@@BroBusteroh really? Then how about we all see how good you are, by picking up any sports car and trying too beat this shit around a track? We will wait here.
I like how random the top cars usually are. Like, out of all sports cars now the quickest is an EV Renault 5 and in supers it's a lambo with a gun turret strapped on the top.
@@sarasijghosh that made a bit of sense at least, since it's meant to be a cross track dedicated truck, also it could be beat on any track where top speed and acceleration mattered the most.
and to note, it is rwd too. and it gets insane curb boosts, on the city I managed to easily get over 180mph by hitting tiny little bumps, not even actual curbs. it's so fast with boosting that it goes faster than the speedometer allows

It's still crazy how instead of adding HSW to news cars as well as giving older cars the HSW upgrade they deserve to make them relevant again, they only added HSW to new cars (for Drug Wars and San Andreas Mercenaries at least). At least the Criminal Enterprises DLC gave the Stirling GT an HSW upgrade but that was almost a whole year ago and since then, only new cars haven been given the next-gen treatment.
@@pedinhu18 It would if they become the new fastest car in their respective class. Like if they made an HSW upgrade for the F620 to make it the fastest coupe or the Premier to make it the fastest sedan, people would be more willing to buy those older cars and then add a $1m+ HSW upgrade to them.
I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I thought I'd point out that the La Coureuse is available as this month's free car for GTA+ subscribers in the Vinewood Car Club, and the one available to claim in the VCC garage comes with the HSW Upgrade as well as all HSW parts (everything except Mode Level 3; it comes with HSW Basic Mode Upgrade, but engine, suspension, etc is all HSW already). So for a measly $100K to upgrade the Mode to level 3 (and $75K for armor + bulletproof tires), GTA+ members can get their hands on the top sports car. It seems like the service somehow gets even more P2W each and every month.

Personally I feel HSW has ruined basically any class of vehicles that get the treatment. Prior to HSW upgrades, Muscle (well sorta, STX kinda ruined that prior), Sport and Supers were all decently balanced with 3-4 cars on top that were all similar pace, now each class in game is really ruled by 1 car.
I only wish that tuners class never receive HSW. The only class that is actually balanced among the 3 best cars (and even some cars like jester RR and growler can be competitive depending the track)
On Last gen and PC, the muscle class is balanced between the Buffalo STX, Weevil Custom and the Vigero ZX. Current gen needs to have HSW mods for all land vehicles now or racing is just going to be abandoned just like Arena Wars was because of the insane pay-to-win shitshow.
This looks like a really nice addition to Last-Gen/PC Sports class. A bit of additional variety near the top never hurts. Now, for E&E... My condolences to the Sports class.

@@danzo5521 stock suspension, 2nd smallest wing, challenger off-road wheels, full neon under glow and performance mods. Don’t add any pointless body mods like splitters, bumpers, ect.
@@danzo5521 I am aware that not having the lowest suspension may impact its handling, but I think stock suspension is worth as it gives the car a much smoother driving experience when rallying and potentially it’s quicker than having the lowest suspension.
with regards to the acceleration, I think it's easier to think of this and the Buffalo EVX as "normal" cars with no engine sound. Almost none of the characteristics typical of electric car handling data are to be found here. That means no hard-capped top speed, so it's not like other cars could claw back time with kerb-boosting because these new EVs can do that too. I think they should have done it like the Imorgon where you still get that monster acceleration but last time they tried to do another Imorgon we got the Omnis e-GT, which didn't have enough power and didn't have the close ratio gearbox flag so it got to 2nd gear and just _died_
I knew watching DCA seeing how good it stuck to the road that this might have been the next best sports car, I didn't think we'd have a new kind of everything.
Add Imani Tech, and it’s still better than the Imorgon because it can have the ability to take some abuse from stickies to broomstick missiles. Still needs to be tested however.
@@Aquas1998 It doesn't have the armour plating upgrade from Imani tech, like the Monstrociti. It only has RC unit and missile lock-on jammer for Imani tech
When I saw the non-HSW lap time, I knew what was coming. Despite that, I'm still surprised. Absolutely absurd. It's a shame because the top of the Sports class was actually very balanced before.
