These GT-R R32's have the incorrect weight.

No they don't. 1430 was the weight of the original car. As the R32 was improved over time (mostly chassis stiffness increases and beefed up drivetrain) the weight only went up from there.

Strange... The GT Concept '02

Real life Pictures:

In white colour, the lines are readed as "GT40".

But in yellow colour, the lines are readed as "FORD GT".

In GT6, the lines are also readed as "FORD GT" in both colours.

Mini One '02

In real life, this car only came with a 1.4L engine but GT6 lists it as 1,598 cc

No Suzuka, the displacement of Mini One '02 is right. The One '02 has 1598cc in real life.

See the specifications regarding this car:
http://www.webcarstory.com/tech.php?id=42371
http://www.automobile-catalog.com/car/2002/1752125/mini_one.html

This Mini One '02 has 1.6L engine, not the 1.4L in real life.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Looks like they could be had in either 1.4 or 1.6

I'm seeing tons of 1.4 Mini One's for sale online. Here's one: http://www.gumtree.com/p/mini/mini-...onth-mot-drives-like-new-p-x-welco/1096015034

Again, the tagline in GT6 dealership even says it's a 1.4L but if you look underneath that, it says 1,598 cc.

This car of 1.4 Mini One is from 2008 version. (The facelift)

What tagline of dealership you mean?

 

[MidFieldMaven]

http://www.carscoops.com/2010/01/2010-mini-launched-14-liter-petrol.html

"2010 MINI Launched, 1.4-Liter Petrol Replaced by New 1.6-Liter"

If you go into Mini dealer, the scrolling text on the bottom of the screen says the Mini One '02 is powered by a 1.4L

 

[MidFieldMaven]

You're right, it's a 1.6L and GT6 is wrong about labeling it as a 1.4L

The only 1.4L engine available for the 2001-2006 Mini was a diesel.

@Harsk100 re: Ford GT Concept:

Ford changed the name of the car retroactively after they lost their bid to call the production car GT40. It's not right, but it legally can't be right.

VW Polo GTI and Lupo GTI both advertise 123 hp in the dealership but 114 hp in the garage! WTF!

Horsepower fluctuations/jumps between dealership to garage happens, bub, since the very first game. I don't think that's a big deal.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

I do think it's a big deal. GT is supposed to be realistic. 114 hp from a car that should have 123 hp is unacceptable.

 

[Tornado]

Is that post-oil change?

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Is that post-oil change?

No, the 114 hp is post-purchase. Shouldn't have to perform oil change to get the right hp. What the dealer says is what the garage should say, and for most cars it is that way.

Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 '85 (Road Car):

This car is labeled as 1985 while the Road Car was in production in 1984 and the road version was not in production in 1985. So, the year is 1984, not 1985.

The 4WS Celica does NOT have 4WS and I guess the Carina doesn't either. (4 Wheel Steering) I wasted my money on that car...

They were most likely built in 1984 and sold as 1985-year models.

Strange...

Lotus Motorsport Elise has an incorrect power:

GT6:
200 HP (203 PS)

Real Life:
246 HP (250 PS)

 

[HDT Commodore]

That's annoying, it's a great looking car. Too bad it's slower than it should be. I'm almost certain it was 200 BHP in GT3 too.

Yes, it is 200 BHP in GT3.

Not sure if someone has mentioned it here but in the DMC dealership it says the DeLorean is a 2004 when it is a 1981...

 

[Tornado]

Where are you getting 250 HP from? There are problems with the Motorsport Elise, like not having modeled front downforce and possibly having the wrong seating position, but the car used the same engine as the Sport 190 with a more open exhaust and intake.

The S2 performance kit was first announced in 2004.

I got the 250 HP information from WebcarStory.

 

[Tornado]

The same website that said the R32 GT-R was 1340kg?

That site is off.. GT is accurate.

(Okay, okay, I know, this isn't a freakin' imageboard!)

And BMW M5 weighing less than a BMW M3.

I really suspect Harsk has a conflict of interest with WCS, given that he always links to it when posting car specs, in here or in the Suggestions forum. WCS is related to IMCDB and IGCD and according to a Google Doc I saw, I found he "worked" for IMCDB until he was banned from contributing for posting "music videos without images".

Also, once again, regarding the R390 Road Car, the Nissan Heritage Collection page says 350 PS.

I'm not in conlict with WCS. I like WCS, although it has some mistakes.

Thanks for pointing out my mistake, I'm getting mixed up with the original DeLorean. Thanks for the clear up.

Not 1981, it is 2004. The S2 was a kit which was made in 2004.

 

[RACECAR]

While this amazingly doesn't have every single car, I find it to be a far better reference then WCS.

It actually does have 200 HP in real life.
