Maximum horsepower loss experiment

[hilley69]

I have 2 FGTs without duping, one is kept up and the other is my test bed. I am trying to find the maximum horsepower that can be lost in GT5 for this vehichle. I started out with 935hp, and now i have driven the car over 20,000miles, the horsepower is now down to 798hp. Anyone know how much more im going to lose?

If you kept track of car mileage and maximum engine power you could have estimated a power loss curve over time. That would have been interesting.

That is the conclusion of our experiment! LOL! That would have been interesting, indeed! :|

40,000 miles - -274hp
80,000 miles - -548hp
160,000 miles - -1096hp

^very basic math

 

[Anxyous]

40,000 miles - -274hp
80,000 miles - -548hp
160,000 miles - -1096hp

^very basic math

That's with linear regression, a method I highly doubt will work!

Are you sure it doesn't have a ceiling for the amount of lost BHP? As Anxyous said, it probably isn't linear (the loss probably slows down over time).

Thus the 300k+ km cars (more than 160k miles) have still enough power to start.

With negative horsepower, will my car go backwards when I drive forwards?

So if you drove the FGT enough, it would be overtaken by a stock VW beetle? That i'd have to see!

 

[FULL_THROTTLE]

Got a X1 (started and duped 1510bhp) with 1450bhp and its already had one engine rebuild

 

[mattrules161]

I've managed to put an x2010 to 1326hp needing oil change rebuild

One of my FGTs had been abused heavily, and is now down to 811hp. Not sure how low it will go, but I'm interested in finding out.

Meanwhile, I've gotten an X2010 down to 1310hp. I chickened out, though, and rebuilt it at that point, for fear it might actually explode on me.

Great quote man, it reminds me of something that Jeremy Clarkson would say on Top Gear.... Ya know, "and now a Top Gear top tip: So if you drove the FGT enough, it would be overtaken by a stock VW beetle. .........

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good idea! maybe the OP did track the power loss more closely than at start an end?

 

[blaaah]

I have a Nascar down to 787bhp.

My toyota 7 had lost about 100 brake before I found out about oil changes and rebuilds. llthe cars in my garage were getting worn out and down on power!

I've never tried a chassis rebuild though.

 

[fest0r]

I have a vettel x1 with 28,000 miles / 1543bhp after rebuild and a vettel with 57,150 miles / 1525bhp after rebuild and 1311bhp before
