I can't believe PD still have not fixed the Camaro SS '10 weight distribution 47/53 why is it wrong should be 52/48 makes no since in GT 5 it could be corrected with weight reduction stage 1 now it can't be corrected it needs partched:mad:
 
Toyota AE86 also has incorrect weight distribution, what is even more odd is that it's changed from GT5, it used to be 60/40 it's now 58/42 and in reality it is 53/47.

I'm sure there are many other cars that have incorrect data :(.

That's odd:confused:
 
I've come across countless cars in my stock time trials that have incorrect hp/torque/rpm's beore or after purchase. There's no excuse for it. If the info for a car specifies a certain power output, then the specs should match, but often the cars require an oil change or reducing power % to make them close to real-life specs...I never considered that the weight distribution would be off as well.

Whoever did the research on these cars needs to be fired. I'll take over.
 
Is it possible that due to the HEAVY influence weight distribution has in the physics engine that those distributions were intentionally made incorrect in order to have these key vehicles handle in a fashion more similar to their real-life counterparts?

I just ask because adding ballast to make them go to 50/50, or even their "real" distribution, has a big influence on their handling characteristics.

Likely how this works is pd plug in a series of spec for a car, runs a simulation/physics tool, then fine tunes. But if they reverse or others are wrong with their input then it will spit out a physics model based on it...

With so many cars these mistakes are bound to happen and I wouldn't assume everyone in QA knows or is knowledgable enough to catch every instance of this.

But, that one should be very obvious and ill bet it gets corrected and the car will feel completely different.

Btw, is there any way to check a cars weight distribution when the fuel tank is low?

after trying to get the Camaro SS '10 to correct weight distribution 52/48 1721kg is only possible should be 1751kg but that is 30kg lighter than it should be :banghead:
 
Request to anyone who has a 2010 SS:

Does the GT6 version feel closer to real life with stock weight distribution, a copy of the real life distribution, or something else?

I only have access to a '67, a '94 z25, and the 50th anniversary ss. Still missing the new SS =( Maybe this summer...

There are a lot of games out there that use an imperfect model to approximate real life and end up having to do some wonky stuff to make it reasonable (Like Call Of Duty having bullet spray in a square instead of a circle for instance, or all the "ragdoll" physics that make 100kg bodies fly around like a plastic bag.)

There are cars where it's clear they intentionally fudged numbers to make them compete at a certain level (LMP cars), but for weight distribution I don't think it is anything beyond neglecting to check their work. There are some cars that suffered greatly from it (like the two Mustangs), and if anything the Camaro is much faster than it should be.
 
I don't know if they're "suffering" or "realistic". I've driven a few high end (read: high power) mustangs: Shelby Cobra, Rousche Stage 3, GT350, Hertz GT500. I have a '68 right now, and had a '67 and '69 prior.

Trust me, you touch the go fast pedal, and you're sideways or spinning. Drop to 4th gear on the highway and you're smoking tires. Gas powered smoke and noise machines, lol. These cars with 600+hp and street tires are a handful in real life, and a whole lot more terrifying.

They did miss the "skip-chirp-spin" those live axle 'Stangs are known for.