@@Rohit.Gaikwad R* is currently busy, actively trying to bury their game. What makes you think December is the magic month to deliver the "new gen" update to the only "new gen" platform out there after clowning around for two years lol
With HSW, the La Coureuse is a damn nightmare for the sports class, which justifies its price On old gen and pc tho, what makes it so cool is being the new king of rally cars and quite the convenient car for a bit of freemode PvE thanks to the bullet-resistant windows (a first on an EV Imani Tech car), the great traction and acceleration, and the handling on dirt Definitely one of the things carrying this DLC alongside the Raiju. On PC/last gen at least. On next gen, it's so good that it's horrendous for balance
@NoBody-pw3kf it's all tradeoffs really. The Virtue is faster but harder to drive and is less reliable on the dirt, and it has the bulletproof rear window because...well it doesn't have that window The new french car is a more reliable thing to drive, even moreso on the dirt, and is still quite as fast, tho comparing it to a supercar EV is a bit unfair. I think it has the EV armor bonus, but without armor plating, so it's definitely less reliable against direct hits from explosives which AI doesn't really use too often anyway. It has the bullet resistant windows which provide protection temporarily but in all directions, so the car would be good for mission objectives where you really dont need to slow down or eat bullets too often I'd say it's pretty solid. The Virtue and the French car whose name I don't feel like spelling or pronouncing definitely are reliable but i see why the Virtue is more preferred more generally. I see something good coming out of the La Coureuse tho, for being so fast in its class, on dirt, and being untouchable to rockets for as long as you drive like hell
So this car has the fastest lap time because this car is insane when it comes to bumps. Bumps act like speed boosts and I've manged to hit 173mph (with HSW upgrade) just driving around in the city. Any race that involves a lot of bumps or that takes place in the city this car will be king, possibly the best car for HSW time trials
Shame on those who are spoiling the results of this testing video in Broughy's tweet. Double shame though on R* for yet again breaking the class with this ridiculous car. They continue to disappoint in more ways than one. Great video though, Broughy. Awesome job in providing us this valuable information.
I'm glad I'm still on last gen, because there's no fucking way I could stomach this car being faster than a fucking F1 car. What's going to be next? A EV SUV with HSW mods that beats the Emerus around a track and the HSW Stirling GT in sheer top speed? Without having HSW for ALL land land vehicles, racing balancing is throughly ruined in this game. We need HSW mods for all vehicles now, or else theres not even a point in trying to race with anything else.
Pronunciation of "la coureuse" would be "la coo-ruh-z", which means female runner, it is inspired by the renault r5 3e which looks dope and is a really cool concept.
So the La Coureuse is not only the best sports car with HSW installed, it’s possibly one of the many combative cars in free mode that can take some abuse from explosives. All from a Renault 5, a car from 1980 converted into an electric car.
It's like the Monstrociti; there's no imani tech armor plating upgrade for it so it'll still get destroyed easily, it only has the remote control/lock on jammer.
@@handybobapply the white Fukaru windshield banner on your Penaud and it will have Imani tech armor...And you won't lose the ability to use weapons too.
It's hilarious watching so many people who hated on the La Coureuse just because it's electric when it was datamined cream themselves when they saw its performance
@@random2wins570how are you honestly believing the stat bars in 2023? They've been debunked as nonsense for nearly a _decade_ now. A maxed out bar does not mean upgrades stop doing anything
I wonder why they felt the need to introduce a new brand with Penaud as their version of Renault? They only just introduced Toundra with the previous update (which represented Alpine, a sub-brand of Renault).
Actually, while race bike is faster in terms of normal cycling, BMX's dominate cycle races on most roads because bunny hopping is way faster. Although scorcher wins up Chiliad.
I was going to buy this thing regardless but they made a better driving Issi Sport. Love the Issi Sport and this will make a fine addition to my Rally garage! On PC so even though it isn't the "Best" here I still like it!
It was nice when HSW first came out and made old cars relevant like the Banshee and Sentinel XS, but now it’s just for select new cars. Since R* really pushed the FOMO this DLC, giving HSW to removed vehicles would push for sales on those cars.
This is the best car in the game imo, great handling, it's small, great acceleration, great explosive resistance and good for pvp/freeroam. Also mk2s can't lock on, sadly I'm on pc and don't have access to HSW, that would make it the ultimate car, the fact that it beats open wheel cars in lap times is insane
Go into creator mode, capture, make a random capture, then vehicles, compacts, and check for the Issi Sport. It looks really great but isnt the best at any5hing
Yep, thought it might be like this, but at least as a pc player I don’t need hsw to enjoy this, they have done the Renault 5 electric justice. More dodgy sales tactics though.
