I know this doesn't relate to the thread all that much, but can anyone tell me the specs of a fully tuned Jaguar XJ13? I am planning to host a Can-Am series with the Chaparral 2J and Toyota 7 and hopefully this car as well for more variety.
My process was a bit easier than that!I love you man. Did it get annoying having to stockpile cars after the 500th one? Or did you sell each one off after you finished upgrading and documenting them?
Maybe I'll ask nicely and see what happensThis thread should be permanently fixed to the top...
I used to have the online link in my sig... No idea why I got rid of it I'll re-add it for sure!Make a signature on OP profile. You know. promotion
The Bugatti Veyron can only reach 1300 hp with upgrades? Even though it's a high displacement V-16 with four turbos? Shouldn't we be able to push that engine up to at LEAST 2000 hp?
The engine is easily worth at least two Skylines by itself.
Well you do have to consider that the Veryon has 10 radiators and 3 cool the engine itself so whilst it's possible for more power, you'll need to upgrade all the radiators just so it doesn't cook the engine and everything else. That in turn changes everything in terms of the cars weight and design.
1300hp seems pretty reasonable as that's still 100hp more than the SuperSport Veryon.
Do the 1000 hp Skylines also have that many radiators? The smaller engines are bound to be more vulnerable to overheating than an engine 4 times its size.
Heck, the old Toyota Minolta race car isn't that much weaker and it runs an engine that's one third of the Veyron's displacement. On top of that, it's an endurance race car meant to drive for several hours straight.
And then there are the Funny class dragsters that run ludicrous outputs, ALSO with smaller engines.
I won't be able to install the update for a couple days so this is very helpful, cheers 👍Add this to your list...

I think it all comes down to engine longevity and reliability.
Your funny car is a prime example, granted it's more power out of a similar sized motor, (500CI is 8.19 litres ) but it's custom built to handle the power and even then they still blow up.
The Toyota is a good example too, It too has a competition spec engine capable of big power for it's size, but mostly it's big power was used for qualifying and then scaled back for long distance racing.
I would say the Veryon is over-engineered so it can handle 1000 or 1200hp reliably and be used everyday by anyone.
Another way of looking at it is this, how many Veryon engines have blown up? How many 1000hp Skylines have blown up?
How does any of this disprove the Veyron's ability to handle higher outputs?
You say Funny Cars are custom-built to handle the power. Even if not all racing engines are custom-built, aren't they at least upgraded to handle the stress of racing?
Also, even of the Toyota's output was scaled back, doesn't it still have to run 24 hours straight at nearly constant full throttle? That's a lot to ask from any engine.
And if the Veyron is over-engineered for reliability, wouldn't it be able to handle a lot more than 1300 hp?
#1, yes they are upgraded, but in the case of the funny cars making roughly 8000hp they have to be.
#2, I'll concede on this one, it's a fair point.
#3, possibly, 1300hp is what it makes in game and that's without touching the engine or turbos.
Could the engine make more? Maybe.

CORRECTBump for this thread, I have a question, is it true that you no longer need to "break in" the car to maximize the hp gain with the oil change like GT5?
