I've been driving my F090/S for a while now, about 1800 miles worth of while now actually. Now, I know all about the variations in horsepower as you drive it and change the oil, and lately this car has been handling a lot more loose than I remember it being when I first tried it out... and the settings have not changed a bit. I still use the default settings and parts (though I don't think you can even change any parts) that the car came with.
A possible reason for what I'm experiencing could maybe be described as "Handling Dilation"... a term I am making up that is inspired by the phrase "Time Dilation" which describes how, at great speeds such as those experienced by a drag racer, one can percieve time to be slowing down... so the 4 or so seconds (guessing) that they use up to get down the stretch seems like double, triple, or even more than that span of time to the driver. Another example of this phenomenon would be how it seems like you are going slower and slower the longer you drive at the same rate of speed. So 60mph seems much slower than it did initially after you've been going that for an hour or so.
To correlate, I am just thinking that I've been driving this sweet F1 car for so long that I've "forgotten" how great it feels in comparison to the cars I was driving before I won it, and thus it doesn't seem as "snappy" as it did initially. So is this true or is the car in fact wearing out?
I'd like your opinions on that, and maybe throw in a discussion on what it might mean for Gran Tursmo games if it were true that cars "wore out" over time. You know, replacing parts and having to retune the cars and such.
