I've recently started to play GT3 again after a long break. I never noticed the BIG differences is the FF before.
I love the Xsara FF Rally Race Car. I use it a lot in the game, and love to use it in the FF races. Yes, it's a bit overkill, but I like what I like.
However, using this car in the Professional FF Race yields much different race times. I knew that there was some difference, like I'm sure you guys realize, but not as large as it is.
For example, I can race the Xsara, bone stock, in the Pro FF Race on the Deep Forest II course, and get a lap time of at least 1:19. By the end of three laps, I will be at least 17 seconds ahead of the next fastest vehicle. But on the Amature FF race for Deep Forest, I can get a lap time of at least 1:18, but at the end of three laps, I'm only 1.5 seconds ahead of the next fastest vehicle. By the end of the 5 lap race, I can only beat the group of cars that I race against by only 2 seconds!
Now that is a BIG difference. I guess PD mixed up the "catch up" power of the Amature FF Race for the Professional one.
Oh, something else I just noticed. I want to know what cars actually reset the rev limiter when you purchase the engine balancing. Notice what it describes? The only car that will actually let you rev the engine at a higher RPM is the Nissan Z Concept once the engine balancing has been purchased. It will change only slightly. I think it hits the rev limiter at 7,600 RPM normaly, and changes to 7,750 after engine balancing is performed.
Not much change, and probably not much to make a difference, but maybe other vehicles have a much higher rev limiter reseting point. Know any?
