The Poly 001 is more powerful and aerodynamic than the 002...it gives you 820 odd horsepower compared to 7** from the 002..

this depends on the state of your oil....
 
yeh hey!

The main reason ill stay @ these forums is..

i want to learn to drift like some of you guys here, ive seen the recorded vids.. some are very very kool:D
 
Welcome to GTPlanet. Let me suggest you try the Search button near the top of your screen, and also take a good look at the index page to see how many specialty boards there are on this forum, like the Drifters Only board. In particular, check out the Read This: threads. Enjoy your stay and learn a lot.

are you sure..?

i dont have the 002, i only have the 001 but i am sure they differ in HP....

get Bollocks or Sandstorm or Famine (all pal users) in here right now..i want to know..:confused:
 
The most important difference is that the handling of the 001 is a lot better than 002:s, And it's possible that they almost have the same power, don't remember.

Anyway in the F1 series AI 002 always gets lapped by the AI 001.
 
Stock, the P001 has 790hp to the P002's 789hp. With an oil-change under their belts, both cars have 829hp.
 
cheers famine....

i dont have the 002 but when competing the the Formula GT Champs, the 001s always pull away from the 002s leaving a huge gap.....why is that if they have the same power and presumably capable of similar types of speed...?

there is a noticable difference in the body work between the two cars...and the 001 looks more like a true life F1 car...is that why it is faster?

i always assumed the 001 were more powerful than the 002.:)
 
I did not know that...:odd: I thought they had different bhp...like TS, how come the 001 always seems to be better at everything? Is it because it's NA (no turbo lag)?
 
The biggest reason that makes the 001 faster is that it can go faster in the corners than the 002. Downforce, grip, handling, weight distrigution, center of gravity, whatever...
 
umm, super speed way enduro race, escudo pikes peak car, elastic band trick..

then when it comes time to win a car, press x once, pretty quickly as the thing starts, the polyphony car is one of the first to be highlighted by the revolving thingo magig ..
 
Thanks dude, will give it a try, where can I find the exact procedures for the elastic band thing ? I know you have to change throttle to the analog stick as well ...
 
Yeah, I won the Escudo by finishing the Rally races. I am 72% done, all I still need to do is all the Professional League races (ALL of them !), and endurance races.

By the way, I see the Time Trial's in Arcade also count towards the overall %, but damn ! Some of those are friggin hard !!! :banghead:
 
errr...two common misconceptions about this post....first..

pressing X to chose a prize car doesnt work...

and second

you dont need the Escudo to win this race...although it helps..

you can win it with virtually any decent car...
 
nah when the thing goes around, and u hit x on it, acouple of times while its spinning , you get it..

thats how ive been doing it, and i can get any of the 4 cars i want.

well well my friend....i have tried this exhaustively and it doesnt work...you're just lucky....

this has been discussed over and over and although you get some 'hardcore' believers...its never been proven....

i am firmly of the belief that it does work on some peoples consoles(thats why they are so adamant that it works) but it sure as hell dont work on mine....


'i am firmly of the belief'....is that even proper grammar?

anyway...it dont work....just like putting ketchup in your whisky...it dont work....
 
The P001 has smaller dimensions - specifically the overall width and track (tread...) of the car - this gives it a significant aerodynamic advantage over the P002 - it equates to roughly 10 km/h in top speed on the Test Course.

After that - your guess is as good as mine. The 2000 extra revs HAVE to help though.

Don't bring this up again...please. :p
 
alright this may sound stupid, but wtf is the polyphony 001?? everyone keeps talking about it and it sounds like a good car to try to get, but i mean is that its real name? or is it just a nickname for something else? plz help me on this one
 
It's not in the PAL version if thats what you've got, we've got the Polyphony FW's instead of the 00's, they're the f1 type cars.
 
It depends if you've got a PAL copy, Japanese copy or NTSC copy. If you live in Europe it's probably PAL but anywhere else iprobably won't be, the 001 isn't in the PAL version, but FW cars are, the FW cars arn't in any other versions. There are 6 Polyphony 00 cars but only 2 Polyphony FW cars, also the NTSC and Japanese versions get the Diablo, I thin the PALversion was hard done by.
 
i live in north america, and i cant get the diablo gt, so i guess that means i have the ntsc copy...i think. but i still have no idea wtf the polyphony cars are, and last time i checked i can only get the normal f094/h or whatever they're called, so does that mean i cant get the polyphony ones?
 
The Polyphony 001 is the F094/S. The Polyphony 002 is, I believe, the F090/H, or maybe one of the 6-cyl. cars. I'll leave that as an excercise for the student.
