Gnocchi Flip Flops Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 "What makes a car fun to drive?" Depends on the car. I just bought, of all things, a Rapid GT convertible (playing as Trevor in SP I stole one as soon as he moved to the city. Just seemed like his kind of PV). I love driving it in FP in FR, I love looking at it, I love wishing I had one IRL, just don't try driving the damn thing in a stunt race. Same. I love the Rapid GTs. I gave one a spin yesterday and it was very nice to drive in a fun way. The characteristics I liked most about it would hold it back in a race for sure though. Doesn't matter.

Actually, in a race with randoms, you can easily stomp a mudhole in peoples asses with that car. It's def got some get up and go that can leave sh*tty drivers in the dust. I wouldn't use it in a Premium Race though Gnocchi Flip Flops and Forza Harrd 2 Twitter - Instagram - Youtube - Social Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfoam Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Loooooool, Rapid GT is fine until it has to turn then it's worst in class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halal Cyborg Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Loooooool, Rapid GT is fine until it has to turn then it's worst in class I've won with it too as well as Machbud... It's faster than at least 3 sports cars without a doubt too...that's without even thinking... If they're set to stock it's a lot more controllable also.

Mach1bud Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Loooooool, Rapid GT is fine until it has to turn then it's worst in class. Not saying it is at the top by no means, I am just saying it isn't at the very bottom either. I don't think it turns bad at all really, yeah it's got understeer but that is easily overcome at the cost of some cornering speed. Point is you can use it to beat randoms, where if you try and use a Blista Compact....the outcome may not be that great even against randoms lol.

The worn NPC modded Rapid GT is one of my most favourite cars in my garage but just to look at with the occasional lap around the block, for sure as hell dont enjoying driving it fast when a Massacro is just the same without the flaws. A Bison though.. that's fun to drive. Edited November 27, 2016 by elfoam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechanicMammal Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 After reading a few of the posts about good stock cars which do not perform competitively when upgraded one came to my mind. Presenting the Coil Voltic! upgraded it wont win a thing but in stock form on tight tracks that are full of corners it is as fast as any super car, the main reason for this is that it does not really have any performance upgrades that effect speed and acceleration. But stock it is one of the fastest accelerating cars and it sticks to the road like it is on rails, not hearing the engine takes some getting used to tho.

Zader Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I prefer cars that oversteer to the point that it's almost difficult to control them. Gnocchi Flip Flops, A Maned Wolf, -LN- and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vod364kax Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Scag i think you're forgetting that alot of the people that complain about bad handling are people who spend alot of time doing CEO and Biker missions in free mode and they generally want a fast and responsive vehicle that can allow them to escape any player that might want to kill them Edited November 29, 2016 by Vod364kax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How am I forgetting that? Why do I even need to cover that? It's pretty much common sense. When I need a useful work horse I use my Bestia GTS. It has all the grip in the world, it can off-road, it's FAST, it has sharp and direct steering and gets stuff done. Common sense dude. When you need a reliable car, use a reliable car.

What idiot is going to use a powerful heavy unbalanced RWD car for getting sh*t done? Me. Sometimes. It's fun. If you know what you're doing or just don't care then you can drive anything going to victory. Had a chase a while back with a buzzard chasing me. I jumped in a near-by futo and high tailed. Thing is wayward at the rear and isn't the fastest. I got her out of the hills and used the swing to make myself a non target. Got to my flat and just drove in (luckily had a space). I went passive and sold the car. Long and short you adapt to what you drive as you don't know when you might have to hi-jack a car (especially if yours has been blown to bits and the replacement is down at the MM drop off). I do agree with what Scag has said, but sometimes you don't have a choice. Edited November 30, 2016 by Cudwieser Gnocchi Flip Flops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnocchi Flip Flops Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 LOL I see what you're saying and I get sh*t done in my less equipped cars too because it's fun and the game is supposed to be fun. I'm just like, if you're serious about getting stuff done don't use the wrong tool for the job and then complain. But that's what these people like doing I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Cudwieser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-LN- Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Well, I like Muscle cars and Sports Classics; they can all be quite fun and challenging--especially in the rain and on off-road segments. Though I do enjoy racing and want suitable, competitive vehicles--I have more fun when driving and controlling the car is just as challenging as the track itself. I don't mind fast paced, circuit style races with extremely fast super or sports cars that handle almost "too well", but put me in a race with Slamvans in the rain; Futos around a course with tricky, frequently sharp turns; Mambas on dirt; etc, and I will definitely find more enjoyment as a whole. Unfortunately much of these concepts are lost--especially within the new stunt races (where extremely responsive and almost unrealistic handling are almost required), but I do wish we could see more races with cars that are very challenging to drive--especially within unfavourable weather or unpredictable terrain. I have made quite a few races locked to specific, challenging vehicles, but R* broke the coding during the Cunning Stunts update and now anyone can use whatever custom vehicle they own in that class. It's a shame, really. Edited December 1, 2016 by -LN- V4S and Gnocchi Flip Flops 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
