You can find the evil mastermind of this idea here: https://www.youtube.com/@UCEfK570S70xMBJ1Ago4PcvQ Please head over and subscribe. And here we are with the moment you've all been waiting for. It's new car time in GTA and we've got the Shih Tzu Katora. And I've got to say, fabulous work on the logo Rockstar. I mean seriously, this is top draw stuff. Really impressed. Now obviously, as you'd expect, I've tested this in the way that I normally would, in that I've done a lap of the map and I'm happy to confirm that it completed that lap of the map in a touch over 13 minutes. And I also checked the top speed and I am able to confirm that yes, it definitely has one, but I decided it wasn't worth measuring. So if there was ever a car that warranted a fuster clock, it's this one. This was, this was built with this in mind. There was, there was, there was never any other way I was going to test this. So if you're new to the channel, fuster clock is a really cool idea that I blatantly pinched from Digby C's Caesar. Popped a link to his channel down below. You can see all of the clocked by videos that he's done. I think it's a fabulous idea. So I've decided to do them with some of my own. And yeah, it is perfect. Now all I need to do is drag this perfect thing up onto that little Corona and then we can start three little steps. That's all you need to do. Come on, go, go, go. Right. There we go. I can already see this is going to be a long video. So what we're actually doing here is we are doing the clucking bell farm raid in the worst cars possible. And as soon as I saw this thing was going to be released, I knew we had to do the clucking by this thing because it looks just brilliantly bad. And you'll know what I mean by brilliantly bad as we go through. So let's just clear this out. And so far it's all been a little bit tame. So my first version of this car was very much brown on brown. So let's, let's turn it up a little bit. Let's pop the drift tune on. I know what some of you are thinking. The drift tune is crap. And some of you might also be thinking, I know you can't drift because I can't drift. So that's it decided we need to put the drift tune on. And off we go with our brown on brown drift reveal. Let's see how this gets on. I think I can describe that as a fairly significant negative improvement. This is borderline uncontrollable. I will get around to a review. Honestly, I will get around to a review. Right, let's just clear this out. And let's start to talk about this car. So just released today with GTA online. And this is actually based on the Suzuki Carry, which you might know if you're based in the UK, you might know it was marketed over here as a Bedford Rascal. So this was a K car. And the K cars were really popular in Japan. Because you may or may not know, but car ownership in Japan is quite difficult. So for example, for most types of car, you have to be able to prove legally prove that you have somewhere to park your car before you can buy it. So that means you either need to have a house with a drive, which is unusual in one of the most expensive places to live on earth. Or you need to have purchase an on street parking space. Now, the K cars are exempt from that rule. So as a result, these are ridiculously popular in Japan, because you can own one without having to prove you've got somewhere to park it. The only downside is there are some quite strict restrictions on engine size and the size of the car. So that's where cars like this and the Suzuki Cappuccino and the Daihatsu Copan came from. These were all really, really tiny sports cars and sports coupes that still fitted within the K car rules. And back to the the K truck, which is what this is. How's it going? Okay, I suppose. And what you need to know is by this point, I've probably already spent close to 30 minutes doing these missions. And if you're used to doing a Cluckinbell farm raid, you'll know you can do the whole thing in under 45. So the fact that it's taken me 30 minutes to do it just just shows you what we're dealing with here. Now, I need to be careful what I say, because I don't want you to think this is a bad car. Because I'm not gonna lie. This is brilliant. I mean, it's, it's crap. It's if you think of all the ways that a thing can be either good or bad. You know, create yourself a little tick list of ticking good and ticking bad. But this is going to fill the bad column up pretty quickly. It's not good at anything. And it's not fast, even though it does feel fast. It's not fast. It only feels fast because it's so slow, and so ridiculously tiny compared to everything else. And so bouncy, and there's no way over the back end. So it constantly kicks out of the back. So it's not fast. Anyway, before we carry on now, it's time for our first proper costume change. Oh and by the way Hazard - PLEASE DON'T STEAL MY FOOTAGE AGAIN - Thanks ;) Be kind to yourself everyone.
