Talk:Speed modification/@comment-30726130-20170514043352

I'm pretty sure GL added a speed modifier to the BMW 3.0 Hommage some time ago (exact update is unknown, either v2.8 or v2.9). How do I know?

Back in 2.9.0, I recall being pitted against a Vulcan (S1806) with my BMW 3.0 (A1765, only one handling upgrade away from MAX+PRO) on 2 laps around Tokyo Reverse. Both of us were triple boosted.

I thought this was going to be a hands-down win for me, but that Vulcan was actually going slightly FASTER even though I was running on Perfect Nitro and hardly ever ran out of it. I hardly hit any walls. I mean, he was clear off the radar by the time I was halfway through the second lap...

And then an Infected race, this time with a Devel (S1840) and on 2 laps around Alps Reverse. I started off getting knocked down by a Trion (~S1770), therefore becoming Kermit the Frog. At 547 km/h, I got my revenge on that Trion and two other Hommages, but for some reason I ​never caught up to that Devel, even on ​straights, ​until I exploded and the results became obvious.

Either I was reading wrong, or isn't that Devel's real top speed only about 521 km/h? Or did they bring it and the Vulcan's speed ratio closer to 100%?

Either Hommage now has a speed modifier or the percentages need to be re-tested, especially those that are negative.
