If only this thing had the engine note of the Hustler or Yosemite and had better improved handling & speed, then this vehicle would be at least tolerable. It's still looks pretty awesome in appearance, i'll give credits for that.

20 races to unlock all liveries. Tried one race with randoms and felt like I was overseeing a classroom full of mentally retarded kids.

I'll boost the races, thank you.

The engine note is one of the best things about this car, shares the same one as the Drift Tampa's which is just ferocious.

 

The top speed is where this car shines, makes sense as it's made for NASCAR racing.

Last I remember, 1000hp cars don't sound like honda generators.

Almost got the Earnhardt Livery. Gotta say I love that we have nascar style cars and racing especially that its early 90s style cause its what I grew up watching and I stopped caring about NASCAR after Dale died. Bloodring by the way is a lot of fun if you go in with the right mind set. I usually hate catch up but in this instance I love it, it keeps everyone close together to really give you that NASCAR traffic feel with someone always slipstreaming u while ur slipstreaming the car in front. You gotta go into the bloodring with the rubbing is racing mindset. With catchup on plus slipstream even if you get wrecked/spun out you have more than enough time to get back to the front of the pack and exact revenge/win. If you go in with a serious attitude about proper race edicate etc etc you will rage.

 

I did a a bloodring race with non contact and it was an absolute snooze fest.

 

Also, this car corners great just dont use the breaks. this car works best by letting go of the accelerator going into the turn and accelerating once in the turn. Do not use the breaks unless the car is going straight cause it gets squirlly otherwise.

^ Racing with catch-up enabled is just punishment for those who are good racers. I won a 10-lap race yesterday, being in first for the last 6, with over 10 seconds. Driving that long with a strangled car is torture, I swear I was barely pushing 70.

I hear you, Like I said I have always hated catchup, but for bloodring I personally think it works. I know about the slowness once in first place, Its definitely very noticeable in bloodring, but I dont mind I just changed strategy and looked to protect myself from the maniacs catching up from behind . Just look at the name bloodring its basically telling u this is supposed to be Days of Thunder on steroids. Btw Ive won races or placed top three after getting spun out or knock off the road like 3 times. This isnt for serious racers. And thats ok, not everything has to be.

I finally unlocked all the liveries. I purchased my own Hotring to make the grind more bearable.

And here is my Hotring's theme song.

If retarded people who don't know how to drive are annoying for you, you can win races alone to unlock all liveries ;)

I thought you just have to participate, not win.

That's right, only participate. Still a pain in the ass racing with randoms though.

So you can race with up to thirty people, whats different with the normal stunt races of 15 competitors?

The races are fun, but I was racing with 27 randoms, and five or six of them purposely ruined every race by going in the opposite direction and colliding with everyone.

 

It made for interesting races though. You needed to do well to avoid them.

This is another car that is excellently detailed I noticed last night. Engine bay looks spot on for the real deal, and in the trunk they even have the filler neck going down to the fuel cell.

I can't wait to get this car, I always wanted a stock car in this game. I actually think the handling is fine the way it is. Not perfect, but not bad at all IMO.

I wouldn't wait on this car if I was you, but its not a must buy either because even with mine suped up I'm still coming in 3rd or 4th against players with stocked vehicles, I know catch up is the reason this happens, but evening battling side by side for position with a rookie seems really odd I cant blow past them (giggity).

I like this car, I will be uploading some picks tonight.

 

But I might change the wheels, the stock ones are accurate but I need to give it my own flair.

 

And I also have to find a crowded lobby to race again.

Honestly I think this car is great for what it is. Love all the liveries, especially the DuPont coverup one. Classic Rockstar humor.

I agree. Won my first race I did yesterday early AM in a stock version. I assume many people didn't have modded sabres yet. In 1st place with catch up on it was absolutely miserable. I felt like I was CRAWLING and was surprised I won after leading the last 4 laps. Swore someone would come flying past me.

Well at least it gives everyone an equal chance to win. These races are for fun mostly too so all the seriousness can go take a hike.

Another problem is that people keep turning off custom vehicles, so even if you own the Hotring Sabre, you'll be using it half the time when you're with randoms.

So, like, NASCARS don't have headlights, or what?

No. A stock car body is usually sheet metal and/m plastic body panels made to resemble a real production car. Literally a shell that fits over the chassis. Two people could lift the entire bodywork off of a stock car. All mechanical and electrical items are affixed to the chassis and roll cage. The body could be torn off the car and youd still have a perfectly functioning race car, albeit without the aerodynamic benefits of the body.

Fking morons I swear. Making up for their own incompetence by making everyone leveled the same even if some bought the damn thing.
