Ford GT {No Stripe} '05 or Ford GT '06?

[stix45]

Hey Everyone

Just wondering and asking which Ford GT is better?
I have the No Stripe and the premium Ford GT but
when i drive them their pretty much the same.

{Also voth are fully customized}

I think the premium has more handling capabilities, then the no stripe, but the no stripe has a lot more power, so I guess it would just depend on what you are using it for? But if u go outside those two, personally the Gran Turismo Ford GT Test car (I believe it's called, the premium one) it is a excellent Ford for racing, and there is also the '02 Ford GT Concept, it's the same power as the no stripe but I believe has like 50 more ft/lbs of torque. But I would like to stress that this is my personal experience and opinion, you might have better luck tuning a no stripe for racing then I did lol.

The 05 no stripe when tuned is by far the better car, doesnt understeer as much as the others.
Powerwise there isnt a great deal between them.
The 02 isnt a concept its the prototype, my facourate of the road GT fords but does need a good setup to stop the understeer.

The 05 striped and no striped do handle differently.

The 06 is available as a choice with or without stripes and all 06 cars are the same.

Stick this build on your No Stripe and see how much you like the car 👍

The no stripe has more power and better handling.

I acknowledged your opinion, I was stating mine - and you can test both the cars yourself and see that the No Stripe is better stock and fully modified.

In stock condition:

The "No Stripe" has the exact same specs on paper than the Striped '05, but it has 4 PP more (which is quite a lot for the "same" car).

It is faster in a straight line (reaches about 5 km/h more), but the same in corners.

Why? No idea.

Since every evidence says that PPs in GT5 are calculated with a formula that takes power, torque, weight and aerodynamics into account, this would indicate that the difference lies in the engine's torque curve, but peak power and torque seem to be the same. Go figure.

It's entirely possible that the car having 4 more PP's might have the same amount of torque, but at a higher rpm compared to the other car, or having the same maximum torque, but it's slightly stronger over a wider range.. So it's possible that the car with 4 more pp's have the same maximum torque and Bhp, but the powerband might be slightly wider.

In like:
550 Nm of torque @ 4000 rpm is only half the power (bhp) compared to 550 Nm of torque @ 8000 rpm's.
Torque is nothing without revs.
It's of huge importance where in the rev spectra the torque is delivered. 👍

Engine A:
400 Nm @ 2500 rpm, 600 Nm @ 5500 rpm (Max torque)

Engine B:
250 Nm @ 2500 rpm, 600 Nm @ 5500 rpm (Max torque)

Both engines have the same Maximum torque and the same maximum Bhp, but engine A delivers a stronger powerband (which the PP calculation do take in to concideration) due to the higher torque lower in the rev spectra, and produce therefore more power earlier..

Exactly my opinion. One of the parameters is the integral of the whole torque curve. The difference in the torque curves is not instantly obvious though, but it's not like you can go back and forth and would see a difference right away, even if it was there.

But the evidence suggests that this is the only explanation.
