I wish the PR for cars made more sense. This table shows how screwed up they are (though there are far worse examples). I'd like to know what the weighting is for each variable. However, I think it's really just a crap shoot and they give each car whatever PR rating they feel like while making them somewhat consistent with the other cars in the series they are in.

While the Furai does beat out the other cars in all but top speed, does that really warrant a nearly 14pt higher PR (than the Porsche, and even higher versus the McLaren and Audi)? Especially when all the other cars are much closer in PR despite their differences in performance.

For instance, look at the differences between the Audi and McLaren, yet they are only separated by 0.1PR. It is true though that they split the differences in performance with the Audi having better accel. and braking, while the McLaren is better at top speed and cornering. But, is 0.05s in acceleration equivalent to a 0.04g difference in cornering and is a 12ft difference in braking distance equal to an 18mph difference in top speed? The PR's for the Audi and McLaren seem to claim so.

Plus, compare the Porsche to either the Audi or McLaren. Do its differences warrant a 6PR difference? Especially when it's down in top speed to both. The Porsche is similar to the Audi in both top speed and braking (and slightly worse on both), but yet it still manages to have a 6pt higher PR due solely to its acceleration and cornering figures.

I'd be curious to see what the "true" PR would be for each car if we used a consistent guideline to determine it. Would be neat for curiosity sake if nothing else.
