Corrected various innacuracies in vehicle information

Even with the corrections in this update the power and torque numbers for the regular F-Trainer display as being more than the F-Trainer Advanced which I presume is backwards from what it should be.

I don’t why these ongoing issues with the displayed vehicle info irk me as much as they do because I know it's basically just a cosmetic thing. It really makes you wonder though how convoluted some portions of the Madness Engine must be under the hood when just getting the right text in the right place remains an issue after more than a year of development.

From what I understand, there is not a single source for this data: the physics engine use its own values while there is a different set of values for purely display. Hence the double effort and discrepancies. But yes, it would be great if Reiza could fix them all for good, or change the system so there is a single source of truth. I suppose it's not that simple and there are already so many things to work on.
