Only rear wheel drive cars are capable of doing a mid drive speed boost. I did it with my Sandking and Marshall. You can do it with AWD cars but the method is slightly different than the RWD cars |

I like to point this out, Mid Drive Speed Boost doesn't work for all vehicles. As far as I know. All muscles, some sports, and some Off-road vehicles can do it. Only rear wheel drive cars are capable of doing a mid drive speed boost. The 9f can do the conventional way. The T20, Zentorno, Sultan and a few other AWD cars can do the alternative method, tapping the brakes where you would normally use the hand brake then slamming the throttle, you get the same rev boost |

I use the regular method for my. The rev is very short when I do it in my Sandking. Also have Off-road tires on it.

To point at an extreme on the other side of the spectrum, check out world record runs of Burnout Paradise where the cars are truly really f@cking fast. ples :kappa: I like to point this out, Mid Drive Speed Boost doesn't work for all vehicles.

The regular method always gets a boost with AWD cars, however the amount you lose out from the handbrake is more than the boost. The 9f is the only AWD car that can use the regular method. For all the rest you have to use the brake method to actually gain time |

You're sure about that. The brake method doesn't seem to work with my Sandking.

Cameron is right. AWD will "MDSB" if you do it properly. Technically most AWD _should be_ able to "MDSB" (using quotes because in many cases this will not really be a boost) as long as it is consistent with the theory of why MDSB happens.
The window for it is lot smaller though, and advantage not as crazy as some RWDs.

Oh, sorry for another post, but if you have GTA V on PC running on 4K or even bigger and are willing to test some things for us, please contact Hertz on slack or message me here. Thanks!
Nevermind, problem solved.
Yes, our research has come down to counting pixels.

Brawlers back tire like a spoiler? What do you mean? If you're talking about it being equivalent to different spoilers on other cars, then (sort of) yes. It wont give you extra traction but most of its parts (rear bumper, front bumper and roof attachments) will have a small effect on the CoM. The roof attachments are the most obvious because they can sometimes help with stopping the Brawler from flipping over completely, with the drawback being that it will roll over easier. EDIT: Here's a picture I quickly put together showing the parts that will influence the CoM in some way  |

MORE TURBO FACT-FINDINGS------OLD / INCOMPLETE
As i stated earlier in the broughys handling spreadsheet thread turbos appear to charge up power when giving almost full throttle input. However it seems to be at least 2 types of turbos, or rather a turbo and a supercharger. The turbo works only when giving almost full power while the supercharger works on any amount of throttle input.
The supercharger does not charge like the turbo but it moves very much in sync with the rev-counter, thus half throttle will give half boost. Unlike the turbo, the supercharger uses about 1 - 1,5 seconds to decharge, meaning letting go of the throttle for a split second has less of an effect. (Not certain about this because gearchanges appear to have a negative effect unless the supercharger is fully charged, Meaning the boost-indicator could just have ran out of space)
How do i know this?
The Monroe (sports classics) appears to have a supercharger. When installing the turbo upgrade in LSC, the indicator in the middle of the speedometer and the rev-counter becomes active (marked TEMP for the Monroe), thus making it a boost-indicator.
As with the turbo, a fully charged boost-indicator will make longer and more distinct set of spinmarks on the ground than when not charging the the boost-indicator fully. The amount of charge is directly relative to the amount of spinmarks.
This was done by holding the throttle and handbrake for a variable amount of time and messing around with different throttle inputs.
The Monroe is the only car i know about that has a supercharger instead of a regular turbo
Sorry if i used any messy terminology and feel free to correct me. i hope you guys feel informed
