The Vapid Flash GT Appreciation Thread

I wish the interior wasn't the primary..I have mine like K. Blocks but hate the inside.. Probably go for a grey primary instead later.. Only logged on to buy them, customize and that was it.

I initially had an issue with that too but upon further inspection I saw Ken is rocking it the same way in the fiesta so I made my peace with it :D

Looks off-putting in a way though..know what I mean?

 

 

Here's mine..with the Drift Tampa(which I kind of caved and rebought to go with it)

 

 

 

 

tfw Drift Tampa livery has more detail.

 

 

 

 

Colour: #232728AA

 

It makes the drift Tampa look....small?...

The Vapid Flash GT is a nice looking car... Looks like the Ford Fiesta rally car... it is fun to drive in free roam, is a little bit drifty in the corners but controllable ...

 

The biggest disappointment for me is that it has a severe top speed deficiency! It is 10 mph to 16 mph slower than the other cars in the "sports car" class... as a result it is great for free roam cruising but will not be much good for racing. You would think that if Rockstar is going to put out a car that costs over $2 million with upgrades... that you would get better performance for your money - the Pariah has handling that is as good or better than the Flash GT, it is a little less expensive ($250,000 less, even the Seven 70 at $1 million less is faster), the Pariah has faster acceleration and a much, much higher top speed... So, enjoy the Flash GT, driving in free roam lobbies but it is not going to win in most races.

 

Just an fyi... you can color the stock wheels with the iFruit app.

Drift Tampa is longer but yeah, being that the Tampa is like a older Mustang/Dart combo with other vehicles, it's small in height.

 

It's huge..like, our characters are 6' there's enough space for a midget on our head.

 

Idk about you though, but I'm 6' irl too, roofs are always an issue for me in vehicles.. I have a friend who has a Fiesta and there's little room above my head..it's a bit oversized in that sense.. lol

How does it performs at Rally stunt race?

has an offroad traction loss of 0.3 which is mega. Handles well over small bumps. Overall very good offroad. love the car but wait until it's 25% off. Too expensive atm

This car is really oversized or it's just because of the widebody kit?

I'd say a mix of both but it's definitely tall..too tall. or we sit very low..too low.

Its fun as heck to rally in, a fun drive that performs well but certainly not worth the price unless of course that doesn't matter to you because the car performs well enough and looks neato and cmon, at only a $30 Shark Card purchase its a steal!

 

 

 

Can someone post a pic of this car wi4h some other rally cars such as the omnis, Sultan RS and the Tropus

Check the thumbnail =D

It's hard to tell is this thing is oversized or not for that picture, can any one comment on if this thing is as bag as the tyrant when it comes to size?

Pleasantly surprised by this one actually, I thought the flags would ruin it but it's still fun to drive. Would doubtlessly have better speed if the flags were patched though.

 

I still wake up screaming in the middle of the night, having dreamt about trying to push the Taipan past an NPC cyclist.

The handling characteristics make it fun to drive. If only it was around a mil. The Taipan is a joke. It's not good at anything

I don't know if it's been said, but does anyone know what the downforce multiplier on this car is?

Holy f*cking sh*t does this thing love to wobble about. I was doing that rally stunt race, and the car was going all over the damn place off road. Its mass was that of a feather.

 

Or maybe it's just that I can't drive it.

true , i made some adjustments on my Flash GT (softer sport suspentions , and tuner wheels) that made the car perform way better IMO...although it still "wobbles" and even slides too much for my Taste , I still managed to smash my "Rallye" stunt race record (the old one was on my beloved Comet Safari) by .... 10 sec !!! made me actually a bit sad , because I LOVE the comet safari and it s stil the best car to drive in the whole game IMO ... the Flash GT is definitely the fastest Rallye car in the game (but at the same time, it s one of the most difficult to drive , made so many mistakes in the Rallye stunt race because it just "jumps" too much) ... this car is even 11th in the newest broughy test in the sportscar category , even with all these flags !!!

Really wish they had available vehicle restrictions, that way we could limit races to the rally sub class for sports and the same goes for omitting bikes from off road races. Would love to see how the Flash stacks up against strictly the other cars in the rally sub class around a few of my custom rally tracks and circuits.

I have a race made specifically for rally cars too, it's 20km long going all over the place in the hills and sandy shores. More dirt than anything.

 

I actually made it randomly cruising in my GB200. Took a scenic route and ended up making it a race..never published it though and still WIP props wise.

like I said in my post above , the Flash GT would KILL the whole Rallye sub-class , just like the Pariah killed every sportscar ...it was 10 sec. faster than any other "rallye" car in the "rallye" stunt race according to my testing , despite the whole flags (now imagine R* removing the flags in the next DLC :D )

I would love to try that one out once it's done!

Maybe if they removed the new flags... as of now the Comet Safari is the top of the rally sub class, Kuruma not included of course.

I´m a Pfister fan and I looove the Comet safari,trust me (see my signature).... I would love to see the Safari win over the Flash GT , but I have to admit that the Flash GT destroys it , unfortunately :( like I said , it wasn´t 2-3 sec. gap , it was 10 sec. between them on the Rallye stunt race according to my tests !!!

the only chance that the Safari would have is once the Flash GT makes a mistake (and boy it´s so easy to make such mistakes with that car , it has weird bouncy suspensions and it spins just a bit too much IMO) , otherwise all of the rallye cars (Safari , Tropos , Kuruma etc... ) have NO chance at all, really ... it´s definitely the new king in the Rallye sub-class , and even one of the fastest sportscar overall (according to Broughy test , yeah I trust him ) , all that despite the flags (which is incredible TBH )

Still , the Comet Safari is the best car to drive in GTA IMO and I still love that car...

I may re-test the Safari on the Rallye Stunt race today , though ... maybe I got better at driving which could explain that 10 sec. gap between both cars :p

 

EDIT : so I re-tested both the Comet Safari and the Flash GT ... did improve my time on the Safari by 2-3 sec ( I don´t know how TBH,maybe I am a better driver 4 months later,after the safari´s release :D ) , but I did improve on the Flash GT as well ( 0.5 sec. faster than the previous best lap) ... so around 7 sec. gap between the safari and the Flash GT on "Rallye" , according to my testing...

I am surprised that almost nobody goes for non street racer / rallye variant.

Above Omnipotence

All I'm gonna say is that without the flags, this vehicle is easily top 5 on technical circuit tracks.
