anybody who knows alot about gt4

im and guessing a certain dude will reply right away when he sees this ;)

whats the deal with the horsepower ratings?  i buy a car, it says it has lets say..... 340 hp.  then i look at it in my garage, says it has 345.  then after a race, i watch the reply and it says 336 hp.  what the heck are they doing?  this is freaking me out.  no matter where i go, each little section gives it a different rating.  and even in the options menu when it shows a little picture of ut torque and hp, even THAT rating isnt the same as any of the others.  anyone got any idea before i start to cry?

Don't worry. Your car always has the same hp. :P It's been like that since the begining. I was asking that question back when GT1 came out. They've obviously got some messed up math going on.

as far as I knew some races have hop-ups that are able to be used in a race and some dont. Now as far as finding out which ones you got me, but I have heard say you got the computer and exhaust upgrades, in certain races mostly just in the beginning stages they will actually be removed without being saved. Then when the race starts it shows you that hp but when you go back to the main menu it is back to where you had it...

***Now Im not absolutely positive this is where it comes from but just from my friends and I's own opinions from other discussions we have had...

No, that's just the tires. If you have racing tires on, and you enter a circuit that requires street tires, they will remove the racing tires, and prompt you about it. As far as hp upgrades, that isn't done automatically, since you can change all of that just prior to the race, and no options are restricted, (except the tires issue).

If you play any of the prior versions, you'll notice the torque figures are almost always off by a decimal point. I haven't found that with GT4.

450hp 425ft/lbs = 450hp 42.5ft/lbs

I was wrong. Some races do limit aspiration. If you do the turbo cup, they tell you going in that some adjustments can't be made because it's a limited aspiration race. My mistake.

I like the nitrous option.  Amazing how I can adjust it for full power and still have enough to last about 2 minutes :grinno:

Remember that the Gran Turismo games gradually take away your horsepower as your engine oil deteriorates.

What I wanna know is why some cars disappear from the used car showroom for a period of time, then show up later?

I was dying to get the Taurus SHO for the FF races, but it went away and came back a coupla days later. :(

Trying to emulate a real used car dealership. When buying a used car in the real world, you have too look around, and come back every so often to find the car you're looking for. :) I think it's a good idea.

I hated that game!!!  Buick Grand National can only get like 450 hp after mods, what ever!!  Those things can run 8's after mods!  Seems like the puppies shiznit can get all the power in the world were as the real muscle can't upgrade worth a shiznit.  I do love the fact the GNX is on there though..  And a cougar xr7

You're not the only one. It's happened to me, and a few other guys I know in a cruising club up here. Huge PITA, but it doesn't happen that often.
