GT4 vs. Real Life

[+JuggerNaut+]

not really, but ok. won't be this weekend though. i'll get around to doing some laps sometime next week.

[AmIdYfReAk]

allright, coo

my bud and me had a top speed challenge, this might be somethign to consider also..

we did like:

All engine sub 1.8L top speeds:
Forced induction Sub 1.8L:
All out Sub 1.8L:
Sub 2.5L top speed:
etc all the way to
All out Sub 3L:

at that point he smoked the living shit out of me with a 415kmh 300ZX 2+2..

:/

it was fun up untill that point

Could be this one http://z-o-g.org/gt4cars/japanese/nissa ... gtc-99.jpg

But honestly, I was only trying to get the playstation chicks number.

[AmIdYfReAk]

hahah, that a boy.

Hummm, i think i sold that car... it was nice wile i had it though... welp, time to buy it

[Grandpa Stu]

that was awesome. a shame they're stopping production on the nsx though. i had high hopes of owning one some day.

oh and i'll join in on the challenge. i might fire up the ps2 really quick and pull a few laps with a stock nsx to see how i compare to you guys before i go to work...

but yeah it could be something as simple as each week a new challange is presented and you have that week to accomplish it before next week.

[AmIdYfReAk]

Hummm, that may work stu.. that would be interesting..

as in
Week1:
No more then 2.0L Engines, No drive train limmitations, TOP SPEED!
Use the Back straight of Suth da le sarth II.

Etc that would be mint.

btw, i got into that 300ZX 2+2 and got that 413 top speed to 433kmh

[+JuggerNaut+]

i think it'd be bettter if we all used the same cars/setups so it's purely on the "driver"

[BlueGene]

How would you verify the results?

How would you verify the results?

well, so far the peeps that are participating i trust them enough to hold them to their word. you on the other hand..

[Grandpa Stu]

well we could post screens but i dunno if that would really be necisary. i just did a quicky and my best was 1.45.220. i know i could do better too seeing as i havnt played this game in a long ass time.

[BlueGene]

I was just wondering I don't even have gt4 and haven't touched the ps2 for over a year.

[AmIdYfReAk]

it would need proof, so people arnt ass's about it.

i am trying to get my webcame to capture a picture of the 433KM/h in progress..

and if you guys check out the other thread that i made asking if other people are interested in this.. you will get the details..

and Jugg's, that will be there also

clarkson's a bad@ss. i'd really like to know the final time as well, although perhaps he off'd the circuit?

Yeah maybe he wrote the car off. That's probably why they cut the video off that abruptly :icon32:

[zewulf]

I think it was 7x06 btw.

OK thanks, I'm gonna go look for a more "complete" version

They cut it off a a joke It explains if you get the full ep

In other words, GT4 is NOTHING like real Life. Which is known.

GT4 is wank. Nothing has changed since GT2...

Dude, JC is no racing driver, even by his own admission. You can tell just by the way he sits in the car (a bit too far back IMO). He's not very smooth either, oversteering way too much at times, which would definitely hurt his laptimes big time. He's probably not even driving with proper racing techniques. Real racing is a lot different than doing a bunch of doughnuts/burnouts on an empty airstrip you know.

Also, not only he's playing the game with the controller, he's using the buttons. He should at least be using the analog sticks. I wonder if he's ever tried the game with the DFP wheel. I've played the game using both the controller and the DFP wheel, and I can tell you that using the wheel feels more realistic (and not just because it's a wheel). The controller is naturally less precise and under certain circumstances makes the game much easier to play (e.g., when you need to counter steer very quickly).

Last but not least, JC never mention what setup or tires he's using in the game, which would have a big impact on how realistic of a laptime one ought to be able to get. GT4 may not be very realistic, but you can more or less set the car up so that you can turn relatively realistic laptimes.

Here'a an article written by JC on GT4:

Here's an article written by an Australian journalist of his experience driving on the real Nordschleife after driving it in GT4:

Yeah that's what I figure, but it's always fun to make fun of JC

[zewulf]

Just finished watching the whole episode, which I thought was very good. The only downside to it was that I didn't see any really hot-looking chicks in the audience Anyway, I'm generally not a 4WD fan, but that VW Golf R32 is quite impressive. Too bad I don't think it's available in the States. And yes, JC's fastest laptime in the NSX was a 1:57 :icon13:

you can get the r32 here in the states. they arent extraordinary or anything though. a friend of mine has eaten a few up in his wrx even when it was stock...though a lot of that could be up to driver ability as he's a seriously fucking good driver.

[AmIdYfReAk]

Hummm, they are available in the states?

i was talking with a VW nut of a friend and he said it wasent able in canada, so i was asuming he ment in North america in general.

interesting to know.

on a side note, i would love to get a R32 GTR and beat that wannabe R32

I'll take your word for it, but I don't see the R32 on VW's US website. Which version of WRX is your friend's? If it's the STI, then it's got significantly more BHP than the R32, and it's turbocharged.

[Grandpa Stu]

my friend used to have just the base wrx. 2.0 liter turbocharged bla bla bla. there's an r32 that parks in the driveway of a house that's on the way to skyline (mountainous road in my area) so mebe if i head up there any time soon i'll take a pic or whatever.

my friend doesnt have his wrx anymore, he got one of those new cobalt ss things. it's pretty quick but nothing like he had his wrx up to. i got lucky and was able to buy his intake, boost controller and BOV for 200 bucks. i'm amazed at how much faster mine is now, i had no idea...and that BOV just sounds seksi.