Shitzu Keitora – Is this the worst car ever for the Cluckin Bell Farm Raid? GTA Online Weekly update
So we're back with the journey again. Now a couple of weeks ago I did a video showing how I was pretty confident that the slam truck was the worst car in GTA Online and then my buddy Digby said, so yeah this leaves me with a dilemma, is the journey really worse than the slam truck and how do I find out? Well let's have a look at how it does as a mobile home because oh my god that's disgusting, that's like Trevor's trailer. So it's not off to a good start so what I've decided to do is do seven tests of whether this really is the worst car and basically can this do anything well and just to make it easier I'm doing it in a public session. So let's get on with this and the first test is the lap of the map. Behold that speed and power, dear god. Now there's going to be a lot of fast forwarding in this, I can tell you that for nothing, there's going to be a hell of a lot of fast forwarding in this clip. So much so that we're going straight to the top speed. Now for those of you that are new to my videos this is actually a section of track around the north of the map. Now I've actually got more time than usual to explain this, what I've done is chosen a section that's really straight that I've been able to measure that is exactly one mile long and what I do I take each car, fire it down here, work out how long it took me to get there and that gives you the average speed you can maintain through traffic, not a theoretical top speed that you can do downhill with a tailwind, this is the speed that anyone can pick up a car and do. A good speed is usually around, you know, 110 to 120 is a moderately fast car and this piece of crap, 76 miles an hour, 47 seconds it took to do that, that is one eternity later, unfathomably slow, this is ridiculous. So as we actually come round, let's finish this map up now, this is normally, this point on the bridge is where I start talking to wrap a lap up but it's so goddamn slow, I've actually got forever to talk about this and as we finish, 13.48. So the lap definitely failed, definitely failed, but will it do any better off-road? Thanks Jeremy, some of the cars that don't do very well lap in the map, a really good off-road, maybe this is one of those, maybe because it's heavy, this is just going to barrel through, maybe it's just going to charge through all of the undergrowth and all of the overgrown vegetation, all the mud, it will just charge through. Speed and power doesn't work, surely, maybe not, but this is where it's going to, this is where it's going to come into its own, getting up these hills, it's going to use its weight, it's going to just power up there, yep, power up there, that's what it's going to do, any minute now it's going to power up there, it's just, it's trying to build a tension, it is going to power up there, there you go, it powered up there. Now this is where it gets interesting, because even the Lakaroo managed to do this in the snow, I mean, like eventually it did, and this is just, oh, I don't even know how to describe this, as I say, the whole point of this video is to find out if this thing can do anything well, so we've deduced it can't drive on road, and it pretty much can't drive off road, and considering it's a car, driving is the main thing you would expect to be able to do with these, the two places that you can do it are a little bit too much for this piece of crap, and yes, I did sit there with my finger on the trigger for a whole night cycle to try and get this thing up, but everyone's got the limits, and what you see here is me giving up, so that's test two failed. So I thought, let's give it some easy missions, so we know it's not very good at missions, we saw it in the cooking bell farm raid on Digby's video, and let's be honest, it made a complete arse of that, but can it do something simple? Can it get me away from a stash house? Come on, you should be able to do this, you can do this on a moped, I've done this on a moped. A pass, our first pass. Again, something that should be easy, stunt jumps, these are all over the map, so I'm starting with an easy one, and it's made a bit of a mess of that, so what I'm going to do, I'm going to take an even longer run-up, and even with the long run-up, it's terrible, so what I'm going to do, I'm going to take an even longer run-up, you do not want to know, you will not believe how far back I had to go to get this run-up, and it has actually put, so that's good, that's one thing. So let's try one of the more tricky stunt jumps, and that was so bad it didn't even recognise it as an attempt. So let's have another go, and that is perfect, look at that, that's a thing of beauty, but it's still a fail.
The Worst car in GTA – Is the Journey good at anything?
