You may have noticed, that many cars in gt4 look remarkably similar, but do they handle in the same way?
In these tests i aim to find out. I will also have a guess on which car will win, if not a draw.
I will test each car in four ways:
1) 1000 meter drag race on test course
2) Nose to nose torque test (like a tug of war, but pushing eachother instead of pulling)
3) Time trial on motor land
4) Time trial on Trial Mountain
Rules for 1000 meter drag race
Distances between cars must be more than a tyre's length to be classed as 2nd place, less than a tyre's length means a draw.
Rules for nose to nose torque test
The distance of 100m means a win for the pushing car
Rules for time trial on motor land
Times are considered no matter how small the difference
Cars will not be modified in any way whatsoever, this includes tires, ride height ect.
Rules for time trial on Trial Mountain
Times are considered no matter how small the differance
Cars will not be modified in any way whatsoever, this includes tires, ride height ect.
Cars will be driven on B-spec mode, number 3 at all times.

Opel Vectra vs Vauxhall Vectra
vs 
Test 1 - 100m drag
Both cars were lined up next to each other, as close as possible.
I held accelerate and brake together for 5 second on each car, then released brake.
At first, the Opel was ahead, but by the 100m mark, the Vauxhall had caught up.
It was neck and neck, until the Vauxhall changed into 4th gear, and shot ahead, with the Opel trailing behind. By the time the cars reached the 1000m mark, the gap had grow to 50m, with the Vauxhall up ahead.
Test 2 - Torque push
Both cars were lined up nose to nose at a 50m mark, in between the 1000 and 900m marks
Again, I held accelerate and brake together for 5 second on each car, then released brake.
For the first few seconds, nothing moved, but gradually, the Vauxhall pushed the Opel backwards, at a speed around 3mph. Within about 15 seconds, the Opel was over the 900 line, signifying a win for the Vauxhall.
Test 3 - Time trial on Motor Land
The Vauxhall was tested first.
I drove it, on A-Spec mode, 10 times around Motorland.
My result: Session Record 0'52.902
The Opel was tested next.
Within 3 laps it had smashed the Vauxhall's record
By the end of the 4th lap, it' record was 0'52.268.
Test 4 - Time trial on Trial Mountain
The Vauxhall, again, went first.
I drove it 10 times around the circuit, with a record of 1'58.580
The Opel went next
By the 2nd lap, the Opel had broken the Vauxhall's record, and had a record of 1'57.224
By lap 4, the Opel had reached 1'54.024.
Overview
Wins for Vauxhall = 2
Wins for Opel = 2
The Vauxhall is quicker in a straight line, but the Opel seems to hold it's own on circuits.
The two are pretty much the same.

Pontiac GTO vs Holden Monaro
vs 
Test 1 - 1000m drag
Both cars were started in the usual way - revving them and releasing brake.
Starting off, the two were neck and neck, it looked as though this race was going to be a draw, even the engine noises were the same sound, and gears were changing at the same time.
But the pontiac slowly crept ahead, then changed gear and shot off ahead.
By the 1000m mark, the gap was about 50m between the two cars.
Test 2 - Torque push
Both cars were placed nose to nose over a 50m mark - in between the 1000m and 900m marks.
Both cars were revved and released.
Nothing moved, both cars stayed exactly where they were, but slowly, the Pontiac was pushing the Holden backwards.
Eventually, the Pontiac managed to push the Holden all the way to the 1000m mark.
Test 3 - Time trial on Motorland
The Pontiac went first.
In 10 laps it managed to get a record of 0'47.415
The Holden went next.
In 10 laps it managed to get a record of 0'47.520
I think this, however, can probably be called a draw.
Test 4 - Time trial on Trial Mountain
The Pontiac was driven first on Trial Mountain for 3 laps.
Lap 1 gave result : 1'48.448
Lap 2 gave result : 1'47.939 - fastest
Lap 3 gave result : 1'48.220
The Holden was also given 3 laps
Lap 1 gave result : 1'48.118 - quicker than the Pontiac's lap 1
Lap 2 gave result : 1'47.866 - fastest yet
Lap 3 gave result : 1'48.027 - quicker than Pontiac's lap 1 & 2
Overview
Pontiac wins : 2
Holden's wins : 1
The Pontiac is slightly quicker than the Holden.

Isuzu 117 coupe vs Isuzu Bellett 1600 GT-R
Test 1 - Drag race on Test Course
Both cars were prepared in the normal way - revved and released.
From the start it was obvious that the 117 Coupe was quicker, it overtook the Bellet, and carried on to finish 50m away from it's competititor.
Test 2 - Torque push
Both cars were lined up in the usual way.
First, the Bellet pushed the 117 coupe back slightly, but gradually, the coupe pushed the Bellet all the way to the 900m line.
Test 3 - Time trial on Motor Land
The 117 went first.
In ten laps, it couldn't beat 0'54.954.
The Bellet went after.
In ten laps it's best was 0'55.141 - just missing the 117's.
However, it did feel much slower than the 117 around the circuit.
Test 4 - Time trial on Trial Mountain
117 went first.
Lap 1 gave result : 2'00.031
Lap 2 gave result : 1'59.206
Lap 3 gave result : 1'59.601
The Bellett went next
Lap 1 gave result : 2'01.359
Lap 2 gave result : 2'00.471
Lap 3 gave result : 2'01.049
Overview
The 117 coupe has won 4 times
The Bellet has not won anything.
The Bellet is slower than the 117 coupe, and does not handle as well
That concludes today's tests, which took me around 2 Hours, so the next race will be held tomorrow, or later on tonight.
Don't forget to request a car to appear on this list, and remember, it's not just cars that look the same that can appear in this list, it's cars with the same tech specs.
*******New rule*********
I decided that I should make one of the time trials more acurate, so ...
The trial mountain time trial's record will now be found using b-spec mode, not a-spec, and the pace selector will be set on number 3 at all times.
These rules have been used since the Pontiac/Holden race.

I decided that these lap times will be put into a table, and will be set against the average lap time for a car of that horsepower and type. E.g The Toyota Corolla will be set against a Ford focus st170.

off the top of my head im not sure how they compare power wise but it would be cool to see.
