Power / weight ratios for online?

[Leo_Straight6]

As title says, is it possible to set power/weight ratios instead of just outright weight and power figures?

If its not possible it really should be implemented in a next patch!

Power/weight ratio is so much useful and missing from GT5. Definitely a must for online me thinks.

You could sort out your garage in GT4 with P/W ratio. In GT5 you can still see it in the car's details but it's not available when sorting your cars where it really matters.

In the now defunct racing MMO game Motor City Online, they initially used horsepower limits like GT5 to split up classes. The problem was power to weight ratio, a 300 HP weighing 3000 lbs. is going to be a lot faster than a 350 HP car weight 3500 lbs. To resolve this, they later patched it so that power to weight ratio defined car classes.

Being able to set weight limits in online races some what helps, but power to weight limit ratios would ultimately be more useful.
