Max Attack question

[Fezzy]

Does the Max Attack actually have something special about it to make cornering easier or is that just a joke?

it's part of the lore.
in game the cars are balanced so in the right hands, each has the opportunity to top the leaderboard, while still feeling different to drive.

Aight, I've been trying to use the Max Attack but it doesn't really feel any more nimble or controllable than the Impreza which kinda dominates group A.

I wanted to know if it had something unique with the handling or if it was more of a basic stat difference.

the fujin is most stable and is easiest to drive with automatic, so I used to drive it a lot and I still do for a casual run. And probably for those reasons it's the most popular car in group a.

As I improved my skills and started using manual transmission I found that the liftback suits me better. It just turns really well and compensates for my bad perception of when to turn.

the max attack might be the fastest car in the group and accelerates out of corners really well, but it's also stiffer, so you need to adjust your lines to account for that. It also flips a lot.

Even if you like the fujin the most, I still suggest trying different cars despite them not suiting your style. You will learn different approaches to achieving a good time and it will improve your driving overall.

I actually enjoy the Liftback a lot myself I've just noticed the Fujin is hyper dominant in it's class.

there's a lot of self fulfilling prophecy so to speak when it comes to top leaderboard times and the cars on them.
people look at the top 10, see a top time, then use that car, and the more people who do this, eventually the top gets filled with a 'dominant' car.
most cars are capable of top 10 times in the right hands and occasionally you'll see someone take a top time with a different car and soon the dominance is broken as more people try the different car. so in the end it has more to do with those driving the car, than the car itself.

the one class where this is a bit different is group a. because there's an achievement to drive the fujin for 555km, many people drive it to work toward the achievement, gain familiarity with it as a result, and stick to what they know.

as you play more, even try cars you disliked previously and you may find a new favorite. as your skills evolve, so too may your taste in handling.
