So why can't my cars go any faster than 120mph despite their speed gauges saying they could go faster?

So what is your favorite car in your garage? I don't think I actually hate any cars

For serious business, Comet. Seems like everyone that doesn't have the Kuruma uses a sports car while doing Jobs so naturally I needed a sports car too. The Comet was a good cheap option for me and I liked driving it in Single Player. My only gripe with it is that it spins out way too much on dirt if you are too aggressive with it. Saving up for a Zentorno since that seems to be the Hot poo poo supercar everyone uses.

For screwing around? Karin Rebel or BF Injection. Love me some rust bucket off-roading.

Finally completed the first heist. The random I played with got a $9000 bounty so of course I took him out, very Jokerish thing to do. Now to grid for the armored car so I can make more grinding trivial.

I hope this dumb armored-Kurumas-everywhere phase ends soon.

When the NPCS stop being such deadly crackshots and players stop dying so quickly then maybe Kuruma abuse will stop. It's cheapness fighting back against cheapness.

Does the Dukes just not exist in the PC version? I can't seem to find one even when driving a muscle car nor can I buy one off the internet. I just wanted to make the General Lee. :sigh:

Is there a benefit from having a maxed out strength stat besides looking buff and knocking out peds with one punch? Also it's weird that playing golf would boost that stat.

Punching peds definitely raises it, but it's the slowest option though. Fun though!

Seriously, the best way to grind up race wins is to buy or find a Sadler, mod it up a little, and then either find a race that allows utility vehicles or make your own and spam invites to it. You are pretty much guaranteed to win against any pubby you come across, because they're stuck with golf carts and other poo poo that's slow as balls.

As a bonus, if any of them upvotes your race that counts to unlocking some awards and you get a small bit of RP each vote. Try to litter your course with missles and frequent checkpoints so that the slow players can have fun shooting each other up.

I just tried this tactic, the reactions from the pubbies were hilarious. I do feel a little bad using this tactic but if the part unlock system wasn't so retarded then we wouldn't resort to such dirty tactics.

It takes a little longer to get up to speed, but it's top speed is up there with sports cars.

If anything Armored Kurumas should be considered lame. Much as I like driving into a pile of NPCs whose bullets harmlessly bounce off my car like's it's the automobile version of Superman and then laughing as I shoot flares into their faces, it's made missions really trivial and boring. Yet I keep using it because dying sucks and you die too quickly in Online.

If you want to be more covert about trollwinning utility races, get a Faggio and upgrade it. Most people aren't going to upgrade one because it's a waste of cash. Also keep it a default color as to trick people into thinking it's also stock.

I encountered a hacker who had an AK-47 that shot moneybags a couple weeks ago before the first wave of mass bans. I only picked up enough to purchase an Armored Kuruma and two 10 slot garages and never got banned. I guess if you encounter one of these people and you pick up the money it's best to spend it all right way. You may still get banned but you'll at least have laundered your cash into vehicles and stuff.

My guess is that Rockstar is just checking for large increases of cash that aren't caused by the player buying a shark card or completing a heist, and banning those people accordingly because obliviously they are threatening their precious microtransactions, when all the player did was pick up or had spawned money shot at them.
