Difference in new karts?

[Krog]

I noticed that the 125 is more stable, but that's it.

There isn't a '150' though.

The Jr is basically a 100 with the power cut in half and with a different body shell, but the 125 is far divided from the other two technically. Different engine completely + an extra 5 kg, new onboard. Also tends to be the hardest to drive.

Looks more aerodynamic too. (The 125)

Oh oh oh! They all have working lights now!

Which has the best speed?

125, having the most power.

Ok, I just got it to 90mph+

The 125 is based off of a kart that really exists. The others I believe are completely fictional.

Interesting

I always thought the 100 was the fastest.

I'm having a blast in the 125 at Kart Space. Definitely worth 11 bucks.

The 100 is only as fast as the 125 if you can't keep the 125 stable. Otherwise the 125 is the faster kart.

While these karts may be based on real karts in my mind that's visual only. Both the acceleration and sound is off. I drove 100CC direct drive karts for a while and they took off like a tornado even out of tight hairpins and sounded much better than the GT5 karts do. Karts with slipper clutches don't sound all bogged down like the GT5 karts do. The throttle response on the 100's is bad enough, the 125 is terrible and they sound as if they are really struggling until they get near the very top of the rev range.

A shifter would not have been too much. It's what I was expecting with the 125 but once again, PD has dropped the ball.

Yes they are still fun to drive but nothing like the real thing as far as throttle response and sound goes.

I actually thought that the 125 sounded roughly similar to the engine it's based on.
It's about as good as it's going to get for a GT game.

I beg to differ...lol. They got the sound of the Ford GT right didn't they? They can get this right too. But I fear they are just treating it as a novelty, not as serious as the rest of the game..otherwise we'd have a couple of real, outdoor kart tracks.