We have a new car. The Grotti Itali Classic. Brand new from GTA this week and this is based on the Ferrari 308. Absolutely gorgeous thing, originally driven by Tom Selleck's moustache in Magnum PI. So this is brand new this week, so let's have a look at whether it's worth picking up. Not that all of you can pick it up, for reasons that we'll come back to later. So the first lap I did, well, do you know what, let's just have a look at this first lap. Hmm, 9.15. Now that's not actually bad for a lap that scruffy. So let's go again, but this time let's do it properly-ish. So first part of the review as always, got to start with the looks. Absolutely fabulous looking thing, great replica. Triple lights at the back instead of double that you normally get on a Ferrari, but that aside. This is a really good replica for the 308. It couldn't look like anything else. It's a fabulous looking thing. Slightly annoying that almost every car Rockstar make at the moment seems to have the wheels clicking through the front arches. But, as I've said a couple of times, if this is indicative of the quality of the cars and the quality of the models we're going to have with GTA 6, I'm really looking forward to that. Because this is a really, really, really nice bit of work. So before we move on, we will look at customisation. Not that I'd customise this one much at all, because why would you? It's really strange, there is actually quite a lot of customisation, but most of it's not worth bothering with. Because the way it came out of the box, or the way it came out of the box when I picked it up, was pretty much perfect for me. I thought, there are some nice liveries, because believe it or not, the 308 originally did have some rallying pedigree. And yes, I know I should have put the Robin 1 licence plate on there, but there is a reason that I didn't do that. And that is... Yeah, I hope that's cleared that up. Back to customisation. Like I said, there's plenty you can do, but most of it, I just didn't really want to, because I don't think any of the customisation options actually made it look better. So I've ended up with a pretty standard 308, with a few bits thrown on. So, let's have a look at the top speed. So this is round the back side of the map, where I've got a section of track that's a mile long. So I can barrel down here as fast as I can go, and measure how long it takes me to travel that mile. I do a little bit of simple maths, and that gives you the average achievable top speed through traffic. Not a theoretical top speed, this is what you could actually do, what anyone could actually get in the car and do. And, as we come up to the finish line, under this sign near the silos, let's have a look at what the Itali Classic did. So it covered that in 31 seconds, with an average top speed of 115, which is... Do you know what, like everything else to do with the performance, it's kind of ok. Everything about it is kind of ok. I'm certainly not saying this is a mad car. It is an interesting one, because the handling is very strange. You would have to describe the turning as pointy, it's a very pointy car. It dives about all over the place, that's why my first lap was so scruffy. But, it does have a huge amount of downforce. It has a lot more downforce than you would think it really should have, considering what type of car it is. That makes it a lot of fun to drive. Now, as you've already seen from the initial lap time, yes that was a scruffy lap time. Look at the initial lap time and from the top speed, this is not the fastest car in the class. It's nowhere near the fastest car in the Sports Classics. But, it does give you a really good sense of speed, it feels fast. Even when you're going slow in this thing, it feels fast. And how can you not love having a targa top? And how can you not take the roof off? So, all things being equal, I actually think this is a really good car. And that's to remind me, because so far I've been almost entirely positive about this car. So let's get into some negatives. And there is a big one. And that is that this thing is currently locked behind GTA+. The only reason I've got it, is because I forgot to cancel it after last month. I didn't keep GTA+, specifically for this car. I wouldn't really say it's worth it. I just forgot to cancel it, so I thought, well I've got it, let's do it anyway. So should you, is this car worth you getting GTA+. 100% no. It's really not. And that's not to say it's bad. It's not a bad car, at all. It's just not worth that effort or investment. Because let's face it, it's only going to be locked behind GTA+, probably for a week. At the most, a month. So you're going to get to buy it soon anyway. Yes, it's discounted at the moment. But you are going to get to buy it soon. And honestly, I don't think it's good enough to justify spending any real money on it. It's certainly very nice, but not really good enough to do that.
