Or this is my thought, a Banger car race at the Race track/ Horse track. Last car standing wins not really a race but demo derby. I think it would be fun.

Yeah, like @Mudd said we could do that at the end of a meet and just jack cars off the road instead of using our own. Because probably all of us put armor on our vehicles.

A derby would be a good activity at the end of a meet, after the trail ride. For a proper 'last car standing', we'll need to use bone stock unmodified cars. We could just swipe them from the highway next to the track.

Or someone could make a vehicle deathmatch at Trevor's Airfield where we pick a vehicle located on the map and stick with that vehicle until it blows up. Last car standing wins. :)
If this gets approved I'll start work on the Vehicle Deathmatch now. 👍

Hehe I already started work on it. It'll take place at the Horse Racing Track instead of Trevor's Airfield though. Found a cool little arena where we could have an awesome demo derby. If you want we could test it on the New Year's Day Trail Meet. :)👍
Edit: It's finished! It's simply called Demo Derby on the Social Club site.
Rules are simple:
There are 16 cars on the track, so choose wisely.
Wait until everyone has chosen a car, then I'll do a "3..2..1..GO!" countdown.
Smash N' Bash your way to victory, but watch out for the debris on the track, which could hamper your car's performance.
The last car still running wins!
If your car explodes, upon respawning, you will wait in the grassy area between the horse track and the demo derby arena. Do NOT run onto the demo derby arena. Doing so will forfeit your position and result in a DNF.
Deathmatch will last for 10 minutes. If more than one car is standing, it's a tie!
You are NOT allowed to exit your vehicle. Doing so will result in instant disqualification.
If your car catches fire, don't give up! Try to ram into other players so your explosion will severely damage or even blow up their car!
And in case you're wondering, weapons are set to "Forced Only", with the Forced weapon being Unarmed (your fists). This makes it so that trigger-happy members can't sabotage the demo derby.

I don't want to be a downer but the damage engine in GTA isn't exactly the most amazing thing Rockstar have ever done. It would take days for the derby to finish.

This is true but they can get destroyed pretty quick if it's constantly getting wrecked. And if the Derby would stay within the front stretch. We could always line up cars to make the walls. And I say no time limit.

Except the winner will always be a Crown Vic.
 
Well...I can't come up with a trail for tomorrow. I think we might just do the one that was done Sunday. Is that cool with you guys?

Patriot is possibly the best in the game, only challenged by the new Sandking, IMO

Hmm I must say that my experience with the Patriot is totally the opposite. I've considered it a few times, and tested it, it never impressed me. I find its grip to be terrible, the wheels spin and the vehicle slides and can't proceed in such climbs that I can easily pass with any of my 4x4 (Rebel, Mesa, SK and Rocoto). I am speaking of all these cars with the turbo mod on (but I came to the same results when I was testing them as standard).

As its grip what I think doomes the Patriot, I also tried it with off-road tires, and it seemed even a little worse. The Rocoto - with sports tires! - has more grip, is much faster, it can even recover speed when - almost at the top - it seems it's going to stop and fail, and finally eats the climb where the Patriot struggles (and fails), mainly due to those wheels spinning without grip, and the vehicle starting to slide down the climb.

Also, I just tried tonight the same climb with a turbo Beejay together with soloaded who was driving a turbo Rancher. We both weren't able to do it. I did it so many times with all the 4 vehicles I own, as it's my favorite testing ground (the X10 trail going from the sawmill to Chilliad).

Of course, I am not talking ground clearance, the agility with obstacles or if the weight sits top or low on the vehicle, I am just speaking of the ability to vertically climb (but I find it so fundamental..).

Tomorrow's meet is open to any offroad vehicle. Sunday's meet will be stock height.

To be honest, I've never really done any real testing. All of the ratings I've given the 4x4's are strictly from spending time on the trails, and usually a different trail each time. Probably not the most accurate method, but I'm not really concerned about the actual data from testing, I just wanna drive the trucks that are the most fun. Coincidentally, my "favorite" 4x4 tends to change on almost a daily basis. :P
 
Results so far from the Survey:

Yeah, me too (generally with all vehicles). I'd get a new one every day.

Btw, I will probably have to miss the SUV meet, have a dinner invitation. Have fun!!
 
Hate to say it guys, but I have relatives over, and I'm letting my 22 year old cousin play GTA on my PS3, so unfortunately I will not be able to attend today's meet. Sorry guys. :(
I'll be around for the Sunday meetup. Have fun! I can't wait to see the pics you folks take!