The reason why this car is so glued to the road is because its gravity value is 11 compared to the regular value of 9.8. Thus giving the car more traction and "downforce" to handle well.
Kinda checks out tho considering it's inspired by the Group B Renault 5, it may not have a full blown snowplow on the front like audi Quattro for downforce but it's meant to be a high speed off road demon, like everything else in Group B at the time. Too bad they couldn't give it ON road traction loss or something goofy like that
Yay an electric car is now the single most broken car in the game. How exciting! I love not hearing engine sounds and not being able to use a diversity of vehicles in a game about vehicles.
Is this the new king for us old gen peasants? The original Itali GTO is still the one to beat in sports right? I’d love a non HSW side by side with current best, before talking about the HSW side of things in future vids, to avoid confusion. Great speedy video as always though Broughy, much appreciated 👍🏼
@@broughy1322thanks man, I’ll pick this one up then just to mix things up a bit. I’ll just squint at my monitor and pretend it’s an original GT Turbo and make engine noises. Vroom vroom!!! …I kinda wish HSW wasn’t a thing or at least implemented better. I mean, balancing older vehicles to be competitive is great but completely destroying a class like this is absolutely ridiculous. It’s so boring when everyone’s in the same car. Yet another awful decision by Rockstar imho.
Hey bro, I use your lap times to breakdown vehicles by class in GTA online on Xbox One, since we don’t have HSW it makes it easier. I have all the cars broken into 4 Tiers, and have only made 3 tracks. since you can’t change weather conditions or my “Tiers” I actually have made 24 playable tracks, ones with snow and w/out. Very difficult to get their popularity up, but I’d be honored if you were to test one of them lol
I know this is gonna sound like a lie, but you can do the mid drive speed boost with the hsw upgrade to this car. Even though it's electric. I found out yesterday when I bought it. Try it out!
This car was the only dripfeed car I wanted, because of the look. But I did not want a ruined class again. I feel bad for playing GTA online, as I give time to a company with only disdain for us, and milk us like cows.
Didn't know this had HSW - saw it had HSW in these comments at the point where it's normal versions laptime was on screen - legit started laughing at the 56 secs Jesus fcking christ man
Wearing headphones, I noticed that the split screens in this video have split channel audio (left car in left ear, right car in right ear). This pleases me.
I just bought the car today and I was pleasantly surprised with how good this car corners, I had a feeling this car was gonna be horrible to drive (considering it's based of the Renault 5 Turbo 3E so I knew it was electric) with crappy handling but I was wrong lol. I really like this car although I don't get to experience the HSW version because I'm on PS4 so what would the position of this car be for PS4 without the HSW sports cars?
This is just crazy, I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry at this. I still haven’t loaded into GTA Online since the release of this terrible „update“ and I haven’t looked back. This also won’t make me change my mind xD I just feel sorry for everyone who grinded for the Itali GTO Stinger TT…

@@skipsteroo8065that's the most 🤓 comment I've seen I'm ngl
with regards to the acceleration, I think it's easier to think of this and the Buffalo EVX as "normal" cars with no engine sound. Almost none of the characteristics typical of electric car handling data are to be found here. That means no hard-capped top speed, so it's not like other cars could claw back time with kerb-boosting because these new EVs can do that too.
I think they should have done it like the Imorgon where you still get that monster acceleration but last time they tried to do another Imorgon we got the Omnis e-GT, which didn't have enough power and didn't have the close ratio gearbox flag so it got to 2nd gear and just _died_
Thank you for all the time and effort you put into making these videos for us. I appreciate it.👍🏻👍🏻
I'm not expecting any balance in GTA 6.
It will be the biggest bit of chaos ever created by humanity.
I knew watching DCA seeing how good it stuck to the road that this might have been the next best sports car, I didn't think we'd have a new kind of everything.
I love how this update quite literally enhanced old gen LMAO
So, basically, without HSW it's Imorgon Mk II.
Add Imani Tech, and it’s still better than the Imorgon because it can have the ability to take some abuse from stickies to broomstick missiles. Still needs to be tested however.
