So I had a benevolent hacker encounter and now I've got 2mil to blow (would have more but I got shot in the cash dogpile and spawned too far out to get much more) and just got a third garage to fill. I've got these:
Rhapsody
Akuma
Sultan
Fugitive
Dominator
Sabre
Elegy
Jester
Mesa
Zion
Dukes
Sadler
Monroe
Entity
Buzzard
Anybody seeing a large hole in there I can fill? I'm more than happy with my Entity still so I don't think another supercar is a wise investment (unless those two new ones are a lot faster) but I'm kinda weak in the offroad department I think, and I'm sure there are a couple other good cars I'm missing.

Yeah, sell off the Monroe and replace it with the Stirling.

Happy with your Entity or not, the T20 is the jiggling tits. At least find someone who has an upgraded one and try it out. I got something like $1.25 million when I sold my Osiris which took some of the sting out of the price tag.

Nope, no longer accurate.

changes (off the top of my head)

best sports classic is now the Stirling GT
best super is now T20 or the Osiris
best compact is the rhapsody, though the blista compact is still very competitive IMO. The weeny issi is straight up inferior to the rhapsody.
best racing bikes now includes the Hakuchou, which will annihilate both the Akuma and the Bati801RR on tracks with long straights, but is not competitive at all on tighter tracks, as it turns very poorly.

This has only been tested on one track though, so it's not the be-all and end-all. The track it was tested on is small and full of tight corners, so quite a few cars end up getting unfair scores.
If you follow this spreadsheet, you will not do well on tophat's grand tour track, as it's the polar opposite of the track used to get these results.

Don't worry! The 2 best supercars are only 2... million.. dollars... :v:

Though the Zentorno performs a tiny percentage worse than those 2 and is only like 800K so, there's that. If you don't mind the Zentorno being an ugly piece of poo poo.

I've seen a few nice Zentornos, but I think it was a wing I liked. I'll just race to 2 million, then I'll need to race another few hundred to upgrade it :(

I had a good do this and it made me sad.

I was waiting by the chopper with my anti-air rockets ready. I figured he would just get in the chopper to start the enemy helicopter spawn, touch back down, and wait for them to come to us. Instead he began monotonously telling us to get in, as though he was so weary of this level of ineptitude and was done with our poo poo forever.

When we finally got in he never put us into a firing position and spent a good few minutes trying to outrun them. I don't ragequit on heists but I did that time.

I had a guy get in by himself, and fly away. He tried to outrun the helos, realized he was a dumb idiot bitch, flew back towards us, and crashed.

Trying to find people so I can actually complete Prison Break and move on to the other heists is a real pain.

Hopefully I can coerce some of the PC goons to give me a hand later on today.

edit: Joined a Humane Raid finale a little while ago before giving up for the morning because we breezed right through it and I was almost done with the underwater tunnel when the pilot quits. Heist failed. :argh:

I'm also sad we can't customize Pegasus vehicles. They're a lot of gimmicks anyway, let me fiddle with them! I would like more customization in general. I'd kill for a decal system where I could free-form slap stickers on my cars.

If you follow this spreadsheet, you will not do well on tophat's grand tour track, as it's the polar opposite of the track used to get these results.

He should change his testing: do lap times for vehicles in a race with lots of tight turns, and then lap times on a long point-to-point track with minimal-to-no turns, where it's possible to reach and maintain top speed for more than two seconds. Then have separate ranks for both lap times. By the way, is his scoring done by average or best lap time?

But this isn't Need for Speed, so just buy whatever vehicle you think is fast enough and looks pretty.

I think a solution to that would be to create a warehouse interior, perhaps for the Port of Los Santos building next to the Merryweather dock, that contains all of your Pegasus vehicles, with terminals to change paint schemes or add performance boosts, among other things.

Or they could create a Pegasus Account website (on the phone) that lets you order in customizations there. Not on the iFruit app though - I've been waiting 5 days now for a custom plate order to process.

They need to make a mod shop for flyers and boats. There's be a lot less to code than a big enough building to hold all my planes. Even if there was only one, it would be totally worth flying to an airstrip I normally don't use to visit the mod shop.


Finally I'd have an excuse to land instead of parachuting too!
