Favourite vehicles in SA?

[Guest]

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

Airplanes - Shamal or Hydra. Shamal is fine for airport to airport
travel - very quick, like a jetfighter.

Cars - usually the Washington is the car of choice. Bit too slow but
otherwise ok. Denise's Hustler is good if in Grove St. Prefer Bullet as
the main sports car. Elegy is the preferred rice car as I own a Skyline
in real life but it's way too tail-happy (just like real life!)

Helicopters - Leviathan or Raindance. I like the big powerful choppers
w/ wheels, you can be rough and slap them down hard and roll. The skid
helicopters tend to bounce a bit when you slap them down and they don't
have the power. Also the Cargobob handles weird.

Motorcycles - easily the FCR900 but it's rare-ish. The NRG500 is cute
and all but it's a hard to manage.

I like the elegy too but I love bumping into a slamvan. How it can be
worth so little cash when you export it is beyond me. Sandking and
Patriot are probably the two I actually go looking for

The one which can land in water, or the two, I should say as I like
the sparrow too

NRG500 is a good motorbike, but unfortunately it has been hampering my
attempts at unique jumps. It would actually go too far in some cases and
the jump not register. (this is not the case with the jump I reported
problems with).

i'm a porsche enthusiast...so i would have to say my fav. vech in SA would
definitley have to be the Comet - i wish the engine was located in the rear
though, just like in real life 911 models.

I found the whole engine placement thing to be weird. The MR2 Super GT
has a front engine?

And also I found that the engine placement is strange.

If you lose the bonnet, you find your FWD car has a north/south V6???

With a round aircleaner/carburettor?

Vehicle skills are kinda funny...

I have maxxed out motorcycle but I don't remember riding all that much.

Driving skills climb slow.

Bicycle skills climb fast but I like the radio. I don't fly enough to
get good skills there.

Shamal is nice.

The banshee has been my favourite car since GTA3. I will stop and hijack one
on the road if I see it stopped at lights, even if I've only got 2 blocks to
go.

After playing the pilot school missions until I got gold, I've actually
become quite fond of the Hunter. It's finicky as hell, bt vigilante mode is
more fun than a barrel of very fun things indeed.

Same here. FCR900 for wheelies, stoppies and jumps, the NRG500 when you need
to get from Los Santos to San Fierro in 3 minutes.

The Super GT is based on the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4.

Jetpack, Hydra or any of the motorbikes.
Though I have been going through a lot of quadbikes lately.
I rarely drive cars.
