I have decided to start a thread to collect data for the top speed of the cars in GT5. To submit data, follow these easy steps:
1) Fully tune the car you wish to collect the top speed of.
2) Practice with it on SPECIAL STAGE ROUTE 7 until you have the car within 300km-5000km on its virtual Odometer. (186 miles+) Or Skip this step if this is already done.
3) Oil Change it.
4) Bring it back to SPECIAL STAGE ROUTE 7 (in arcade mode preferably, you can use and tune the car without putting more km on it) turn Skid Recovery Force off and floor the pedal to the metal, record the highest speed you obtain without drafting. If you are able to collect the top speed of the car while drafting on SSR7 online record & submit that also.
Tips for achieving the highest speeds:
1) Have your camber for your wheels at 0.
2) If you hear your engine revving out (Hitting the max revolutions on your last gear) set your custom transmission to a reasonably high achievable speed for your car, and then modify the last gear (usually gear 6) to an even greater speed - within reason. This is tricky if you're starting out but there is a balance where you will achieve the greatest speed.
3) Tighten your suspension. If you don't know how to do this, try reading the tips in GT5 or experimenting with what works best, or use default suspension if you're really afraid to be in this menu.
4) Reduce downforce in the Body/Chassis > Aerodynamics settings. (Not an option for some cars)
Smuttysy or I will modify the Google Doc's entries as the data is collected. Submit either on this thread or by PM or email, with the subject "Top Speed" to: creativesenses@hotmail.com
With the format:
Car: Car Name
Top Speed:
Top Speed (Drafting):
Extras, for Google Docs (Please make an effort to collect this);
PP Min/Max: *
Aero Front Min/Max:
Aero Rear Min/Max:
Additional Notes: (i.e. High-RPM Turbo or Supercharger - if both were available, which were you using?)
*(To find PP Min, put full ballast, lowest aerodynamics and power limiter to lowest possible setting. To find the max; take off ballast, put full aerodynamics and set power limiter to 100%)
If you are concerned about speeds posted by users, you may ask them for a proof screenshot if necessary. Please contribute if you can!
Update; June 10th, 2011: Added the Google Docs version
Update; July 5th, 2011: Only the Top 23 are listed, the rest can be found in the Google Docs version
Update; Sept 16th, 2011: Added news about 1.12 physics change
News:__________________________________________________________________________
As of patch 1.11 or 1.12 some cars (apparently cars with strong rear downforce) are able to lift off their front wheels to gain a considerable amount of top-end speed. Some of the speeds listed that have been taken as early as patch 1.08 will most likely be incorrect due to this physics change. Smuttysy has put a lot of work into finding the values thus far and so these speeds are somewhat still relevant. We had noticed a physics change but we couldn't quite figure out what it was until it was brought to my attention that the X2010 can gain an extra 25~30mph using this new physics. I personally hope there's a patch that changes the physics to reflect what this will actually do to the car, or they set it back to normal but until then I guess I have no choice but to accept 1.12 speeds. These however wont be posted and instead kept in a text file in case it is patched because I don't feel like changing values for PD to just re-patch the game with the old physics. If by December these new physics are still operational I may consider releasing the top speeds as legitimate.
