I've had a look around this forum and others at 'top speed' sort of posts and feel something isn't right. People are posting top speeds of well over 200mph with something like the Adder yet when I try and match it I can't even get above 130mph. I don't think it's a problem with my driving, I take the car on the motorway and drive to what feels like top speed for a few minutes, not hitting anything.

 

Also, my top speed ever was in a Banshee at around 187mph. I have no idea when I got this but it's now impossible to beat, even with cars that are supposedly much faster.

 

ALSO, do the mods make a difference? I'm always testing with fully modded cars. I assume stuff like engine and turbo can only help, but thinks like body work, armour, brakes, transmission etc... Will these heavier items actually slow the car?

 

ALSO, people always say they could go faster as Franklin, even if the other character's driving skill is 100. Does he actually drive faster or is it just easier with his special ability to drive longer without a crash.

 

tldr; cant go fast, try stock car?

Aren't you confusing kilometers with miles by any chance?

 

Nope.

 

How do you even tell how fast your going?... Unless there's an odometer on screen which I been blind to.

 

Stats.

Exactly, it seems like going at least 200 in the Adder, the games fastest car, should be easy. You were just driving on normal roads?

Did you try any of the rare vehicles from the website?

Yeah the Cheetah (121mph) and Entity (127mph)

Franklin's ability slows down everything else much more than his own car

It makes you drive even faster

Try using it as soon as you hit what feels like max speed

are we sure that the police speed traps aren't infact checkpoints for recording your high speeds? I know all my records were set going past them, and I'm sure I went faster at the airport

Ok just did 134.97mpg in a stock Entity. Drove 8.19 miles at top speed without crashing with Michael. Not sure how I could get it faster so something must be going on.

Will do, thanks

Where are the speed traps?

RIGHT, somethings definitely going on here. Just got 211mph with Franklin in the Adder. After driving round the entire map at full speed it still didn't top 130. Got back to the city and drove down a busy street and got the 211 straight away without even trying.

 

So I guess it's something to do with speed cameras or traps they only have in certain places.
