car comparisons

[Quinlan Vos]

Does anyone know of a place where I can get a list of VERY similar cars

the kind that if you race them there is no real handicap.

I'm getting kind of tired of having to race the exact car with my friends.

Oh...and if this is the wrong place to ask such a request plz let me know thanz

If this is based on GT4, then it's not the wrong place to ask.

So what do your friends drive? Let's start there.

 

[Viper-Fan]

Try a RUF BTR Vs BMW M3 CSL

 

[Quinlan Vos]

we used to just race the formula polyphony, cause we could get good color diversity witha race car. But I'm starting to like mor street performance cars

EX: nissan 350 z - saleen s7 - honda nsx and so on

 

[Uncle Harry]

Try the Ford Falcon GT versus the Holden Commodore SS.

Go to this thread:

GT4 Complete Arcade Car Testing List (Part 3 - All Over Bar the Shouting)

Download Excel file.
Open Excel with Microsoft Office or Open Office.

Cars are listed by times around Trial Mountain Circuit as driven by Pestilence (Famine's B-spec driver) and should give you a great idea of which cars are reasonably closely matched in terms of relative performance.

It might be just me, but that didn't open for me . Any suggestions?

Edit: it said 'The compressed (zipped) folder is corrupt or invalid.'

It's just you (well, probably not just you). I check the file periodically and have just tried again - it downloaded fine, opened in WinZip fine, extracted fine and opened in Open Office fine.

Try Right-click, Save As. If you already did, try Left-click, Open With.

 

[Quinlan Vos]

Thnx Uncle harry & Viper-Fan, I will try out those combos

oh and it says that folder is invalid or currpetd, can somebody who can open it, make a .doc out of it or something. I would really use it

 

[Famine]

It's a .xls. I've just downloaded it to all three computers in my house and it works.

 

[Smallhorses]

I get the same error if I try it too, it downloads fine, extracts fine.
If I use "open with" and select Excel or even add the .xls attachment to the filename, it still comes up with a message to say that the file is in an unrecognisable format. Bizarre.
It's definitely worked for me in the past since I use the spreadsheet all the time for working out LAN race lineups for the SFGTP events.
Thankfully I still have a working copy saved so if all else fails and Famine's OK with it, I can try re-zipping it and posting it here again. 💡

 

[Famine]

I have no idea what the issue is - I've just tried it again on my completely new computer and it opened without fuss in Open Office.

Maybe it's a Microsoft Excel issue? Which it oughtn't be, since I created it in Excel originally. Perhaps everyone's using a really, really up-to-date version of Excel which doesn't like the older file format. Or something.

Try downloading the zip file again. If you are using Office 2003, it should extract and open up Excel without a problem.

I've just tried it on my home PC (Vista and MS Office '97 combo) and laptop (XP and Office 2003 combo) and got it to download, open the winzip and open the .xls file.

Work fine on both tries, I even used the vista tool to open the win-zip file and that didn't cause a problem either.

I've converted it to a .pdf file and uploaded that, see if that works any better.

Scaff

 

[mcsqueegy]

It's working fine now, thanks Scaff 👍.

Famine, just to let you know mate I've received the same corruption message. I'll cut and paste and show you the error message received. The difference may be this.....I'm using Vista Ultimate + Office 2007 and the xls file may have possibly been done on a 2003 version. I've seen similar problems with opening attachments from people's computers to mine and mine to theirs due to the difference in MS Office versions. Don't know why, it just does.
This is the error message:

Windows cannot open the Folder.

The Compressed (zipped) Folder
'C: xxxxx\xxxxx\xxxxxxx\xxxxxxxx...(<--protecting file home on my PC)...\T91W5MMA\gt4cartimes[1].zip' is invalid.

 

[Quinlan Vos]

yeah I got the same message??

but the .pdf works great I thank you both one for making and onw for formatting

this is JUST what I need thanks again

Heh. Just what I suspected - though I'm incredulous that an Excel file in Excel format won't open in Excel. Good job, Microsoft - and one of the reasons I use Open Office on all my machines.

I'll add a note to the original thread.

No worries Famine, just call it another chapter in the lack of compatibility between Vista & XP. 👎
