Pfister Comet S2 and Pfister Comet S2 Cabrio appreciation and discussion thread

[Carrythxd]

[ACR]

Personal experience so it may vary from others, for me this car have kinda similar cornering and handling to schlagen gt, except schlagen has better acceleration, but while others were saying how shlagen handles great i don't have same impression because in my case i can loose control and spin pretry easy and it feels heavy like s2. You gotta be careful on cornering and break aggressively compared to comet rs which feels lighter for me but with superior grip and acceleration. So comet rs is better in everything exception being its looks because from front it barely resembles 911 with those big headlights. 

Nevertheless it's fun car to drive if you're cautious and it doesn't lack top speed as well. It's just a shame it's not top contender in tuner races as it should be and gets beaten in acceleration department by 90s celica.

I bought it and went outside to test i against the normal kuruma bc the last few days we used it a lot. It seems like the have very simalar stats. I dont know who has the better top speed bc a random nightshark ramed my friend but seems the same.

GT2RS inspired mess lol ofc R* would leave out proper rear bumpers and GT styled spoilers looking fwd to seeing a proper SR spec on GTA5-Mods in the near future to use in SP

I'd also like to know this what is this crew color. I used this website to match red color of BR8 Meinmacht livery for Ferrari look, but the website hasn't been updated after LS Tuners. It would be great if you could share the hex for this red color.

#EF000A w/ the red stripe livery; the colors should almost be the same, that way you can have the GT2RS style hood stripes but youre stuck with using red lol

This car is absolutely wonderful. It's quite possibly the best-modeled car in the game. It's got an impressive number of mods for a non-Benny's car (including THAT bumper/exhaust combo). And it reminds me of the Jester RR and the Windsor in that it handles how you'd expect it's real-world counterpart to handle. It has a believable heft that feels realistically distributed, and it handles like it has four independent contact patches.

 

The Jester handles similarly to the Massacro in that it feels like there's weight (the engine) in the front of the car. The Comet S2 feels like the RR version of this. It has light understeer like both cars, but it will remind you that the engine is behind you if you don't respect it. It doesn't have the Jester's traction (though it's not too far off), and it soaks up bumps and imperfections that would toss other cars around quite well. It is absolutely sublime to drive.

 

No, it's not competitive. But that doesn't make it trash.... by by that criteria, 98% of the cars in the game would also be garbage. It's not especially quick, and the engine almost seems to bog if you get too sideways. But dynamically, it feels more like a real car IMO, not a GTA car.

I've never owned three of the same vehicle model in Online before, but man I like this car a lot.

 

I tried going for a 911-R type of look. If only we had twin-colored stripes.

Thank you for clarifying. Although being based on a 911, it should perform well on the track, but that doesn't mean it's bad because it can't. At the end of the day, racing is just racing and I couldn't care less about it in this game, and irl people race all kinds of cars and get used to driving them despite difficulties because real racing takes skill, not just picking the best most capable car. In a perfect world, Rockstar would be consistent with their performance and class systems but... I don't know why anyone is surprised.

 

Wanna know why? We have two cars based on Bugattis that accelerate slowly and have embarassingly low top speeds. Why? Because when you incorporate a crappy class system categorizing cars by their body style (incredibly idiotic) instead of just their performance, and when you enforce low top speeds via incredibly high drag figures for "herp derp muh immersion" you're going to get cars that heavily under perform or outperform others with no regard to consistency, realism or logic.

The problem is that you're trying to drive this car like you drive a Jester RR

I mean, not really. It's painfully obvious when following a Jester that it simply isn't as fast as it. On most tracks you have to ease the power on, whereas the jester and calico can just mash throttle, no big deal. The Euros, well I feel like it has more compliant suspension as well and is motlee predictable. It's not impossible to win in a Comet but when two equally skilled players race in a Comet/jester there's no competition. And that's my problem with this car.

Only if the comet S2 handled smoothly like the Feltzer, I'd be happy. The feltzer is so smooth in the hills:)

I'm a garbage race driver in this game yet I still can make do with it, just gotta learn how to drive the car on corners because you can't throw this car like a regular Front engined RWD car, the rear of this makes a pendulum if you do.

That has been my experience as well, it takes some time getting used to its unique handling characteristics.

 

I had an hour to kill earlier and won a few hot pursuit races with it.

Luckily it didn't took me this long to get used to it.

 

After all I did spent years daily driving my OG Comet(which I'll never sell BTW, I love that extra oomph the engine sound gets in first person view) so the skill set transferred over nicely, i just had to get used to the extra powerful engine, better brakes and downforce.

Yeah I mean its overall only really beaten by the Calico & Jester RR…and unless everyone racing is a bonafide pro its usable. Personally given the slight advantage when using the aforementioned cars and the fact they’re a tad easier to drive I prefer them. I use all the cars and cycle through them with each race often mind.

interestingly at first I exclusively used the Tailgater S and think I’m quicker in that than this.

 

At the end of the day Broughys testing is accurate but we’re not mostly racing professionals…just spaz 12 year olds trying to pit everyone.

How do you guys think it compares to the other comets

 

i always enjoyed the original comet (have two) the handling felt somewhat seat of the pants but loads of fun. The SR (have two) feels like it encourages you to push through the corners. Easier to drive, but tempts you to push just a little too much. The retro (have two) is my favourite, love how this handles, I can powerslide it round bends but it recovers instantly

 

 

 

and now this baby (have four lol)

 

how do you think it compares?

Hex?

Might use it on growler, for S2 i've chosen gasoline green and sticking with it. Shame they didn't give us at least one more property to buy, would buy 2 more for track and vanilla build, even though performance is not what i expected, it's one of the best if not best car done by R*.

absolutely loving my carmine red S2:
