I looked at it, but I didn't play around with it. Basically, the parts seem to add a few percent more performance over stock for acceleration, handling, and top speed. Different parts emphasis different things. So one engine upgrade might add 1% to acceleration and 3% to top speed while another would be 3% for acceleration and 1% top speed.
There were a number of other things they did too.
They've changed the performance ratings for cars, using a number in addition to the vertical bars. However, its probably less accurate than it was before. My SRT8 is supposed to be a lot slower than my S5 but its marginally faster. Others were saying that during the update, some cars got nerfed while others were buffed
The pursuits are more difficult now, but give a lot more XP and a bit more cash. There is a car damage system in place, where you have to periodically repair your car. The graphics have been tweaked, personally I liked them the way they were better. You can waste excess money buying reward cards (50k buys 5 cards). I think thats it though I'm probably forgetting a few things, but that covers most of it.
