So another example I can think of is the RUF cars.

The RUF RT 12 S is in Class A, while the RUF CTR 3 is in Class S. The RUF CTR 3 has a negative speed modifier and the RUF RT 12 S doesn't.

However, interestingly enough, the RUF RT 12 S has the same raw top speed as the RUF CTR 3, and I mean EXACTLY the same. The RUF CTR 3 is still a slight straight upgrade, though, as it has a better nitro statistic, better nitro efficiency, etc.

Here, you can see that several of the earlier Class S cars are just based on their Class A counterparts, with boosted nitro stats and fake speed stats.

Similar stuff happens with other Class S cars, though they usually don't have any Class A counterparts.

Sure, the Koenigsegg Agera R seems to be slow, as does the Koenigsegg One:1.

However, they are both actually slightly faster than cars near them with large nitro stats.

By the way, this speed modifier usually looks like this:

eg. A car starts off with 400 km/h top speed.

The car gets a visual speed modifier of x1.3. Its speed is now roughly 520 km/h.

Now, the car gets a real negative modifier of x0.8. Its speed goes from 520 km/h back to 400 km/h.

The cars real speed is now roughly where it was originally, but it appears to be going 100+ km/h faster than what it really is going at.