Grotti Itali Classic – is it worth GTA+?? GTA Online A Safe House in the Hills DLC Lap of the map
Welcome back, or if you're new here, just welcome. We're back with car reviews now, and we're starting with the frankly wonderful Fista Astrali. So this is a new release for this week, and unfortunately, this car is going to be locked behind GTA Plus for a whole month, which I'm not happy with. I don't like it when they do that. I don't mind it when they do it for a week, but for a whole month, especially, and you know, spoiler alert, especially for such a good car. So what I'm going to say is what I always say with this. I have this. If any of you want this, my PSN is on screen. Add me as a friend. Add me as a friend. We can meet up in a session, and I will let you buy this one. It's not a problem. I don't do that to make money. I don't know if you know how car sales work. The person selling the car doesn't get any of the money. You just get to buy a copy. But yeah, if anyone wants this and they don't have GTA Plus, we'll come back to that number plate later, but you don't have GTA Plus, give me a shout. We can sort you out. But back to the car, and what do I think of this? Well, I've been quite excited about this since I first saw the first screen grab. So this is based, I believe, I haven't seen an official line on this yet, but I think this is based on this, the Nardone 928, which is a resto mod for the original and frankly brilliant Porsche 928, a car that was just absolutely stunning in its time. It was first built in 1977, and it was so far ahead of its time that this is the car that, if I remember rightly, Jeremy Clarkson in a review said he once left London with a freshly cooked chicken, and by the time he got to his mother's house in Doncaster, which is 180 miles away, the chicken was still warm. So it's talented on that front, it also has pop-up headlights, and who doesn't want pop-up headlights? But also, with the proper application of a rather offensive number plate like this one, or this one, you can cause a right old ruckus in Argentina if you want to. And if anyone doesn't have a clue what I'm talking about here, just get on BBC iPlayer, look up the Top Gear Patagonia special, another Top Gear special which had one of the original versions of this car in, absolutely fabulous watch, I recommend it to anyone. So back to the car... Apologies, we're still getting rid of the end of this ridiculous infection, whatever it was. Back to the car, and what do I think? Well, I've tested this three times now, I tested the original unmodified, or the base version, I tested it with mods applied, and then I tested this in the middle, which is the HSW version, just to see what the difference was between them. And I can tell you that the difference is quite stark. The base version, before you modify it, feels heavy and lardy and slow, and the time it did was like a nine and a half minutes around this lap, which is not brilliant. And for those of you that are new to the channel, what I do, I take each of the cars on a full lap of the map, so it's a circuit that I designed myself that starts with a twisty section, it has some high speed cornery sections, and then it has some flat out sections where I can measure the top speed, and it's a reasonably fair track, although I do think it does slightly bias towards cars with a good top speed. So I tested all three. The first of these, completely unmodified, did a 9.30, which is not horrifically slow for a car with no mods, and let's face it, who drives these cars with no mods? No one. With the mods applied, that brought it down by 40 seconds. Now, neither of these laps were particularly clean, but that brought it down to under nine minutes, which is actually, for a non-HSW car, that's a reasonable time. Still not blistering, but pretty respectable. And as for what the HSW version did? Well, we'll get back to that in just a second, but what I'm about to do, again if you are new to this, this is where I test the top speed. So instead of doing a theoretical top speed, or a top speed on a piece of perfectly flat road, running downhill to get the maximum possible, I try and go for the maximum achievable top speed. So I have this section of road, which I measured out, which is exactly one mile long. I get down here as quickly as possible, do a little bit of very simple maths, and that tells me the average top speed through traffic. Because you will notice, I do leave the traffic on, and that's because when I test cars, I'm looking for how usable they're going to be in missions. And in missions, you have traffic, and you have other cars, and you have people trying to get in your way. So under the finish line, and we've got 139, with a time of 25 seconds, a top speed of 139, which is, that is pretty good. That's putting it towards the top of the sports classics, it really is. So back to the actual car, what do we think? I think it's incredible.
