Best car for racing? (super)

[xDilly]

I'm nearing $1m and I'm wondering if I should go for the Adder and mod it, or pick something else. I'm only looking for cars in the Super category.

From what my friends told me, the Adder is mostly just a car for bragging rights, and I should go for the Entity if I want a good racing car.

[darkwar854]

Adder is for hipsters and Entity is for racers.

[toobsock]

+1 Entity

[Raylion]

Entity is still the top car for racing so would go for that. The Turismo has muddied the waters slightly about what car is now second best as I now consider that to be better than the Adder.

 

If you buy the Adder you will win races...you'll just win more in an Entity.

the entity is generally considered the best super for races that arent just flat out on a highway infinitely. the turismo is also extremely close to the entity in terms of performance for a fraction of the cost. the main difference between the 2 is that the turismo is RWD and because of that falls a wee bit short in the traction department. the trade off is that its acceleration is slightly better. its also much better looking to my eye

 

EDIT: completely forgot about the infernus, infernus master race

Infernus and Turismo.

Adder is for hipsters and Entity is for racers.

The Entity is for hipsters.....

 

I don't like either personally.

I would if this was San Andreas.

 

I'm going with the Entity mustard race. Sorry.

fool, youre gonna blow all your money on the car and have none left over for upgrades. the infernus and turismo will literally perform just as well for half the price and leave you money to tune it up

[Ai®a©ob®a]

The adder is the fastest but the handling of it sucks i would either get the Turmiso or the Entity XF

 

The Infernus & Voltic are both good cars to race with too i've beat people in adders with the Voltic fully modded and neither cost anywhere near a mil.

 

You'll be blowing all your money if you buy an adder not to mention it'll cost you and extra $300K to mode it up If you choose the adder you will need $360,000 to mod it up 100% each super car will cost you around $300,000 to mod it up 100%

 

So choose wisely

I've had the Adder, Infernus, Bullet and Entity, they've all been sold and the only Super I have now is the Turismo I feel it's the best for my driving style.

Have all of these except the adder, which I got rid of. I'd also say that the Voltic is the best short circuit super, but like white men, it can't f'n jump.

Very few circuits really have straight-aways that are that long, and those that do are generally very boring circuits. That's just another downside to the adder, because the tracks it's best at are the least fun to drive.

 

The fun circuits generally benefit the Entity most, and if you want the competative edge, get that. But lately I've just been solidly using the Turismo. It's just a lot more fun to drive than the Entity, which seems a little stiff.

The advantages the XF has over the Adder are virtually negligible for a few reasons:

 

1) chances are you're not racing yourself

2) chances are you're not going to find a clean set of players

3) chances are you're not going to like what happens when traffic is on

 

That being said there is STILL an edge inherent to the XF over the Adder but with how players are it's honestly almost a roll of the dice for what vehicle will finish first and why. The Turismo is a solid choice yet even despite it's incredible turning radius and overall higher fun factor, it's still a RWD vehicle. That factor is worth consideration.

 

XF if vehicle "superiority" in the slightest matters to you for the best possible lap time.

Adder if you feel the previous statement is negligible to you and lap times aren't your thing.

Turismo if you're feeling special.

Infernus if you want to be different.

Definitely not the Turismo! That piece of metal can't even go over a kerb without hitting it with the front bumper

Dreams are free bloke, I have one of those as well

G37 raises some valuable points.

 

While I'd even go as far as to say that I prefer the handling of the Turismo to the handling of the Entity, in a crowded race situation, a slight shunt from another driver can send the RWD Tursimo into an unstoppable spin, while the traction of something like the AWD Entity will allow it to shake of a lot of the bumps and nudges that might have caused problems to the Turismo.

 

 

Interesting to see people calling either the Adder or Entity the "hipster" car though..I guess it's just a failure to understand what the term actually means. The "hipster" cars are those such as the Infernus, Cheetah, Voltic etc.

 

 

Also, the front bumper issue on the Turismo has been more or less fixed.

[HirsuteDave]

Vacca if you're a top-tier racer

If it wasn't for the huge disadvantage it has on long straights It'd be right up there.

