Progen Itali GTB Appreciation Thread


Recommended Posts

You know, I always dismissed this car because of its name (still salty about it) & the Nemesis inspiration, I don't think I ever spawned it in the Creator or even visited this thread before today.

 

 

But the combination of of it being on sale this week (30%), Arena workshop, Redwood livery and having more money than sense are tempting me to get one as Track Days supercar ... for role playing and whatnot.

 

If I end up getting one, it'll be my second Progen, but I will NOT start a Progen collection.

I actually might pick one up again, I sold mine but looking at my old pictures here, I miss it.

 

I'd do Petrol Green I made awhile ago though, looks really good. I based it off of a P1

^^The custom is quite different to the standard version.

Look better to me aswell when done right.

Yeah I have many issues with this car aswell..

But it's ok. Nice to have one in the (progen) collection 😉

 

Yessir.

 

If I end up getting one, I'll most likely set it up like This one , but with different wheels.

Nice to see father and son playing this game together, my dad played the story and loved it, one of his favourites but he felt it was way too short. He loved Vice City as well.

 

Sadly, Online never grabbed his attention.

 

I believe I used a Gasoline Green pearl? It's a tealish, greenish pearl anyway. base is a custom green. Looks very appealing in certain lighting, best pic I have of it is on my Triple-X R.

Notice it looks blue but green? I haven't been able to understand it since I made it.. Probably the base, pearl and lighting playing together.

 

I would definitely use it on the GTB Custom though, the lines are more aggressive, just wanted to showcase it at the time.

 

(Believe I posted it in the Crew Colour Showroom thread.)

I definitely agree, much more to do with it.

 

Don't expect a top tier racer though, plenty vehicles out pace this car now. Still fun to drive and looks good.

 

Also @ geniusus pick green, I've always liked the colour green, my mom has said I've liked it since I was a little kid. One colour I dislike is blue.. but I've been told for years, I look good in blues.

Paper is not ideal, I remember ripping bills by accident or getting bills that were taped together over 9000 times.

 

The first renditions of the plastic bills would melt in dryers as well, now I always check them.. Despite using debit only. It just became a habit for many years.

This car is great! I applied some visual mods and engine lvl 4... I cant say I want to spend another 750k on this whip... Its pretty amazing though. Its like your ice skating with this thing sometimes

The custom is still one of my favorite supers, and I still refuse to put anything but the second (no diffuser) front bumper option on it due to that stupid looking diffuser, some of those front bumpers are so cool looking but I can't get over that diffuser lol. Why each bumper doesn't have a no diffuser option like the stock bumper is beyond me.

 

Also this is one of the few cars that still has a bugged modification menu for me, still has a gold star near the "Interior" option even though I've long ago cycled through all the option there.

For yor information, these spoilers available for Benny's "Custom" version are offset.

This doesn't happen in regular, non-Benny "Custom" one.

If you can't see it here, check this in-game. They are offset by few inches. It's not a matter of perspective or angle.

What's up with the tail lights of the regular Itali GTB?

You gotta admit that at least it was clever.

Mhh, those bolded letters... I guess they have a meaning 😁

Fun Fact: "Itali" doesn't end with a "y", maybe because in Italian you'd also need the last letter for having the same word.

I always found this car's cabin to be too angular and not rounded / smooth enough for the shape of the car. Essentially what I am saying is take the T20's cabin and paste it onto this car, and it would look much better. Also getting rid of the Trion Nemesis' weird rear windshield would help.

Haha yep.

 

Gotta give it to them, no one does it like R*.

 

That said, I still want a 458/488/F8.

Ah, so the last I in Itali is silent. You learn something new every day.

 

Does the custom version get stuck with that front bumper? Personally I think it looks a little big. Looks like the car's licking the road. I've been thinking of buying this. I want a city slicker not a city licker.

So just got my custom gtb and it's awesome, i did see someone with a NOS kit under there hood but I have no idea where or how they upgraded it. Help?

I can't check right now, but it's probably linked to the roll cage or dash upgrade.

Even if so, just because its shown, doesnt mean you can utilize it as NOS like the arena cars...
