stats are from www.gtvault.com


I was doing a little EVO comparison, and I noticed that the Mitsubishi EVO VII GSR was quicker than the EVO VI Tommi Makinen Edition, even though the EVO VI T.M.E. is about 40kg lighter, lower to the ground, a bit shorter, and claims to have tuned suspension for tarmac.

The heavier EVO VII GSR (J) ran about .4 seconds faster on the 400m, and gets considerably better times around the track. It seems to me it also has stiffer suspension. In the stats it also has a bit more torque, but I doubt that with these specs it should outperform the T.M.E. I did some research online and everywhere the T.M.E. seems to be a bit faster than the EVO VII GSR,

can someone who knows more about those cars explain this? Does the VII GSR really outperform the VI T.M.E or is this some sort of inaccuracy in GT3???
 
Same with me. However, it would seem that the T.M.E. edition would be faster, because it is a tuned edition of an EVO. Go figure...
 
well strangely enough, the claims made on the description of the cars make the VII seem like the better choice over the VI, it may seem that Polyphony actually accounts for more parameters than just what's listed. :odd: They say the VII is made out of better materials, some aero dynamic improvements etc... so now im really confused :confused:

i guess it would help to see how their real life counterparts compare.


also i noticed the Evo VII RS is cheaper and outperforms the VII GSR w/ more torque, why would the VII GSR be more expensive?
 
I'm really sorry, but had to say it.

Umm... It's because the VII GSR is Yellow!

But seriously, the torque on the GSR is slightly higher, which would give it an advantage off the line. Hence improving it's 400m time.

I'm not sure about the rest of it, other than the suspension may feel better to you, enabling better times.

With such subtle differences in the stats, it's hard to tell where the big difference comes from.

This is because the RS EVO's are lighter than the GSR EVO's. The RS models are a base model with no power anything, no cd or much of anything for a sound system. Sound detoning materials are stripped as well as the trunk carpeting. There is also no A/C in the RS's wich is a good 30 pounds. The RS models weigh almost 200 pounds lighter.

thanks TS1AWD, didn't know that, i guess that explains that.
