Correct. I'm doing hesits and missions, but the payout is low. I know some people hack the game and so on. But is that really the only way to make real money in this game, except for grinding the same few missions over and over and over and over again.
Well, you apparently missed the money hacking epidemic of early 2014.
 
So, i took my car to LSC and fitted a turbo (T20 by the way) and it maxed out the acceleration stat but i can never seem to increase the top speed stat.

Now i was wondering if i were then to add the transmission and engine upgrades would that do nothing or still improve top speed/acceleration even if the stat bars don't move?

I was only wondering because i just done a race with someone in a T20 and his top speed was way faster than mine..way faster. Surely if his stats are maxed out as are mine then he shouldn't be faster than me.

Or as he was lvl 377 does that give you a speed boost?

(i also noticed that the stats do move when i use the iFruit app but they don't move in game the same when i'm in LSC)

Check out Broughy1322 on youtube. He has videos explaining all of the vehicle stats and how to get the edge when racing. I would recommend all performance mods and a spoiler if available when racing. As far as I know the bars lie.

Upgrades like that do add more speed and acceleration, even if the bar looks maxed out
 
Some of Broughy's technical videos can seem a little long-winded, but they are a must-watch if you want to get better at racing in GTA. I don't race anymore, but his videos have helped me greatly with general gameplay.
 
@e rikkie What paint did you use on that Massacro? :drool:

Like i said, most of my cars are transferred from the ps3, so i really can't remember which paint i used more than 1,5 years ago. I assume it is a pearlescent glitched one (the glitch that you can put pearlescent on all paint types).

If i drive this car in the mod-shop, can i see which paints i've used??? if so i will check tonight.

-edit- looking at the color, i think it was something like wine-red / dark-red with a hot pink pearlescent

-edit 2- midnight purple with hot pink pearlescent ???

I hate that you can't just go to LSC and see what pearlescent paint you chose. It just says that your car needs to have a metallic paint.
 
That is a beautiful blend of old and new on that! I can't bring myself to paint the Monroe anything but Yellow with classic wheels.

Thanks ..... its a shame i never drive this car :D

I have been to the mod shop and compared colors and now i am pretty sure it is midnight purple with hot pink pearlescent. And i do not think its with the glitch. Try it out and post the result :P
 
We have quite a few, but some of them are practically the same thing.
Somewhat. A lot of them of pretty much parts-bin specials.

Some more older sport bikes and cruisers would be nice to have. I don't care if they're competitive or not. Just something that would be cool to have.

The Vindicator and Lectro are absolutely useless
Does looking cool count as a useful ability?
 
As long as we are enjoying perlescent cars :)

A little understated, I know, but I really like them. My two favorite cars
 
That sounds awesome. Pictures?

Like I said, it's very subtle. To notice it you really have to orbit around the car. But the effect is that it produces a really deep color, like porcelain.

I personally love it. Whenever I go into my garage I always just walk around this car because the paint just draws you in.

edit: Mazda Metallic Ceramic was my inspiration

It just has this very subtle but deep quality to it. Even if you are looking for what makes it special, it's hard to tell. But it's something about how the paint scatters highlights along creases differently than normal paint. To me, it's awesome.
