It doesn't matter.

Cars which have negative speed multipliers make up for this by having ridiculously high speeds on their speedometers.

For instance, the Devel Sixteen Prototype reads over 600 km/h on its speedometer but this gets lowered to around 530 km/h. Does this make it a bad car? Obviously not, since it's unheard of for any car to ACTUALLY travel above 600 km/h.

Likewise, at lower ranks, both negative and positive speed modifiers are simply cosmetic effects; having a positive speed modifier doesn't make your car better and having a negative speed modifier doesn't make your car worse.

Look at a MAX + PRO Range Rover Evoque; the numbers next to its speed bars are LOWER than all of the cars around it. It makes up for this by having a positive speed modifier. Does this make sense?

Basically, speed modified cars are simply disguising their real, legitimate/fair speed. Their speed isn't disadvantaged or augmented in any way by having a speed modifier.

Also, as a general rule, all cars at MAX + PRO or at Default level tend to run at the EXACT same speed if they are the same rank. The main differences in speed come from Elite-Tuning, Speed-Percentages, only doing TS and Nitro upgrades, and Tuning Kit bonuses (which are affected by the gap between default to MAX).

As an example, all cars at rank 1065 should theoretically only go at 300 km/h. However, some cars cheat by using the techniques mentioned above; they can get up to 50 km/h faster than the normal speed at this rank.
