    So I'm playing the new GT5 Prologue game, and am playing with the GTR to get enough credits to buy the F40... I do, and it feels totally underwhelming.

    I've had the pleasure of riding shotgun in Carsinxs' F40 while ripping through the gears.... and the speeds are nothing like the game.

    So I look up the ratios... some site claims these... which is what is in use in the game.... but I keep thinking that it can't be right... are they?

    Code:
    rpm     7000                      
    tyre size     335     35     17          2.09  
    final drive     2.9                      
    1st gear     2.77               68.4     mph  
    2nd gear     1.71               110.8     mph  
    3rd gear     1.23               154.0     mph  
    4th gear     0.96               197.4     mph  
    5th gear     0.77               246.1     mph   
    the game uses an F40 that goes to 8000 rpm... so your doing 220mph in 4th gear.....
    Did Sony royally screw up? Are they assuming the F40 has taller ratios? Are they assuming the F40 weighs 3600 lbs?

    ......

    If they got the final drive wrong.... and the redline is 7750 instead of 7000.... this sounds closer to right

    Code:
     rpm     7750                      
    tyre size     335     35     17          2.09  
    final drive     3.9                      
    1st gear     2.77               56.3     mph  
    2nd gear     1.71               91.2     mph  
    3rd gear     1.23               126.8     mph 
    4th gear     0.96               162.5     mph 
    5th gear     0.77               202.6     mph

    Yeah. . . I've noticed the same kind of thing in Gt4 and Tourist Trophy.

    After you complete the A,B,C series the S class comp. opens up as well as gear ratio adjustment and other mods. Did anyone else get the Logitech driving force GT that goes with GT5.
