Sourcing and methodology
Most GTA reference sites lose trust the same way: one unsourced number gets copied between sites until it looks like consensus. These are the rules this site follows so that does not happen here — written down so you can hold us to them.
The four rules
1. Every figure is traceable to a named source
Prices, payouts, production times and speeds each come from a source we name on the page that uses them. Where a figure comes from Rockstar itself we say so; where it comes from community testing or a third-party database we say that instead, because the two are not equally reliable and you deserve to know which one you are reading.
2. When two sources disagree, the entry is dropped
We do not average conflicting figures and we do not pick the one that looks more plausible. An averaged number is a number nobody measured. If two credible sources give different values and we cannot establish which is right, that entry does not ship. Of the 759 vehicles in the database, 75 have at least one field left deliberately blank for exactly this reason.
3. "Not published" is a fact, not a gap to fill
When a publisher has never released a number, the page says so plainly rather than estimating. NVIDIA published one 4K frame-rate figure for DLSS 5 in text and drew the rest in an unlabelled chart — so our page shows one 4K figure and marks the others unpublished, instead of reading pixels off an image. Rockstar has never announced a GTA 6 PC release date, so we do not print one, however confidently other sites do.
4. Data, not opinion
This site publishes numbers and tools, not "top 10 things we want in GTA 6". That is a deliberate limit: opinion pieces about a game nobody has played yet cannot be checked, and the moment we publish something uncheckable, none of the checkable things are worth anything either.
Why community-tested top speeds, not the in-game stat bar
GTA Online shows every vehicle a speed bar in the purchase menu. Those bars are widely known not to reflect real performance — a car with a shorter bar routinely out-runs one with a longer bar. Our database therefore lists top speeds measured by community testing, which is the figure that actually predicts what happens on the road. It is a third-party figure and we label it as one; we prefer a measured number with a known provenance over an official number that is known to be misleading.
What we will not do
- Copy another site's text. Every page here is written from the data.
- Republish leaked or datamined material as though it were confirmed.
- Print a GTA 6 release detail Rockstar has not stated.
- Estimate a figure and present it without saying it is an estimate.
Corrections
GTA Online changes with every Rockstar update, so figures here go stale. If you find one that is wrong, emailcontact@gtatoolbox.com with the page, the figure, and where you saw the correct value. Corrections that come with a source get made the same day. We would rather be corrected than be quietly wrong.
