One thing I don't get about the Elegy is how people overcome the fact that it loses all traction when letting off the throttle during a turn.

Like all the cars, you get used to the traction loss if you drive the elegy more. I found the Feltzer to be difficult at first, but now it feels pretty good.
Key to elegy is braking a bit early and powering through the corner IMO.

Ive been wondering where the sudden surge in popularity of the Feltzer has come from. Ive always stuck with the Elegy since the game started, I have been thinking about trying the Massacro out as a second choice for high speed tracks but the Feltzer may be worth condsidering instead then??? I was advised to buy a Feltzer when I attended a competition in which Elegy wasn't allowed. I regretted it: it oversteers almost constantly and on every race I attend with it and I always lose against Massacros. I have yet to try the Massacro though. |

When turning hard, you have to let go of the power. If you try to turn with the power on, you'll lose traction. The Massacro, under any turning condition, is hard to break it's traction. |

Raced with this competitively for the first time last night. This car is outstanding. I think the Massacro is safer as it's traction is outstanding, but given the right track, the Feltzer is deadly.
Also, I think it's very attractive car. Can't believe I slept on it for this long.

The Feltzer is a great car, in certain tracks I know it's better than both the Elegy and the Massacro... You only need to know how to use it..

This Feltzer is by far my favourite sports car, and I know I'm not the best racer, but the only tip I can give you is that if it's a corner you normally oversteer on, brake then turn without accelerating or braking, carrying more speed than usual but without changing the speed, then accelerate when you exit the corner, just before you straighten up. If you try to go round some corners accelerating or braking, the car can often oversteer. By 'free-wheeling' it reduces the chance of oversteer, and you can use this on fast sweeping corners, like on North Loop. Remember that you can also carry more speed into the corner this way, but not too much, as you car is more controlled in this game when you are neither accelerating nore braking, so it reduces oversteer, as well as understeer, so you can use this for any car. hope this helps  |

Recently bought a Feltzer and started using it in certain races. Definitely a fun-factor car that can run at the top. IMO, not the best looking Sports car, but it definitely sounds different and does look decent, as long as it doesn't have that two-story wing.

Agreed, I've had mine a while and I would suggest just running stock on the bumpers and the small spoiler if not for looks then for the fact that they clip on poles like its their job. |

However, as you progress you wont need to free-wheel through the turns, it's just how you should practice using the car until you find the neutral speed for it through the various corners. I think this would come more natural to people if GTA weren't a game, as you would actually run the risk of dying if running too fast through the corners and crashing. Without that risk people seem to think that they should work their way down from going too fast to barely managing the turns, which is the wrong order of learning. What you're doing instead is basically to learn the car by finding neutral from going slower then necessary through the corners, and increasing speed as your confidence and comfort in the corners increase. And that's the right order of things. If people start knocking you about because they are overconfident, then they are per definition racing dirty or racing bad. If they can take a corner faster they should also be able to maintain more control, and makes the pass in a safe manner. If they are unable to do that then they're entering the corner too fast for their own skill level and should be learning from you, not the other way around |

I prefer its handling over the Massacro. Might start using it as my sports racing car, so I don't have to soil the Massacro's beauty with off-road tyres.