[G37]

I honestly haven't used the Turismo in racing situations but for FR it's incredibly hit or miss due to the drivetrain. It's at least A LOT of fun though. We do have to give the nod to AWD as the better choice though.

 

Couple things I wanted to bring up regarding the Turismo. I know it's quite similar to the Cheetah in terms of the "moving ramp" and I imagine that could be a real pain in the ass in a crowded race. What's more is that the whole virtually zero ground clearance is NOT as big of a deal as I originally thought. Sure you can't pass over a curb of any kind <10 mph for instance, but once you're even half way through 1st gear it's a non-issue.

 

Does remind me though, I should put in some more time in actual races with the Infernus as well.

[budcat]

I beat Entities all day in my Adder, though I think the Turismo, Entity and Adder are all on roughly the same level, with the Vacca, Cheetah and Infernus just barely behind.

Is the Jester a super? Is it great? Got it in SP and looks like a race car (body mods) and would love to have it only if it can perform. Tried it in the city and I love how it goes, just gotta make sure it can keep up with an Entity (short circuit stuff).

[djdest]

I was (and still am) a huge entity fan, but since getting a tourismo Ive hadn't driven the Entity at all.

I wouldn't even bother looking at an Adder personally

The jester is sports not super.

Fully modded its an awesome car and very capable

[budcat]

Thing is you probably won't get respected in any of these cars, and unless you really care about your race win/loss percentage it would probably save you some money and be not noticably different to just buy the car you like the most rather than what anyone thinks is the best. Since no one can agree it goes to show there's a hair's difference between any of them.

I know exactly what the term means. Next you are gonna say hipsters don't buy Apple products?

Look at it this way.

The Adder is Microsoft and the Entity is Apple. Infernuses, cheetahs etc would be Linux. Linux of course is for the people with a little more skill and knowledge.

[dlow]

If your looking for a car to race with, consider the settings of the races...., is catch up on or off

any of the vehicles will become equal if catch up is turned on and the skill level of the drivers is pretty much equal

 

On a Highway race (Long race with lots of open road) with catch up turned off, its damn ear impossible to beat an Adder if the driver knows how to drive it

 

On tracks that that have cornering along with open road, the Entity and Tursimo are both good cars , both handle the corners better i think the Tursimo is a little better in the acceleration dept, but the Entity has a little more top end giving it an edge if the track has less cornering ...

 

The Cheetah is a good car for cornering, but lacks the top end speed of the others, so on highway tracks its not as good as the other 3

 

If you race with traffic on The Tursimo and Entity have the edge over the Adder mainly because getting the adder up to speed and keeping it there never comes into play......

 

I had all three cars at the same time all three modded equal.......I found when racing the Tursimo and Entity were the cars i used 99% of the time because there is not a LOT of long open road tracks, and unless i am the host it seems that everyone leaves catch up on .......so i sold the Adder

 

If you race with guys/gals that try to race clean without pitting and ramming you will find very few tracks that the Tursimo wont compete on, if your setting close to that 1 million dollar mark, its 500k price tag will leave you money to fully upgrade it with money left over........the Entity after buying it you can do the performance upgrades but my have to wait and build cash for cosmetic upgrades .......the Adder well you can buy it for 1 mill.but you need 300k more to mod it up fully

 

If you race with rammers and pitters the adder seems to be more vulnerable to the pit and is harder to control in traffic and when the vehicle become air born

[Arya35]

Choose the Adder, because most races people choose are long boring races like the grand tour out the commute where the Adder's top speed is a big advantage. Also since most races are won or lost in the first turn your adder will not be pushed as easily.

 

The entity is still the better car overall if you play proper races with clean racers but when racing against randoms the Adder well still be more useful.

[budcat]

Another often overlooked aspect to the Adder is that if you're not very highly ranked yet and you don't have a ton of armor on your car the Adder needs to be seriously deformed before the wheels warp, which is not always the case for other cars. I know people hate it, but it's an all-around good choice.

[senormidget]

Entity every time if you want to consistently win races.

 

Yeah it's dull and everyone has one but it has unbelievable traction and acceleration, it sticks to the road when cornering, has enough ground clearance for jumps and bumps (unlike cheetah or turismo), it's heavy enough to resist rammers a lot of the time and it really isn't much slower than an adder on straights.