Pfister Astrale – FAST, FUN & BEAUTIFUL – GTA Online A Safe House in the Hills DLC Lap of the map
Now this is not the sort of video I thought I'd be doing as my first video in the new year, but yeah, we need to talk about Hazard. So a few days ago Harmnon released a video where he started talking about Hazard stealing content, and he specifically called out Deadman Down Under who's had some of his content stolen by Hazard. So I was chatting with Deadman Down Under about this, and that's when he pointed out that this guy had been stealing my content as well. And I'm not one for drama, and I always assumed this would happen eventually, and I wasn't sure how I would deal with it. And in a way it's useful that I have been ill, you could probably still hear it in my voice, because it gave me time to think about whether I wanted to respond and what I wanted to do. So what I decided to do is, I have submitted a takedown request, and that seems to have been accepted, so he now has seven days to remove my content from his video, or remove the video altogether. And considering that in that video that I looked at, he's used five clips of my content, and he seems to have stolen content from at least a dozen, possibly more other content creators as well, and that's just in one video. I think it's going to be easier for him to just take the whole thing down and rethink how he prepares his work. Now what I wanted to do is just spend a little bit of time talking about why I've gone down this this road. As I say, I'm not into drama, I never wanted to get involved in YouTube drama or anything like that, but I just think it's important because creating these videos is hard. And just by way of an example, one of the clips that he stole was this, one of the cinematics from the FMJ video. Now these things are quite difficult to do, the Rockstar Editor is not easy to use, and by the way, if you do watch this hazard, there's a guide up here, you know, if you want to learn how to do some of this stuff yourself, go watch this guide, it's really easy to follow. But yeah, the Rockstar Editor is not easy to use, so these cinematics take quite a long time to do, and I'm not even really the best at using the Rockstar Editor. If you want to see some of the best stuff it's capable of, check out Dexty's and Benny's Original Motorsports, the stuff that those guys do makes me look like an amateur. And for him to just decide, you know what, this guy's only got 2000 subscribers, so anything that he puts out there, I can just take that because I can't be bothered to do it myself. That's really not on, I mean, look mate, you've got half a million subscribers. You're doing alright, you're winning at life. So just be respectful for other people's time and effort. Now, would it have been different if he'd have dropped a message saying, hey I really like this clip, do you mind if I use it in my video? Almost certainly yes, almost certainly I would be like, yeah, you know what, you like it, go for it, but don't just help yourself to my sort of time and effort. So anyway, as it stands at the moment, it does seem to have released another video today. As of yet, he's yet to accept that this has even happened, acknowledge it, or issue any sort of apology to the dozens and dozens of content creators that he's been stealing from for God knows how long. But yeah, you look at the video that he's released today, and all of the footage is just his rather creepy ass character just standing facing at the camera. So you can see why he did it, because without stealing content from other people, the background of his videos is pretty boring. But all you need to do mate, it's not a difficult game. Jump in, record the footage, copy it off, edit it yourself. You're doing well enough from this, you can justify putting some of this effort in. Don't expect us, especially not us tiny creators, to subsidise what you're doing. So that's probably all I'm going to say to this for now. But I felt it was important to call it out. As far as I know, Harm None has done it, Deadman has done it, Haki has done it as well. So the more people that call out this kind of stuff, the better really. And I hope none of you think I'm overreacting doing a takedown request. As I say, all he had to do was ask, or give credit. But no, he can't be bothered with any of those. So what I don't want is any hate going in his direction. Please don't feel you need to go and shout at him in his comments section. But you can vote with your feet. You can unsub, you can stop watching his content until he starts creating it yourself. You know, if you want to watch someone, look at people like Deadman, like Harm None, like Tacos. People who create new original content every day in some cases. Give your time and your attention to those people that are putting the effort in, not the people like Hazard who are just scraping the internet for some kind of personal version of Shutterstock that presumably he's just going to call stolen stock. So that's it.
HAZARD Stealing content from large and small creators – PLEASE STOP
First of all I need to apologise for the synthetic voiceover. I am genuinely struggling to speak at the moment, I'm fine, I just can't say more than a few words without coughing a lung up. So I've decided to try this video. This is following on from Digby's 'Getting Clicked' series, which is a really cool series where he tries to do missions on the worst cars in GTA online. I love using the cars in GTA Online, so I figured, I would be able to find a car that wa worse than any car he'd used for this challenge. The WORST car in GTA Online. Then put it to the test, and well, this is the result. Digby's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/DigbyCCeasar And Digby's Clucked videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTXZ0EAaHv0&t=12s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvqtmIVllYc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cffBpDUmskM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekfOPsesCxg&t=457s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJroJOymBtE&t=414s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBIs4ISDX8M&pp=0gcJCU0KAYcqIYzv And BTW the cool as fudge music is the Menu Music from CRSED. I've never been able to find out who actually produced or 'sang', if indeed that is in fact singing, so I can't really credit properly.
