Kushology Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 All I'm gonna say is that without the flags, this vehicle is easily top 5 on technical circuit tracks. If this is factual like you've been able to test yourself.. Wouldn't surprise me.. These flags limit it greatly but depite that, it's damn near the top already with them.

Arrows to Athens Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) I am surprised that almost nobody goes for non street racer / rallye variant. ​ Based on a mix of Ford Focus RS/ST Black and Red Edition. I did! Surprisingly, we both got the same wheels.

Hellbendzor Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I like this car alot.. Its a handful with handling, but fun to handle... it likes to lift of the ground, only to stabilize when hitting the ground again. A little bit more power would be nice, but even as it is now, I can drift around with it... When I can powerslide (a lil), I'm a happy camper... Looks very similar to a previous generation focus RS... As such, I made mine green, eheh... This car is a definite musthave for a (GTA online) car-collector IMWO...

rlk232 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 It's actually a solid vehicle, it's just that the price tag is BONKERS. More than 80% of supers and all sports cars up until now. I'm prepping for a 2.1m sports car in the final update. Just bleeping watch. Fatsanchez, Yellow Dog with Cone, Geisterfaust and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm prepping for a 2.1m sports car in the final update. Just bleeping watch. Beats out the Ocelot Lynx as the most expensive Sports class car (I believe, anyways). I'm actually sad that we didn't get the Flash from SA. I think the final update will have price tags way over 3 million. I dread to think exactly what cars they choose to have that price tag.

Just bleeping watch. I'm just wondering who actually comes up with these prices over there at Rockstar. I would guess it's just cos they're following a trend of things getting more expensive cos they're more recent...although the Issi Classic is extremely cheap compared to this. At this point, I'm guessing they just make 'modern' cars extremely expensive and 'classic' cars cheaper. Prices seem to be at random.

xARMEDx Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Sorry, this car is ugly af imo. I cant get past things like idk a 6" thick lower lip? And its 1.7 mil price tag. I bought the Lynx instead, cause I didn't have it yet and it's around the same price but oh so much nicer again, imo. Mind you, I haven't driven a Flash GT yet either, so there's that. I'm still waiting to see one at a car show where I'm like "Oh damn, now I gotta get one" but I haven't seen any variation yet, that has me dropping my pants and reaching for the tissues lol.

xARMEDx Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) That actually looks really nice. And it's different compared to all the Ken Block ones. +1 for your entry sir well done! Agreed, good look for a race car. Seems its difficult to have clean street version of this one and it's more suited to look best in full race trim.

AUScowboy Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) 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. 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 ) 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 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 ) , 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...That's the problem with relying on a one time performance test, be you or Broughy So many factors other than the car end up tainting the results, Especially off road. I'm not saying these test are a decent way to gauge performance, only that they aren't flawless. Edited April 23, 2018 by AUScowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying these test are a decent way to gauge performance, only that they aren't flawless. well I can tell you that I´ve spent hours testing the Flash GT on Rallye stunt race , just like I did with the Safari 4 months ago .... I still get consistent better times on the Flash GT , but at the same time it s a bouncy car so it s very easy to make mistakes .... the Safari on the other hand , a real dream to drive ! I agree that you have to rely on YOUR personal tests (that ´s what I do anyway, although I trust other ppl like Broughy) , but no other rallye car can match the Flash GT right now , just test it yourself and you´ll see (be careful while driving the Flash GT though , choose softer suspensions and offroad wheels and use the brakes frequently )...

Even if they remove the handling/engine flags, I just can’t see they tweaking the 3d model. But I wish...

Go to LS Customs > spoiler menu and just press up and down quickly multiple times between the no spoiler and livery stock options until it pops in as a body (possibly locked to secondary?) colour stock spoiler then select, pretty much exactly like the body panel glitches for other vehicles.

No Use For A Name Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Choose a non-stock spoiler, buy it, then press down and cycle through the available spoilers. It should cause whatever spoiler you have on there to disappear, giving the appearance of none. Now the trick is to land on the stock spoiler option. When you do, click it. Voila, no spoiler. It works much easier if there are 3 spoiler options than it does if there are 13. On topic, I really want to buy another Flash GT, especially if we’re getting more than one 20-car garage in the nightclub. Are we sure they’re removing the flags?
