[@40088922]

while I appreciate a nuanced car system, I can't help but to feel it's silly we don't get this kind of information from the game itself, I mean, at least the bars should've worked, instead, people have to go through the game files and do extensive testing to get results. like, srsly? the NEON BARS affect performance? why isn't there a little marker in the LS Customs menu signaling it? what's next, do carbon pieces also make a difference since they're theoretically lighter? what if we didn't have dedicated people like Broughy to test this stuff out?

[@sharkeatinpizza]

The difference with neons wont be anything game changing for most, if you think a car handles well without em, then there's no need

yeah, the smallest of differences that only top level drivers would notice should be mentioned in game. sure.

[@40088922]

@@mazder3594 you don't understand. my peeve is that the bars don't work properly and extensive testing is required because of it. Top Speed, for example, IS actually affected by modifications, but the bar doesn't move, all because R* made the stat system busted. me pointing out neon bars is to say things make a difference, but we don't have any sort of indication. why not just add a little text box saying "cosmetic mods may change mass and/or center of gravity"? it's like with the Heavy Utility Vest in the 2015 heists.

Thanks again for this information.

[@53cards92]

you’re a god. this is exactly what i was looking for. i wasn’t sure if modifications affected weight, but i started noticing a lot of minor details regarding the way it’s programmed into the game. for example, a secondary player on a bike seems to drag more and losses turning ability. this cleared everything up for me and i didn’t even have to test it myself. thanks for the clarification. definitely deserving of a sub. keep it up, bro.

I just recently got in to GTA racing. I got used to one set up on my tuners, then I thought I'd change them up (liveries a & wheels) and when I went back to race them, they felt completely different. They were subtle changes, but because I was so used to what i had previously set up, it threw me way off. This all makes sense now.

People saying "omg this is how nuanced the game is!" and I'm just here like.... "this is how broken the game is"

[@MrMegaMario64]

I would argue both ways frankly. Either way, it’s good to have this info. Would certainly argue for broken when it comes to the neons though like... wtf even lol

[@ZerotheWanderer]

I'd say nuanced if the info was available in the game or it was talked about at some point, but I'd consider it broken since it's all wildly unknown, and that a lot of cars only have front bumper mods, or only giant wings, etc.

[@Johnny362000]

I wouldn't say broken. Most of the effects have a logical basis in how the physics engine works. What I would say it is bizarre. Why Rockstar went to the effort they did for some things (like the different handling properties of different wheel categories and suspension) when not only is it not referenced in-game at all, but it is also so subtle only top tier drivers will really notice is just baffling

[@ZerotheWanderer]

@@Johnny362000 I've absolutely noticed some suspension differences in certain cars that made a big difference, at least to me. The Futo seems to slide more at lowest suspension (which is good for the car), as does the Comet Retro (which is not good for the car). I hated driving the Comet Retro, then one day decided to put the suspension back to stock, and it was so much better.

I've been thinking about really testing the cars and comparing them, in particular a car against itself with different customizations to see the effect of changing a visual upgrade to its actual performance...

Well they say you learn something new every day . I had no idea that types of spoiler , front ( and I’m assuming rear bumpers ) plus neon headlights and neon layout made a difference to the centre of mass .. not to mention the use of off road wheels / tyres . Given the level of detail placed into this game , it still defies logic how the performance of some of the more expensive vehicles seems rather disappointing. There again , I’d imagine that the game is still more about the aesthetics than anything else . Been watching a lot of your videos in Lockdown, and must say they are very very impressive .
