Vehicle Bug Bugged car

Jay_Valentino · January 13

Date and time (provide timezone): 13/01/26
Character name: Jay Valentino

Does this issue appear again after a full game restart?:
Yes !

How many times did this issue appear for you?:
Since the tuner update does not go away
Issue/bug you are reporting:
When you drive it the engine "cuts out". I'm unsure how to explain it but when you drive it the engine over revs and the speed caps out at 65 kph for a few seconds then goes back up or when you go over bumps it makes the car go slower... A lot of cars had this issue but a lot of them were fixed after the tuner update however this car has still not been fixed.

Expected behavior:
When the engine over revs it should continue climbing in speed not capping for a few seconds and when going over bumps it should maintain speed or go faster.
This car only performs like this on this server, on other servers it is completely fine apart from eclipse.

Evidence (MUST provide either UNEDITED photo or video) , notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate:
Drive the car.

In the video at the start I do a "double clutch" which in most cars offers a faster acceleration however in this car and a few others it locks you at a certain speed 54 kph. Further in the video you can see it does not benefit from any bumps which all other cars do furthermore it actually goes slower from them.

basically all tuners cars got nerfed by rockstar by adding advanced handling flags that cause this. i heard they can be disabled by servers not sure how accurate that is

Details of the Nerf

Top Speed Reduction: The primary impact was a substantial reduction in the top speed of nearly all 17 Tuner cars. Cars like the Calico GTF and Comet S2,
Handling File Updates: Rockstar introduced specific "Advanced Handling Flags" into the game code for these vehicles.
Impact on Drifting and Acceleration: The handling changes negatively impacted the cars' acceleration and disabled the "double-clutching" or "Mid Drive Speed Boost" technique that players used to initiate drifts and gain speed, making them much harder to drift properly.
Engine Sound Glitch: After the update, the cars also developed an audio issue where the engine sounds like it is trying to shift gears at top speed but cannot, a side effect of the speed cap.

Been like this for a long time, bought the car probably over a year ago and sold it for this reason. Hope its fixed

Yeah I remember when that update came out. This wasn't the only car that was affected but then a hotfix? was released which fixed almost all the other cars however this car didn't change. Its completely fine on other servers or GTA online when I tried it last, its only bugged here.

tried the s2 the other day and was doing the same thing at around 65 almost like the engine would just die then start again

It's because of the handling flags certain cars have. There was a brief like 3-4 months when they were disabled due to an update on GTA Online and the Jester Classic was the best car to drive, it felt like an actual Supra.

These are the cars that have the flag, if the flags were removed somehow a lot of them would be fun to drive around.
