Misa.And.Her.Hubby Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) When it's time to buy my 4th supercar, I want something special. Because I already have Tempesta, Entity XF and Nero. They have satisfied all my needs for stunt and street races. 811 holds the highest top speed. At least that's something special, although I'm not interested in drag races. On the other hand I've learned it suffers from very poor traction. It's hard to steer. And when it steers, it loses a hell of lot speed. So I need to know a few more to make the decision. Such as... Is it fun to drive? Is it easy to win a stunt / street race with it? Thank you very much.

JamesTheCat Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) 811 is wicked fast but has a low traction. I own one. To be honest I didn't find any difficulty manuvering it regardless of its performance status. No doubt it's very nice looking. That wicked speed I mentioned before isn't very consistent in corner heavy race tracks. But in race courses that let cars reach their top speed, 811 is the way to go. Why not leaning towards the T20? In my opinion it worths every penny. Edited January 31, 2017 by JamesTheCat Misa.And.Her.Hubby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coelacanth72 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I love my 811 and have won a lot of races with it. It's a very difficult car to drive well, but it's crazy top speed could carry the day if you put in the time to get good with it. Then, they nerfed it. Then, the Nero came out. Now, it sits in the garage. The 1mph advantage over the Nero isn't nearly enough, especially as the Nero is much better in every other category, including curb boosting, so the top speed advantage doesn't mean much. Ill never sell mine for sentimental reasons but I wouldn't recommend one. We'll see what happens next time they tweek the physics.

MikeyDLuffy Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Playing I/E helped me make up my mind in not buying the 811. I prefer the supers I already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coelacanth72 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Yeah if you actively repress the notion that it's a 918, or even vaguely a Porsche, it's not so bad. Sadly the closest you'll get is the specter... just don't look at the back or sides... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSavageDeathlyCloud Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 drag races. That is really the only practical use for it, beyond that, it just sucks technically.

4ward Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) 811 is good for drag races and straight stunt races like Plummet. The downside of this car is low traction and big turning radius on high speeds. Edited January 31, 2017 by 4ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach1bud Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) The man, the myth, the legend. These three things do accurately describe me, yes. The genius I am legally a genius. who thinks he knows everything I still do not know what to get my wife for Valentines Day. has to post a cocky, but oh so satisfying comment. I am probably the least cocky person here, but I do agree that my posts are oh so satisfying, and I apparently others do as well. He asked for reasons to buy the car. Which I answered to the fullest extent. There is no reason for this poster to buy this vehicle. Being fun to drive and winning stunt races are both situational and they would most likely not have the same experience as others. That leaves two things, how it looks, and how it sounds. Both of which would be opinions and it can be assumed that they have already watched videos and seen screenshots enough times to make up their own mind on those subjects. Other considerations would be OP's opinion on the Porsche Carrera GT and other super cars, again, would be something the OP has already made up their own mind on. I stand by my statement. If OP isn't sure, then it will not be worth the purchase, as anything worth purchasing is immediately evident if someone is buying it on the basis of passion. Hate "people" like you on these forums. Ah. I believe I am a "person", at least I hope so, or I am a very human like ape. Either way, if you hate people that post intelligent, thought out posts, that are generally accepted and awarded for their commitment to the forums, the community, and Rockstar Games, then I suppose you hate I and many others here.

JokseCDTi Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It's pretty good for the plummet stunt race. I usually win by 15-20 seconds when using it. Unless I'm racing against very good drivers, then I loose to x80s and Nero customs', and not by that much. A few seconds really. Other than that, I mostly just keep it for the looks and the fact that it's the fastest car (not bike; and f*ck the fugly 900R) in the game.

OT: The 811 is sexy as f*ck IMO but I couldnt get on with the handling though, especially at speed which is essentially what you want from a supe. I've still got it, just dont drive it.. edit: Also, why not try the stock version out in a supercar race? Thats what I do when im thinking of making a purchase. That, or after a few Imp/Ex sales.. then you can test it out under extreme conditions.. i.e against T-1000's in blue Sultan RS's.

MechanicMammal Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 If you like racing Highway tracks or going for top speed challenges in free roam it can be/was useful, It is quite easy to drive tbh but far to much under steer to be competitive in a actual race with corners. I have one but rarely use it, I was using it for the Top speed free roam challenge until the rocket voltic came out that is, and when the RE7B was buggy . I think it is a shame they reduced it's top speed because it was not something that needed to be nerfed in my opinion it gave the car a purpose and I like the way that different cars can perform better depending on track in this game which having a good speed edge gave it a reason to actually race it if the conditions were right. Ha sorry this turned from advice into a rant lol. If you like the way it looks than that is always a decider I am indifferent TBH I like parts of it, not that keen on the spoiler personally but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it makes it unique.
