Only 170 MPH from stock GT-40?

[DSkywalker01]

Why oh why great overlord Kaz hath you fraught such a restriction on such an amazing classic race car?

An untuneable stock transmission setting keeps it from getting anywhere near it's real life 210 MPH top speed on the Mulsanne Straight or the Daytona High Banks.

Why Kaz... just why?

 

[sparkytooth]

Which GT-40?

 

[Giygas]

I'm not sure if its all of them but only the racecars are quoted at reaching 200 mph.

If you tune the transmission correctly 200 mph might be possible, given the light weight and that the powerband heavily favors higher RPMs.

If you want to go over 200mph simply tune it!!!!!

GT40 road car you mean?

Erich Stahler did it.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

The Ford GT40 Mark I '66?

I hit 160 mph on Suzuka's front straight at the peak of 4th gear. I don't remember if it had a 5th gear, but if it does then it surely touches somewhere around 190-200 mph...

 

[JAHHAJ]

The only Ford GT40 I know of that was claimed to do 200+mph is the GT, and I just tried the '05 on Le Mans '09 no chicanes and got 220 out of it...

Because road car. Not race car.

Yeah and so what if the car doesnt go over 200mph, should the entire world go to church and pray that Kaz puts a update so the car goes 200mph???

Who gives a ....
Its just a game

Competley uselles thread.

If a car goes 200mph in real life, it should do 200mph in GT. While it is a game, this game is supposed to be realistic.

Mine does, well above and beyond. Yours don't?

 

[Furinkazen]

In stock form? errr....

 

[JockeP22]

Sure in stock form. Just paint it in Hellrot and it will do whatever you ask of it.

Except the GT40 Mk 1 Road Car doesn't.

 

[JAHHAJ]

Except the GT40 Mk 1 Road Car doesn't.

I wasn't trying to imply it does, we still don't know which GT40 the thread creator is talking about.

Well only the GT40 Mk1 Road Car has an untuneable gearbox by stock.

MKI GT40s weren't going 210mph, you'd need a MKII for that.

MKI race cars did about 200. MKI road cars were closer to 160/170.

My best lap around Suzuka in a 100% stock-as-hell GT40:

4.7L
354 hp / 6,500 rpm
337 ft-lb / 5,500 rpm
1,080 kg
521 pp



Compare with the "new" GT40:

5.4L
550 hp / 6,500 rpm
501 ft-lb / 4,000 rpm
1,451 kg
567 pp



Only 1.5 seconds between the two.

 

[TurismoBad]

The transmission is correct but the aerodynamics model isn't so it may look like there's unused potential in some cars using stock trans. in GT6 while in reality the car should hit a wall of air and stop accelerating before hitting the limiter.

What does this have to do with the OP's issue?

GT40 road car?

Ford GT40 Mk I (street version), model year 1965, version for North America U.S.
top speed: 276 km/h (172 mph) (theoretical);

They like to mention it at every opportunity. Despite not doing many laps to get a feel for the cars. Quantity over quality.

More like quality AND quantity. Have you even attempted to beat any of my times or bothered to watch my replays? Give the Ford GT(40) a shot. Methinks you're just jealous.

No, you advertise and mention your videos way too much.

Let's see how many times you've mentioned your videos since Sunday last week outside of your video threads:

Bought and tested for the first time this evening...Gave it the business for 24 miles at Suzuka.

2:11.125 on Sport Hard tires is my best time. 2:10 can certainly be done with more practice.

Garage stats:

2.5L
413 hp / 11,500 rpm
217 ft-lb / 7,500 rpm
1,010 kg (2,227 lbs)
524 PP

Verdict: Neither a beater nor a sleeper, obviously because it's a dang RACE CAR.

Sick time, brah!

Alfa Romeo GT 3.2 V6 24V '04
3.2L
227 hp / 6,200 rpm
219 ft-lb / 5,000 rpm
1,347 kg (2,970 lbs)
423 pp
71 hp/L
13.1 lbs/hp

Truthfully, I'd rather drive the

Audi A3 3.2 Quattro '03
3.2L
245 hp / 6,500 rpm
236 ft-lb / 2,500 rpm (compare this with the Alfa's 5,000 rpm!)
1,495 kg (3,296 lbs)
424 pp
77 hp/L
13.45 lbs/hp

The Audi is a few tenths slower overall but has a nice big hatchback and 4WD. If you want something faster, try the Audi TT 3.2 '07 because the last time I tested the TT '03 it was quite a bit slower than the A3.

McClaren, I see your Suzuka lap and raise you mine!



2nd link in my sig shows where this falls in comparison with other cars.

Yeah the GTI is sexy. Somebody post some custom Volkswagen Golf I GTI '76s! I think mine is still stock. Next time I get on I'll upgrade everything lol

Some random real example. Actually this is an '81.

Here's mine, stock + SH tires + no oil change, at Suzuka:

Just tone it down a bit.

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Uh, no. I won't stop posting my replays in the Beater or Sleeper thread, and I'm not sure why you think I should.

Where in my post did I say to stop posting videos in the Beater or Sleeper thread?

You quoted like 3 or 4 posts of mine from that thread...and one quote was from this thread that didn't even include a video wtf?

Stop being jealous and get back on topic. I'm done here.
