I just started playing GT3 Aspec again after putting it away for a year, and just want your thoughts on how the car handles in the game vs real life. I'm asking because I know GT3 is suppose to have one of the best physics model for driving sims.

thanks

 

I think (and this is from butt dyno from the passenger seat) that it's not TOTALLY the same, but pretty close... then again, I haven't driven an S in real life so I can't tell you for sure

 

the only part I found disconcerting was the ratios were off... the top speeds for the different gears were different...

 

i was dissapointed that they didn't have the Lexus GS in that game

 

Was there a Lexus at all in the game?

It's hard to tell if it's correctly depicted because in the game I push the car a lot harder than I would outside. At least I think i am.
I've yet to release the full potential of the S.

 

There is at least one Lexus in the game, the IS300 (aka Altezza)

 

It's a Toyota Altezza (which is what it's called in Japan). I don't think any of the "american" Lexus models are in the game.

 

Well as someone who owns an S2000 and has done two track
days at Summit Point with the car I can tell you: No.

What GT3 can teach you is how to drive a line, how to hit your
brake points, turn in points and acceleration points. This, in
turn, teaches you to be consistent.

But when to come to learning the feeling of driving at the edge,
well, only real life will do.

I feel the S2000 in GT3 understeers more than the real thing.

 

no i personally think the game underestimates the handling of the s2000.

 

What the difference between V-spec and the regular S2k?

In the game the V-spec cost a little more but I don't see any horsepower increases at all.
