I've been hearing rumors on other forums/websites that the Z-Type has been nerfed. The handling seems to be worse, and now the Monroe easily smokes it. I don't have time to test my Z-Type in a race right now, so can you guys confirm if this is true or not?

Has the Z-Type been nerfed?

Yes it has been nerfed but not purposely, I guess it has to do something with Stunting/Gliding handling with bikes.

This is why the Z-Type sucks again, why planes are slow, and why the sandking isnt 4x4 anymore.

The handling.dat got changed to handling.meta, but ALL HANDLING CHANGES FROM AFTER 1.01 WERE LOST. rockstar didnt copy the changes to the new handling.meta one for some reason..basically, all handling was reverted back to version 1.00 handling.

Curious if Jets are fast again.
Z-Type should remain that way IMO.

It's also now 1,000,000 not 10,000,000
It has never been 10 Million

It was only 10 million in single player. Never in online.

Thanks for the replies. So I'm guessing this won't be permanent and won't get fixed eventually?
Is the Z-Type still usable in sports classics races, or should I look at purchasing a Monroe for the time being?

Yep hope they fix it in 1.14
I hope they don't. It's WAY out of place.

Hm interesting...
I've bought one after the patch and tested it on my 1000m drag race (only one time tho) just to check, my time was 2 sec slower than the average time recorded by someone else pre-patch.
I actually found weird it would "burnout" that much at the start... that's the reason I lost so much time...
I didn't remember it did before... I thought it was just me maybe, didn't test again as I had no use to, but now that you mention that...

Aw keep up updated when this will be fixed or IF it will be fixed.

I think the Z type finally is balanced. They should leave it. It should be slower..

The Z type wasn't fast in the first place. Smoked countless Z types in a stock Monroe in races with catchup and slipstreaming off.

Yeah I thought my Z-Type was considerably more tail-happy, also a bit lackluster on the acceleration front.
So... yet another thing Rockstar can't get right.

Yeaa I don't think that's true. I've tested the z type against the monroe in a .62 track and it was definitely faster pre 1.13. Now I don't know

It cost 950k it should be competitive in it's class which it currently is not.

No it wasn't, it was fastest in class *easily*.
Maybe not for you, but for me it was.
