Top Gear Test

[ryzno]

Hi , so for the last few months I've gotten a little board with Drag Racing. I recently started watching BBC America and Top Gear and a 💡 came to me. Why not create a Thread that does, weekly reviews of a few cars and get some of 's finest drivers to do the "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car." and also for fun take the Stigs times he ran IRL at Top Gear Track and see how their GT5 counterparts fair.

Now the big question is what car in GT5, is the best comparison to the cars used in the "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" segment?
On the show they used the Kia Cee'd, Suzuki Liana and the Chevy Lacetti.
Through a little testing I have found that 330-340pp cars to get the closest to the times that were run on the show.

So I have found the VW Polo GTI '01 and the Citroen C3 1.6 '02 to be close to real times. I found the Suzuki Swift Sport '07 and the Peugeot 106 S16 '03 to be fun but 5 seconds faster.
The shows to times were between 1:41-1:45
So to sum it up what are your thoughts, to which car in the game is the closest?

I would say the citroen.

A little Googling came up with the specs for the three cars:

Chevy Lacetti Specs:

Length: 177.2 in (4501 mm)
Width: 67.9 in (1725 mm)
Height: 56.9 in (1445 mm)
Engine: 1.6 L, 106 bhp (or equivalent)
Drive: FF

Knowing what they are and what they can do might give you a start on finding a closer match to one of the three.

Could use something equally slow and rubbish - Nissan Primera springs to mind

The SIARPC thing has been done.

A Prius could be tested too. It's in that range more or less.

Oh, well it has been abandoned since August of last year. But I am going more for a overall aspect of the show not just SIARPC.
I was thinking of a leaderboard against the Stigs times and other stuff (car reveiws ect.)

Thanks for the advice guys.
