Another dimension, new galaxy
I just started playing this again after a few months absence, and I looked in my garage and my most expensive car was missing from it. It's only a Turismo R with all the upgrades, but thats most of the money I've made in the game. Mors Insurance doesn't do anything, and Rockstar support says they can't verify I bought it.

I'm seriously annoyed by this.

Is this a common bug? I saw posts about this from 2014 but I figured this issue would be resolved by now.

Specter is the most fun car to drive since the Tropos.

Anybody know if the Tempesta is a worthy investment? My friend is thinking of buying it since he wants a Lambo.

It's decent, so long as you keep in mind you're buying it for style and flash, not mindblowing performance. It's not gonna be a super competitive race car, but you can make it look like the Huracan Super Trofeo, which fuckin owns.

I lost a Tropos Rallye recently this way, too. I just assumed Rockstar support wouldn't be able to help.

If you aren't hosting the session, you're going to get cargobob drops every now and then because Rockstar

if I solo cars, never a drop for hours on end. Join a friend to try and help them, sorry I just dropped a car into a ravine.

gently caress if I know, i'm speaking from personal driving experience here. It doesn't handle particularly well and it feels somewhat heavy and understeer prone. I'm sure Broughy has a video on it, but from ~*`my own personal experience driving mine~*~ i wouldn't consider it a super competitive car or pick it over, say, the T20 / FMJ / etc

Yeah, I'm not really a big racer myself but I quite enjoy how it handles and of course that classic design is aces.

Umm yes I will probably buy this.



The Specter is really good because the Benny's upgrade lets you put the exhaust right behind and above the front tires like the Stirling GT, another excellent car.

Also it sounds awesome.

It's too bad the Diabolus feels slower then the Defiler and Akuma, it looks so good :( The exhaust rarely flames out, too :argh:

No, seriously... what kurds?!
The Tempesta drives pretty nice, you just need to learn when to release throttle for a short bit the right moment. It stops being squirrely while keeping momentum. That said, I miss my FMJ, which I sold for the Tempesta. I can't be assed to grind any money to get it back, tho.

Switch to PC you fool. Also RE-7B is still the fastest from what I can tell. Zentorno or Turismo R to be competitive on a budget.

If you want to spend fat stacks of cash & not have the same exact car as everyone else in any given race (looking at you, RE-7B), you can go with a Tyrus, Itali GTB, ETR1, or a Tempesta the besta!

Tempesta & ETR1 IMO handle the best of all the super cars, while the others I mentioned are strictly fast & ridiculous.

TBQH most of the supers that I've bought/drove seem to be pretty close to each other in regards to performance, so driving skill is 100% more important than having the nicest super car.

This is absolutely the case. With only a few exceptions (e.g. the Bullet and I think the Voltic) all supers are competitive as long as you drive well. Especially as your average pubbie doesn't realize there's more than "accelerate pedal = go faster". Gotta love getting called a hacker because you keep beating their RE-7B in a Sultan RS :laugh:

Between crewmates, a mugger or mercenary call in jest is fun. A crewmate repeatedly griefing another crewmate that's trying to do their risky MC work is beyond the pale.

Cry salt all you want. Some people just can't play well with others and maybe shouldn't be given the benefits of a community. You know what I mean.
