Question on upgrading vehicles

[PsychoAnarchy666]

So how I normally upgrade any vehicle is by telling when one of the bars for like acceleration or whatever goes up,I'm not sure if anyone understands what I'm saying but hopefully anyways my question is this,since I do it that way sometimes for certain stats on the vehicle the bar doesn't go up so should I purchase everything even if the bar doesn't move up or am I doing everything correctly?

The only bars that move are Acceleration and Braking. I wouldn't worry too much about them though. All cars and bikes perform differently, you just have to get a feel for how they perform.

Traction also goes up by adding a spoiler. (Some cars can have increased traction by adding certain other body parts that are unique to that vehicle, such as the spare tire on a Stirling GT or be,t drive cover on the Sanctus).

 

It's also worth pointing out that you can max out certain stats without buying the most expensive upgrade, but that doesn't mean the more expensive upgrade won't give you more. For example, for many cars, you can easily max out the acceleration bar without buying the top-level engine or transmission upgrades, or the turbo. But even though he bar is maxed out, you can still get more acceleration buy buying the top-level upgrades.

 

So in a nutshell, always buy the top-level performance upgrades.

The bars mean nothing. You have to buy all the top level performance upgrades for maximum performance.
