Dress up affects appearance, not performance so when people change aero sets, they think they're really changing the accel, handling etc. But in reality, all they're really doing is changing the aero sets to the width and height of their liking. In other words, changing the size of their car that they feel most comfortable with.

I experimented this myself using my R32 on Wangan, the difference was only xx miliseconds apart cause I wouldn't stick as close to the wall with aero set a cause the aero set was larger than what i usually use.

But if that tiny amount of milliseconds mean that much to you, by all means- change it. In all seriousness, the car is only as good as the driver who is driving it. I hear enough idiots on the FAQ section asking what's the best car for ____.

It kinda feels like that there is a change in solidness when I change wheels aye.

I think Aero Kit and Wheel affect to Handling and bit of Top Speed

yah youre right dress up dont affect performance and also says in the site
but people keep on saying it affects the performance and i have no choice
to follow what they say

dress up parts are more of a psychological thing than an in game thing: if you see a car with a nice low bodykit and thin 'racing-style' rims and a big spoiler, then a car that's completely plain and stock, in your mind you will think the car with the dress up parts is faster.

isn't that what 'ricing' is? to give your car the appearance of it being faster, to make it look like it has more speed than it actually does, and this is really just done more to suit the driver's personal taste for the car's look rather than actual performance

You can always choose not to believe it, it's up to you. Namco has already lied about titles, so one more little thing isn't much.

From my personal experience, the Rays 57F I used on my RX-8 made the originally too-grip vehicle to drift a bit more, and the carbon bonet (no duct) DOES make my RX-8 even more vulnerable to ramming attacks from EVO VIII/IX (Christ even an EVO IX rammed me to a wall dang easily)

My friends own a Impreza WRX STi (GDB-C) which is well known for being dang light and thus dang vulnerable to ramming. He first used a carbon bonet with ducts and raced with my RX-8, which I rammed him to death. Then later, with the carbon bonet replaced by the original one, he CAN defend himself from an EVO VIII's ramming attack, quite well. (The same goes with my RX-8 which also swapped the bonet back)


To be honest, I'm suspecting that someone is setting up this thread just to start a massive flame war, and is somewhat succesful in doing it.

I thought I was the only one thinking that hahaha

gg

all comes down to preference

i think THEY dont even know themselves. i drive an S30 and i switched from aero a to c cause i got tired and i felt a big difference in turns, my aero mirrors were gone, so was my stock wing, and top that i also changed my rims. i felt a big difference on turns, expecially that i only play on osaka i know the course by heart, when to shift down, when to turn, and after i put the changes i lost my perfection. i put evrything back i felt the difference again. im sure dress up makes a difference

You must be very proud of yourself.

for some reason, that sounded like an insult LOL

AHAHAHAHA

i feel tht aero kits and wheels change the performance.

yes, i do believe dress up has an effect...
but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

we have a winner!

on topic though, i do think that aero kits, hoods and rims affect performance, neons decals do not.

ex Z34 aero kit B i have a hard time w/ hakone my cars fat ass keeps scraping

I guess when you think logically, Games these days are made to be as real as possible (in comparison to the real world).

So just say i bought a stock CT9A, then threw on a Carbon Fiber Hood, Some Enkei Forged Rims, An Aerodynamic body-kit and a Lightweight Carbon Fiber Spoiler. I guarantee you the car would perform a lot better/faster and weigh a whole lot less.

Lot of peoples issues are mind over matter, They read stuff like this and think oh cool i go faster and perform better with an Aero Kit B over an Aero Kit C, Then mentally think it's better while completely ruling out logistics and in-game mechanics.

I guess the only valid answer is that of which Namco themselves, Publicly announces in regards to DUP.

Believe whatever f*ck you want.
There is no ultimate truth in this world anyway.

Yeah it really makes NO difference. Try using this set up for your EVO 8 before you say something like this:

Aero set A
GT Wing (3D)
Rays 57F
Stock mirror
Stock hood
Whatever neon (doesn't matter)
Whatever sticker (doesn't matter)
Whatever colour (doesn't matter)

And good luck keeping it on track. (Yes this is my current set-up. Barely controllable opposed to the original set-up when I bought the car as a 820HP rename, but the thing is that it's so god damn heavy for ramming!)

dress up does not effect the performance. its just ur eyes, when u look at it and it looks crap sometimes it can make u feel unhappy and suck for some reason or if it looks perfectly how u want it u could be driving the best u ever had.

Yes, i feel it has an effect... but doesn't make it godlier in anyway... Just enhances your own driving style and making it suit you...

I bet you drive an R35 and know nothing about dress-up.

================================================
I kinda think that I shouldn't waste time here to persuade noobs to get their inferior cars that slide like sh!t and hit like an R2 re-dressed-up-ed into usable cars.

If they want their cars being crap, let them be.

eh. For me, no effect

Put on Aero A, straight wing, and watanabe 8 spoke did a run
Put on Aero C, 3D wing and Volk Te37 did a run
Put everything to stock did a run.

NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE OR TIME, its all in your heads

And ur an expert...how?

I think imma b a hero and say this

You are a moron

A CHALLENGE TO VR4FTW

I want you to pick ANY car, and i will assign you three settings for that car to have you TA ur 3 best maps (so a total of 9 TAs plus ghost mode races to change parts on)

Then come back to me and tell me that there isnt a difference

The rims have been decided

1 - Shotguns
2 - 57F
3 - RCII
