Okay, fellas. Time for some peer pressure. Whooh~

I mean I'm going to spend. Help me influence, or say wait for update.

Sports Classic:Looking at Casco.

Super: Looking at Adder.

Buy the Casco..It's a great car in its class and it has visual appeal
Don't buy the Adder..It costs more than its worth considering the others will out drive it.

*used to be a great car in its class. The Stirling is so absurdly fast that it's not even worth using anything else in the class for races anymore. If you're gonna buy anything in the SC class that isn't the Stirling, don't bother even considering how fast it is round a track.

 

[Dan]

What game mode do you grind? I find LTS with a lot of people the best

Mostly character missions, like playing Rooftop Rumble with a Rhino.

I always hated the AI in this game for that. They also hit you when you're not even on the road.

I think it's because they're trying to be a "hero" and kill the gunman.

While this is true I still think a good driver in a Casco can give a poor driver in a Stirling a run for the money... I personally love the Casco but I own the GT.

That's true, but if the host is picking a class other than Sports, Super or Motorbikes then any bad driver is probably just gonna say 'wtf i cant use my elegy/osiris/bati im leaving this bad race'

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I personally don't own any top tier car in any class, except the Bati and the Rhapsody, that is.

What is the top sports bike anyway?

I know I can stomp most riders on a Hakuchou because of the lean trick, or I run into a lot of bad riders

Mostly character missions, like playing Rooftop Rumble with a Rhino.

Ahh right, I don't mind character missions but IMO can get boring if I'm solo missioning like that, hence my preference to LTS.

 

[Sage Ages]

I don't own any top-tier cars. I just rely on everyone else being terrible drivers.

Bati and Akuma are archrivals. Bati will take it on straights, Akuma has it in acceleration.

If you know what you're doing, it really doesn't matter. Comes down to driver skill.

I figured those two bikes would be going at it, but I thought the Hakuchou has the highest top speed out of all of them?

This..I've won using a Nemesis against those 2 bikes and I've won plenty in my Turismo vs other faster supers.

Uh... I always thought the Bati did. Not really sure though.

Yeah, especially if catchup and slipstream is on. I'll bet I could win a sports classic race in my Tornado with those on, assuming I get a bad driver.

 

[leeislee]

I'm in a public lobby on my own and it's almost none stop smuggler planes/helicopters, target vehicles and distracting the cops for Lester. I'm earning a fortune!

 

[Sage Ages]

I've beaten people in Carbonizzares and Coquettes with a stock Futo once.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The Futo and the Blista Compact really should get out of Sports..

 

[Stavingo]

Uh... I always thought the Bati did. Not really sure though.

Well I gotta check that out then

 

[SomePlayaDude]

So, what's the current best chopper around for performance?

*crosses fingers to hope it's not the Sovereign*

Swift.

Oops, you meant the bikes.

Innovation.

 

[Sage Ages]

I've never used any of the other choppers for a decent amount of time, but I think the Bagger is pretty well rounded.

I also do the little free roam activities like distracting the cops, shooting down smuggler aircraft, destroying target vehicles, and robbing armored trucks. It pays extremely well. I'm sitting at $2,754,266. Hydra, here I come!

 

[Sage Ages]

I always complain about not having money, but when I do, I never know what to do with it.

I wonder if the payout of taking down the smuggler aircraft depends on the time? I destroyed one recently and it only paid $7,000.

 

[samurai8juice]

I don't own any top-tier cars. I just rely on everyone else being terrible drivers.

I own a Jester and a Zentorno, but its in my 'storage' (cars that I either can't sell from being glitched or don't care about).

I have a Carbonizzare, but only because it has such an amazing sound, but horrible handling.

I love the Vigero too. I don't drive it much, but its an amazing car.

I'm getting 30 grand, switched characters, and got 9 grand. I thought it was in 3 grand increments?

I'm consistently getting $30k. Not sure why it's doing that for you. I doubt time affects the payout.

I bought the Jester when it first came out, but sold it when the Massacro came out. THEN..the race car versions came out. Now I own a race version of the Jester. And I'm pretty sure the Carbonizzare was the second premium car I bought, and still own it. I have won many races with it also.

Bati is the best all-rounder bike for races.
Akuma is great for free roaming through twisty sections, it suffers on the straights because its terrible wheelie ability.
Hakuchou and I think the Thrust both share the highest top speed, but the Hakuchou can actually turn unlike the Thrust.

The Thrust is actually fast? I tried it when it first came out and it seemed like a very underwhelming bike.

 

[gnomefromnome]

It's a highway cruiser. Take off is not it's forte and neither is turning at speed I think.

I understand that, but I never expected it's top speed to be as high as the Hakuchou.
