Well, it's time to finish a 3-part trip through France's worst sport car!
Video killed the Alpine radio star: final part
Onboy's Alpine
Ok, so after two cars, it's time to do the last of the Alpi trio, Onboy's Black Hearse. While driving, you can see a bit of everything from the other two rides. How?
Specs wise, it's the same idea. 250 Bhp, and improved handling and tranny. Looks wise, it's pretty similar to Kremkme's Alpine, except for the white Enkei wheels, which are standard issue for Onboy's tunes. So, it is a black rally looking car with white wheels. Not much to say here, really.
The handling is the only thing that shows you're in a different car. Now, after basking in the craziness of Harvey's car and being shocked by the grip of the Parrots Alpine, Onboy's car sits somewhere in the middle. Let's put it this way: Harvey's car loves idiots, because it's a free spirit. Kremkme's car tolerates idiots because it only loses its composure in extreme cases. Onboy's car, well, doesn't love idiots. And it does not tolerate then, neither. You can find grip in this, unlike Harvey's, but the line that separates grip from slide is very thin. Razor thin. If you control the right pedal well, the car can go really well. If not, well, you'll be sliding every corner. In the Short ver. GVS, the car could do the first corner gripping, if I controled the accel pedal well. But if I tried to act like a speed junkie, I would only see smoke and the tail would go loony.
Yeah, it may not have a zillion hp like a RUF, but it does have enough hp to make sure that the tail has green card to do everything it wishes. And that may not include the driver, mind you. So Onboy's car is not as effective as Kremkme's, but it is a better handler than Harvey's. Malcom in the Middle, in short.
So there you have it. After meeting 3 amazing cars, I can rest at ease. The Alpine A310 can be a good car, with the right people behind it. If I had to do a top 3, based on overall skills, Kremkme's car would win, hands down. A amazing grip car, that changed my view on RR cars, and proved that they can handle. Onboy's car sits on 2nd place, because it can find grip, but it can be crazy too. Harvey's car would be last, then.
But if I rank these cars by fun, Harvey's car would jump for the gold medal. It is super fun, always willing to laugh along you, while going sideways all the time.
So, excuse me, while I turn the Trial Mountain into Smokey Mountain...
"Engine start"
The End!
