Gonna do some decidedly UNscientific turbo testing until someone releases some patch notes.

Early Conclusion: Turbo's Fixed! Here's what I did: I setup Los Santos GP Drag Strip and raced it a couple times, looking for the line I felt I could reproduce decently. Once that was determined, I raced it with my Zentorno with all the performance upgrades EXCEPT Turbo 12 times. Once done, I dropped the quickest and slowest time, averaged them out and came up with a time of 22.002 seconds. Then, I put the turbo on my Zentorno and replicated the first test. The averaged result: 21.703 seconds.
Again, this was not super scientific. I could not EXACTLY reproduce the line every time and I don't have video capture to side-by-side my results. But, as far as I'm concerned... it's time to grind out some cash to put all my turbos back on.

Anyone know if the new Massacro and Jester racecars are different/faster than the standard versions? Seems to me that they are exactly the same but with a livery on them, they haven't even got the race mods (spoiler, splitters etc) on them when you purchase them. Gonna have to wait to see some testing first I guess. On the plus side though, at least R* seem to be acknowledging the racing community recently. First with the stock car races and now this

I already snatched the new massacro and I'm gonna load it out the same as my old one and I'll run some tests. Bear in mind this will be in about ten hours.

Yes, i can confirm that the turbo is fixed, too. I basicly did the same testing Broughy did. On a 1,02km straight. I did it with the Ubermacht Oracle. Stock: 00:28.397 Turbo only: 00:27.563 So let's all put those turbos back on the cars Too bad, we didn't get any extra money or discout...

Festive update <--- This is the best coverage of the new update that I have seen so far. No real specifics regarding the cars (only Broughy can do that ) but it has the prices of all the new items with screenshots and videos over everything as well. P.S. That Slamvan looks fuckin sweet as! Slamvan vs Rat-Truck racing anyone?
