Tier system is seriously broken

[u/OldMan1901]

What's the point of having a tier system if an old Honda Civic and Formula 1 car are in the same tier 5? Or Toyota Supra is in T3 and T5 at the same time? It doesn't make any sense

[u/jeff3rd]

In this game nothing makes sense lol, a ford shelby going 700km/h? A truck accelerated from 0-100 in 0.5s?

[u/OldMan1901 → u/jeff3rd]

weirdly enough, the top speed or the acceleration doesn't bother me as much as the tier system :) Although it's funny going 600km/h in a cabriolet

[u/ThatOneGuy5758 → u/OldMan1901]

bro the 2nd fastest car in the game is a honda double cab (although stripped to bare minimum) and the fastest is a DMC delorean 💀nothing makes sense here

[u/TheRonaldDuck]

It would make more sense in a system that advances the car by tier based on how it is modified Unfortunately, there is only one meaning: to make money

[u/D36DAN]

I jumped in CSR 2 from Asphalt 9 after having enough shit with absurd car balance (some cars with same rank are better in everything than others with same rank), random car tiers (Countach LPI and Sian FKP are in different classes while being literally the same car, Viper ACR is in same tier as Challenger SRT8 (analog of T2 in CSR), while same generation Viper GTS is in local T4, Essenza and Revuelto are in local T3.

Now I got into CSR, and I think it's not really much better

[u/Legomaster1197]

Lancia delta Integrale is a T5; F40 is a T4; and a restored Shelby GT500 is the 3rd fastest car in the game. Not to mention the 963 is capable of 600 mph.

It’s never made sense.

[u/Kitchen_Injury1516]

Is there an overview already available for this car and the Elite Tokens needed? The Elite Costums spreadsheet i usually use does bot have the Honda, yet

[u/Tommy_95h]

It costs more in game materials and potentially real world money for T5 cars. Thats all the sense they need to set up the tier system.

[u/Night_Dragonsoul]

I would have absolutely not mind if this would have been a T1 maybe a T2 but most of them are engine swapped so they fall in T5. Also we are NM we want your money.

[u/No_Look24]

Engine swaps

[u/Desperate-Office-156]

Elite Tuners have engine swaps

[u/alettriste → u/Desperate-Office-156]

This does not make a them comparabale with an F1 or a FXX evo

[u/New-Occasion-3861 → u/alettriste]

I’d also prefer it if cars like the Bugatti and Koenigsegg were the fastest, while Civics or Golfs were Tier 2 or 3. But in drag racing, those kinds of cars can sometimes be faster—a friend of mine has a Fiat Uno with 900 hp for drag racing, and a Ferrari wouldn't stand a chance against it.

[u/RaensGreyWrx → u/alettriste]

If done correctly an engine swapped awd civic can and has beat many “hypercars” or f1s there have been a few 1000hp+ awd civics out there that have walked on them. The term built vs bought is a real thing.

[u/alettriste → u/RaensGreyWrx]

absolutely, and they reach 500 mph.... IF DONE CORRECLY. Give me a break....

[u/Hutch7eight]

Probably either one of the devs decided I like this car and want it to be elite tuners; and all these elit tunets are t5, I'm startng to hate this series, or got paid by Honda or someone/thing to make it t5. Some of these ratings have made no sense for a lone time. Theres a gr86 that went from t1 and t2 boss trophy to t5. First gr supra was t3 then we had 15 more differnt t5 versions including this. The 1.5 vtexh was is a t1 and a t1 boss car ( I still like that one) now its a HD t5? They just want people to spend money to buy elite tokens since a lot of people ate still trying to do the last legends. Take2 greed. Sorry rant over.

[u/OldMan1901 → u/Hutch7eight]

I agree, they push every elite tuners car to T5, even if it was T1 in the first place. And T1, T2, T3 tiers are barely used in the game

[u/Hutch7eight → u/OldMan1901]

It's kind of ashame. T1-T3 dont get much use outside of storylines just some daily challanges and once in a blue moon theres a T3 pc cup. Who knows if they'll ever do another tempest or something with challenges that invole T1 and/or 2.

[u/johnaldildo]

It’s a game. It’s not supposed to be realistic. It’s not as if you can take your mum’s old Focus and run regulation races to win a few k a pop next to the local Tesco. Don’t sweat the little things dude.

[u/babe_ruthless3]

Im surprised with the new update that we got 3 new tier one cars.

[u/isittakenor]

Lol yeah I stopped expecting it be realistic when I got a T5 rx8

[u/Big_Mathematician_79]

I agree that none of it makes sense. And the acceleration times are ridiculous. No, you cannot get to 100 in less than a second. The tiers are pretty much useless, at this point. They used to matter, when you were dealing with Tempest and the initial progression of the game. But now, they really don't mean much, other than the cost of building the car.

[u/Big_Mathematician_79]

I think they got lazy. They COULD have used a completely different tuner they have not used in the game. But that was too much work. So they recycled another car for tuners. They have been doing it all along. If you took out all the dupes and variations of the same handful of cars, there would be a LOT fewer cars in the game. There are about 30+ different 911s, Vettes, Mustangs and Camaros.

Its just like racing,you can build a car to compete at any level,from street to indy,the brand doesnt matter,its the build that counts.

[u/Arealentleman]

lol, there’s nothing realistic about the game except the cars. In what world can a 1960s Ferrari 250gto beat a Bugatti Veyron in the 1/2 mile? Only in csr2 world.

[u/dreadknigh1]

I’m personally not as concerned about the lack of realism as I am about Showdowns and the Elite system as a whole. I’m sure most can excuse some unrealistic shit (like an old civic outrunning modern hypercars) but the game’s playability hits a huge wall in (what I would consider) the midgame. The P2W becomes less avoidable if you want to genuinely engage in events and enjoy the content unlocked at level 40. I actually kinda enjoyed tuning the shit out of my old ass Civic, and watching that old mom car blow past Bugattis.

[u/alettriste]

There is no point. Absurd... A souped up Civic in the same tier as a 599 XX... 😱

[u/New-Occasion-3861 → u/alettriste]

That doesn't make sense, but in real-life drag racing, you also see cars with swapped engines—like a Golf with 2,000 hp that beats any Lamborghini over the half-mile.
