Kid-A Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Am I the only one who's a bit dissapointed that they used the name Vortex for the upcoming bike? It's a cool name, but I'm just upset that they gave it to the bike instead of just adding the Vortex from San Andreas. The Bovver 64 would be the new equivalent anyway.

I actually forget all about the Bovver 64. Though, the Vortex will forever be a classic beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Corbeau Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) I don't for a heartbeat buy that this new Tornado is based on that custom wagon. Also, could somebody who has it on PC check and see if there are vents on the trunklid? If so, that would definitely be where the radiator is.

There's no doubt in my mind that they intended for it to be an alcohol fueled dragster, which, as Mach1Bud pointed out, runs cool enough not to need a radiator.

reform Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Not getting anything this past week was a bit of a bummer. I guess they intend to draw Bikers update stuff out for a week after Halloween too. Next week should feel pretty packed though, with bikers stuff probably Tuesday, and Halloween stuff Thursday or Friday, but then I guess just under 2 weeks until the final Bikers content comes out on Nov 8, Just a bit of a shame I'm not particularly looking forward to any of these vehicles. Wonder if there'll be anything else before Christmas. Edited October 23, 2016 by reform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as I am pointing out right now, that's only for quarter mile or 8th mile drag racing. Not driving on the street. And especially not for any kind of extended high speed driving.

There's plenty of examples with the bikes, there's a some stuff at Bennys where you can have a floor shifter and a column shifter simultaneously, there's the broken rear suspension on numerous Benefactors. . .

Also, could somebody who has it on PC check and see if there are vents on the trunklid? If so, that would definitely be where the radiator is. Really? To me it is 100% based on that car. Wayyyy to similar not to be. Sure, it's not a wagon, but it is the closest it could possibly be with the assets we have in game already. Like, I just don't see how anyone could deny it. Let's see. 1. Both are late 50's Chevy based. 2. Both rusty 3. Both lack front clip 4. Both lack visible radiator 5. Both have Slicks on the rear, that protrude from the fenders. 6. Both have mismatching front/rear wheels 7. Both have a solid axle front suspension. 8. Custom exhaust option mimics the real car. 9. Both have bodies channeled over the frames, making the rear wheelwells cut through the rear trim pieces. 10. Both have a small bar in front with the blinkers built into them. 11. Both have identical front rim designs.

Torq Thrusts are some of the most popular wheels around, second only to Cragar SSs. The fact that isn't a wagon is a huge strike. Last Halloween, when Rockstar added the Lurcher, they actually made a Cadillac Hearse instead of just smacking a livery on the Buccaneer and calling it done. They half-ass a lot of things, but I don't think this is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The size and fitment of the tires is what I was pointing out, which is uncommonly large and offset. I also don't know what decade you live in where Cragars are more popular than Torq Thrusts lol. Idk maybe in different parts of the country. Oh and like the other guy said, The Buccanner is a Buick. But we an go back and forth all day, I'll let it rest. I still say it is 100% based on that car.

Or rather, that they have a different opinion to you and you feel the need to justify that they're wrong by saying they're being nitpicky and pedantic. I thought you'd accepted that people sometimes don't see the same thing that you do but obviously not. It's a bit pathetic frankly.
