Vehicle Specs
| Spec | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 9.0 | Aero drag kicks in around 180, but up to that point it's phenomenal |
| Handling | 9.2 | A bit of understeer at the limit, but easily fixed with a sway bar tweak |
| Acceleration | 9.0 | EV torque means instant response. No lag, no drama, just go |
| Launch | 8.5 | Needs a bit of throttle modulation, but once you find the sweet spot it's consistent |
| Braking | 9.0 | ABS calibration is spot-on. You can trust the electronics to sort out threshold braking |
| Off-Road | 2.0 | Actually fun on gravel with the right tires. Who knew? |
| PI (Stock) | 930 | High S1 / low S2 territory. Solid for ranked |
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Turn-in response is immediate. The front end goes exactly where you point it
- Tire wear is surprisingly good. Can push hard for longer stints
- Stock tune is surprisingly competitive. You can win races without touching the upgrade menu
- Brake feel is telepathic. Trail braking into corners is instinctive
Cons
- Brake fade starts creeping in after 5-6 hard laps. Not catastrophic, but noticeable
- No Forza aero options, which limits tuning flexibility in higher classes
- Fuel consumption is rough in longer races. Plan your pit strategy accordingly
- Wheelspin prone in 1st and 2nd. Short-shifting helps but it's annoying to manage
