Does anyone knows if the ZR-380 is based on a vehicle in particular?

 

I have looked if a Nissan 350/370z has been featured in any vehicular combat videogame or movie without any luck.

 

 Those are closest I can think of

 

 

 

Built by Freakin Works.

R* should always make a base version of every vehicle and then let us expand upon that if we want to (in the same manner as the Buzzard should start out non-weaponized but then give us the option to add missiles, minigun and everything that other newer helis has such as counter-measures).

I agree with this.

 

Not only does this idea massively increase a feeling of player ownership and personalization, R* could make it work for themselves too - level locked accessories (like cars had back in 2013) could increase incentives for continued play (read: grinding) or even just to act as another money drain for players who will buy custom options for their base vehicles. If every vehicle started with a 'street' or 'stock' version you could please the car enthusiasts, the custom vehicle crowd and players who have to flaunt cash and/or show off their high-level status. There are at least a dozen quite expensive cars in this game I have absolutely no interest in buying because of the lack of options or mandatory accessories shoved on, and as a result my money just sits in my account doing nothing.

 

There are so many inconsistencies in the vehicle customization system it makes me think that there are a number of different teams working on parts of this game and none of them are talking to each other. Or there was no central plan for vehicle customization options decided at the beginning of development and it's all been shoehorned in as a hurried afterthought. Either way, that's some rookie-level game development right there.

This. Vehicle organizations is a complete mess at this game. We just can hope they will do better for the next GTA.

I've heard that the spikes on the bodywork are functional and you get extra damage if you get ran over by one of these, is that true? It would be quite impressive if so

The Rocket Bunny is good for me, I just hope we can have an option to put the panel off like "none" or something :')

However, I'll go for something like this piece of art from Khyzyl Saleem :')

Because every widebody is a rocket bunny, right? It's a stardast kit, which is pretty rare btw. 

I just can't wrap my head around the fact they just keep releasing cars people want, but at the same time ruining them completely. They made such a good job at recreating a 350z and yet it's just a fking arena war car with no civilian version. Will they ever stop doing it?

Yes it is. Even running into them can kill you.

Yeah, my own car has killed me a few times like that or put my at 1 hp when I climbed in, don't be careless running to these spikes cars, it hurts. Although if you run someone over don't worry, they are very dead lol

I was thinking about crate a petition to make a stock version of this car, would be a good idea?

100% agree.

 

Adding to what you said, R* is stupid, don't they know that by offering several versions of the same car, people are most likely to double or triple dip, which could drive Shark Card sales?

 

I mean, think about it, if R* added an stock ZR-380, a widebody Benny's upgrade and the Arena Contender, not only people would be more happy to have options, some would buy two variants, three or even all of them.

 

Players would be happy, R* would be happy, everyone would be happy!

I'll admit that I think I'll get the Future Shock version, because it reminds me of those Burnin' Rubber games. But you guys are right on the money about this car. It's kind of a no-brainer that this car should've came stock, like the Impaler.

[eyman]

The problem is there is always a mix. Some devs do provide a stock version and then add a ton of Modifications, but others just go down a one way street by adding body kits, fixed suspensions, weapons or armour that can't be removed.

The funny (not so funny) thing is the ZR380, the Caracara and the Streiter all look great without those fixed modifications and im fairly certain they are created by the same person. Which is a shame, because the dev/s responsible for them are clearly talented but keeps going down that one way street.

Are the windshields bulletproof?

[UwotEG]

It's quite remarkable how R* thinks people would want this POS over a civilian version. I think it just shows that they don't listen to the community. Hell, maybe they do but screw it up regardless just to f*ck with us.

Yeah, some kind of "carrot and stick" policy.

[UwotEG]

But then again I guess I can't complain too much, some of the new cars in this update are marvellous, so one sour grape shouldn't ruin all the fun.

The Streiter isn’t modified. It’s based on the E400 4x4 squared, a factory produced Mercedes prototype. In fact, I think it made it into limited production, but don’t quote me on that.

Sold my Apocalypse version and got myself Future Shock.

I added red neons after taking this photo.

I know that I mentioned it here:

Spoiler

 

 

Like i said the dev that created it most likely went down the one way street, meaning they had a specific idea and stuck with it (Same goes for the Comet Safari, Flash GT, ETR1 etc.) all those cars exist in real life. but it doesn't mean they shouldn't have included removable modifications. There are many vehicles that have removable modifications when you take them to LSC and the streiter should have included the ability to remove the arch covers. isn't having the freedom of options what Rockstar always go on about?

anyway This is the wrong thread for it. I went and googled it and it is one off prototype.

I'm not sure if I want to see what the modders will make of the stock version. I think I'll be angry for a few hours.

How did you change the stock wheel color? Mine is stuck with the ugly default yellow and the car doesn't show up in ifruit for me...

Otherwise my car looks just like yours

There is a way to change color of stock wheels without iFruit:
1. Change wheels to the cheapest ones and paint them the color you want.
2. Put custom tires on.
3. Purchase stock wheels and back out of tuning shop.
4. Quit to story mode and go to online again, your car will have painted stock wheels.

Thanks but I've tried this multiple times now and I can't get it to work. I'm on PS4 if that makes a difference. I followed your steps exactly in both the arena workshop and a regular lsc and when I log back in the wheels are still yellow.

The Annis ZXR has a Dewbauchee logo^^?

That only works on PC, X1 and PS4 players are stuck with those ugly yellow-ish rims.

That's a good start, but it still needs to lose the arches and have the wheels positioned normally.

Yeah that's still not really stock, although the ability to mod the car like that would be appreciated. I will say tho that some vehicles in this update are REALLY close to their real life counterpart, like this one. Almost a bit too much IMO.

Oh for f*ck's sake, and I've just bought the piece of sh*t  So it doesn't show up on iFruit no matter what?