Fuster Cluck – The worst cars in GTA ONLINE for missions – The Slamtruck
It's Christmas, we all chilled, some of us or a little drunk, so let's have a look back at how we got here. Thanks so much for watching my silly videos you absolute legends. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and I'll see you in the new year. Merry Christmas everyone and remember to be kind to yourself.
Merry Christmas From GTA and Perengerin, and a quick channel review, because, why not!
More car reviews for you now from GTA Online's latest DLC, a safe house in the hills, and we're back with the Progen Luiva, which is incredible. In my initial reactions list, I put this right at the very top. Now some of the rest of that list has moved round a little bit, but this really hasn't. In fact, the only thing that's changed about this in terms of how I feel about it is that the more I drive it, the more I like it. Every single time I take this thing out, I like it a little bit more. Everything about it, starting with the look, this thing is stunning from every single angle. It's an absolute work of art. I think it's gorgeous, it's easily one of the best looking cars in the game for my taste. And then the sound, I mean, just listen to this. Now, before we get onto the rest of the review for this car, there's a little bit of something I want to go through, and that's the name, so it's based on the McLaren Elva. Yeah, just stunning. And the name for that comes from the French Elva, which means she goes. So if you take the same approach to Luiva, you get Luiva, he goes, but Luiva isn't spelt that way. If you put a space in, you get Luiva, which means he goes to her. Or if you go Luiva, the straight name, you get suits him, which got me all excited because that made me think, maybe this is a reference to two very similar and really cool comedy sketches. So after much deliberation and after considering all the points and counterpoints, I've decided that this name means... Fuck all. And now that I've distracted you with my crackpot theories for a while, let's get back to the actual review of the car and why I like it so much. Well, first of all, this is a record-breaking car. I'm going to spoil the surprise now. This is the fastest non-HSW car around my track by a decent margin as well, actually. Not, you know, it's not like a huge amount, but it's a good, it's a steady margin for a really, really good lap. And it wasn't a particularly clean lap, so I reckon there are quite a few more seconds. I think this could be the first non-HSW car that could actually do a sub-8 minute lap around here. So I might keep trying that. But it's the way it does that lap. This is everything that the Fiesta Xtreme isn't. Apart from looks-wise, because I do actually like the look of the Xtreme. I prefer the look of this, but this does... So sorry, didn't see you there. But this does everything the Xtreme does, but so much better. It sounds good, the handling is fun, it feels lively. In reality, it's not that much faster than the Xtreme, really. It's, you know, it's definitely faster, but it's not a huge amount faster. But this just feels so much more fun. When you're doing it, you actually enjoy driving this. I've got to admit, the Active Aero helps with the pop-up spoiler and the actual airbrake, which is a bit of a McLaren thing anyway, it looks super cool. But as I say, it's not necessarily that the speed difference is that big, but the perception of that speed because of the way you get to drive this thing is just so much better. It makes it so much more fun. You actually want to use this thing. So then we'll have a look at the top speed of this. So if anyone new to the channel, which is quite a few of you recently, so thanks for everyone that's subscribed. If you're not subscribed, now would be a really good time to head over and hit that subscribe button. We're doing really well. It'd be nice to get to 2k before the end of the year. But back to this, this is a straight mile which I run flat out and measure and do a little bit of maths and that gives me an average achievable top speed, which for this car is 128, which for a non-HSW is not bad. So when you throw it all together, you've got a good looking car with good customisation, great handling, a really nice sound. Yes, it's not the cheapest, but it's not disgustingly expensive like some of the ones from this DLC. It has a good top speed and is just all around a lot of fun to live with. So I've got to admit, I go back to my first reactions video. I put this at the top at the time. I said it was only just above the GT 750. Now I do know, I do know I need to go back and do the full review of the GT 760. So 760, 750 I mean. So whether my view on the audio will change when I do that, I don't know. But I doubt it because so far this is actually significantly better than I thought it was when I first drove it. And I already thought it was quite good. It's not like the FMJ. When I first drove the FMJ, I didn't like it. But then when I got used to it, I actually really quite like that now. So the position of that can change. But this, if anything, it's just extended its lead. Because when you actually try and live with it and try and use it. And use it in sessions and use it in missions. I haven't used it in a race yet and I can't wait to do that.
