The ingame performance stats sucks.

[JohnSalamii]

Let's state the obvious: Just because a car has 10 in acceleration doesn't make it the fastest accelerating car in the game. You can easily get beaten by someone that has a 8 in acceleration (or in any other category in that matter). The best example is Powerbuilds: They dont necessarily have the best launch or top speed or handling compared to other cars in the class, but if you know how to drive them, you can pretty much guarantee a win even on open events. I think PGG or Turn 10 or whoever is responsible for this should re-evaluate the performance stats; because it fools people especially beginers to think that they have the best handling or the best launching or the best top speed car in the game.
