i just checked the specs on my mitsu lancer evo vii. it has 44.1 lb/ft of torque and it's supposed to have ~280lb/ft of torque!!!

what happened?!?! :Q

I'm just replying here to express my jealousy.
one of these days, I'll be able to afford my own PS2 and GT3.

I'll think it's your PS2 that is broken. I'll pm you my adress so you can send it to me. Be sure to include GT3 too so I can test it with that game :)

It could be a screw up in the game like in my GT2. I have some cars that when you buy them they say one number for HP/Torgue but when they are in the garage or when you modify them in the race they have a much higher number.

hp = (tq*rpm)/5252

500 = (44*rpm)/5252

500*5252 = 44*rpm

500*5252/44= rpm


Um...if my calculations are correct u would need to rev to 59,681rpm!!:Q Damn I knew jap cars were high reving!!


I think GT is wrong somehow.

I think you would be dodging flying pistons at a lot less than 60,000rpm.


<edit: that equation assumes HPmax would occur at TQmax, which it wouldn't but it is roughly correct, need to know HP @ TQmax to be correct. I would imagine HP would be around the 400 mark at the point of maximum torque, so just replace 500 for 400 in the equation, still gives u 48,000rpm...ouch! Torque &amp; HP are always the same at 5252rpm, 441ftlbs sounds more like it, decimal point is in the wrong place>

Even my Mazda Miata (SP?) has the same problem.....me and TuffGuy were playing, and then we realized the problem

So if we save on a card, and then get a new game and then load the gamecard, will we have the same torque? I think the answer is yes, but I'm hoping it's no..... lol

<<hp = (tq*rpm)/5252>>

MrWhiteUK: How the hell did you come up with that equation? It doesn't make any sense!

Hp = (torque*rpm)/5252


What is wrong with it? Look it up.


For example if a car produces it's maximum torque 200lbs/ft @ 6000rpm

BHP @ that point (6000rpm) would be (6000*200)/5252

=228BHP



HP/Torque equation

It's a screwup, the decimal places are off on some of them, others are just way off... :confused:
