Alright, I need some help from people who are able to actually put down some strong arguments which can be backed up properly.
I have a friend-of-a-friend who is absolutely convinced that GT4 (yes, Gran Turismo) is a 1:1 representation of the real world, and that there is "no way a car would drift that fast or spin that fast in real-life, as they do in LFS".
He's fairly low-tech in terms of physics-knowledge, so explaining to him that GT4 doesn't actually simulate anything at all does not work really well. Even shoving the fact that GT4 doesn't even have a clutch does not impress him. He'll still fall back to "The car still responds exactly as it should".
I've already pointed out to him that the cars in GT4 do not even actually understeer or oversteer, and that grip loss is probably calculated by some fixed formula of ''tire type * speed * angle'' or whatever.
How can I form an all-powerful, 100% success-guaranteed destructive waterfall of arguments which will cause him to stop hammering LFS for its unrealistic approach to grip, and cause him to stop worshipping GT4? In theory this should be as easy as taking candy from a baby, but for some reason he doesn't yield.
