Specs

[Classic Anycar]

How about these changes for the specs?

1. Imperial and Metric specs
2. "cubic centimeters" replaced with "liters"
3. 0-60 and 1/4 mile now listed

1.)If they're displayed simultaneously, then no. Having the option to change between kg's/ lbs. would be nice, tho.

2 & 3: That'd be a nice change.

How about they get the torque conversions right this time? Seeing that a car has 12.3 lb-ft of torque and 350 hp makes me laugh.

it sounds good

It makes me sad and curious as to how the math works over there, how do they ever know what the HP is on a car? it'd take a lot of rpm's to get that much HP out of 12.3 ft-lbs of torque

I'd be interested to see the 0-60 times, its something missing that i've never actualy thought about. Lets hope eh?

But seriously, it would be pretty sweet.

0-60 times aren't posted probably because it was a measure created by American journalists which in turn spilled over to the American car manufacturers. I know this because I've done some JDM tuning to a couple of cars that I've actually owned. When puchasing a JDM transmission for the one of my vehicles I learned that 95% of cars in the U.S. have a gear ratio that ends at 60 mph (usually 1st or
2nd gear) while the JDM or European counterparts have longer gear ratios simply because 0-60 is not a great concern for buyer's in those markets. But getting back to the point of the thread - yes 0-60 & 1/4 mile times would be a handy bit of info

The "Benchmark" function found in Forza is something along the lines of what I would like to find in the next GT. It gives a very simple calculation of 0-60, 0-100, braking distances and g-forces. Besides that, there isnt much I would transfer from Forza.

I forget what they messed up, but it was just a simple conversion error, and why they didn't fix it in GT4 is beyond me.

Can't you already change between kgs and lbs and Liters, CCs and CID? I thought the unit configuration was at least that complete, it's just power, torque, and velocity though?

Hmm, where did I read about that? <googles> Ah, here it is. Good article, thanks for an excuse to bring it up.

Must be a Honda.

I would like to see weight to power ratios of cars and the sizes of wheels and tires. I think it would help alot in showing the performance and grip of the car.

 

[amar212]

I'd prefer that 0-100, top-speed or any other data like time per particulat circuit to be added after you have truly driven those.

In other words, to make 0-100 test to gain that data, to run QM for QM listed, to run the car for top-speed being listed and so on.

 

[Fusha4u]

^^ There's a great idea - Missing info fills itself in after you perform a corresponding test (i.e. 0 - 60 is N/A but after running a 400 m test it fills itself in). Keeping you up to date on how the car in question performs.

3. 0-60 and 1/4 mile now listed

1. Don't they already do this?
2. This is an easy conversion. (5692cc=5.7L)(2039cc=2.0L) Very simple.
3. 0-60 would be nice but would many of you people really care? And for the 1/4 mile, if you like to drag, drag it to find out.

 

[SagarisGTB]

to #3, no no no no.
0-60 is not a measurement like power, torque, lengh, weight or displacement, its a number given in a test my a magazine or whatnot. It varies dependant on weather, elevation, etc. If you want to know your 0-60, take your car to the machine test at test course and pause when your car hits 60mph and voila, youve got a number.

That being said, i would like to see some more data analysers. Like after a 0-400m run, the gam,e would give you some graphs, a 0-60 time etc. Also, some braking tests, slaloms and skidpads would be a nice addition to the machine test section. You run it yourself (or bob if your lazy) and the game picks up data and you can see it, or even sends it to your garage to comapre your modded cars there.

I would just like to see how fast the car goes before I buy it to see if I'm buying the right car. Perhaps a top speed feature would be nice.

1. I want pounds, not kilograms
2. I just thought it would be simpler. I'd also like cars to be measured in feet, not inches

 

[YSSMAN]

Well, since GT seems to allied with Motor Trend these days, shouldnt they use some of their figures when talking about some of the cars in the game?

 

[VVENOM800TT]

How are they allied with Motor Trend?

I would like to know where you got that info, but it would make sense to use some of these auto magazines for a data accumulation. I mean they've been around for decades and have test data on thousands of factory production models, specs, pics and so, on.

 

[Disturbed07]

He's probly talking about all the GT4 related articles in Motor Trend, as there have been many.
