Take it there guys. This thread is already a train wreck as it is.

I'm usually not one of those who downplay or critic others' ideas with the "it's a game!" argument, but why would a "dyno" and a "wind tunnel" be needed when the game could conveniently output those values/curves to the screen in real time as changes to other settings and parameters are performed, in the same way as the torque/power chart and PP values currently get affected when fitting different engine components or altering downforce values?
If it's more detail in those chart that is needed, one could (for example) simply press a button to show an enlarged/more detailed version in full-screen if needed, a bit like what happened in GT4 for the torque/power chart by pressing the start button (except PD implemented that in a very lousy way there).

@SimonK: Why do you come up garbage every single time you visit this thread? Why don't you understand anything, if you don't like or accept other forum users ideas, suggestions and opinions simply leave without posting your BS on thier threads. Why doe's it bother you so much to respond? If you don't have anything sensible to post just leave the thread. Why haven't they banned this thing!!! Respect all other forum users as an equal nothing less than that!

If I remember correctly you couldn't get to know your car's power and torque curves and exact values until you performed a "dyno run" in a special menu/facility, which took some time to perform (and also plotted misc. acceleration and speed values, a bit like the speed test in GT5). I guess that having things like this might make sense in a racing game where you stick with a car for much time, but in GT5, especially if you play often online (and therefore change car/settings very often) it might be an annoyance to actually have to wait after each setting change to obtain proper power and torque figures (especially when they could be plotted in real time with no change or loss in game functionality/playability/overall realism).
On the other hand, expanded GT Auto maintenance features (brake pads, mechanical maintenance, etc), provided that they affect driving characteristics or are simulated in a meaningful way, could be easily and painlessly be expanded if they were properly integrated in the tuning screen, instead of having to waste 1 minute of time just to enter and exit the "GT Auto screen" (more if one is playing in online lobbies).

A better solution would be adding a shortcut for all of these maintenance stuff in online lobby, garage or offline race or within tuning screen , no need to go back and forth. So no matter how complex the maintenance features are, they are easy to access anywhere.
