I was testing my favorite car for top speed, and that's all I got 224-226 MPH on Special Stage Route X(no drafting help). :grumpy: It should be 241 MPH on stock engine in real life... I tried put different tires, or changed gear #5 and #6 shorter than normal gear, but still get around 225 MPH. 👎 What the heck is wrong with this? :grumpy:
 
Have you changed the oil and performed an engine break in for that favourite car of yours?
 
PD screwed up the car. That's what's wrong with it. The aerodynamics are wrong and the stock gear ratios are wrong.

Exactly. I can't believe PD didn't try to fix this after all this time. Disappointed that I have to modify a car to make it perform how it should, especially if it's a car as legendary as this one.
 
Down force will slow your car down slot in a straight line if you have got it on take it off

What are the proper settings for this car?
 
You need faster paint, and a smoother windshield. :sly:

There's downforce that can't be removed by default.
 
The F1's top speed is 231mph at 7,500rpm in 6th gear. The XP5 ran 241mph at Ehra-Lessien with the limiter removed, allowing it to hit 7,800rpm in 6th gear.
