Why do some cars not list the HP / Torque / Weight? There will just be "---" instead of the data. Once you purchase the car you can go into that particular car's settings and see the weight, the horsepower and the torque amount. This is completely unacceptable! The entire point of career mode is to race in events that are determined my Peformance Points limits.

We know that PP is some calculation based on a car's weight, HP and Torque and maybe even something else. But, when I am deciding on a car to use for a particular race I do NOT base my decision ONLY on the PP value of the car. If I'm racing at a technical track, I want something that is light and nimble. If I am racing on a track with elevation changes and such I am going to want power.

What possible excuse could there be to not provide us with this data which is of the utmost importance?!
 
Ask Kaz.

Possibly some sort of manufacturer requirement.

It's been that way since GT4, unfortunately. Prior to that it was considerably more rare for it to happen.

It's been like this since GT4? Wow... I wonder why no one has ever addressed the actual reason. It just baffles me that when you go into Car Settings all of the pertinent data is there, so why couldn't they also show it in the dealership. Ugh...This bothers me so much!

Well...Thanks for the information.
 
This usually happens for race cars or one off prototypes where there are no official weights or power figures because the manufactures don't release them. The specs shown in the dealership are the manufacturers' published specs. No published specs, no numbers shown in the dealership.

Once the car is in use in the game though it sorry of has to have a weight and power amount so you can see it in the settings.

This is also why some of the "276" horsepower Japanese cars from the '90s show as having more power once you buy them; the cars did have the higher power amount but the manufacturers only advertised the lower 276 horsepower number so that's what is down in the showroom.

Basically they're trying to make the showroom a little more like a real showroom where you only see what the manufacturer has published about the car.
 
That's how I've always seen it. If there's "---" it's because official data was never published by the real life manufacturer. As Zen said, you mostly see this on Prototype and race cars.
 
Yeah what Zenmervolt said. I was typing up almost exactly that...

Concepts, Tuners, Race Cars and GT Originals are usually where you see that

Because they did not bother to fill in the boxes most likely, quality control basicly

Decided to "Like" this just to have the opportunity to "Unlike" it. It's obviously not the case and it wasn't conveyed very well either.

For the most part yes - though not-accurate statistics (276hp cars, for example) date right back to GT1.

Luckily, there's GTPEDIA :D
 
Thread title made me think of my dealership information gripe. Why doesn't the dealership tell you how many parts are available to visually modify each car. The Mini's and the Peugeot 307 are good examples of premium cars that have no parts available and for me were disappointing because of this
 
But you can then go into your car list and sort by power, etc. and see where it slots in. By the way, don't get too hung up on torque, weight is probably more a factor.
