The GT3 has 516 RWHP, not at the crank. I clearly state that at the very beginning of the video. The car probably makes around 570 at the crank.

Drive one for at least 3 months in various situations, then you might say you know what your car is capable of.

Being driven in the passenger seat wondering around the parking lot doesnt give you any insight about that car at all. You just hope it does.

And of course, HP comparison only matters in the magazine. In reality, the whole pakage matters more.

I feel I am dumb to write this. Maybe I am dumb...

And just so you know PCGTM6, Turn 10 said the Nurburgring is 12.9 miles and the real Nurburgring is 12.9 miles

They didn't miss a step bud.

I want to believe that, but they would never bad mouth their own game.

YouTube - In game proof the forza 3 Nurburgring is too long

Not my video.

Maybe the mileage calculator in the car is wrong? I don't know. All I know is that I love that game and lap times don't matter too much because this game wasn't meant to be the most realistic game ever built, although they did work out the perfect balance of sim/arcade with this.
