I'm coming from years of Forza Motorsport, and this car takes off like a rocket, and goes like 300 mph. Watching the preview video at 50% playback speed felt better.

well, forza motorsport is a dimulation game, this is arcade, like Sega Rally and others so the feel of speed is important, in fact for me actually the speed is ok and was thinking to maybe increase. But until i not get a real track can test how the overall hanlind will be. Btw, the "S" at the start even with that speed you can manage easily braking  and with some practice, so no dhould be much problem.
