I wish I had some data. The figures I used are common sense guesstimates. I have also been told about subtle but noticable figures and I translate this as a figure between 2% and 5%. For this version I chose 3% at least for the turn radius and for speed less than 5%.
The general idea here is not the values per se, but the psychological / gameplay effect to the player that *something* has changed, even if this is a minute change, as opposed to the stock game, where *nothing* changes.