@@Aquas1998 It doesn't have the armour plating upgrade from Imani tech, like the Monstrociti. It only has RC unit and missile lock-on jammer for Imani tech
@@sarasijghosh There is an option that gives the armor like the monstrociti lol, so there is armor
Ok we need the itali rsx spoiler fix now
I don't regularly play gta online anymore, but still enjoy watching your comparison videos. Keep up the good work!
When I saw the non-HSW lap time, I knew what was coming. Despite that, I'm still surprised. Absolutely absurd. It's a shame because the top of the Sports class was actually very balanced before.
Ngl I wasn't paying attention and I thought that was the hsw lap time. I was like not bad then the hsw lap time showed up.
Aaaaand theres the signature game-breaking car for every update to keep the racing community happy. Christ, Rockstars so predictable.
Thx Broughy for the good work. I wonder if HSW will ever come to PC, it's been a while now. What do you think?
I already thought it would've been out on PC now so my opinion is meaningless.
Wait for Server Updates. December is the only option
@@Rohit.Gaikwad R* is currently busy, actively trying to bury their game.
What makes you think December is the magic month to deliver the "new gen" update to the only "new gen" platform out there after clowning around for two years lol
Holy shit. That's an insane lap game for the LA Coureuse. Insanely dominant.
The F620 is the only car you need
The La Coureuse must be a handling beast…
With HSW, the La Coureuse is a damn nightmare for the sports class, which justifies its price
On old gen and pc tho, what makes it so cool is being the new king of rally cars and quite the convenient car for a bit of freemode PvE thanks to the bullet-resistant windows (a first on an EV Imani Tech car), the great traction and acceleration, and the handling on dirt
Definitely one of the things carrying this DLC alongside the Raiju. On PC/last gen at least. On next gen, it's so good that it's horrendous for balance
Isn't the Virtue the first Imani EV?
@@zapalexa the Omnis egt actually
@NoBody-pw3kf it's all tradeoffs really. The Virtue is faster but harder to drive and is less reliable on the dirt, and it has the bulletproof rear window because...well it doesn't have that window
The new french car is a more reliable thing to drive, even moreso on the dirt, and is still quite as fast, tho comparing it to a supercar EV is a bit unfair. I think it has the EV armor bonus, but without armor plating, so it's definitely less reliable against direct hits from explosives which AI doesn't really use too often anyway. It has the bullet resistant windows which provide protection temporarily but in all directions, so the car would be good for mission objectives where you really dont need to slow down or eat bullets too often
I'd say it's pretty solid. The Virtue and the French car whose name I don't feel like spelling or pronouncing definitely are reliable but i see why the Virtue is more preferred more generally. I see something good coming out of the La Coureuse tho, for being so fast in its class, on dirt, and being untouchable to rockets for as long as you drive like hell
The fact that the Inductor is slower than the Race Bike is so funny to me XDDDDD
La Coureuse is a missed chance of adding a baguette racing livery
Thanks Broughy on the money as usual with the info 👍😎
So this car has the fastest lap time because this car is insane when it comes to bumps. Bumps act like speed boosts and I've manged to hit 173mph (with HSW upgrade) just driving around in the city. Any race that involves a lot of bumps or that takes place in the city this car will be king, possibly the best car for HSW time trials
Shame on those who are spoiling the results of this testing video in Broughy's tweet. Double shame though on R* for yet again breaking the class with this ridiculous car. They continue to disappoint in more ways than one.
Great video though, Broughy. Awesome job in providing us this valuable information.
Why shame ? I love buying these cars because they are AMAZING.Sorry,Things eventually get outdated and outdone.
I'm glad I'm still on last gen, because there's no fucking way I could stomach this car being faster than a fucking F1 car.
What's going to be next? A EV SUV with HSW mods that beats the Emerus around a track and the HSW Stirling GT in sheer top speed?
Without having HSW for ALL land land vehicles, racing balancing is throughly ruined in this game.
We need HSW mods for all vehicles now, or else theres not even a point in trying to race with anything else.
Pronunciation of "la coureuse" would be "la coo-ruh-z", which means female runner, it is inspired by the renault r5 3e which looks dope and is a really cool concept.
This is absolutely disgusting. Thank you for showing us, Broughy.
So the La Coureuse is not only the best sports car with HSW installed, it’s possibly one of the many combative cars in free mode that can take some abuse from explosives. All from a Renault 5, a car from 1980 converted into an electric car.
It's like the Monstrociti; there's no imani tech armor plating upgrade for it so it'll still get destroyed easily, it only has the remote control/lock on jammer.
