brand tierlist?

[Tmccanna]

ive heard that brands have different qualitys for wear and performance, does anyone know how good each brand is? i believe generic is the worst brand but idk

[Creative Pudding]

yes, each brand are different, not only in wear but quality, weight, performance, etc.
you can "guess" some of them by it's price and the car it belongs.
Walea is the cheapest car, hence the "worst" parts, however cheap and easy to find.
Jingu is a strange one, because it is heavy, so very robust, heavy and therefore the best regarding wear. Also the CV8 engine is a very low rpm high torque one, different than any other engines in the game, many people like it for racing
Panania is an "import japanese" car, so hight tech, low in weight, high in performance and quailty. Wear is good but since it use to spin at high end, you can get problems easier (if you would drive it as a stock Walea it will be much much longer)
and so on...
The best brand is the EUROA, which is a racing top brand. Light weight, durable, designed for high performance races... but expensive and harder to find

you can get some more info in our discord server or visit our gamepedia wiki...

Would be great if the game actually displayed some of the more esoteric item stats, because I can never really tell if these differences between brands are actually there or I am just imagining things.

Could be subtle, like a little hint in the item description, or an article in the magazine we're buying. A tip on the loading screen perhaps.

Perhaps the differences only become noticeable under extreme circumstances, and that's fair in my books. However, for a lot of players, if something isn't explicitly pointed out, they assume it's not there and that can cheapen the experience (hurr durr, I'll just go with whatever's the lightest).

Panania - lightweight, mid power
Narnoo- 4x4 offroading, high power,
Camira, kanji- pretty middle of the road, kanji is light, camira has more power
buthanbang- high power, bad handling
magura- high power, fast
jingu, low power, cheep, high torque, heavy, best cargo capacity
wanja, it can handle a lot of power, but off the block, isn't that great
walea, cheep, somewhat lightweight
euroa, basically, hands down these are the best parts in the game, but prohibitively expensive.


By speed, I would say they probably line up like this. (not counting pre-made racecars and customs)

magura xgtv8
panania sport
camira sport
kanji l6
buthanbang gtov8
narnoo big block
wanja v8
walea v6
panania base
camira base
kanji base
boothanbang base
narnoo base
wanja base
jingu
walea l4

as an addition most of the euroa parts are a race tuned version of some original parts. Especially with engines, carbs, turbos, superchargers, suspensions.

Each car has at least 2 setups: stock street version and sport version (SE edition). Most parts's name also have the SE or RE for sport or race editions.

I.e. Wanja and Wanja SE are the same car but the engine and some other parts are really different. So Wanje SE is much stronger and faster than a stock panania...

Also, it is all depends on what you want? For drag race you might want a light weight car, for offroad you can also get great results with a narnoo, which is heavy but get get smashed up and weight helps to keep it on the sand in curves...

Every body has different aerodynamics, which also a factor in drag or in races. When you go for drag or top speed, you want a low aerodynamics, so high speed wont slow down that much, while on dirt you need to keep the car on the road, and too much power will just slip/brings you to the bush...

It is all about balancing your parts to make a great car for a race type. There is no best car in this game, there is only good setup and bad setup for a race.
