Focus ST] In-game Drive: FWD Actual Drive: AWD
Audi RS6 Avant] In-game Drive: FWD Actual Drive: AWD
Dodge Dart Swinger] In-game Drive: FWD Actual Drive: RWD
Nissan Silvia S14] In-game Drive: FWD Actual Drive: RWD
There could be more cars that I haven’t listed yet. To know a car’s drivetrain, hold the handbrake while moving in a low speed and don’t let go of the gas. If the car has its front wheels spinning, its FWD. If none of the wheels are spinning, it could be RWD. You can also remove the rear or front wheels and test it. Please check on all of your cars because some can have the incorrect drivetrain and it may ruin the driving experience.