@@handybobone of the interior upgrades for the monstrociti gives it good armor, wonder if the roll cage options does the same for the la coureyse
@@TheShadyElf Which interior option and how many missiles can it tank before it's destroyed?
@@handybobapply the white Fukaru windshield banner on your Penaud and it will have Imani tech armor...And you won't lose the ability to use weapons too.
@@pedinhu18 Tested how many missiles it can tank?
I’ve recently returned to the game after a few years out, it’s crazy how most my cars for racing are completely outclassed now!
I upgraded from Buffalo STX, i am loving the handling in the city, it is crazy!
It's hilarious watching so many people who hated on the La Coureuse just because it's electric when it was datamined cream themselves when they saw its performance
PSA you can remove the spoiler with a glitch
🐐
Thank you, Imma make a rally inspired car now with this
you will be slower around a lap if you do that though, since you'll lose the spoiler bonus
@@Johnny362000nope the traction bar is maxed it doesn’t even need a spoiler
@@random2wins570how are you honestly believing the stat bars in 2023? They've been debunked as nonsense for nearly a _decade_ now. A maxed out bar does not mean upgrades stop doing anything
Mid gen is so much more balanced without hsw, kinda glad I'm still on it
I wonder why they felt the need to introduce a new brand with Penaud as their version of Renault? They only just introduced Toundra with the previous update (which represented Alpine, a sub-brand of Renault).
laziness, they can"t be arsed to look up their own old stuff
Probably laying down the groundwork for more cars of these makes on GTA VI.
Don’t worry with it being to OP. In eight years R* will remove it
More like 8 weeks lol
Actually, while race bike is faster in terms of normal cycling, BMX's dominate cycle races on most roads because bunny hopping is way faster.
Although scorcher wins up Chiliad.
I haven't watched one of these in ages and that bad boy is fast as hell
1st time i am happy that i play on PC where HSW isn't a thing.
Ps4 last gen here, ....same
It's the best handling hsw I have driven with hsw defo
I couldn't listen to anything about the bike... Was too distracted by the wiggling butt! :D
I was going to buy this thing regardless but they made a better driving Issi Sport. Love the Issi Sport and this will make a fine addition to my Rally garage! On PC so even though it isn't the "Best" here I still like it!
a "fastest car on a budget" list would be fun... cars under 200k that could still be viable in races
crazy they keep breaking their classes. at least open wheel and hotring races are 3x this week!
It was nice when HSW first came out and made old cars relevant like the Banshee and Sentinel XS, but now it’s just for select new cars. Since R* really pushed the FOMO this DLC, giving HSW to removed vehicles would push for sales on those cars.
This is the best car in the game imo, great handling, it's small, great acceleration, great explosive resistance and good for pvp/freeroam. Also mk2s can't lock on, sadly I'm on pc and don't have access to HSW, that would make it the ultimate car, the fact that it beats open wheel cars in lap times is insane
*La CouReuse Handing Is Issi Sport Type,Wonderful*
This is basically the McMurtry Speirling of gta
1:52 the Issi Sport? What's that? Never seen that car in the in-game shops before... :^)
Go into creator mode, capture, make a random capture, then vehicles, compacts, and check for the Issi Sport. It looks really great but isnt the best at any5hing
@@sinnombre__ ah so its a Compact, not a Sports car? ;)
(it was a joke about it being delisted)
Yep, thought it might be like this, but at least as a pc player I don’t need hsw to enjoy this, they have done the Renault 5 electric justice. More dodgy sales tactics though.
Holy shit, I was not expecting that time out of the Penaud
The reason why this car is so glued to the road is because its gravity value is 11 compared to the regular value of 9.8. Thus giving the car more traction and "downforce" to handle well.
Kinda checks out tho considering it's inspired by the Group B Renault 5, it may not have a full blown snowplow on the front like audi Quattro for downforce but it's meant to be a high speed off road demon, like everything else in Group B at the time. Too bad they couldn't give it ON road traction loss or something goofy like that
that's a ton of cars with that 20% gravity buff. That alone doesn't make a car grippy
Cant wait to go to see the doctor from severe tinnitus next week just from driving that car in a game ☺️
I need to buy this on PC. You never know when HSW might kick in, and before pebble-sun deletes it on fomo.
That just makes me feel good to be on ps4 tbh
Oh yes because gto is such a nice car to drive right?
