RE-7B w/Carbon Spoiler

[MaleTiger]

This demolishes everything on the airstrip. Even if you fully wheelspin on launch it eventually will catch up like the FMJ used to. If you slowly accelerate from launch without wheelspin it will destroy it even more. Nothing can beat it, tested the Tyrus, ETR1, X80 and Hakuchou.

 

It beats the Hakuchou easier than anything but loses if it wheelies the whole race. But I don't think that's a fair test, so the Akuma is the last option on a fair drag race. I'll test the Akuma soon.

 

I also tested with my friend the 811 on the highway as it has the top speed. Well, not anymore. This RE-7B leaves it a mile behind.

 

This only works with the Carbon Spoiler, not the stock spoiler unfortunately as it looks better. What do you guys think of the new drag racing king as well as the best car for tracks?

Heard it's faster than the others, while the Tyrus has better handling. Can anyone say something about that? I will probably go for the Tyrus anyway as it looks miles better, I just wanted to know.

Since when have the spoilers increased top speed? Is it exclusive to the RE7B?

Tyrus was faster than the ETR1 on the drag strip, not tested them next to each other. But the Tyrus had a less harsh defeat from the RE-7B compared to the ETR1.

 

As for handling the RE-7B got the fastest time on Cutting Coroners, then the ETR1 and third is the Tyrus. I think the Tyrus looks best though mainly because the doors are how the T20's should be

Yesterday Broughy made a video where he tested these 3 cars and it was the ETR1 first and the speed was 59.1 seconds.

 

His subscribers said the spoiler was a glitch where changing it does add benefit despite not showing on the bar so he Re uploaded where the RE-7B had a carbon spoiler and it went from 1:01:226 to 57 seconds! now the fastest car.

There is a stunt race whit a nice descent straight. I use a stock tyrus and make a impresive 180mph. The RE7b can make it to 200mph?

[MaleTiger]

I'm not sure on your mph times but I know the 811 was the top speed vehicle and the RE-7B makes it look slow.

I apologise if this is considered off-topic, but does removing the spoiler from the ERT1 add traction like a spoiler does or not?

It does, the logic being that anything other than stock spoiler improves traction.

[Smooth Longsack]

Nothing will ever beat the vindicator at the airport.

 

On topic: omg the Annis! I might sell my x80 to finance a... might hold off too. There are more cars coming!

[Imperisum]

Is this on PC only, because on my time with racing the RE7B, I haven't gone crazy fast like you have. I hope the console versions are all good because I really like the RE7B.

[MaleTiger]

Now I know the T20 spoiler adds no traction, it's just there for looks.

 

I am on Xbox One so it does work on console so just change the spoiler from stock. As for the Vindicator that's slow as f*ck, seen YouTube videos of it get destroyed by Hakuchou without wheelies.

It's not just a drag racing king, it is the new king overall. Top racers are breaking world records for a lot of tracks with the RE-7B. The advantages Tyrus has over the RE-7B are its amazing brakes and slightly better launch speed.

 

It is especially broken on the PC, much like the 811. You can go well over 180 miles per hour due to the carbon spoiler glitching out the suspension and perpetuating kerb boosts.

Actually, it does add traction that one. If you break the spoiler off the T20, it does not turn and handle as well as it does with spoiler on.

So are the console versions balanced out, is it just supposed to be fast or is it a glitch?

I was racing next to a Tyrus in my Tyrus and the God awful "catch-up" was off as well as slipstreaming. I had the standard spoiler and he had the second one (not the most expensive one) and when we were side by side in full speed he moved pass me and got way ahead. Not sure if my 100% armor had something to do with it as well..

On old-gen the spoiler didn't matter (same performance whether broken or not). On current-gen/PC it does matter as performance and lap times are diminished (roughly equal to old-gen's lap times)

Has this been tested at all?

[l Marksman God l]

Isn't it a glitch that happened a while ago with some cars like the Slamvan, Banshee 900R,etc?

On the Banshee 900R, that glitch became a feature as said by R* when a lot of players started to complain how awfully slow the 900R was for it's price.

[Adrian J.]

This car is definitely a new must have for racers. I did a stunt race yesterday before I bought it, turned catch up and split stream off, sat there at the starting line with my T20 with a smirk on my face. ...It was gone, I consider myself a good driver and nailed every corner and jump perfectly yet it wasn't enough. Got a 5 sec. difference, so I guess Broughy1322 is correct with his times.

Now I own one and it's absolute madness, it's so fast I see trees and lamps popping up for the first time.

R* need to make a new class as these are clearly proper race cars... but hey won't.

[javiEmma]

The placebo is real in this one.

[Spaff]

Does anyone here think that R* is going to do anything about this? I'm tempted to get the RE-7B but I'm paranoid they're gonna do something to fix it.

The problem with this answer is that glitching the spoiler off isn't changing the stock spoiler, because this is considered a body style. So glitching it off does not add or remove any traction bonuses, as it still is technically a stock spoiler.

No placebo, this is straight-up drag strip testing. The difference is enormous.

[SkittyM]

Probably for the T20 spoiler, likely the same placebo that people had when they though wheels actually affected anything, just one of those things i guess. RE-7B though sounds different however, since you can actually track speed ingame.

[javiEmma]

Interesting, so this spoiler is gltched? Gonna try it out.

Not the Banshee speed "fix",I think it had something to do when you slammed it, not to sure.

There is a remove spoiler option for the ERT1; there's no glitching involved. The Tyrus and the RE-7B, however, do not have the remove spoiler option, which sucks.

Says the stupid one that writes a comment then realises they're wrong...

We aren't speaking of the Emperor though. We are speaking of the RE-7B. It is clearly visualized in the stats of the Emperor, and there is clearly an option to remove the spoiler on the Emperor. On the RE-7B, there is no option, and no stat change when performing the glitch (visually). Due to this it is safe to assume that removing the spoiler via glitch has no effect on the traction of the car versus the stock spoiler that comes with the purchase.

 

This type of glitch is what is known to the older players (and forum goers) as a body style mod, which does not change the performance of the vehicle. A good example of a similar instance is the Elegy RH8, which has a body style with a stock spoiler, and a body style with no spoiler at all. It performs exactly the same, whether the stock spoiler is there or not, because it is entirely visual.
