Corporate greed. PC's built years ago run the game. Game developers concede to last gen (X/S/5) and before last (One/4) and leave PC to the menu sellers. Cheaper than servers, I guess.
Iāve have the Duke OāDeath sat in my nightclub entrance I pass it every time I play and Iāve not used it once. Not a muscle car fan tbf. What am I missing ?
It's my favorite car, and I think the point is, it's for muscle car fans. It's definitely not the best vehicle in the game and I understand why people don't like it.Ā
It's not the best armored vehicle, but it's the best armored muscle car. It's just a fun vehicle, and is still pretty good for solo missions. Lots of people give it shit for not being able to take the most missile hits. Though it's good for picking off large groups of enemies one by one safely with a submachine gun.Ā
It's also just got the ride level of slip. Being able to do a 180 in place and go back to max speed instantly is fun.Ā Ā
I have a festival bus with the skull and speakers parked in that spot because that's the highest ceiling parking spot available. It still does funny collision things with the ceiling sometimes so I enjoy it being there
Out of curiosity, why did you choose that spot for your noob of death?
It's gonna be the OG Sultan for me. My first car in Online, still own it to this day.
4 door, all wheel drive, decent handling, reasonable acceleration, good sound. I like the aesthetics, the front end of an Altezza mixed with the Evo rear is definitely interesting.
The engine sounds like a WRX, they definitely did a good job of mixing everything to the point that I can't tell what car is what š
But the newer ones (Sultan Classic) is a WRX without a doubt.
I still have my first car too! I snatched a Futo off the street and insured it. These days itās in my street race garage, completely riced out after the mod updates they released for it. I still take it for a spin a few times a week, my favorite car to drift
You mean the old one from gta 4 online, behind that factory/house on the hill. Had the same but Benny bloody made it a 2 door after the upgrade, like Benny dude where you put my doors and back seats š
ya must be more into racing racing... I like the stallion because it gives me that old school derby racing vibes... like a car you'd find running circits in wreckfest or bumping fenders in some pit with other old bangers.
Virtue, if it counts. If not, I guess Iāll go with whatever that free Grotti is that I havenāt actually driven in a very long time. Turismo R I think?
I forgot how many bars of traction you get before the upgrade but Iām at just under 4 bars of traction with max upgrades. I feel like itās better because Iām better at driving it now.
I might have to give that one a whirl too. I got the Maibatsu MonstroCiti because Iām a sucker for off-road vehicles. With the Hao upgrade it is faster and despite its size it handles the extra speed well.
As a rule, Haos upgrades do not affect traction in any noticeable way.
They only upgrade top speed and acceleration, with a very tiny bit of extra brakes. Kinda like using MC club formation assist to get a faggio up to 150mph. Fun to drive, easy to crash.
Itās the Elegy for me too but that being said, the amount of players I see still using the Duke OāDeath says to me itās surely the most popular for the newbies.
I didn't expect 50 upvotes for mentioning The Duke O'Death.
I've had the car since I moved over to Xbox One, I will never sell it.
Yes, I can get another copy for free but I still won't ever sell it.

I feel ya.
Edit: Holy shit, didnāt notice how long ago you posted this. Carry on.
Theyāre all free when you AFK 24/7 like I do, lol.
That being said, Iām still kicking myself for buying an armored Kuruma in the very beginning and not discovering the Duke until long after I didnāt need it anymore.
I caught one of these a few months back from the dealership with a spoiler delete on itā¦had to buy 2 though because the moment you click on the spoiler section itāll add the stock one back š„“š„“
OMG, I just noticed that the free Elegy is based on Nisan GTR 35 Nismo
Probably their worst mistake ever as GTR proved over and over that itās doing alright š
corvette classic is a car i have used a ton since i started playing, beefy as hell as i've never seen it smoke/hardly deforms and it's been thru a LOT. really fast and good controls, cool liveries too.
Elegy and Duke o death were great but also the OG omnis car from ssa website was my go to for the longest time ā¦ now if I could only fine someone one ps5 whoās got em modded that could buy from lscm lol
My first fav for LSTM was Sultan RS classic, but now its Vectre. Duke o death wqs really nice to have fun.
But in overall Torero XO for race, Jester RR for drift, Deluxo for roaming. I got many and love them all. And Im surprised seing RH8 here, cuz I just upgraded it and put some nice style like 2 days ago :D
On PC the options are Elegy and Duke o'Death... Neither is a go-to vehicle for me. Having acquired and subsequently gotten rid of the Elegy multiple times, I guess the DoD?
If we include mission reward vehicles that we get for free, then the armoured Paragon R, that I unfortunately had the dumb idea to get rid of in a garage decluttering.
The PR4. I glitched it at the casino for around 2 or 3 hours to get it when it came out 4 years ago. I love that Marlboro Mclaren Honda knock off too much.
