CAUTION: BIG WALL 'O' TEXT INCOMING

The method I used gives APPROXIMATE Speed Modifiers (SM). I'll try to explain it in more depth:

1. Take screenshots of each (suspect) car's stat bars along with a baseline car with a SM = 1 (e.g., Lamborghini Veneno). For (slightly) more accurate results, screenshot the bigger stat bars in the 'Tuning' menu if you've already bought/acquired the car.

2. Crop the screenshots so that only the stat bars are visible, then line them up so they all start at the same point. This will make them a lot easier to measure. Don't mix screenshots taken from the Garage and Tuning menus as they are different sizes.

3. Measure how long each car's Top Speed bar is in comparison to the baseline car. It's MUCH better to use software such as Engauge Digitizer for this instead of manually taking measuements off your screen with a ruler!

4. Export Top Speed readings from digitiser into Microsoft Excel (or equivalent) for post-processing

Compared to this wiki my SMs were usually <2.5 percentage points lower. (Except for the HTC Plethore LC 750 and Renault Sport R.S. 01, where my SMs were 11.6 and 7.4 percentage points lower respecively. Until I know for sure where the wiki's SMs come from I don't know whose data is wrong.)

That said, this method can be used to give a good idea of a car's SM if no figures exist yet on the wiki. (The Mosler Super GT is presently one example.)

I found that two cars added in v2.5.0 (Enduro Update) had SMs (unequal to one): nanoFlowcell QUANTINO ~95.8% (from wiki) Weber Faster One ~98.70% (from measurement)

As for a list of top speeds, I'll only write down those of mine that differ greatly from those in this wiki. This is because: a) I prefer to use this wiki's SMs where possible, because I believe they're more accurate; b) Close attention needs to be given to car (Top Speed and Nitro) stats. For the record I relied on YouTube videos and some of my own cars.

DESCRIPTION: Car; MAX+PRO rank; Indicated Max. Speed * Speed Modifier = Actual Max. Speed

nanoFlowcell QUANTINO [default]; D1352; 368.3 km/h * ~95.8% = 352.8 km/h

Lamborghini Estoque; B1685; 481.6 km/h * 91.28% = 439.6 km/h

Lamborghini Egoista; S1766; 483.8 km/h * 95.9% = 464.0 km/h

McLaren F1 XP-5; S1776; 515.4 km/h * 91.59% = 472.1 km/h

Weber Faster One; S1785; 482.3 km/h * ~98.70%^ = 476.0 km/h

Mosler Super GT; S1794; 502.3 km/h * ~96.05%^ = 482.5 km/h

HTT Plethore LC 750; S1796; 532.8 km/h * 91.46% = 487.3 km/h

Renault Sport R.S. 01; S1798; 508.5 km/h * 95.9% = 487.7 km/h

Devel Sixteen Prototype [default]; S1810; 577.1 km/h * 85.74% = 494.8 km/h
