Then how does the Amuse S2000 GT1 move its 1180kg ass? It also has no displacement from a DOHC L4. If there is no displacement, then how does 535hp get created at no RPM?
You read that exactly the way you are reading the downforce. Check out the
Amuse S2000 GT1 for yourself. Should explain lots.
Edit: <insert joke about Hondas not having torque here>
<Joke Inserted. Probably no torque because of the bike-heritage>
It is simply "untested". Just like on many cars. However, I'd like that to be changed too. I want to know how much power my car has, what drivetrain it is, and how much torque it produces. I have many cars in my garage, where even the drivetrain is a "--" (what's this? no engine to no wheels?)
But concerning the downforce - try it yourself. You'll see 'em slip and slide alot more than a car with downforce.
EDIT: Just remmembered something I'd REALLY like to see in GT4. Could even be that it's been said, or that even I said it. But I want a more detailed B-spec mode.
Something like being able to tell the driver to automatically pit earlier/later - say, every 1 lap of the 'ring (on R3s with the PD Formula), instead of every 2.
Also, being able to sit around and think of new suspension-setups for the car while he drives, and then, the crew will change it (at the cost of some extra time).
I'd also love to be able to tell him more things than just general altitude and overtaking: I want to tell him, take this corner easy (like that hairpin in Opera Paris, where the AC 427 always crashes in 1000 Miles!), push it on this one, stick to the AI here, when to draft and where, what he should be aware of, and where he shouldn't overtake. Of course, this could all be optional - if you don't want it, just tell him a general speed (like in GT4) and the PS3 will figure everything out for you.
Plus, it'd be nice if they'd teach him more sophisticated tecniques of overtaking. I'm getting sick of having a good car for him, and loosing just because he can't overtake on this straight/curve, because he always takes the perfect line - and crashes into the AI. Then he tries to overtake from the side, but he's never smart enough to do this...
