I don't think i strayed off the topic, we're discussing overall performance so all variables should be accounted for beyond bhp/ton

The FZ5 has 265 bhp/ton while the LX6 has 356 bhp/ton. They both lap blackwood within a second of each other even with a 170hp (at the engine) difference.

Quote:'m not an expert when it comes to downforce so I won't comment much on that except that I don't think it makes that much of a difference since I already said even tho they have less downforce are still faster.

Downforce is definitely makes a huuuuge difference in overall performance, and so does aero drag (resistance) it makes so much of a difference that LFS changes the speedometer of any given car based on this. I will use a stock XRT to demonstrate this.


Stock XRT has a 160mph speedometer auto-generated by LFS


Here i reduced the car's aero drag by 25%, notice how the estimated top speed changed along with the speedometer.

The V10 Bimmy has GTR like aero downforce with 1/3 of the drag of the same GTR, With a proper setup its a fast car. The other bimmy felt better because it only weighed 1170kg, instead of 1490 which makes this V10 variant feel a little piggy.

I see what you mean in theory, but could you show me that XRT doing an extra 20km/h just by you adjusting nothing but the drag from 0.400 to 0.300? Because I did actual tests in game not just based on numbers.
The fact is that the old Bimmy with 297bhp/ton at the end on Highway 1 on Westhill you're reaching 260-265km/h, now guess how fast the v10 bimmy is reaching at the end of that straight? 260-265km/h...
Drive the car, do some tests and don't speak just based on numbers.
It could say 800km/h on the dash but if it can't even reach 300 what does it even matter?
