Vertigo Race Car 04' GTAUTO Glitch

[KooL_Breeze_88_]

Just picked up the Vertigo Race Car 04' in the UCD. Brought it to GT Auto to see what the damage was going to be on an engine rebuild. Imagine my surprise when I saw this little gem. Car has just over a thousand miles on it.

Cute.

That also happens when you increase HP... it's strange.

 

[Schwartz]

So.... What's the glitch?

Edit: Oh I see it now. it does this with the Chaparral 2J as well.

Someone call TinTin, this is a Mystery fit for a Belgian detective.

It has something to do with the performance points being on a shifted bell curve I believe. Once you reach the peak (at whatever Horsepower that is) the Performance points start to go down. It doesn't happen on all cars.

If I try to add a turbo to her she does the same thing...... I'm at a loss

Wild guess, but I think it's because the car would be harder to handle with that extra HP.

Or it could just be a glitch.

Maybe certain cars work best at a specific range of power?

Happens on the vantage v12 also.

If you don't put a wing on the back the pp will drop when you add power, but once you add the wing you get a 40 pp jump.

It's only grossly overpowered cars or super light and overpowered cars. I believe it's the fact that the added power makes it less driveable around a track. It's not a glitch more a skewed number on a virtual graph PD uses.

I think the previous patch adjusted some PP's because I sometimes see the PP going up and down spontaneously

 

[GTPorsche]

That's because it puts the car outside of it's optimum performance range.

 

[TP1]

But essentially doesn't this allow such cars to race against inferior cars, eventhough they are far more powerful, but are classed in the same PP.

This would make perfect sense to me except for the fact that this car is not at optimum performance. Did you see the oil in the picture?! This car has been driven hard and put away wet, hence its location in the UCD. 1100 miles may not be much, but I tend to change the oil when I pick up used vehicles. In theory this should bring the car close, close to its original splendor. It shouldn't hurt the performance.
