Ford GT no Stripe Faster??

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

Has anyone noticed how much faster the No stripe is off the line then normal GTs? Is this some sort of physics fail? because the specs are pretty much identical? get back to me.

I think the Ford GT no stripe is faster, but is the normal Standard '05 just as fast?

Stripe=Xtra Weight!

It's a direct port from GT4, it wasn't degraded with new performance physics like the rest. Just an example of PD being lazy.

ohhh, so does it just catch grip faster (less wheel spin) or does it spin just as much but have forward motion earlier?

It spins less in my experience.

I was told it had a slight difference in its powerband so it had better acceleration....*shrugs*

 

[MrFish]

But, but this would be in direct contradiction to the first law of racing physics, which says that stripes make all cars go faster

 

[Furinkazen]

No Stripe is fastest. A chat with some drag racers online confirmed it was... 262mph

 

[SuperVeloce]

Damn, I just bought a 2nd Ford GT with go-faster stripes on

meehhh everyone knows go faster stripes works.

To my knowledge the Ford GT with no stripe has a slightly faster top speed when fully modified than the striped alternatives (premium or standard). Not sure about handling characteristics though.

According to Top Gear, cars with stripes are automatically cool.

Yes.
It's also got a PP advantage on most every car in the game as well.

I find these cars scattered around GT5, all are from GT4 or before.
I suspect the Camaro and Grand Sport Corvette (along with some others) may be from GT1.

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

I do agree with people saying the stripes being there, automatically make the car faster, just like flames do. its proven

The PP advantage I didn't know about.

 

[SkierPS3]

Makes no sense as to why, but I guess that's good because I've got a fully tuned one in my garage.

Yes at the same PP it's not only quicker then other Ford GT's, but it seems most every car in the game that fit into the specified categories.(non racecar, downforce limit)

20% cool
