Lets Race (Sports & Super Discussion)

[Flash525]

Once upon a time we had Sports Cars, and Super Cars; two very different classification of vehicle. I prefer to race with Sports cars personally as there is more variety, but can appreciate some people think otherwise. Anyway, some time ago, Rockstar in their infinite wisdom released the Jester, and the Massacro; two very nice cars I thought, both to drive, and look at.

 

Some time after that, we got their racecar counterparts, opening the window for livery-themed counterparts for the other sports cars such as the Comet, Feltzer, Coquette and Banshee. What we got instead was an upgrade system which transitions our sports cars into supercars. The hell? Why? I would by lying if I said the Banshee upgrade didn't look neat, but (for the end price) it's an under performer; anyone driving an Entity or Zentorno will leave your Banshee upgrade behind.

 

The Sultan, lets be honest, it needed the upgrade, but did it really need to become a supercar? I'd have paid to upgrade the sports cars status of it, but I have no interest in turning all my cars into supercars. What's more, now that Rockstar have a cash cow here, you can bet that the other sports cars such as the Carbonizzare, Comet, Coquette etc will likely feature this upgrade system, and we'll find ourselves losing out on supercars when I would much rather have the option to mod these sports cars to a higher standing and race them as sports cars.

 

I would proposition Rockstar to bring the lower tier sports cars up to a better position; the Comet and Coquette could do with more speed, the 9f and Carbonizzare could use more traction, the Elegy could use better breaks. Throw some customization options our way enabling us to mod these cars further without the need to upgrade them to super status. Get rid of the dual car versions (Massacro/Racecar Massacro) and just have an option to add the livery if we so choose. Wouldn't hurt to add the livery options to the Buffalo, Gauntlet, Dominator and Sabre Turbo either; they're in single player already...

 

If you want to work on supercars, then do so, but start with adding speed to the Vacca, and not stealing cars from the sports line.

 

Thanks!

Oh, and for the love of god, sort your sodding traffic out!!!

PS: I know these are not official forums, but I don't believe for one minute that the odd Rockstar employee doesn't read through them on occasion.

I always loved and supported the idea of better classification. A lot more cars in the game could become competitive and more used if it wasn't for that absurd classification.

 

I usually say overhaul of base mechanics in the game is unlikely and unneeded, but considering new cars will constantly come out, overhauling car classification (and performance in some cases) would be greatly beneficial.

 

Not to mention that very fanatic users like Adam Brough already established a template and fully calculated a documented class system for them to use. Changing the class a car belongs to can literally be done in ONE SINGLE LINE OF CODE, I am already modifying this for myself on PC, but that's only for my client.

 

I'm absolutely agree, if there's one thing to revisit in this game, it's the car class system.

 

They better f*cking do it, otherwise the only cars which will be bought will be because of the novelty effect, and after a while we won't care anymore. Give a use and power to these cars, balance them so we can actually use them !!!

The Elegy doesnt need any better brakes. It's already one of the best sports cars.

 

Also, there isn't a Sabre Turbo Race Car in SP, you are thinkin about the Stallion.

 

Agreed otherwise. All along the same lines that Broughy has been preaching for a long time now.

Not every car has to be competitive...

Exept for a few overpowered vehicles and even fewer underpowered vehicles that is

I would like it if no Racecars were released.

 

I hate seeing a racecar livery in sports races.

 

I didn't read your whole first post btw, way too long for me to read. :v
