How to Upgrade Cars in Ghost Driver

Choose a upgrades page

Drive the same route and identify one problem: weak acceleration after slowing, unstable lane changes, or a top-speed ceiling.
Open the current dealership or garage upgrade interface and confirm the available categories and prices.
Buy one change that addresses the measured problem instead of copying a full build from another car.
Repeat the same route and compare acceleration, control, and usable speed.
Stop buying minor parts when saving for the next vehicle would create a larger improvement.

Observed problem	What to prioritize	How to verify
Slow recovery after braking	Acceleration or induction-related upgrade shown in the current garage	Time the same speed recovery on the same road
Unstable lane changes	Control, grip, weight, or tire option if the current build exposes one	Compare clean-run survival, not only peak speed
Hitting a speed ceiling	Power or gearing after handling is predictable	Use a repeatable road and identical starting speed
No clear problem	Save Cash	Avoid spending without a measurable target

Community guides document using earned Cash to upgrade cars, while the official page confirms that new cars are part of ongoing updates.

Exact upgrade names, prices, and effects should be confirmed in the current garage because Pre-Alpha values can change.

Apply one change at a time and compare acceleration, control, and top speed on the same route.

Avoid upgrade tables that do not show a capture date or distinguish official values from community estimates.
