Progen Itali GTB Appreciation Thread


Recommended Posts

Did changing the interior increase the top speed? I have tried testing without interior changes top speed was 125mph after changing interior dash to carbon race which made the nos appear in the front trunk the top speed is around 145mph.

Speedos don't give an accurate representation of how fast you're going

What does GTB stand for? I like the car, but what's the deal with the standard version's tail lights? It's as if they flipped the driving lights and the brake lights. Is that a glitch or a terrible design feature? Would they fix something like this?

Gran Turismo Berlinetta. Because Rockstar are insane and think that naming a British/American supercar that isn't incredibly dumb.

This thing is really growing on me. The more time I spend with it the more I like it's unconventional design, it's fun to drive and sounds great.

 

I still hate the huge diffuser though and honestly can't see myself ever putting on a bumper with it even though I like some of the other bumper designs far more than the stock bumper lol. Oh well, that dumb grin ain't too bad :p

 

Also anyone else think it's weird they have the front and rear fender options in the same sub menu?

 

Edit: ok I love this thing, easily a new favorite.

I upgraded to the custom today for the last livery, and it sure looks nice, but it's slidey as hell in races. I think I'm going to get another Itali non custom when I've got extra cash or sell my custom. Can't decide.

Going back and reading this thread from the beginning I have to laugh at all the overt hate this thing was getting. I admit I wasn't big on it at first but it's easily become one of my favorite cars.

 

Also I kept seeing it brought up but I see no gumpert apollo in this thing and am confused as to why anyone thought so... but maybe that's just me.

 

Actually had a funny situation the other day; was in a public lobby dickin around in Benny's and once I finished decided to rile up the cops so I could have a bit of fun running from them. Once back on the street I proceed to get some attention on me and after getting a nice 4 star wanted level I take off and just start ripping around town. By the time I was trying not to get my sh*t shoved in by the cops while up on the freeway bridge (heading towards elysium island) one of the local PCs who had been sitting stationary down on the street below in his Insurgent decided to join the fun and see if he could lend the cops a hand.

 

I had kinda forgotten how intense sh*t like that can get, dude was doing good at staying close enough behind to be in my mini map even if he was too far to do anything to me with his guns. That coupled with the constant heavy police presence made for not much room for error (although tbh anytime I hit a nice open stretch like the freeway the dude quickly fell behind). Ended up flying all over the city and through the hills, was a blasty blast. Ended up having to hit the unfinished subway to shake the cops and that threw enough of a wrench in Insurgent guys plans that he broke off as well. All in all it was a satisfying venture.

 

To be honest I had kind of gotten bored of my supers (I own 8 at the moment) and even with the fresh Tempesta wasn't driving any of them for more than just brief stints, but this car has really grabbed my attention and is currently my go to. It's actually kinda killed the hype I had for the Specter too lol, I mean I'm still definitely going to buy it, but not sure when I'll actually pick it up now as I'm not in any rush (and I'm broke).

 

Anyone on the fence about this car for whatever reason, if you can afford it I fully recommend just giving it a try. Yeah it's a steep entry price, especially if you're getting the custom, but in the end it's just virtual money.

 

edit: still not sure what color I want to paint it or if I wanna throw specific wheels on so for now it remains like this.

so I finally bought the ItaliGTB , the regular version . I actually didn t feel like "I really need this car" , but I saw that the regular version hast some pretty decent customisations , so I pulled the trigger on it , given that I actually do have enough money in GTA :)

I m pretty satisfied with the results , that Lava-Red and those carbon wheels suit the car pretty good , as well as the bumper options and the carbon applications.

so this car perform pretty good imo , there are 2 things that are actually not great : its understeer and its braking . pity , it would be one of the fastest in the game without those 2 issues ....

anyway , I m starting to like it , it s pretty decent :)

At first look, I though this was a pass,but after seeing what people did with the custom I had to try it myself. And to me, it's basically what I wanted in the Turismo on roids (although it might still have the upper hand in it's bargain price and still gorgeous profile.) My only complaints are minor: the exhaust options on the Custom are disappointing, Liveries are an expensive item to be indecisive about, and why no roof scoop option?

Still really like this car. It's fun to buzz around the city in, especially with handbrake turns. To those who complain that it slides too much, you're just not driving it correctly. Once you embrace it and learn how to use the sliding to your advantage it'll be better. I've been taking it around a very tricky track of mine and I can get it to less than a second slower (1min 47) than the T20.

I'll take your post far more seriously simply because you decided to make the entire thing bold.

 

That shows that you really know what you're talking about and I should value your opinion.

The tuner exhausts are ugly as hell...obviously I bought it but I cannot get over those stupid exhausts.

 

I NEVER have them on my cars but the bennys version gives you no choice

And I should take yours more seriously simply because you went to the effort of having a gif of a hipster as your avatar, as that's how sound logic works.

have the same feeling about the customs, Halal... I hate those colored exhausts at Benny's as well... The custom car itself looks phenomenal, but that blueish exhaust color... Big no no... But nothing you can do..

 

I own both versions and not one of them dissappoints (apart a lil that exhaust at Benny's)... The car also reminds me a lil of a new Corvette. right or not, that alone made it a winner for me, eheh... Great car... Too bad I couldn't test it in the snow a few days ago... Would have completed my vids...Can't have it all...

 

Great cars... On par with the Neros (IMHO).