Progen Luiva The fastest non-HSW car in GTA Online – Safe House on in the Hills DLC Lap of the map
It's time for the next full review from the Safehouse in the Hills DLC in GTA Online, and this is for the brand new Vapid FMJ Mk V. Now this is a car that I may have unfairly maligned, and I'm not going to say I'm a row back on this one, but I have had, you know, a bit of a change of heart. Not a lot, but a bit. So what was my problem? Well, to describe the problem, here's Holly from Red Dwarf. And that pretty much sums it up. I'm not complaining about the handling per se, I'm definitely not complaining about the speed, this is definitely a fast car, I'm certainly not complaining about the looks. What bothers me is what I've referred to as a dead zone, but you could probably, it's very, very understeering. So the reaction to steering input is so slow and so delayed that when you combine that with a really fast car, it means that by the time you see a car on the road, there's a good chance it's going to be too late to avoid it. And then the normal turning point for corners does have to change because again, if you turn into a corner as you normally would, you're just going to completely miss it and understeer wide. And if you want to see what that looks like, here are a few practice laps. So yeah, so that's what this thing looks like when you try to control it. And that's why, when I did my initial ranking, I put this fourth out of five, which is not good. Whichever way you look at it, that's not a good ranking. Now I have changed my mind on that a little bit. At the time I said, it may be that this would redeem itself on the track, and it may redeem itself with a little bit of practice. And it was certainly the latter that seemed to help. So how did I solve this? Well, it's not like the Fiesta Xtreme. I didn't need to change the setup. I just needed to learn a little bit more about how the car handles. But unfortunately, what you have to do does sap a little bit of lap time out. So I genuinely think there's a possibility that this could be the fastest car in the game, because it's incredibly quick in a straight line. We'll get around to that in a second. And it has a huge amount of downforce. So through the mid-speed corners, this thing's untouchable. Through the mid-speed corners, or mid to high-speed corners, should I say, this feels like one of the Le Mans cars. You know, it feels like. Even one of the open wheelers, there's that much downforce. It just sticks. But that understeer is so bad, that actually getting a good entry and exit through that corner is incredibly difficult. However, there is a bit of a tip. What I've found that seemed to work with this is, just before you need to turn in, if you just let off, just for a fraction of a second, and I mean let off the accelerator, not, you know, not let off. That's not going to help. But letting off the accelerator, just for a fraction of a second, will. It basically shifts the weight forward, it gives you that tiny bit of grip, and it gives you some grip at the front end, so you actually get a little bit of turning. And doing that, I'm managing to avoid the other cars on the road, and I'm managing to get into the corners better. But this is the real test. This is where I really want to see how this compares. So if you're new to these videos, this is my top speed test. What I do here, I've got a section of road that's exactly one mile long. I time how long it takes me to get down that section of road, do a little bit of maths, and that tells me the average speed that I'm able to maintain in traffic. Not a theoretical speed, an actual practical speed that you can hit too. And this one, 146.9, is not actually bad. However, the Niobe hit 149, and the Banshee GTS hit 165. So, in a straight line, it still isn't the fastest car in the game, but what I will say is it certainly feels like it. Okay, so, what else have we got to say about this car? First of all, it's not cheap. It's not available to anyone outside of GTA Plus at the moment. However, if you do want this car and you know someone that's got it, you can buy it from them at the LS car meet. If you don't know someone that's got it, my PSN is on screen now. Add me as a friend, meet me in a session, I'll sell you this, and any of the other cars that are locked, I've got them all at the moment, so if you want to buy those, or any other deleted cars for that matter, I've got most things, so if you want to buy anything like that, add me as a friend, meet me in a session, we'll do that. However, back to this, even when it does become available, my god, this thing's expensive. It's about three million to buy, and then another million plus for the HSW upgrade, then your individual upgrades. The point, in fact, I bought this one from a friend who had already applied the HSW upgrade and all of his customisations, all I did is I changed some of the customisations and did deliveries how I wanted them, and this cost me to buy 5.3 million dollars.