Last gen is so much more balanced not having hsw, actually glad I'm still on it
glorious french suspension at work
I knew the second I saw the new car today, I thought wouldn't this make a nice ev rally car
Yeah i bought the la coureuse yesterday and i already noticed it was discustingly quick/dreamhandling
Oh, you all ready put it up! 0:46
Something about seeing him peddle made me laugh so hard.
Yay an electric car is now the single most broken car in the game. How exciting! I love not hearing engine sounds and not being able to use a diversity of vehicles in a game about vehicles.
Is this the new king for us old gen peasants? The original Itali GTO is still the one to beat in sports right? I’d love a non HSW side by side with current best, before talking about the HSW side of things in future vids, to avoid confusion. Great speedy video as always though Broughy, much appreciated 👍🏼
Yes the regular GTO is still the best on old gen.
@@broughy1322thanks man, I’ll pick this one up then just to mix things up a bit. I’ll just squint at my monitor and pretend it’s an original GT Turbo and make engine noises. Vroom vroom!!! …I kinda wish HSW wasn’t a thing or at least implemented better. I mean, balancing older vehicles to be competitive is great but completely destroying a class like this is absolutely ridiculous. It’s so boring when everyone’s in the same car. Yet another awful decision by Rockstar imho.
Hey bro, I use your lap times to breakdown vehicles by class in GTA online on Xbox One, since we don’t have HSW it makes it easier. I have all the cars broken into 4 Tiers, and have only made 3 tracks. since you can’t change weather conditions or my “Tiers” I actually have made 24 playable tracks, ones with snow and w/out. Very difficult to get their popularity up, but I’d be honored if you were to test one of them lol
If they add the IRL mcMurtry Speirling, get ready for everything else to be obsolete.
Is hsw avaiIabIe on pc? I'm a bit Iost with aII these upgrades on different pIatforms
Nope
Holy CRAP that's fast!
Honestly, I like all the cars getting faster and better and better. Screw the slow old cars, we're getting to NFS speeds and I love it. More speeeeeed
I know this is gonna sound like a lie, but you can do the mid drive speed boost with the hsw upgrade to this car. Even though it's electric. I found out yesterday when I bought it. Try it out!
you don't need the hsw upgrade for it
Remember HSW is only on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S Not on PS4, Xbox One or PC.
So, basically the La Coureuse is Max Verstappen?
Copy, we're checking.
They teased us with images of an R5 Turbo and gave us the electric version they are just trolling us now
this is far cooler than a Renault 5 Turbo
@@Johnny362000 👍 .... 🤮
This car was the only dripfeed car I wanted, because of the look. But I did not want a ruined class again. I feel bad for playing GTA online, as I give time to a company with only disdain for us, and milk us like cows.
Didn't know this had HSW - saw it had HSW in these comments at the point where it's normal versions laptime was on screen - legit started laughing at the 56 secs
Jesus fcking christ man
Wearing headphones, I noticed that the split screens in this video have split channel audio (left car in left ear, right car in right ear). This pleases me.
Been that way since I started doing these comparisons in like 2017 :D
@@broughy1322 Guess that means I really don’t use headphones much. Nice attention to detail though, sir.
Rockstar making shit-headed decisions? what a shock oh my god
I just bought the car today and I was pleasantly surprised with how good this car corners, I had a feeling this car was gonna be horrible to drive (considering it's based of the Renault 5 Turbo 3E so I knew it was electric) with crappy handling but I was wrong lol. I really like this car although I don't get to experience the HSW version because I'm on PS4 so what would the position of this car be for PS4 without the HSW sports cars?
Kinda fun to see all these class breaking cars but i don't have to log in or spend anything because on PC there's not much change.
When will be available also for pc? I hate the fact that we don't have the next gen content on pc
when rockstar decides to get rid of console exclusivity for E&E-related content
This is just crazy, I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry at this. I still haven’t loaded into GTA Online since the release of this terrible „update“ and I haven’t looked back. This also won’t make me change my mind xD
I just feel sorry for everyone who grinded for the Itali GTO Stinger TT…
oookaaaaay i didnt expect that
can't believe I say that, but thank god PC doesn't have HSW cars. I don't race much anymore anyway but this is just ridicilious
It’s in the wrong class at this point
I can't stop driving the new la coureuse, it's handling is just to fun for me right
