Definatly getting the Local Motors Rally Fighter-est off-roader when it launches. Don't worry, I had to look up the name, too. At least the company name. My reaction seeing it was like: "That's a...that's a...a...Rally Fighter...a...*looks it up*...Local Motors Rally Fighter!"

The Corquette looks fqntastic, too. May drop a couple hundred grand on that aswell.

Getting the weapons of course, but other than that, meh. Those plans will probably go out the window upon launch day.

The super car looks okay. The front bumper, minus the lights, is giving me a huge P1 vibe. Gonna have to do some hunting with that one.

Nope. No one ever uses the boats in GTA/Saints Row/pretty much any sandbox game with boats in it.

I use my Speeder all the time.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Psst R*, just release the ultimate boat already: the VORTEX.

What?

 

[AudiMan2011]

What?

Hovercraft.

I love that boat.

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.

You could be driving the scooter and me the akuma and you'd win. I suck so bad with bikes. I hit everything.

I'd shell out megabucks for the hovercraft.

Need a 4th garage so bad.

 

[Sage Ages]

Need money for a fourth garage so bad.

 

[ViscousTraction]

I need a Jay Leno garage.

 

[Sage Ages]

I don't even need 40 cars, but the two-car and six-car apartments are too nice looking for me to not get them.

 

[Leadfoot530]

I really wish R* would add the chrome wheels from the heist update into singleplayer. I could really use them for customizing cars...

Anyhoo, would someone mind hoping into an online session and letting me them while I'm off the radar? Kinda need it for daily objectives and, I'm petrified of joining a public session on PS3.

Sure. I'm online right now. Add me: CallmeDan_

Wow. I was about to shoot down a smuggler Swift, and it despawned just a few hundred yards out of missile lock range. I had my Buzzard landed on top of the mountain behind the Vinewood Sign and I was just walking around, waiting for the next random event. Suddenly the helicopter icon appears and I hop into my Buzzard instantly. It was out to the east of Sandy Shores, heading towards Mt. Chiliad. By the time we're near the first two trailers of Crystal Clear Out III, it despawned.

Please keep in mind that this all occurred in less than two minutes.

Disappointed to find out that you cannot wash the dirt off of cars using the hose on the fire engine.

Once I flew all the way to Paleto Bay, with the first aircraft I found, the Annhilater. Got within firing range, but with those pea shooters I should have just rammed it. And then it disappeared almost immediately WTF. Then this weekend, a smugglers plane showed up by Fort Zancudo. Sure enough, called for a Hydra, as soon as I reached it the plane disappeared.

Missed the point.

 

[pokemonfan58]

Did anyone saw the new super car yet? The Progen T20?

Oh my :censored:ing god is that what I think it is?

A McLaren P1? If the price is right, I'm absolutely going to sacrifice my Zentorno for this thing.

I think it's a more like this:

Sorry to disagree with you but it definitely looks like a McLaren P1.

So this

Looks NOTHING like this:

Ok these pictures are making this page difficult to load on mobile. Take it into a PM. kthnxbai

Anyhoo, I've got a Hydra now.

 

[Dan]

EDIT: Double post.

 

[FT-1]

As with most cars in GTA V, it is a mash-up of a number of cars. It has hints of both the McLaren P1 and Saleen S5S Raptor, they do this to prevent any lawsuits coming their way.

 

[pokemonfan58]

So this

Looks NOTHING like this:

Maybe a cross between both. Since we haven't seen what the back looks like, we cannot determine the winner. The way the front looks and is shaped resembles a bit of a McLaren P1, plus the sides on the front is not banked compared to the Saleen Raptor. Overall it looks like it's going to be based off the McLaren P1. Remember keep this in mind, Rockstar hasn't shown us the entire car yet.

I'd say the main inspiration is the S5S Raptor with bits of the P1 (and possibly other hyper cars) thrown in to avoid copyright claims.

The copyright claims is quite obvious already for GTA. Of course they cannot make the car look almost exactly like its real life counterpart although they somehow manage to get away with this with the Infernus on GTA San Andreas which was based off the Honda / Acura NSX and it looks exactly like its real life counter part with small differences such as the badge being removed and changes to the front and rear bumper. Even with those small changes, it still looks exactly like an NSX.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Whatever it is, it looks AMAZING!

For those of you wondering about the payouts for shooting down smuggler aircraft, I've shot down either three or four helicopters, and from what I've seen, the more of them kiss the pavement on your end, the payment becomes greater and greater.

First one was about 9k, then 12k, and the last one I downed gave me 12k. I don't know how long these go on for, but if I have an Annihilator or a Buzzard in reach, I'm taking that sucker out of the sky.

Definatly would like to see them spawn for great durations of time, though.

[Snorevette]

They already added a Super class car in Part 1. I wonder if this is either going to be a low-mid tier Super class car or a class-breaking Sports class car (#NERFTHESTIRLING2015)?
