Right, for a laugh last night, I decided to spec. up a '69 Charger to see how good it could be at the Ring seeing as it's the class B hotlap record holder.

Well, there does seem to be a glitch when upgrading these, as I managed to get it up to 1097hp, with all the brakes/suspension/engine/lightening mods and still keep within class B.

However - this is on standard tyres!

I kid you not, you don't drive this thing, it just floats everywhere! I can keep the TCS light on solid through ALL 6 gears! It's just mental smile

I got 224mph out of it at the Ring on the start/finish straight, but getting it round the rest of it is like balancing a ball on your nose, whilst standing on another ball smile

Very funny and unbelievably looooooooooooong slides in the car, but the best time I could manage was about an 8:42.

How anyone can get round in a 7:26 or whatever it is - is just unbelievable, unless it's glitched in some way.

Adding even the street tyre upgrade immediately adds about 100PI, so better rubber just isn't an option?!?!?

How they've setup these cars if the times are legit is a mystery to me!

Looks bl00dy awesome though smile Will keep it for the next Ring session - just for giggles.

I thought the muscle cars were glitched(?) - oh and they can spontaneously turn into 4WD which might help :P

I haven't tried it, but the means to trigger the glitch are widely reported.

There are loads of Glitched cars in the game. The 2003 Fairlady Z has a glitch that if you modify the car in reverse order (Body, Wheels, Chassis, mild engine) you can tune the car up to 350bhp with maximum lightness, slicks, full Forza race body mods and every single race option in the chassis section whilst still remaining high class A.

However if you tune the car in exactly the same way (engine to 350BHP etc) but add the slicks last it ends up being in the high/middle of class S.

The Exige has a similar glitch as do quite a few others.

Shame about the glitches, the score boards are mostly led by cheat carsfrown
