For the Infernus, top speed is listed as 336 km/h and the 2nd fastest car in GTAIV, second only to the Comet . The Coquette however, is listed having a top speed of 344km/h that is higher than the Infernus. I am going to change the info. --The Man With The 9mm 11:25, October 15, 2009 (UTC) | ||
Actually, there's really a big problem about top speeds. They are quite overestimated. 344 km/h for the Comet ? I thought the Porsche 911 could only reach 285. But it's even worse : when you know what is 300 km/h, you'd also knwo that you can't reach such a speed in GTA IV. Cars are even quite slow in this game. I made a test, and the top speed I found for the Comet was 140 km/h.

:Yeah, I was pretty leary of the "3xx"km/h numbers; that'd be insanely fast. | :Yeah, I was pretty leary of the "3xx"km/h numbers; that'd be insanely fast. All the wiki's numbers come from gta4.net, don't they? (I know I've used it a few times for edits). Any idea where that database gets its numbers from? (and how do you measure speed in-game? Is there a speedometer I've overlooked?) --[[User:Samadriel|Samadriel]] 14:16, October 12, 2009 (UTC) | ||
::I've used a mod to know the speed. But I think GTA4.net didn't make the test : can you imagine an [[Airtug]] with a speed of 252 km/h ???--[[User:Loadingue|Loadingue]] 14:21, October 12, 2009 (UTC) | ::I've used a mod to know the speed.

To Loadingue's first comment: If the Comet is not really capable of those speeds, why is that info in the article? Or you could at least add a small sentence saying that the Comet isn't actually capable of reaching over 300km/h. You seem to know a lot more about this than I do and that is why I am proposing this to you. --The Man With The 9mm 11:36, October 15, 2009 (UTC) | To Loadingue's first comment: If the Comet is not really capable of those speeds, why is that info in the article?

:I expect he was waiting for you, since you said you'd do it... | :I expect he was waiting for you, since you said you'd do it... Anyone know a better source than GTA4.net? (I don't know where the data is in the game files, nor whether it renders speeds in mph or km/h or an abstract number). Maybe one of those printed game guides would have car speeds? I'm a bit of a neat freak, I'd fix all the published top speeds if we could find a reliable source. If we can't, might be better to edit 'em all out. --[[User:Samadriel|Samadriel]] 12:01, October 15, 2009 (UTC) | ||
The top speed is not directly written in any file, so I'm making in-game tests at the moment to know the top speed for each vehicle.--[[User:Loadingue|Loadingue]] 14:43, October 15, 2009 (UTC) | The top speed is not directly written in any file, so I'm making in-game tests at the moment to know the top speed for each vehicle.--[[User:Loadingue|Loadingue]] 14:43, October 15, 2009 (UTC) | ||

:If GTA4.net did take those values from game files, it's not accurate to call it "top speed."

::Neat, thanks SE. | ::Neat, thanks SE. A lot more complicated than I thought! I guess if we're going to talk about 'top speeds' on the wiki, we'll have to find them out via road tests (Good on ya Loadingue, that sounds like a big job). --[[User:Samadriel|Samadriel]] 17:20, October 15, 2009 (UTC) | ||

: Sorry mate, not true. | : Sorry mate, not true. During ''the time Stevie wants that car'' it will respawn (ie, you can take a target car to a safehouse and then come back and take another for Stevie), but once it's delivered, it won't show up there anymore. --[[User:Samadriel|Samadriel]] 01:21, November 2, 2009 (UTC) | ||

: I know this is off topic, but that's not entirely true. Stevie's Dukes always spawns in East Holland, near Modo, for me; even though I completed all of his car thefts. I can't remember if the Dukes was the last car I got for him or not. Although, I do have a feeling that the last car you get for Stevie always spawns in the place that you picked it up from.
