I did notice the Bug seemed a little too heavy when I was looking through the stats, but as long as it handles like a dream, I don't mind.

I did notice the Bug seemed a little too heavy when I was looking through the stats, but as long as it handles like a dream, I don't mind.

Imagine what it would handle like when it lost a few stone, in fact a very significant amount.
 
Car should be 739KG.

And I tried that wheelie stunt in GT5 but it cant wheelie even with max weight on rear with ballast.
 
Spent some time tuning it, it's a fun car, but it should be quicker. I used PD's weight to calculate the spring rate and it seems to work great. I'm going to build another one using the actual weight to see if that makes a difference.
 
This isn't the first time PD has screwed up auto weight. The Lamborghini Miura weighs at least 700 pounds less than it should, the Volvo 240 weighs at least 1000 pounds too much :scared:, and apparently the Pontiac GTO and the old Camaro are both too light. Oh, Polyphony and your many inconsistencies and wrong numbers.

The main problem doing this currently is that when modded fully the car has a really bad power curve.

Almost make me think of the Escudo, but a bit less extreme.
