Would you mind comparing notes on real cars for experiencing in GT5.

Mods please don't lock this thread, it's to do with GT5 so no reason to.Just thinking to make GT5 less of a game & as close to real life, would you mind giving your 2p on your real life car experiences.This might just help for GT5 or maybe GT6.

My personal car :

Subaru Impreza STI 555 4dr ( with roof vent ) + factory STI suspension ( previously Scoobysport coil overs ), full HKS competition exhaust system ( no cats ).

With STI suspension on, it's not harsh or unforgiving in any way, it's firm yet you can turn quickly on dry roads & won't unsettle itself.However when you come to a tight bend the suspension stiffens up & that + the chassis the Scooby then begins to behave like a rally car.No traction control or abs fitted, so careful not to hit puddles on a roundabout, or the rear will slide around more than you would expect.

Now for the driving experience

From a standstill the acceleration is not smooth, it's hesitant in the low revs so getting it to drive without hesitation is the key here.There is a fair chunk of torque from below 4k revs too.At 4,500 revs that is when the turbo comes in, & you can hear it winding up.So @ 4,500 revs all the torque the engine can muster, is there to push you along until you reach 6,000 revs and then it's party time.Depending on which model of Scoobies, like the Type R for example the gear ratio is very close together (4,500 revs @ 70 mph in 5th is not unheard of in the Scooby world ).I wouldn't mind if PD could include the different noises & drones you get from different performance exhausts, into the interior that get soaked up by seats etc.

Here is a Scooby vs Vette video, notice the tyre screeching PD 👍 & that is how both cars should sound ( in interior & engine, exhaust system etc ), if they are in GT5.The exhaust, fitted to the Impreza isn't standard factory parts.

Well, if it were an RB5, 22B, RB320, WR1 or even 330S, then I would have been impressed. Never the less, I fail to see the point in this topic.
 
To be honest i think this is a decent topic !

I currently own a mitsubishi fto gpx mivec (gt favourite lol) and to be honest they have the car pretty much to a tee, the only thing the games fto misses is the sound of the mivec system kicking in at 5500rpm as on the real thing it is very noticeable.

Heres what i mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mwWQhSzixc listen for it kicking in :)

Sure hope they put the fto in gt5 ;)
 
To be honest this just sounds like you want to brag about your car
Yep, agree entirely - this has absolutely nothing at all to do with GT5. I've got a reasonably nice car, understated, but comfy and fast enough when I want a bit of poke. I just see cars like the scooby as a "poor-man's Porsche", and not particularly nice to look at either.

Just the other day I was driving home on a 70mph dual carriage way, doing about 75 with the flow of traffic in the inside lane. I could see this blue car coming up behind me and then he shot past, only to slam on and whip into the inside lane when he noticed the police car further up... Yeah, real clever, even my mums little Clio can do over 100.
 
To be honest this has nothing at all to do with GT5, its not going to influence or change any GT release at all and we already have more than enough discussion threads on cars (including those you own) in the Automotive sub-forum.

So this one does get locked.
