I'm not an FE hater (not at all, I'm one of the 7 proud posters on the HK 20 lap leaderboard!), but I found the original FE cars to be disappointing. They don't really do anything very well. It's OK that they're not quick (FU at ~170mph top speed, ~3.1s 0-60), but since they have wings and are proper race cars one expects braking and grip to good, but they are only slightly better than average (FU ~80ft and ~1.3g). They are just mediocre momentum cars. Put the same power in a car with 55ft braking a 2.3g and you have a freakin' hot momentum car that would make us forget all about the R3 Spec Silvia! And why not, they've got wings! It should have really good grip!!

Squeaky tires (sounds like wet sneakers!) and overly loud electric whine doesn't help matters. I'd rather have an almost silent car where the sound we hear is whooshing wind.

One the plus side, the battery management added an interesting element, and the cockpit view is pretty cool. Here in the real world I love the idea of racing electrics, and it's OK for it to have certain compromises as the technology matures (like swapping cars mid-race!).

The current crop of cars should be better, but I doubt they'll crank up the braking a grip they way I'd like. They'll probably just generally raise all the stats, and they'll be less mediocre.
