If you enjoy cars, keep the unarmoured one.

 

The only armoured car I have from the update is the cognoscetti... no idea what it's even called.

 

It's only minor but the 'padded' doors and slightly armoured windows piss me off. Add that to the fact you know it's slower and it just isn't right :panic:

I'm pretty sure OP was trolling with the "dope" rides and changed them back after taking those pictures.

 

In regards to the V12, I will be trading my Armored Cognoscenti LWB in for the V12. That enus is a terrible car and I never want to drive it again.

It's a terrible car for terrible drivers, good car for good drivers

There's little point with any of the armored LWB or really, any of the Executive armored cars that isn't called Schafter V12 (Armored).

 

The armor plates are hideous on all of them, and if you want that level of protection, the Schafter V12 provides all of it while being considerably faster than any other armored car.

 

 

And do you really need to bump a thread that's been silent for 4 weeks?

According to the wiki if you believe that, the armored version is actually faster. The normal version has acceleration on it though.

It's literally a terrible car based on broughy1332s test results.

i woud consider buying one for doing heists and freeroaming in most situations while using the other when coming across a stickie bomb noob, rpg noob or just when chasing people level 30 or higher having bounties

also the idea to own both the fastest 4 door car and the fastest armored car....i do personaly not get what woud justify owning the armored baller for an example, unless maybe for gta races in the suv class.....wich might again be interesting to own the armored v12.....to do gtaraces with it

I only own the baller so i have a completely free vip experience for everyone. I'm going to sell it when money gets tight again, along with the shafter. I'll keep the cog for no car emergency situations during vip shifts.

Did you pull this one out of your ass?

 

V12 for speed. V12 Armored for protection. It's really as simple as that. Why bitch, you're given a choice?

Because freeroam battling isn't the only thing in the game and the unarmoured one is faster and prettier?

Are you joking, I lover my Armored Baller LE LWB. It's dark blue with chrome Lozpeed Baller rims, and a ice white interior. The armor plating doesn't looks too much hideous on the Baller, probably because it's an SUV. And if some super car kid starts chasing me, guess what, i'm in a Range rover, off roadin isn't an issue. I also have both versions of the Cognoscenti "62" and they are MUCH better than the super diamond that I had. SD would slide at every corner, Cognoscenti just grips. Although it understeer, but what you expect from a car this big? It's like buying it and expecting a T20 handling, but if you ADAPT yourself to the car, it's an amazing vehicle. Thus why it's a bad car for bad drivers and a good car for good drives

Terribe for racing, but why in 1st place would you race with a limo? This car is all about luxury and some straight line performance, not about racing. Although I can surely race with it and beat some super diamond owners, it hasn't been built for racing. Great car on freemode, also the body is VERY resilient to damage. Whenever I take a head on collision, other car starts flying around, cog just slows down

What I'm saying is your initial point is invalid since putting a good driver in a bad car won't make that car good.

I mean that because the Cognoscenti isn't a bad car, never been, but with bad drivers it will suck. Now look at the Super Diamond. That is a bad car. I had one, and at every single corner that box on wheels started to understeer than oversteer and likely crash. A bad car with a good driver won't really work, the point is that the Cognoscenti IS a good car, it's just mostly driven by bad drivers. No, not very good for races, but as stated before, it can surely kick the ass of most Super Diamond owners. When you get used to it's handling everything is fine. Like the Schafter V12, at first I was like "I bought a Schwartzer with Schafter's body" but then I realized that I can't simply floor it after ever corner, I have to press RT slowly, like taking a second to press ithe 100%.

No, the Cognoscenti is statistically a bad car. I'll take my own experience and the test results from a dedicated racer over your claims. Is it a "good" and "nice" car in your opinion? Sure. Is it actually a good car? No.

 

Stop back pedaling. You initially called me a bad driver in a passive aggressive manner and your bad logic was exposed.

Thanks for the responses peeps :beerhat:

 

Having weighed up the pros and cons, I didn't think it would happen but I'm thinking I'm selling the V12. I'll get $200k back, but I dunno I mean I don't really need the money but I don't like having cars with no use.

 

Here are my V12s. You'll see why I'm struggling to sell the V12. That white/blue looks dope

You did a nice job of hiding the padding on the armoured version. And matching the wheels with the interior is a nice idea.

 

I only have the armoured. The armoured is a little slower, but it's better for freemode and VIP missions, plus it's wrongly categorised at the moment in the Sedans class (should be sports) so having one is essential is you ever do Sedan class racing - it murders the opposition. Like you, I can't justify having the V12 and V12 armoured, although both are really fantastic.

The Armored versions looked like they have ERA bricks which were intended for tanks.
