I have felt for quite some time the exact same sentiments. I first noticed it during the event for the Hennessey Venom. After I got the car, I was amazed at how differently it performed in the Career series, especially at Daytona.

If the car's PR stats can be changed when it is 'needing service', it is not a stretch that FM can make the car's behavior whatever FM wants it to be.

Make the car slipperier than normal for an event that calls for no skidding.

Make the car accelerate slower or corner worsely in a certain track/area.

As others have stated, FM can manipulate the PR's individual levels - i.e. "The tires are worn out! Your grip will be reduced!"

Whether or not FM actually TELLS you that the stats are altered is up to them.
