GT6 1.01 is the best. I finally know what it's like to drive an Acura Integra Type R '01.(Phoenix Yellow, To be featured in my first Photomode Post)

I now have over 1200 cars at my finger tips without hours of repeating the same tasks over and over again. I wish they would make the delivery of cars faster on the next update.

I sure as hell still am.

Are you sure you want to rely on GT for that. I mean really what are you gauging that off of? It's as if you enjoyed and and thus decided due to your emotions it must be correct.
 
If this game was accurate like the OP thinks it is I would never buy a Veyron, for example, if I had the money. The car can't brake well even with racing brakes. If its anything like PD's representation in GT6 the car is garbage in the braking dept. But we know in real life it's nowhere as bad as PD has programmed it to be. After all it has done 7:40's at the Nurburgring in real life. So the brakes work in real life but not so much in GT6.

Pretty sure you wouldn't be using the veyron as a racer in real life.
 
Is it me or is GT6 ten times easier than GT5? I keep thinking, "ok, the next level is where it's going to get really tuff", and it's just more of the same. Graphics are a little better. They really messed up the tuning interface. I like 5 better in that respect. It's nice to have something new, but from all the hype I read, I thought 6 was going to be much much better.

Riiight. Because only race cars have great brakes in real life. Did you miss the part where the Veyron did a 7:40 on the Nurb? So apparently in real life the Veyron can actually brake and go around turns.

Gran Turismo is not real life folks.

7:40 isn't that fast the new z28 camaro did it in 7:37 and its an american muscle car. Veyron isn't known for having good handling it just makes a lot of power and is fast when it's going straight.

Yea man.. Don't want to poop on your parade or anything but a car that weighs 4,200 lbs is not going to stop well. The Veyron isn't known for being some hot track car. It's known because it had huge HP for a factory car at the time of it's release, went 255 MPH or whatever, and was extremely expensive.

It's an Autobahn cruiser, not a track star. But if that is the car you want in real life then nothing wrong with that. Just realize that it probably handles like a boat.

If a car weighs 4,200 pounds, they are going to have brakes that can stop all that mass in a decent amount of time. Plus he never said it was a track star, all he said was the lap time it did the Nurb in. Just because a car is an "autobahn cruiser" does not mean it will handle poorly on a track.
 
"Bugatti claims the Veyron will brake from 400 km/h (250 mph) to a standstill in less than 10 seconds, though distance covered in this time will be half a kilometre (third of a mile)"

Hmmm.

Just did a 6:45 Ring time with the Veyron and that was going off track twice. All stock and on Sport Softs. No oil change. It stops and understeers like a 4,200 lb car. So yea I'd say it's pretty accurate.

And yes this fella is insinuating that the Veyron is some sort of well handling sports car with magical fairy dust brakes. And he sounds excited about it like it's his generations bedroom poster car and has disproportionate expectations. Kind of like the Countach was back in my day, but turns out it's a pretty miserable poorly performing car in the real world. And that's fine. I still like it. Just as he should continue to like the Veyron. But don't blame the game for it's poor braking performance.

The car is a technological achievement for something that weighs 4,200 lbs.

This is why I hate posting on forums anymore. A whole lot of ignorant juvenile inferences and insinuations.

You are the one insinuating I said its a track car not me. A Lamborghini Aventador is not far off a Veyrons weight yet somehow it stops very well for a 3900lb car. Some have been tested in magazines at around 4000lbs with all fluids etc.

Exactly. Thanks for reading my post exactly as it was written and meant.

My concern isn't about it's handling, however, its its brakes. It handles decently enough in game all things considered.

You say "..we know in real life.." Who knows? There is nothing in the game that lets you do accurate brake distance comparisons. You haven't driven one in real life I assume and it's likely neither has anyone else on the forum.

And the time was 7:40? Wow. So the time I pulled would mean the car is much better in the game than it is in real life, according to your claimed 7:40 time.

Again, if you want a Veyron, nothing wrong with that. But don't blame PD for your inability to drive the car.

Oh and the Aventador is a 3600 lb car. 600 lbs lighter will make a difference in the braking department.

End of my part in this futile discussion.

Once you've put a real car on a real track you realize the weakest link is the brakes. I wish Homestead was in the game then I could comment on how good or bad GT6 is. The hardest part is trying to determine which of several combinations of wheel & traction settings make the simulation most accurate.

So far it seems pretty good but the down shifting is pure crap. In RL slamming the car into a lower gear as fast as the game allows would just cause you to lose rear grip big time. Trust me. As my track instructor said: brakes stop the car not the transmission.

At the end of the day, that's what the Veyron is. An overhyped, overweight, overpriced, mid-engined, 4-wheel drive muscle car. All it has is flash and straight-line speed.
