I find it funny how I just traded my Sultan RS in for a Banshee 900R yesterday and there's now a 50% discount for the Sultan RS upgrade. Doesn't really matter that much for me but still a good time for those who want it to get it.

Speaking about free mode events since there's 2X Cash and RP for it, I wish people would do penned in. Never have I done one. It seems like a decent event from what it i've seen. Maybe I could see why though. Since you're aloud to use any car from your garage for the event if I'm correct, the event can be unbalanced thanks to vehicles like the Insurgent and with the insurgent, depending on what vehicle everyone else is driving, it can be easy to win a game of penned in as you can easily ram everyone off the circle with it.
 
@pokemonfan58 IIRC the Insurgent is not allowed in Penned In.

Also, I'm glad that there is no discount on warehouses, else I'd be really, really mad because I bought a warehouse for 880k on Wednesday.
 
You can use the Insurgent in Penned In.

But you can't use a Rhino. Unlike such, you can use certain other Pegasus vehicles. My favorite choice would be the Marshall. It's nigh unshakable against some cars, and it can accidentally blow up say.. an Armored Kuruma just running under.

Really? I thought it was aloud. *EDIT* Corrected by @SomePlayaDude it is aloud.

I'm glad that the new premium race is still not restricted to one specific car. It seemed hard to find a lobby for me during that premium race where only the Tyrus was aloud since not everyone has a Tyrus. I thought this might of been a fun one since I liked the Tyrus as its based off the McLaren F1 Longtail with some influences from the Saleen S7 but I guess since nobody cared about the Tyrus, I couldn't find a fully lobby. At least when you do a premium race that is locked to a class, everyone has one or two or more cars from that class that the race is restricted to and you have a better chance of getting into the race faster. But if you lock it to a specific car only, then it's probably going to be hours until you manage to get into a full lobby.

Unless of course that car is:
  • the RE-7B,
  • the T20 pre-Cunning Stunts,
  • the Zentorno pre-Ill Gotten Gains.
I have no problem with those cars except for the fact that, being the fastest around a track, they attract thousands upon thousands of squeakers who drain Daddy's bank account to get them, so it's pretty easy to find a full lobby if the race is locked onto the RE-7B for example. Then the squeakers proceed to lose badly because they can't drive to save their life. At least they have moved on from that best-top-speed-equals-best-car mentality which caused them all to buy chrome blAdders; they now acknowledge that cornering actually matters :P

As for me, I don't have much of a problem beating them in my Zentorno, which I've stuck with since the very beginning (even before finding out about Broughy) :D

EDIT: KESH KERD offers are on again. As if they haven't mastered the art of milking the money of squeakers' poor parents...

A Megalodon Shark Card's worth of GTA$? Interesting. The only problem is that I have quite literally no experience with the creator, but I'll make it work...

Also, the contacts. Oh God.

Martin: The invite sound gets me all hyped up for something good only to find out that it's Entourage again. I'll pass.
Lester: Yes, I have a heist ready. I get it. I've learned the whole damn dialogue by heart. Lester is very useful though, so he's got something going for him.
Brucie: Just because you need testosterone supplements doesn't mean I do too so quit calling me about it while sounding like you're higher than the Mazebank Tower. Plus I can spawn Bull Shark Testosterone from the CEO menu. Not that I ever use it

I've hung up on my assistant while doing CEO work because of the habit of pressing X+O when Lester or Brucie calls. At least they don't bother me during races... but that's where real-life phone calls come into play :ouch: :P
 
Has anyone else noticed while entering helicopters that your camera view automatically goes to the "above" position? Additionally, I can't switch views until usually ten seconds have passed after getting in.
 
The Imponte Phoenix makes for a great bounty avoiding aircraft if you suddenly find yourself being chased over the edge of Raton Canyon by a somewhat agitated group of eager and ever so loud Frenchmen online.
 
People are unlocking a Bahama Mamas T-shirt after logging in today. Possibly another event and sales announcement from R* soon.

So, if I wanted the Sultan RS, would it be the right time to buy one? Is the performance still terrible?

The Sultan RS isn't a car you buy for performance, there's no point. It's a car you buy for looks/customization
