The three acquaintances are drawn into Los Santos' criminal underworld "in the pursuit of the almighty American dollar

"Carbonizzarre"
Was going to go for that before but it's a sports car not a super car

In my case I need a sports car, got the Vacca for a super car which is very good fully modded, slightly lacking in top speed but has great handling.

Race payouts have gone to pot so now I will remain skint. And there are people driving round free mode in facking tanks who are untouchable whilst I'm still driving old bangers.

What really bugs me about racing is to win a race you need a souped up car but to soup up your car you need to win races which are impossible to win as someone always has a rocket.
If you win races on super it unlocks the upgrades or all types of car. Anyone fancy taking turns winning raves later? On xbox

Best way is to host your own, and set custom vehicles to off. That way it's a fairer contest.

Or go on a track called Criminal records which is a lottery a lot of the time as it's just an oval track.

Didn't think of that! I have a pretty much standard Vacca (has whatever I have unlocked) but it's useless in a race.
Seriously sickened they didn't release the heist function (rumours of a casino heist) for online. Thought it would be in the beachbum dlc

Vacca is too slow, Entity is the fastest super car but I can't afford it.
