RE-7B is the fastest stock super because of the downforce modify. The 2nd fastest stock super is the Nero because of the default spoiler.

Can't believe I haven't seen this video yet, and I'm subscribed to him. Thank you.

 

[Nick Skyline]

I'm slowly figuring out how to go faster in GTA stunt races, but still can't work out how some people are so fast even when I factor in I'm not driving a Nero Custom. The lobby I was in earlier was the most competitive I've ever seen - I would make 1 mistake, drop to around 8th and gain a couple places back if I was lucky.

But there was 1 guy who was usually 4-5 seconds a lap quicker than anybody else. The most amazing bit was when I saw him do this... does anyone know how to launch that quickly?

(#4 - at 6:38 to 10:48 in the video - in this video is relevant, but you can give the whole video a watch if you'd like) The best explanation I can give, is that the edges of the stunt track props have "curbs". As with all curbs, you can run over them to get a small boost in speed, and those boosts in speed add up to what that guy did. I do this frequently in stunt races, and it helps me to pressure my competition. I'm actually trying to break even on my win/loss ratio in races, and (as of this writing) I'm very close to doing it.

EDIT: Forgot the "Super Boost" - that's where you press down on the gas during the start-of-race countdown, but you let go just as the "1" goes away, and then you step back on it when "GO" pops up to get a big boost off the line.

EDIT (to prevent double-posting):

1. Windsor - 118.0 mph (190 km/h)
2. Windsor Drop - 118.0 mph (190 km/h)
3. F620 - 117.5 mph (189.0 km/h)
4. Exemplar - 117.3 mph (188.8 km/h)
5. Sentinel XS - 117.3 mph (188.8 km/h)
6. Zion - 117.0 mph (188.3 km/h)
7. Zion Cabrio - 117.0 mph (188.3 km/h)
8. Oracle - 115.0 mph (185.0 km/h)
9. Oracle XS - 114.0 mph (183.5 km/h)
10. Felon - 113.8 mph (183.km/h)

I was genuinely surprised to discover Online is still accessible on last gen, given the transfer deadline on the 6th.

 

[yabiggoose]

I believe for now it's still up just can't transfer progress nor does it get updates.

I don't see Rockstar shutting the servers down without at least 30 days (according to the startup screen) for last gen.

Infernus/Turismo Classic and Ruston in the next update.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Oh look a Vuhl 05.

VUHL MOTHER*BLEEP*ER! But being that it's made by Hijak, I'm hoping it's petrol run.

 

[rallymorten]

So the Infernus is more Diablo than Countach?

I'm not too displeased with that. As long as you can apply a livery with some two-letter combination on the side, paint that black and have the rest of the car be yellow.

Yes, I'm *that* kind of person.

Aside from that, my bank account is ready.

 

[Marcus Garvey]

My bank account is never ready for an update, but I suppose it will have to suffer.

 

[Sting]

Colours are throwing me off. You expect the Turismo to be red, and the Infernus to be green because Ferrari / Lamborghini.

Infernus looks to be Diablo shape with a Testarossa front light treatment.
God how I wish the Turismo gets an LM upgrade.

 

[Leadfoot530]

I'm about to be under $10 million reeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy quick.

EDIT: Hey, if he's got pictures of those, tell him to get me a price on the GP1!

Prices are estimates;

GTA Forums
I also have some prices, but those could be not 100% accurate, so keep that in mind:

• Progen GP1 - Around $1,250,000
• Turismo Classic - Around $700,000
• Infernus Classic - Around $900,000
• Hijak Ruston - Around $400,000

I was about to buy a couple of cars in the latest set of discounts, now I'm glad I've not bought them yet and I'll be buying the two classics and the GP1.

 

[MMX]

I'd rather see some cars that are more interesting, or expand the low rider mod. I have no interest in super cars.

 

[yabiggoose]

F40 F40 F40 F40.

11 lowriders not enough? They are all pretty much the same thing anyway.

Only one truck though. I'd like to see the Bobcat, Sadler, and Bison get the treatment. Along with the Washington, Emperor, and Regina.

There's more than 11 super cars already I'm sure. Do we really need that many? I didn't buy this game to run races.

 

[STI9]

There will never be enough cars.

OK, yeah I'd be alright with it if they added another truck.

 

[CSMDuty11]

Until extra garages are no longer available and you have enough favourites to fill in all your spots.

I think its a reasonably safe assumption that if that day comes, there will be that one person that says "aww man I wish they would add......"
It's nice that R* are adding stuff the community asks for though.

 

[Sage Ages]

The Infernus looks like it's based off it's GTA 3 incarnation, hence the weird headlights.

 

[gnomefromnome]

Bad spawn!

 

[Yauma9]

The Infernus looks like it's based off it's GTA 3 incarnation, hence the weird headlights.

I'd say, at least the front is actually based on Vice City's Cheetah.

 

[CSMDuty11]

The Infernus looks like it's based off it's GTA 3 incarnation, hence the weird headlights.

And not just that incarnation, either, if this is to be believed as a beta version of the Infernus from III:

Do agree with the Cheetah observation above, though.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

The green car looks nothing like a Lamborghini. I'm disappointed. At least the other two cars are recognizable.

 

[sparkytooth]

That's a Ferrari F40 based Grotti not a lamborghini based Pegassi like the red car

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

I agree that there will never be enough cars in this game. However if/when the Deluxo is released then that'll be it for me.

 

[Dan]

Infernus/Turismo Classic and Ruston in the next update.

Oh man. Those cars look incredible. Hopefully the Turismo Classic has high grip levels and the Ruston has a decent top speed. In Driveclub, the VUHL 05 is a blast to drive but the top speed is terrible.

View attachment 633938

My thoughts exactly. I'm glad that these cars aren't all above one million.

Infernus/Turismo Classic and Ruston in the next update.

I need some higher quality photographs please...
