The Infernus always seemed to be the Jester of the Supercars, it was underrated, I'm glad Broughy is Validating my suspicions on the two in his Top 10 vids.
I so want an Infernus more than ever now...

Infernus in top 5, i didnt see that one coming! I watched 10-6 and thought okay, so I think the top 5 has to be Zentorno, Turismo, Entity, Elegy and... wait, what the hell kind of car is even left? Took me ages to realise that it was the Infernus since I was convinced it was pretty much on pace with the Cheetah. I'm guessing that R* quietly buffed the Infernus in a recent update and its now the fastest car in the game by 10+ seconds. Hope I'm right I didnt believe that the spoiler would benefit it as much but i guess its like the case with the jester, which broughy talken about, that it helps it with the understeering. Or they just made it OP like you said. Infernus master race

Really shocked with the 9F not getting in the top 10, would of definately thought it would have made it in. Guess I over-estimated it Depends on the track. But, I just watched 6-10 and Broughy said the Massacro lacks traction. I'm wondering if that was a mistake on word choice. The Massacro has bad handling (turning responsiveness), but outstanding traction. I would say it has to have the top three in traction. By traction, I mean grip. I mean the car, is tough to make it spin out or oversteer, especially when adding a spoiler. When I think of bad traction, I think of the Comet, Carbonizzare, Dominator, 9F, etc which ironically have good handling. The Elegy has good handling and traction, but completely loses its traction when letting off the gas while past a certain speed. Correct me where I'm wrong, guys. I think a lot of people use the terms traction and handling together when they're different.

I think a lot of people use the terms traction and handling together when they're different. He was saying bad traction in comparison to the Feltzer, and by extension, the Elegy too. The Elegy oversteer problem is more a function of other factors, including it's traction bias (it is AWD) and steering lock. I don't think he was talking about the Massacro's traction in comparison to the other cars you mentioned. And yes, some do use traction and handling interchangeably. IMO, traction is in reference to the amount of friction a car can maintain in various directions. Handling include that, but also includes braking and the car's oversteer/understeer tendencies in corners.

I think a lot of people use the terms traction and handling together when they're different. By traction I mean the in game stat of traction, and the Massacro is definitely in the bottom half of sports cars with that. The amount of traction determines how quickly you can go around corners - more traction = higher cornering speed. The massacro can't get around corners as quickly as other sports cars and relies on getting on the power early and maximising acceleration + straight line speed. It might be hard to make it spin out, but so is a Bison. Handling as you put it is more about the overall turning capabilities of the car as Ser Tandur has eluded to.

Yeah, it seems that we're in agreement with the way the car is, were just using different terminology.

I got the top three right straight off the bat, and my adjusted top 5 that I posted on the 10-6 video was spot on. I wasn't exactly a Nostradamus with my guessing, but I could've done worse. I must look absolutely silly for expecting the Entity to be better than the Turismo.

I think it was pundip that was the only one who had the top 5 correct from this thread iirc, just fyi.
