so, finally tried my maxpro corvette in MP today, and contrary to all my previous expectations, it is very under-performing in most tracks versus the vulcan, even in 2 lap races most of the times (and i am a very good racer, and i am well versed with far worse/tight handling cars like the camaro)...i guess i should have not expect otherwise..in the cut-throat level of MP at such high speeds, the corvette's sluggish drifting and loss of speed in the process (and the subsequent slower accel) all play against its top speed advantage...there's a reason almost no one (in the maxpro tier, including the champion league players) is using the corvette, as i observed in the 33 races that i played today...i guess everyone tried it at some point and came to the conclusion, as i have, that the vulcan still is substantially better than the corvette in all tracks except flat and simple long tracks like tokyo....hardly saw any corvette being used by the 19xx or champion league players..eventually after trying out in the first few tickets races, came back to my maxpro vulcan and have finished the day just a few points short of champion league..then played a few free races with the corvette, same results...not a car that can win consistently, and very less likely to do so in technical tracks if no other players screw up much.

either that, or the vulcan's speed modifier is not 88.65% but perhaps around 93-95%, thus putting its real speed difference compared to the corvette much lower than currently thought of (~12kmph), thus giving the corvette hardly any significant advantage in speed.

makes me question myself why i bothered with the time consuming and resource consuming (nearly 1800-1900 tokens and 5 million credits, spent mostly in haste in order to finish the damn enduro as soon as possible as these events make me sick and bored to death) EDD if this is just going to be useful only in a few hardly-worth-bothering TLEs like the class A heats...i almost thought so till the end of its participation deadline, but then in the last day of participation decided to participate in the EDD and go for it..
