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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
