Itali GTO Discussion Thread


Pininfarina

Recommended Posts

Days ago, my friend told me that if it has spoiler it would handle much better. So I gave it a try, and yes it is true. Not interested to install one on this beauty tho, maybe I would uninstall later if R* ever fixed this car. LOL

Yellow Dog with Cone

Here I was thinking this car would give the Elegy RH8 and Comet SR a run for their money instead of the Sabre Custom lol

I have put the mini-spoiler on it already, like in the picture of the red one above. Still bouncy bouncy lol

just don't go full throttle like you're used to

 

this thing is *really* fast and doesn't have very good brakes, so you can vastly reduce crashes just by focusing more

 

it actually takes curbs better than some non advanced flags cars, it's the hidden bumps and height changes scattered around the city that make it jump around

 

my issue is with gears... WHERE THE F*CK IS THE TOP GEAR?

 

holy tits you hit the rev limiter and engine starts sounding like a dying cow

 

yep, it's jester classic all over again

when you get up to speed it doesn't f*cking shift up and just stays at redline sounding like a broken 1.4 vw polo

Frankly, this isn't so ugly as I initially thought, though I hate the front bumper.

 

Still, I bought one and did my spec on it, no performance upgrades besides the spoiler and the third suspension setting(I don't lower my cars all the down, only my dedicated race cars).

 

But I must say, this thing drives like ABSOLUTE CRAPP! it jump and bounces on even the slightest hint of a bump on the road, city slicking with it is an absolute pain in the ass.

 

Better drive this thing slowly or not drive it at all.

 

Also: Goddammit, everyone painted this car blue huh?

Also it bounces a lot, but it's not as bad as this car though.

I took the spoiler out and can still drive for a while and not crash. Is called brakes and knowing when to let go of the R2 people.

Tell that to anybody on NODO or Broughy's crew.

 

In fact, tell that to Broughy himself and he will laugh at your face.

 

This car is NOT viable for racing at all, unless you're not racing seriously.

Several people here have said the same thing but it boils down to broughy, nodo and the rest of us just haven't been able to tame the car and git gud ;)

 

I tried the route that was posted in a video earlier in the thread, had no problem going same speed and probably faster without crashing, does that change the fact that the car is terrible to drive? No it doesn't

Yes the car handles like sh*t but once you tame it, it becomes easier to drive. This is my current pv. Also for the guy that brought up broughty and nodo I don't race so I really don't give a f*ck about their opinion. All I know is i can drive it for 5 to 7 minutes before crashing and most times it ain't even my fault is ai drivers and cops being dicks. Like I said there's a learning curve about this car. And as others have mentioned is all about taming this beast.

I took it round my custom Stunt Track which I use for testing all cars, and it handles so badly that it came worst out of the three cars I tested.

 

Pariah - Best Lap 1.49.779

Vagner - Best Lap 1.48.116

GTO - Best Lap 1.52.282

 

I just couldn't get it to settle down enough to absolutely floor it around the circuit. I kept having to come off the throttle.

I mean, this is probably how an 812 Superfast would handle if you were going over bumps IRL, the problem in this game is that the other cars don't handle like RL at all...

This car is so good looking to me that its weird handling doesn't bother me in the slightest. I can understand the frustration of the organised racing crews out there but regular races with randoms are chaotic enough to a point where performance doesn't matter as much.

Yesterday I drove somewhere around 11-12 minutes without crashing (spun out once at the end tho), does that mean I tamed the car? 

I think most people complaining can drive 5-10+ minutes without crashing but no matter how much you've "learned" to drive the car, you will have a really hard time getting good lap times around a track..

Imo the car isn't "tamed" before you can get consistent good lap times around a city track ;)

Say that to anybody who races in real life and they'll laugh in your face lol

Since this is relevant to a video game I'm obviously talking about in game, lol. 

Are you out of other arguments since that was the part you picked out and replied to with something completely not relevant to neither the thread or the game? :)

^agreed. Anybody have a shade of Rosso Corsa other than #D40000?

NoirLime4L made this one earlier this year: #660000

 

According to him, its very close to Formula Red.

>Drives the car for 10 minutes.

>Thinks that now the car is "tamed".

 

LMAO! With such a small time frame you are, at best, learning how to handle the car in a singular track.

 

You have to take it off-road, you have to take it to the freeway, you have to take it to a stunt track, you have to take it to a multitude of city and countryside tracks, you have to take it to a track in the back roads of Vinewood Hills, but most importantly: You have to evade other players with it.

 

Only after all of that, you can truly say you learned and tamed the car, driving it for 10 minutes is just enough to learn of the car's characteristics, but definitely not tame it.

 

It took me over a year to finally tame my Comet, but even then I'm aware of the limitations of the car and I know that it's not race-worthy(it lacks power in a straight line).

That's exactly what I was expecting broughy to say, the car is too inconsistent for hot lapping. I kinda wanna buy it because the driving is so different from anything else.

Well I seem to have discussions with everyone else in this thread just fine so you tell me. :) But it seems when anyone has an opinion about this car that isn't straight up bashing it you get salty. Look, nobody is saying "git gud" we're saying the car takes more effort to control, more than it should duh, but it's not undriveable. I find it hard to believe how someone who always ends his posts with a condescending emoji has the nerve to act like we're the ones being arrogant. I can understand why people are mad about this car but it's not undriveable... What else do you need me to say?
