That new bike is like a thrust 2.0, not appealing at all to me.

First impressions on the sports car? Is it on the pace with the other top sports cars? Well.... This thing feels magnatised to the ground, it is so hard to loose control of it That said, it really lacks power, I took this thing around against my feltzer (I've been doing that for the past 40mins now) it's getting times (for me at least) of 3-4sec slower

Three tracks
Cutting Corners Easy Corners (my personal track) Brand's Snatch
I did 12 laps in btoh cars on all three (just finsihed on Brand's Snatch)
Calcualted the average and it's actually 3.77 seconds slower
---
If I were to take a guess as to why this car was made, it would be for the non-racer crowd, this thing only looses control on bumps where the in-game differential deicdes it's time to loose control on pretty much every car.
Other than that it really isn't a top racer, it lack so much power that everytime I go on a straightaway I can see my purple Feltzer pass me on the exit of a turn (even before i did my testing)
It's not a car I see any of the top crowd using, but those who like mashing the gas and not spinning out, this car is for them.
I guess it's a beginner's vehicle
EDIT:
I forgot to mention this things breaks, they are so OP for anycar, which makes me believe in this 'beginner's car' creation even more so
EDIT EDIT:
I meant 3.77 Sec Not 6! I smudged my hand writing on my notes, I thought something about that calculation didn't seem right, so I re-did them and that's what I got sorry

It's a little annoying when a new patch comes out and I see some people dismissing the updates almost immediately, forgetting that this game isn't just about what our crew, or what anyone else's crew, specialises in.

Ha hah, that's keeping to the general reality driftin.
I edited my last post based on the cars performance, that said, I am keeping it
It won't win me any real races, but I like it, I can take it easy in this thing and if anyone complains, well I like how it handles, if if it isn't perfect.

Yeah, several of my favourite cars aren't that good for racing. I like driving them in free roam because they're fun, they look cool to me, or both. Doesn't matter if they're not the quickest around the track, and I feel that this is how most people will look at the new car.

Jojoba oil, Pringles and a pair of tights are a great way to spend a Tuesday evening.

That and the Dubsta.

It's how I feel about the Merryweather Mesa, Bifta, Blista, Monroe, Cheetah, Bullet, Buffalo S, and many others. Don't care if they're not competitive, in at least one other way I like them.

I can test stock versions on CC later if you want. I'm an expert at this track.

Well... the forum just glitched after I typed a LONG patch review... so screw it, here's the summarized version.
It's a patch, not DLC, so I can't be too unhappy. That being said, it caters to the Deathmatch community, so I'm disappointed. The new car sucks, too low in grip and acceleration to be competitive against the top 2-3 cars in the class. The bikes? Screw you R*. The new icons and quick job stuff is nice little updates.
The guns? WTF??? Sniper rifles are laser beams in R* games. No bullet drop, no velocity... just INSTANT KILL the moment you pull the trigger. Now it's a semi-automatic??? I played Red Dead Redemption Free Roam alot... till everyone realized it was just best to use sniper rifles all day. Free Roam is almost dead for me in GTAV because of glitchers, this new sniper rifle doesn't help.
All-in-all, can't believe we waited this long for this crap... but it is a patch, not DLC, so w/e.

Did the world records get nerfed? Was testing out the new car and kept getting world records despite getting shit lap times.

Sounds like the new car sucks lol.
Wish they busted out a new Super that could give the Zentorno a run for it's money.

I would like to see some reclassification of the cars. I didn't play the first couple of months, but I've read that the Oracle was once a Sedan? They need to move it back. Sultan and Futo to Coupes class. etc. etc. BALANCE THE CARS!

I like where the Sultan is at right now just because if it's moved to sedans it will dominate even more than the Allergy dominates the Sports class.
