The handling reminds me of the coquette (make sense) and the dominator in terms of how to drive Still like those two, it's the challenge of mastering it that's gonna be fun but yeah if I were to choose, I'd go with the Z-type for a serious race.. for the moment...

This car is a serious pain in the ass. Out of 10 laps I did on Cutting Coroners not even 1 was clean. It pissed me off so much I sold it immediately.

The Z-type seriously doesnt handle any better and is ugly as sin. The coquette just requires some getting used to. 10 laps in the car isnt a very fair assessment when no other car in the game is really similar to it. Its only natural to struggle with it at first.

True. The car is hard to control. I wonder if getting good with it will pay off. And Z-Type ugly as sin? C'mon. It looks almost identical to Bugatti Atlantic. If that's ugly, I don't know what isn't.

Yeah I know what its based on. Its based on an ugly car that reminds me of Cruella Deville.

Yeah I know what its based on. Its based on an ugly car that reminds me of Cruella Deville. That's exactly what it reminds me of too. Mine is even black and white. I think it is perfect for my female character. On my male character I still need to pick up a sports classic and having this option is definitely nice, but I am skeptical the coquette will fill the spot. I prefer the monroe from what I've seen, as well as the pigalle. Both are very consistent on their own and I'll likely have to pick one of those. The coquette takes quite a bit of getting used to. I actually like driving it, but like I said above it absolutely hates curbs. It is sooo unpredictable around the slightest of bumps. And there are too many tracks with bumps even worse than cutting coroners, so I think it is a no go for me. I have flipped several times in several locations running cutting coroners for a best lap. The straight after the first real corner that has two little curbed peninsulas I flipped hard once hitting the second peninsula. Going over the grassy patch just after the hospital tunnel. The last hairpin between the two main straights once stopped me dead when I took the turn too wide. And numerous times I've taken large jolts by hitting a curb with the side of the car through the exit of a corner. I don't think I can live with that level of unpredictability.

Broughy will have his video up on friday, so look for it then. I think he will find it is the new top dog, but I am wondering if he will experience (and show) the troubles I have seen with curbs. I have seen some pretty explosive rollovers from the even mildest of curbs.

I have had no flipping issues, it just is ass happy and can break loose on long fast corners. Kind of like a dominator only not as heavy feeling.

Nice to see a coinciding opinion from Parksguard
When driving either I just don't go hard down or completely off on the throttle through or out of a corner, I try to feather it or adjust midway through, it can really put down some speed coming out, it just needs more work. It's also fun to drive a I like the look of a Stingray, it's a keeper, even if I can't drive it like a Z-type yet

sageabkatsor is right about those curbs. I managed to flip the car 3 times on one bloody lap! I tried to observe some pattern there but it seems unpredictable. Like on 4 laps it seems ok and then you catch all hell on the 5th.

I don't know guys... I LOVE this car!!! As soon as I got it modded up, I went directly to Cutting Coroners for 10 solo laps. All 10 were consistent, clean 1:02's. Had a couple minor ass wiggles on each lap, but I think that could be corrected with more experience. Definitely think a sub 1:00 is possible for me, and definitely for a lot of the nonchalantly dominant race masters in this crew.

It is like the dominator v blade for me between the Pigalle and the coquette. Each has their merits, but I will take the dumb man's car that is easier to race with.

Hmm I was getting 59's in my z type and wasn't really pushing myself....quite disappointed because I think the coquette is beautiful but I think I'm going to stick with the z type
