Patch 9.4: vehicle handling rework and anti-cheat update

Patch 9.4 is now live across all servers. The headlining change is a full handling pass on more than 40 vehicles, targeted at closing the gap between the top competitive tier and mid-range builds without removing the skill ceiling entirely. If your favourite setup feels different today, that is intentional.
The Sultan RS, Turismo, Infernus and Banshee received the most significant revisions, with adjusted suspension stiffness and power curves based on months of player telemetry from the last two competitive seasons. Alongside the vehicle changes, new server-side anti-cheat heuristics now validate speed and position data in real time. False positive rates from testing were under 0.1 percent, and a fast appeal process is available through the support page if you believe a flag was incorrect.
Three new items are live in the GreenCoins shop: the Carbon Wheel Set, the Champion Name Tag, and the Vice Founder Pass for players who want to lock in early GTA VI server access. Full patch notes are in a pinned thread in the MTA:SA and Announcements categories.

The Sultan RS rework was needed. You could apex corners at the limit with almost no throttle correction for the past several months. The new curve requires actual technique, which benefits competitive play. Good patch overall.

The anti-cheat sensitivity is slightly aggressive right now. Got a three-minute cooldown for a fast clean run on Chiliad Downhill with no assists or mods. Submitted an appeal. Hoping the thresholds get tuned in a hotfix this week.

Picked up the Vice Founder Pass. Not expecting anything specific from it, but being early to a Greens server has always mattered. The people you meet in the first month shape everything.
