Performance Upgrades appear for both factions in Need for Speed: Rivals, but the ability to purchase and equip better parts is exclusive to the racer faction.
Purchasing a performance part will improve the rating of a vehicle for the given category that the upgrade was purchased for. Increasing improved performance parts are made available after a part for a category has been purchased.
The highest available part for racers in all categories is capped at level 5 and costs 705,000 Speedpoints to fully upgrade a Racer car. Some RCPD units may be equipped with higher level parts.
Redview County Police Department vehicles can not be upgraded with performance parts as each of the three variations for every unit are specifically calibrated and state funded. Some parts equipped may be of much higher quality and effectiveness than those available to racers.
