The reward^1.4 is roughly proportional to total FU cost. Anyway that analysis fell by the wayside, until I just updated it. The general trend is that the scale was about 4.0E-5 (through about 6.0.5) which has slowly gotten worse over time; 7.x scales to 2.3E-5. The original 7.4 Exclusives scale to 8.9E-6 (919) and 2.5E-5 (RS 01) which are now 6.2E-5 and 9.0E-5, respectively.

Anyway, the positive outliers* are the Skyline GT-R Vspec, M3 GTS, Gallardo LP560-4, and the 7.4 ES, R8 LMS and the Hellcat.

The negative outliers*: RX7, 240Z R3 Spec, Testarossa, Jag F-type SVR, and the much loved Performante.

Could you please explain whatever you wrote in Layman's terms? HeadFool observed a correlation between the Total cost (in gold) to fully upgrade VS the reward from the exclusive series. But as time is going on the newer exclusive series are getting lower gold rewards than what they would've had before. The positive outliers are cars that give you a better reward, and the negative ones give you worse rewards.
 * I'm not using the statistical defniniton of 'outlier'.

At least that's what I got from it. Sounds about right, as EA was slapping 100GC to every high pr car's ES.
