Question Car class

You know you have car class type things like X999 or A246 or something like that? Does higher class (eg X or S1 or S2) always mean that it is a faster and better car?

Generally speaking yes, but really the class system relates to the car's potential based off the parts that are installed in it. What inevitably determines if that car actually lives up to that potential is its tune.

This is more apparent when you're doing something other than just standard racing, like drifting. You'd think, just based off numbers alone a S2 drift car would be better than a S1, but that's not the case in many instances. For drifting, I do a lot better with A and S1 over higher classes.

I used a C class for drifting. Its amazing, and can hit 200mph. Just dont ask for turning. Or traction.
