I have been a fan of NFS for a very long time. I recently got on xbox live and was looking forward to playing against others till I realized that no matter what cars people race me with, they are much faster. So I have a couple problems and would appreciate it if someone could please help me. I have an xbox 360.
When I play in my career or even when I do a quick race my cars are much much much much faster than when I am on Live. Someone I raced against said that part of it is because ranked races on live have “performance tunning” set to “on” and this slows down your car, or evenly matches the cars in the race. Is this true? I still get killed in ranked races. My car never goes as fast as it does when I am not on Live.

Now I know that you can do performance tunning to make your car go faster but my problem is that I do not know how to perfoamce tune on xbox Live. I have gone to My Cars when I am not on xboxLive and picked the Porsche 911 turbo (996) which is the car I mainly race with. (I’m a porsche fan). I will do a quick race and before the race pick performance tunning and tune it. I accept the tune and race. When I go to Live I can tell just by looking at the car that the tunning I did before getting on Live is not saved (I know this because even though it kills your handling, I will lower my car all the way and when I sign into Live and pick the same car I just tuned, it is back to it’s normal ride hight.)

Once I race on Live my car does not go nearly as fast. So my question is how do I performance tune on Live. When I try to pause before the race starts like you do when you are not online, it doesn’t allow me to. People are just embarassing me out there and my car is great when I play offline.

Can someone please help me? Thank you…
