Cars with unusual traits

The Pescarolo C60 Hybride has a ride height adjustment glitch that has since not been fixed by any patches.

Weirder still, if it ain't been mentioned yet, is the ability to fit what acts like a rear wing (though there's nothing there) on the C60 Hybride. This gives it a 105 rear downforce value.

Also, the Mazda Lantis Coupe, rather than fitting the wing on the end if the car, which would be most logical, instead it gets some horrid looking holders on the window for its spoilers instead. Good if you wanna use it for trolling - and believe me, I've set it up and mine now drives superbly. Not a full mod but still for an FF is awesome. And it actually has a V6 :eek:

Not to mention a slightly odd sound from its semi-racing exhaust. It's truly brilliant for me and only tried it for the first time today...wow!

This. Plus, it has a big speedometer and RPM scale, in my opinion this car has the best interior of the whole game. It's the only car which I can use without HUD even on my (quite small) TV while still knowing how fast I am, when I have to shift up (I usually can't see it exactly) and even which track I'm on. Oh, and yes, I like the pink lights surrounding the whole interior.

If I remember correctly, before a certain update it only showed the nordshielfe.

I think I heard it always worked on Fuji. Fitting given it is Toyota's test track.

I was driving the Maserati Granturismo in practice mode on the 24h nurb, obviously the time change is in effect when driving this track. And I noticed that the two clocks (digital in instrument panel, analogue on centre console) in the car were changing to match the time change! Not sure how many other cars do this?

1969 Premium Camaro Z28 has an analog that matches. I think the Z34 Fairlady Z has a digital onethat does this too.

MP4-12C gets one of these I believe.

The new Fiat 500 too. I just discovered that today, btw.

The older Mazda RX-7 does this as well.

The Mclaren F1 has two internal rearview mirrors.

When driving a max HP Cuda' with an automatic transmission. I will refuse to shift on the power band. Instead it waits for the redline, some times the gears are to tall to get there. What would make a 70s muscle car rev that high and still make power is beyond me.
Only car I have seen do that.

My 2010/11 (I forget) Camaro SS, 1969 Camaro Z28, and all Subaru STI's do the same, they have a low power band for a 4 banger, yet it will not shift until you are at the rev limiter.

I think it is kinda funny that you mentioned that as being the unusual thing about the Maccy.

You can't neutral bomb the Prius '09 or rev the engine or spin the wheels. A least it's good for the environment. :lol:

The Lexus IS-f gt 300 car has a 52-48 ( or 53-47) weight balance even though it's mid engined. Is this correct? Can a mid engined car even be front heavy?

And im sure this has been mentioned but the IS-f and IS-f RM have 8 gears. Too many IMO.

So does a Z06. It works.

Um, when did Chevy drop the independent suspension [from the Vette]?

Apologies if any of these have already been mentioned:

The Mclaren MP4-12C is notable for having the most inaccurate and unrealistic engine sound in GT5.

The Mazda Autozam AZ-1 also has a strange engine sound. This one is so high-pitched that it actually hurts my ears. It almost sounds electric.

I'd give a vote for the most unrealistic engine sound to the Ferrari 512 and the Mazda 787B :yuck:

As for the Autozam, it sounds pretty accurate IMO, though the interior whine might be a bit exaggerated in-game (skip to 0:42):

Isn't IS-F front engined? Race cars don't usually have a 50-50 balance. Slight front bias makes the car balanced while accelerating.

i think the sound of the LFA is quite weird...

ps:200th reply here!

You'd have an easier time counting cars where the weight distribution is right than ones where it is wrong.

They didn't. All Corvettes since the C2 IRS suspended with leaf springs in the back rather than coils, though they changed from control arms to double wishbones with the C5.

For the past few years, Super GT has basically become a "run whatever the hell you want" series, hence the MR IS300.

OOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!! So that is why my 51/49 weight distributed Chrysler 300C handles like a UFO when it has 772bhp pulling it forward. 💡 The weight shifts to the back!

It's still better than my 32/68 weight distributed Elise Sport 190. :sly:

That thing handles like a frog. I honestly was not trying to make it do wheelies. :dopey:

Handling like a frog ( :odd:

) would be a significant improvement for an Elise.

It turns on a spot? Is capable of flight?

Kinda. What I meant was, the 300C doesn't feel connected to the ground.👍 The tires seem to only lightly brush the pavement when the wheels spin. It doesn't dig its tires into the cement like a Cobra 427, which can be drifted. :sly:

The 300C, on the other hand, loses all association to the road, even if it just barely starts to skid, at which time you die. :nervous:

Citroen by GT Concept car can reverse past 180mph! :embarrassed:

Because it's electric.

The gearbox in the sl55 amg is actually the only one, wich shifts and behaves almost like a real automatic gearbox.

It's not the only one, but one of very few, yes. Surely the premium Toyota Vitz/Yaris has also properly working automatic. Some other cars as well, but I don't remember at this moment.

Actually it's hydrogen powered.

The Air Grabber on the hood of the 71 Charger Hemi is a non functional in the game. It stays up instead of being vacuum actuated.
