Curb weight of FC in GT4
 

Accroding to the brochures posted here, the TII S5 weighs 2987 lb (or roughly 1355 kg). Now in Gran Turismo 4, the FC GT-X has a weight of 1260 kg (or roughly 2778 lb). Thoughts? I might've seen other sites on the internet that said TII S5s were around that ...or I could be wrong about that heh.

its a game?

A-Spec and J-spec's have different safety structures and small differences in emmsisions equipment.

Different models had different wheels/seats/interior details.

All/any of those would account for weight differences.


Plus its a game they don't get 100% accuracy.

not to jack your thread but in my door jam it says my gross vehicle weight is 3700 lbs. thats not a typo!

That is for a fully loaded gross weight (with driver, passenger and luggage), not net weight (which would be the 2600-3100 weights (depending on model)).

GT4 is made by a bunch of programers that make a lot of mistakes when it comes to the cars. I'd say they probably just didn't do their homework on it and just guessed, or got a bad number somewhere. Or there could have been a bug in the physics and they squelched it by changing the weights of cars.

Basically, GT4 is a game, it's not real...no matter how fun it is. :bigthumb:

that weight difference looks like the difference between a series 4 or 5 car.

Well, in the whole series they're pretty close - but keep in mind if it has a little (J) next to it, then it's a Jspec trim, which could account for the weight difference. Otherwise you'll also notice things like a 1990 FD Rx7 (it's JSpec) and a 1985 FC (also JSpec). They play pretty true to form though, I love that series, but it's not for everybody, I'll admit that. Biggest help of all time was the ability to change between A Spec and B Spec when you pitstop, so on long races, you can drive a couple dozen laps, then pit and let the computer drive for you while you do something else for a minute - it'll even pit by itself, but don't forget to turn overtake on.

Actually the FD you are referring to is not 1990, its 1991. Yes I know the J means J-Spec. But I haven't read any documented differences between North American S5 TIIs FCs and J-Spec S5 TIIs FCs on this site or anywhere else.

which also means you did not search :D

which also means you guys are retarded for even discussing this. Whats the point?

Well I did search for curb weights...heh.

And you posted in the thread just to point out it's retarded. Does someone need a girlfriend? ;)

As for the weights, they usually research that stuff pretty good, but sometimes they get info from weird models or one-offs or something.

second time today, eh dDub.. haha.

Like what? :confused:

THE only way to know the weight of a vehicle is to actually weight it on calibrated scales, mine weights 2665 lbs. it is an 87 tII , half tank of gas no people in it.
