Hey Guys,

Had a question regarding horsepower and upgrades. When I entered the Lotus Elise Cup Race I noticed that there were several Elise 190 entered in addition to mine. My car was totally stock. I usually start each race from 6th position because I am too lazy to qualify. At the start all of the cars just pulled away and I wasn't able to stay with them.

My question is 'Should I assume that all AI cars in the game are modified/upgraded'? Am I 'out horsepowerd' in a stock Elise with 193hp, when the AI are running more like 400hp? While I don't want to get left in the dust by the AI, I don't want an unrealistic 1000hp Lotus Elise that blows by everything. That wouldn't be fun either.

Same question for any of the cars in the game, including the race cars. Are you really running against them in 'published' performance numbers, or should you assume they are upgraded?

Thanks
 
It seems strange to me but in some races the AI cars seem to be stock and in others they appear to be souped up.
I prefer to assume them to be using souped up cars because it's what i'd do. :)
 
I think it varies according to which level you're playing. It's probably fair to assume that the cars in "Beginner" are stock, but that the ones in "Professional" are pretty heavily modified. :)
