The question is whether the Buccaneer or Sultan should win? The Sultan is the superior car, has amazing modification options, destroys the Buccaneer in terms of performance, and is amazing in both its original and bennified forms. But isn't the Buccaneer the true representation of a Benny's vehicle? Well, I don't know. Think back to GTA San Andreas and the mod shop near the railway station in San Fierro. It was a tuner mod-shop, not a lowrider mod-shop. The current Benny's is mostly regarded as a lowrider mod-shop, probably because of stupid Lamar, instead of more versatile tuner station which is more consistent with the history of GTA. On that note, I say Karin Sultan all the way!

Benny's is a GTA Online exclusive development.

 

Considering the fact that San Fierro (as a whole) isn't even in the HD universe and the garage cited above isnt even a Benny's (or in Los Santos), that point seems kinda moot.

 

Transfender was a mod shop in SA that offered hydraulics and there was a dedicated lowrider shop called Loco Low Co in Willowfied, which was a neighborhood in the hood of 3D-era Los Santos. Still not a Benny's but the history of lowrider customizations is very strong.

1. Albany Buccaneer - 19

2. Declasse Voodoo - 3 (+1) Come on, this is my favorite Lowrider in the game. Do it some justice people!

3. Karin Sultan - 34 (-2) I don't want this car to win. IDK why.

The point I'm trying to make, which you didn't quite grasp, is that 'Benny' style modifications are in no-way exclusively reserved for lowriders.

 

I initially labelled the Buccaneer as the more 'worthy' winner of this elimination game, but thinking back, I was wrong. The Sultan is every bit as worthy as the Buccaneer, just not a lowrider.

 

Obviously you're going to support the Buccaneer because it's more your style.

I played San Andreas, but Benny's is something else entirely. San Andreas wanted to show and probably satirize real life car culture, but Benny's just gives some popular options that you would expect a game to have and of course spend money on. Aside from the Lowriders DLC, Benny's is probably relegated to only side projects some developers do for fun which is why the last releases were in between DLCs and also why the options are way better than LSC option. Of course, they can do another Benny's DLC, but the effort put into the DLC Tornado versus the effort put into the non-DLC Sultan is night and day.

Pretty accurate assessment Ngazi ^

 

Ahhh I see what you're saying Jenkiiii, nothing wrong with that.

 

Wouldn't say the Bucc is more my style than the Sultan tho. I've driven the Sultan much more in game.

And if you take your Sultan out for a quick spin and accidentally nudge the door while entering the mod-shop, that's a base $1000 repair fee, thank you very much. I could easily live without Benny's for my daily customisation needs, lol.

Benny is an attempt to offer a high level customization. Not talking about prices, the shop is great, and shows an exclusive style, but neither Lowrider or Racing only. I think people see it as a Lowrider only shop because its release, and the most vehicles there. What I really miss is, they tried to make race cars there, and it worked pretty well as we can see by Sultan and Banshee. Not talking about performance, both of these have great options for accessories (even though I seriously miss a roll cage for Banshee), and they did sell well as I can see. Unfortunately, R* brought wrong cars there, such as Minivan and Sabre, which are not lowriders, definitely. Anyway, Benny's is a way to customize better your cars now, and I seriously hope they bring more race cars. I still dream of a Nascar race car, to be tuned there, or a GT race car, or even, more tuning race cars.

 

Keep in mind: Loco Low Co =/= Benny's. One is a garage in the back of a house, other is a abandoned shed, one is at gangsters territory, other is between commerical area and popular houses, one is simple, even at look, other is a full garage, even more modern than any LSC.

Ok.

Well everyone - It's been a great game, also it was my first elimination game to host and i thank everyone involved for making it go so smoothly!

Thanks again to everyone that was involved, whether you just voted or helped to keep the scores correct.

 

 

 

Although it's not quite over yet, does anyone have any ideas for the next game?

It has been a good game I've enjoyed this one, car games are often the best. On that note my suggestion is to hold the various car class games again, there have been so many new additions since the first time around that they'd be like new games. Loads of new voters as well who won't have taken part in them.

Seriously, start doing the Various Vehicle Classes again.

Edit: If we were to go through the car classes again, one idea I have to make it more exciting and lively is to brand the next batch of games as a "Season 2" or something like that, similar to Survivor. I think that another nice touch would be a video trailer for the upcoming games (some things that the trailer could include are screenshots of the final vote in some of the previous car games, introductions for some of the new vehicles, and clips of cars ramming other cars and taking them out), although someone else would have to make it since I suck at making good GTA videos.

 

Edit 2: What I meant by trailer is one video that previews the entire "Season 2". I don't mean trailers for each upcoming game as I can imagine that being too tedious. Although if someone does want to make a trailer for each upcoming game, then go ahead.

This is more like a Moonbeam, not the "Minivan".

hey wait for me to contribute

waw, the voodoo is gone ... well at least it made it to the podium .. but for me , lowrider=voodoo .

the buccaneer is nice too , but I don´t like the fact that the secondary colour influences the Headlight-frames in the front & back , it looks odd tbh ,I want them to be chromed ...

I can already say congrat to the Sultan RS then
