[daddyo845]

I'm pretty sure I need more friend requests guys. Get em in or you won't be able to join. The room will be set to friends only. My psn id is in the op.

Here is the difference

 

[ERAUfan97]

did you know the sambabus is actually the slowest car? fully detuned, it gets 155pp, or was it 151? eh, it was something slow. 16hp and 1200+kg

Slowest car detuned, but not slowest car from the factory. Pretty sure the VW Schwimmwagen or the 2CV are the slowest cars in the game.

oh, yeah the 2cv. but still, its interesting to see how fast you can go in the slowest car possible. i think it took me about 15min to get around the nurburg....and that was with a push up the long straightaway

 

[MidFieldMaven]

I don't think the 2CV would make it around the Nurb. Someone should try lol.

oh it would do better than the bus, thats for sure

 

[daddyo845]

I thought the Subaru 360 was the slowest at 49mph
I took the bus around nurburgring and the Subaru as well and I can definetely tell you the bus was faster around the ring.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

The Subaru has 241 pp. The 2CV has 209 pp. The VW Sambabus has 209 pp. The VW Schwimmwagen has 206 pp. I'm guessing that's the slowest car.

I don't feel like grinding to get 625k

but when you add all the weight and take off all the power, the bus is the slowest car in the game

 

[MidFieldMaven]

The 360 actually hits 50 mph but most likely when you see it, it'll send you back down to 46 mph so I just feathered it at 48-49 mph.

...Is that what racers had to do back in the 50's?

 

[Mike458]

Should we do Gran Turismo Arena or Kart Space as that has a lot of tight corners good for overtaking? Last time we didi it, it was really good fun!

 

[MidFieldMaven]

The bus is indeed faster than the 2CV (and Carol) at Suzuka.




But they're both better than this...



If the 360 isn't the slowest car in GT6, then the Schwimmwagen HAS to be...

 

[r34love]

Please sign me up if there is still room on the roster. My friend request has already been sent. Thanks!

 

[daddyo845]

I think the pp system is broken for slow cars in gt6 because I know for a fact that any car can beat the 360 in a race. The volkwagens may be heavier but they have more power and can climb better than the 360.

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

I'll join if my internet holds up ok in the room.

 

[daddyo845]

Just a reminder, everyone needs to send a friend request to daddy-o845 on psn before the lobby opens otherwise you won't be able to join.

I have questioned that myself. In fact, even when tuning for PP, I've started to take notice of and use the HP/Kg Ratio number as well. If anyone wants to see it well, Take an R34 and a ZZII and tune them both to 550pp. Note the ratios for each, and you see why the ZZII skunks the R34 every time.

i agree. especially with the Mitsubishis....they are especially slow compared to others at the same pp

but what pp were those cars at?

 

[MidFieldMaven]

but what pp were those cars at?

100% stock except for tires.

2CV - 209 pp
Bus - 209 pp
Carol - 216 pp
360 - 241 pp

The Bus is 6 seconds faster than the Carol, 32 seconds faster than the 2CV, and 47 seconds faster than the 360.

Car specs are in the descrption box on my vids.

 

[ERAUfan97]

well yeah, thats expected but if you add all the weight and put the power limiter all the way down, then the bus will be the slowest out of all those cars

 

[MidFieldMaven]

I think if you limit the power of the Subaru 360 all the way, it'll have negative power lol

 

[ERAUfan97]

I think if you limit the power of the Subaru 360 all the way, it'll have negative power lol

ill test both and let you know what happens. any suggestion for a good track?

 

[MidFieldMaven]

For extremely slow cars? That's a tough one...Tsukuba's short and somewhat twisty. Should be able to go flat-out all the way.

 

[ERAUfan97]

i think ill try that and indy for pure speed

 

[ERAUfan97]

i really think we should do 2 classes for both races. theres just something about 2 classes that sounds fun

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

i think ill try that and indy for pure speed

My bus goes 51 mph and 85 downhill, pure speed.

 

[ERAUfan97]

thought u told me you got it up to 100+

 

[MidFieldMaven]

I was going through my GT5 pictures and found these gems:

^ What's really creepy is that when I did my Suzuka time trial in GT5 for the Mazda Carol on June 25th, 2013 the time I got was the same 3:53.6 like I can't make this up. I still have the replay saved on GT5 I could boot it up and upload the replay to compare GT5 and GT6 lol pretty sure the tires in GT5 version were not the Sport Hard that I used for GT6 hmm...Oh and the GT5 version has 1 more hp and 1 more ft-lb.
