Quote from Mustangman759 :Frankly I prefer the tandem racing when it can be utilised correctly. I still think its pathetic we limit the speed to about 200, id rather see them up the speed to like 210 or 215 in a test and see what it does.
I hve a better idea - lets fine them for not giving their all in the race and not bumpdrafting, since NASCAR required drivers to give 100%.

IMO, remove the plates, BUT find a way to limit the cars top speed. Obviously going 240 like Rusty did in that Nextel test is absurd, but 205-210 is IMO the upper limit as far as top speed goes.

However, somebody else on another board came out with the cars and tracks are infinitely safer so they can go faster argument. That grinds my gears. Yes the cars and tracks are safer.....but drivers still get hurt or worse around the word. Racing isn't ever 100% safe (nor will it ever be). Just because the cars are safer doesn't mean they should run 240 or 250 or whatever they'd run without plates. That's asking for trouble. Carl Edwards got into the fence WITH the plates and we all know how fast they were running in 09.

Bobby Allison went into the fence unrestricted. That was with 1987 cars and tech, running at around 215. Now imagine what the cars would do with today's tech, running 220-230?

Remebmer, Rusty went 230mph in 2004 in a private test and said the radio cut out at that speed (I think it was), nine years on and we have an uglier car but a faster car due to tech advances. 200-210 is as fast as they need to go.

Interesting opinion here:

As far as the SP goes I tend to agree, the missions feel repetitive. The MP's better however.

That chrome RS is ugly.

Sandking XL is stupidly awesoe. Huge (bulletproof upgraded) tires, too high for people to aim at you easily, it can drive over cars....

Now need the turbo for it and good luck stopping that thing.

Screw that I want kilts and lederhosen in a clothing DLC now!

Also Phoenix isn't that great. I plan to modify something into a tank.

EDIT: Speaking of tanks I'm watching a tank v nuzzard v jet v random people war on the spectator mode. I'm wanting the buzzard to win

That's a cool looking gaming PC though.

I just want the car in GTAO

Of course the ONE car I want (Phoenix) never spawns. Whereas the car I got (Ruiner) is everywhere. No I won't go into a mission just to get a car thank you when R* switch up the missions and make the boundaries smaller (see Boneyard)

Quote from NitroNitrous :GTA 5: Rapper Wants Game Recalled Over Track Inclusion

WTF so weird that Rockstar did that, would love to know Rockstar's version of the story

I posted that a page ago, Here

I'm using my cheapest garage car as a rolling bomb to deter griefers. Somebody tries to run me over? Hop out, hit left, fireworks. Hopefully they get the message

I'll admit to being a nasty SOB with stickies.

So I got a Surano roadster, sticky bombs.

Yeah I loaded it up with stickies, parked it outside a store and waited. First guy to run out and try to get in got blown up. I'll admit it was mean but.....also darkly hilarious

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :
I also tried to jump onto a train at one point but missed and almost got killed by a guy on a bike. It would have been a great show for anyone spectating at the time.

Managed that last night with my Trams-Am alike. Spent 40 minutes sat in the back of a train admiring the scenery.

Once again R* are in trouble over music.

A rapper (I forgot who) is......well, DEMANDING R* DESTROY EVERY COPY OF V!!!!!!!! Is it 1982 again?

I can see his point and let's assume he didn't get paid, why did they use his songs anyway?

Quote from pipa :Does work, but you can also get the police car in your garage. Seems to be the only one that works. If you drive it into ls customs you can even modify it slightly and get insurance.

Took me 3 tries to get it, cause im rubbish.

Great, as if I need MORE kids in my sessions thinking they are teh copz and pulling people over

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :I might be about to blow your mind...you can hang off the side of some SUV's, just like the FIB do. Good luck finding unused collectors edition codes, you can have my stupid hat and the bag that broke the first time I used it though.

Evidence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjRasMNFLF4 (Awful bloody video, but he shows it, and tells you how to do it)

O.o

I now have a reason to go into GTAO and test this.

I hate online-only trophies by the way.

I also, to paraphrase Foamy here, HATE ****ING TROPHIES FOR TURNING A CONTROLLER ON!

I only just now twigged you can ride around in the back of vans. It was a lighbulb moment when I hit triangle and sat in the back. Wow

Sidenote, If anyone knows where I can buy unused collector's edition codes.....yeah, I sorta want the stuff

I'll take your 120k please, send it my way :P

I'd say go get the free Elegy if you can. Free stuff's always good

You can only own one property though. I managed to evade a 4* wanted level by using the train tracks. Problem is I can't borrow a car now to save my life....and I need 388k to get my 400k apt

Quote from Mustafur :Gulliver Baller SUV(looks like Range Rover) is the best car i have seen for selling its worth 9k

Just got 9.2k for it....

Almost, ALMOST have 40k, 1/10th of what I need for my ideal apartment.

Survived three 7k bounties too. How does the AI know it's me jacking their ride, manage to call Lester AND put a bounty on me in seconds, is there a magic technique I don't know about?

As for people whining about being killed, I had a 5k bounty on me, came out my garage, this guy shot me and collected it. I chased him down giving him the finger and he asked wtf I was doing. I told him I was giving him a LA how are you doing?

EDIT: Lolwut, Futo gets me 1337 if I ding it up. Right then.....

Quote from Mustafur :find the shortest track, then do around 10 races on that track with atleast 3 people, bam you got like 50k from that alone.

I tend to do the circle track at the jail for money and rep. Problem is nobody wants to help out

EDIT: Paleto Bay garage, cars drive past, grab one, take it to mod shop.....Profit

Quote from Mustafur :Serious money to be made in races, i've gotten enough to buy my first apartment now.

Okay how? Most I've come across on PS3 is 10-15k for a win and I'm usually mid pack here. I am however liking the fact I can just go off and do my own thing if I want to. Though I'm wondering how I'm going to get 100k or so for an apartment given my lack of epic win skills (though I had a race I so nearly won last night around the top of the map)

I wish I hadn't picked my starting car though (Dominator, Mustang-type one) as I got a free Elegy and now ran out of garage space when there's so many cool cars to get though.

I feel like playing with you lot on PS3 at some point. If you spot some guy in a cowboy hat in a pink Elegy charging across the map.....yeah it's probably me. Or a black and red Dominator

Think you can but I'm not at that point in the storyline yet, I'm leading up to the freighter bit.

As for how I got a million? Stocks.

That whoosh you heard was sarcasm right over my head

Either way, I spent a million on an Adder. Customized it for another 45k...and it's just gone.

Same with Franklin's buffalo (But I prefer his bike either way)
