Adder is the fastest car in the game? Think again....

[iainspad]

I agree that the Z-Type is faster, because I've only driven stock versions of it, as with other supercars, and somehow the Z-Type is the vehicle I've achieved the fastest speed in.

[justinlynch3]

Top speed means diddly squat in this game. On a highway in a straight line, ok the Z type may win with top speed. But race that adder though city streets or around corners. Or compare the lap times of Adder's and Z-types in races, the Z-Type will fall behind because it's acceleration isn't quite there and it's traction is horrible.

 

Top speed alone doesn't make the "fastest car", you have to account traction and acceleration as well.

[cuti8tushu]

The z type is a pretty damn fast car not going to lie.

 

Lol but go ahead and try to race it against supers with it's sh*tty handling

[Delta India Echo]

The Z-Type and Adder might be the fastest, but looks matter.

 

Turismo R masterrace.

[SlyferFox]

I've tested many fully upgraded vehicles on a straight away track that takes at least a minute to complete. On tests done with the same cars, some results come out very few milliseconds faster or slower than others - so the tests are extremely accurate. The Adder ALWAYS gets the best times. The Z-Type can't even beat the Zentorno, but it's close to the Entity, Turismo, and Massacro. The only vehicles that can beat the Adder on the track are motorcycles (crotch rockets) when doing wheelies.

 

I held down the acceleration button at all times, and these are the results:

Adder - 01:07.019

Zentorno - 01:08.863

Z-Type - 01:09.018

 

Also, for those who point it out, fastest speed achieved on Social Club means absolutely nothing. Catch up and slipstream can make a huge difference, as well as glitches and other things that would make that stat unreliable. On my first character, the Carbonizzare has the highest top speed on Social Club. It's definitely not as fast as those other cars I mentioned. The Carbonizzare's result is 01:11.656 on the track.

The Z type can beat the Zentorno on a straight only. At top speed the Z type can slowly outrun it. You have to give it time. But yes it won't matter because you can't even race a sports classic with a super anyway. Unless you do an impromptu race. A race with a long straight the Z type is at advantage but it will take time to catch up because the Zentorno is quicker. If there are a lot of turns then the Zentorno is at advantage because it's quick and can take off from corners faster. But a Z type can win if the driver Zentorno messes up several times and the Z type doesn't.

 

There are two reasons why the Z type didn't beat the Zentorno or the Adder.

 

1. Because the track was a straight but wasn't long enough for the Z type to hit top speed and exceed the speed of the Zentorno which does take about 20-30 seconds to do so.

 

or 2. Because the track had mostly turns and corners.

 

The Z type is only good for it's looks, classical characteristics, uniqueness, luxury and top speed in this game. Handling isn't as good and traction is bad.

Why don't you make up a race on the highway near one of the gun stores. You can turn off traffic and you can maybe drive backwards a little to give the Z-type more room to reach top speed.

[Affalterbach]

You should start a youtube channel, great videos man

So a sports classic car can compete with a super in race? I thought you could only choose one class only?

[InfernalOutcast]

Oh I forgot about that. I'm guessing there isn't an all class option either.

[n0tj0sh33]

Actually as pointed out the Adder has the higher top speed it just takes forever to get there.

1 minute is more than enough time to hit top speed and beat whatever competition there is. Of course the track didn't have mostly turns and corners; it's a straight 1 min+ track. For extra measures, I stick to the left lane and center without viering off to the sides. Like I said before, when I test the same cars several times, there NEVER is a 1 second difference (only milliseconds). But to further prove my point, I tested the Z-Type again. This time I put tons of boosts in GTA Race to insure the Z-Type hits top speed very early. STILL, it didn't beat the Adder's time, and the Adder didn't even use boosts.

 

As for the results: The Z-Type got 1:07.787 with several boosts, and the Adder got 01:07.019 without boosts.

Weird how it's faster in Free Roam somehow.

 

I'll try the test myself.

you need to calm down mate, do you feel like I'm making you look stupid or something?

I'm simply making a point to consider

Your making claims in which you have no evidence for. I have evidence in two videos.

 

cos of the way you are responding to me, im being respectful and calm, you seem to be getting upset

 

besides your video is not really a great test of the two cars

 

 

Thanks!! I can read this on my phone at an arms length!!!

I'd rather take xily times than the sh*tty video you posted tbh lol

 

 

EDIT: Two videos of evidence and super car lovers still claim the Adder is faster. Sighh smh....

 

For those of you morons who talk about lap times/better driver I am talking about TOP SPEED in a straight line. Evolution didn't really do a good job did it? Proof that God didn't design us.

 

 

Straight line my ass, you're weaving all over the damn place lol..

[The Lonesome Drifter]

Considering all cars are speed capped at around 160mph online the tests mainly rely on Accelleration.

 

Z types accelleration is boarder line OP, hence it can reach it's top speed before that of the adder.

 

He'll my Rapid GT can literally smoke Entities and cheaters in straight lines (I said straight lines, NOT circuits with turns) due to it's Accelleration. And I talk from experiance.

Downshifting the Massacro can beat a Zentorno. Same with the Banshee.

Yes, because the supers rely on their high speeds, speeds that online they don't have, so many sports cars can beat them easily.

 

The zentorno can only accelerate so fast due to it's 4WD, hence why many think it's the best super (when in SP an Adder can use it's full speed and literally DESTROY the zentorno in any situation, assuming you actually heard of braking for corners.

Nobody knows O.o

 

But with better capacity on the hardware if say so, but it depends on whether or not the extra speeds will be too much of a strain on the servers or not.

[gorskiegangsta]

 

 

Hey guys, the adder is technically the "fastest" but it's acceleration is lower than cars like the zentorno, entity, Z-Type, so it is the "fastest" technically, but do a drag race and those other cars'll smoke it.

 

In the video the Adder had enough time to catch up but it didn't. I tested the speed of both of these cars on the airport runway and ther adder won. But it can't win on a longer straight. I think it's time to admit that another car is faster than the Adder. But both are Truffade so.... Adder is the son and the Z type is the grandaddy.I made a ~5mi long highway race (basically a straight line, no corners whatsoever), and tested all available stock vehicles solo (no start boost) in Super, Sports, and Sports Classics categories. Overall results for top 25 are as follows:

 

1: Adder - 02:37:084 (1st within its own class)

2: Z-Type - 02:38:213 (1st within its own class)

3: Zentorno - 02:40:165 (2nd within its own class)

4: Entity XF - 02:41:135 (3rd within its own class)

Makes total sense that a car from the 30's is faster than a super car

great work devs!

Makes total sense when moving a thumb stick you can flip a car off its roof and makes perfect sense we have color tire smoke.

Isn't top speed capped at like 150mph in online? Given enough time most cars will go as fast as the adder.

Doesn't change the fact he has a good point its just a game it doesn't have to be realistic in every department and it isn't.

Actually each car has its own speed cap in online

 

 

 

Here yo go for handling stats .

Ztype :

<fMass value="1000.000000" /> // Mass

<fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel value="154.000000" /> // Top speed

 

Adder ;

<fMass value="1800.000000" /> // Mass

<fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel value="160.000000" /> // Top speed

 

 

[Trashdog2000]

This test proves nothing too because we are talking about fastest top speed not fastest lap time. In the lap time you have corners where brakes are used and a certain car may not be the best at handling turns but may be very fast.
