Yeah I dig the Jester Racecar a lot however it will straight up get beat pretty hard by the Massacro Racecar on long stretches. Found that out the hard way against, I think, Malice. :v:

I like the feltzer in sports class but its not really the best car to use. Also I pretty much never do super races because they are boring and have no variety.

Word. I love my matte white Feltzer and hate custom super races. My only super is a fully modded Cheetah.

My only super is an infernus but thats more for ramping people off of me in freeroam.I do a lot of racing in muscle class just because I love how lovely drat near every car drives. It's like GTAIV again!

I win plenty of (read: some) races in my Cheetah. As long as you're not racing BitBasher or guys from a dedicated racing crew then your Cheetah should be fine.

E: I've beaten BitBasher in the Cheetah too, all you need is a gimmick race that you've practiced and he hasn't :smuggo:

What's the difference between the types of Massacro? I accidentally bought the non-racecar version. It's fully modded so I'm not taking the money hit by selling it. I'm just curious.

Its supposedly tweaked to have slightly better handling but much of that is probably confirmation bias.

We updated the OP a month or so ago with the consensus list of "best in class" cars for racing so check that out.

If you want to troll pubbies and grind race wins at the same time, host a race on a track you're comfortable racing on (mine was Taking Off ~55 second laps). Set it to 1 lap, non contact. If you have a car that you've got performance upgrades on set it to custom for that class. Auto invite, the moment someone joins (gets the green light next to their name) start the race and win. You can replay races over and over, once your pubbie leaves just auto invite at the lobby screen, wait for someone to join and go again.

When I did rally races back on the ps3, I used a second ps3 and second tv to racecheat. I don't think many pubs got a good impression of rally races after that.

On the tarmac was it? Los Santos Airport? Catch up was on? I remember that, the sight of Cheetah tail lights has been burned into my memory forever! That was some good poo poo.

Regarding the Massacro vs Racing Massacro they turn near identical lap times for me. People say there are subtle differences but in actual practice they seem to turn laps inside a tenth of a second of each other. I don't think it's worth the money to trade a non livery for a livery.

In races with catch up on the difference between cars is far less pronounced. A Cheetah can win races just not as reliably as a Massacro. When catch up is off or non-contact is on then the smaller differences get far more pronounced.

Hell, probably 2/3 of my sports class wins were in a Carbonizarre.

The racecar version has slightly better traction and stiffer suspension. It would rarely make a difference even in a high level race, but I like it because it makes the car feel a bit more responsive.

Since there's a "Max health increase" popup at every level so far (98) does that poo poo continue indefinitely forever? Are the odd level 1000 players I see running around with ungodly gigantic health pools?

Does it even have any impact on your health because I feel no less squishy than I did starting out, really

Doesn't feel like it to me. I was at max health and got killed by an NPC with two rifle shots and I'm at level 70. Almost seems (to me) like the health/damage ratio scales, although I could be and am totally wrong.

The popup's glitched. I'm level 250+ and I still get it every level. If the bars that show up on the popup are full then your health is maxed out. I think it happens around level 80.
