Drove the 86GT and NC miata back to back on GT5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hanzo · 12-23-2011, 12:02 PM

I have a Logitech G27 with Playseat. Full manual with clutch and H pattern shifter. All driving aid turned off except for ABS which is set to 1. Drove each cars around 10 laps.

Track: Tsukuba Circuit Japan 1.271 miles
Condition: Dry

Roadster RS (NC) 2007: 1:12.067
86GT 2012: 1:08.050

My last lap in the miata was my best at 1:12.067, I was able to do 1:10 on the first lap with the GT86.

Stock, so whatever tires they are on. I guess I should mention they are both stock out of the box.

If they are on different tires, switch one and re-compare for us...

This post title got me real excited... until I read the last 2 words - "on GT5"

They are stock tires on both, that's the whole point of the comparo. Stock vs Stock.

I did the same with the NB '00 to see how my car would compare. Both on sports hard, I was able to pull a 1:09 out of the Miata and a 1:06 out of the 86. Even though I hate Tsukuba, both cars were fun enough to drive and play with for a while.

And the NC Miata comes with comfort softs, so you might want to even out the tires and run them again. They might be easier to drive, but I don't think sports hard are indicative of the performance you'll see from Primacy HPs.

Edit: Where's the media?

Changing the tires would no longer be a stock vs stock comparo. You don't see car magazines change tires on their comparos.

The game's GT86 tires aren't representative of a real life car either. Changing them would at least balance that part out a lot more like real life.

I did the same comparo with a 06 Honda S2000. The S2K comes with comfort soft in stock form so I changed it to sports hard to match the 86. After the change the 2 cars runs almost the same time on two different tracks. I hope this will also hold true in real life.
