Banshee still the fastest car?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.grand-theft-auto (More info?)

I've only been playing GTA:SA a few months since it came out on the Xbox
(and nowhere near as much as I would like!) but last night I nabbed a
Banshee and it seems to me its still the fastest and most drivable car! Is
this true, or is there better around San Andreas?

Fast is easy. There are tonnes of very fast cars in SA.

I find the Bullet (Ford GT) to be as about as fast as I want, and
durable as well. You drop the power, it jumps. It's a great getaway car
too.

Favourite cars are all personal preference. I like the Washington
(Cadillac Seville) as a general 'getting around' car. The Japanese,
English and Italian imports are all too fragile.

I prefer the FCR900 as the bike of choice but it's rare.

the banshee is terrific, always has been. There are a few cars which
seem scarily fast now though, but hard to tell which is fastest. Have
you tried the Turismo or whatever it's called? It's a while since i
drove it but I'm sure you kind of lose sense of reality when flooring
it

IMO The Turismo is fun to fishtail around corners, the Bullet seems a
wee bit faster but far harder to control.

I think it only appears in Las venturas. Looks like a Ferrari f40 or
such, but a bit cheaper :O)

My favourite fast car is the Bullet. It has excellent handling, whereas
the Banshee isn't so good at fast corners. For in-town driving I like
the erm.. Sultan? Whatever the Subaru Imprezza is, have had one painted
up nicely.

I've got a long way to go before I reach Las Venturas, esp given the amount
of time I get to play the game at the moment. But I have had a fleeting
glimpse of it, before being shot down in flames =)

The Banshee is great, and I've always liked the Turismo (based on a Ferarri
F40) and the Cheetah (based on some sort of Ferrari as well). The only
thing I don't like about the mid-engined cars (like the Turismo) is the fact
that when driving in first-person view, you cannot see the engine so you
cannot tell if it is smoking or on fire unless you look in the rear view
mirror. You'll be driving along and BOOM! Wasted.

Nope. It's an early-80's Fox-bodied Lincoln Continental (get it?
Lincoln...Washington?)

http://www.thelincolnarchive.com/1983_lincoln_contiental1.htm

Trivoo: The Mustang from 1979 to 1993 (and the Mercury Capri from 79-86),
including the break-your-neck-fast 5.0 GT's of the late 80's-early 90's were
based on the same Fox platform. The 1994-2004 Mustangs were based on a
modified version of this platform. Some of the performance parts from the
Mustang will bolt right onto these cars, so it's easy to make sleepers out
of these cars, although they are heavier than the Mustang.

Other Fox-platform cars include:
-1978-1983 Ford Fairmont/Mercury Zephyr
-1980-1987 Ford Thunderbird/Merc Cougar
-the "smaller" LTD's in the early-mid 90's (the cop car in Vice City is
based on one of these cars)
-redesigned Ford Granada of early 80's

I wonder what the fastest four-door car in the game is? I'm guessing the
Sultan, but I could be wrong.

Speaking of Lincs, look closely and you'll see the basis for the Remington:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Lincoln_Continental_Town_Coupe.jpg

The headlights are exposed on the Remington, and the rear end is styled
differently, but the overall shape of the car is similar.

didn't someone post (a link to?) a table of car speeds recently?

if i remember correctly, the guy used a stopwatch to time a vehicle
between two points and the infernus came out as the fastest.

hang on a second, a quick search on google came up with this...

------

INFERNUS 1400.0 2725.3 1.5 0.0 0.0 -0.25 70 0.70 0.8 0.50 5
240.0 30.0 10.0 4 P 11.0 0.51 0 30.0 1.2 0.19 0.0 0.25 -0.10 0.5
0.4 0.37 0.72 95000 40002004 C04000 1 1 1

TURISMO 1400.0 3000.0 2.0 0.0 -0.3 -0.2 70 0.75 0.85 0.45 5
240.0 30.0 10.0 4 P 11.0 0.51 0 30.0 1.2 0.13 0.0 0.15 -0.20 0.5
0.4 0.17 0.72 95000 40002004 C08401 1 1 1

They both have same top speed and acceleration. The Turismo has slightly
better handling/grip, but weighs slightly more.. All in all, they're both
equivalent... but I would have to go with Turismo as it's been the
undoubted winner since PS2 release.

It may be a little more fragile though, or maybe its speed makes it
seem so. some of the sports cars seem to fall to bits when you look at
them!

The Banshee is still a great car, but I think the Cheetah, Bullitt or
Super GT are faster.

The Banshee is also still my favourite GTAIII car, I still totally dig
roaring around Portland doing the Taxi Driver missions in it.

That's actually a very rare Lincoln Blackwood. Only 3,356 were produced in
2002, the only year of production. Basically a Ford F150 crew cab with
leather seats and a power tonneau cover.
