Agent 14 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 4 hours ago, kenmy13999 said: 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 You right though. There's no way to actually drive that car as people wants it but I'm used to playing racing games so to me it ain't much of a challenge. I know the car ain't a walk in the park but some people can drive it just fine. I understand the people that likes to race so I'm not really going to disagree with them since they have a different play style than mine. 4 hours ago, KingBen said: Bought a second one. I really hope this one lives up to @Agent 14‘s standards. I was just kidding with you on that one post man lol is your car paint it however you want it. 2 hours ago, Pedinhuh said: >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 not really an issue. I've drive worse sh*t than this car tbh i don't let anyone else opinion on the car impact my decisions of buying them if i like the car then I'll buy it simple. It isn't hard for you to understand that not everyone cares about how fast it can go on a lap. Some people just like the car for what it is shocking i know.

I think if people thinks the car is fine or not, in many cases maybe comes down to if they're racing or not and in some others it has to do with playstyle as you say. I usually like to go as fast as possible to where I'm going and the bouncy suspension makes it so I can't use this car to it's full potential.

Sil3ntWr4th_- Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 the car looks great but the handling and advanced flags is f*cked up, I can't drive this car without the suspension going batsh*t crazy and the car bounces too much especially over bumps.

Crokey Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Having looked over some posts in this thread, in particular over the past few pages I get this is winter for most folks (in the Northern Hemisphere), and that salt can be good for the roads, but you can't mine salt in a forum. So if that can be kept out of this topic... that's be great. Also see on stick, see that bit that usually has a knurled texture, or has wrapping around, that's the right end to grab... just saying as some folks seem to be grabbing the other end of the stick. Anywho back to talking about this Ferrari Berlinetta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I love the car, so I bought and will keep it forever. If me dont really care about performance/handling tho, dont do GTA races and also my point A to Z ride would always be Opress Mk2 lol (i mean for jobs, missions etc) Edited December 29, 2018 by Mulsanne kenmy13999 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caarl00s Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 My first impression driving the the GTO for the first time. W-T-F. This is probably the worst handling car i’ve ever experienced in GTA online. Seriously, i’m even thinking the Toros felt waaay better than this. I tested a stock one, and ohhh looord, it felt heavy, BOUNCY and quite prone to understeer. I’m not sure if adding a spoiler could have made a difference on the overall experience, but seriously i cant believe that i was considering trade my Pariah/FMJ/Reaper for this. Im definitely not buying this one, a shame because i think it looks gorgeous (aside from the oversized headlights). i just hope the new benefactor vehicle doesn’t feel anywhere close to this.

In the right hands, it's actually not that hard to handle. I know some of you will hate me for this but I actually enjoy the Advanced Handling flags on this one... I hope if R* go forward with the handling flags they just stick with bouncy suspension but of course work on it so they handle softly like the Clique and Vamos.

Yeah man, so I had to have one with a traditional Grotti red engine. Would be nice if it wasn't linked to body colour, had its own category. 3 hours ago, IceDree said: I agree.

Yeah so I had to have two.. my all black one has the carbon cover, and my "812 Scuderia" has the red engine. R*'s lazy way at getting more cash from collectors? If the execution was better and the customisation less annoying then I'd probably have more.. as it is I will undoubtedly end up selling one or both if not improved dynamically (I know it's a long shot) as space will be at a premium, overall I'd say close but no cigar.

Funny thing is Grottis in the low res engine days like the Bestia & Carbonizzare had a red engine by default. Now they give us high res engines & force us to go Rosso to get that red engine back. Both clever & annoying. I'll buy just one. If I can't get the Mineral White + Red secondary to work, then to hell with the red engine ... I already made my peace with my Turismo Classic not having one. I agree regarding the customizations, this is the Tempesta all over again. Cool car, crappy mods ... Sigh.