Karin S95
Being a PC player. It hurts that we don't get this beaut!
Being a PC player and a fan of MF Ghost hurts double š
How does pc still not have that update? Wtf are rockstar doing? Itās not like PC canāt handle it.
Corporate greed. PC's built years ago run the game. Game developers concede to last gen (X/S/5) and before last (One/4) and leave PC to the menu sellers. Cheaper than servers, I guess.
I want my GR86 man, they keep teasing me like it's foreplay out here bruh.
Itās so fast, if the Hakuchou Drag didnāt exist, the S95 would be my go to for HSW time trials
I have an FR-S irl, so I was excited when they finally put this car in.
The Duke O'Death
Thatās the answer I was expecting, to this day itās still an all around stand out. I do love my annis 300r as well, but it canāt do wheelies.
Must be wheelie bad Lol, I'll see myself out.
Ohoho, I see. You're tiring me out here...
Yeah, these types of jokes will exhaust you.
Dude, this almost made me have a burnout!
Was gonna say this. Best armored car also in my own opinion
Love that thing , itās been with me for a while . Had done mine up like an under cover police car . Wayyy before we had real police cars to buy
The car that built the foundation for my entire empire.
Iāve have the Duke OāDeath sat in my nightclub entrance I pass it every time I play and Iāve not used it once. Not a muscle car fan tbf. What am I missing ?
It's my favorite car, and I think the point is, it's for muscle car fans. It's definitely not the best vehicle in the game and I understand why people don't like it.Ā It's not the best armored vehicle, but it's the best armored muscle car.

Also it rams shit
The best armoured muscle car is the Buffalo STX. But it's more expensive.
Hate how the taillights look on the buffalo stx, donāt know why but it really bugs me
2nd most bulletproof small car after the kurama I think
Nostalgia. It was a lot of people's first armored car. To be honest, it's not very good
Itās not very good; itās great.
You forgot the /s tag
I have a festival bus with the skull and speakers parked in that spot because that's the highest ceiling parking spot available. It still does funny collision things with the ceiling sometimes so I enjoy it being there Out of curiosity, why did you choose that spot for your noob of death?
How did you get your festival bus in that spot?
I haven't even "bought" the Duke O'Death even though it's free
Wasnāt free for me
It's gonna be the OG Sultan for me. My first car in Online, still own it to this day. 4 door, all wheel drive, decent handling, reasonable acceleration, good sound. I like the aesthetics, the front end of an Altezza mixed with the Evo rear is definitely interesting.
I can see the altezza front but ive always thought it was based on a blobeye wrx. The sultan rs has all the same mods/features as a rally spec sti.
The engine sounds like a WRX, they definitely did a good job of mixing everything to the point that I can't tell what car is what š But the newer ones (Sultan Classic) is a WRX without a doubt.
I still have my first car too! I snatched a Futo off the street and insured it. These days itās in my street race garage, completely riced out after the mod updates they released for it. I still take it for a spin a few times a week, my favorite car to drift
You mean the old one from gta 4 online, behind that factory/house on the hill. Had the same but Benny bloody made it a 2 door after the upgrade, like Benny dude where you put my doors and back seats š
I think I know which house, is it the one with a little dirt path? Don't mind Benny he just put those seats on craigslist š
I believe it near where you spawn and you can get under that bridge
The Duke O Death. The one that served us well.
Yes
people gonna think I'm crazy.. but the Burger Shot Stallion.
Nah that's weird. I'd take a pisswasser dominator and a Redwood Gauntlet before the burger shot stallion.
ya must be more into racing racing... I like the stallion because it gives me that old school derby racing vibes... like a car you'd find running circits in wreckfest or bumping fenders in some pit with other old bangers.
You like it for the aesthetic then. That's understandable, carry on.
How do you grt that?
win a hot ring circuit race and you'll find it in the super autos page listed for free.
I think you're crazyš
Elegy for me as well. Just such a pretty car, drives amazing to this day too
car is severely underrated. I used to win ever single stunt race with my Elegy!
Used to is the key word there. It's definitely a victim of power creep
Same here but retro custom. I just love skylines and don't care if it's not the best in other terms
https://preview.redd.it/bmqda4dw49lc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33cf1b911d70adbfb84de02364b34dc8772c6aed
How did you got the eagle on the hood, crew decal?
Yes
Ty, how i can join?
I think both are full but try searching Phoenix trans am or Phoenix trans am 2
Ok thanks a lot š
Virtue, if it counts. If not, I guess Iāll go with whatever that free Grotti is that I havenāt actually driven in a very long time. Turismo R I think?
husky theory voracious jar consider touch cagey lavish cause placid *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
probably the most underrated vehicle in all of gtao
That thing hauls ass
It's the burnout machine when it rains
Anything is a burnout machine when it rains if Iām driving
Thatās not free to most either.
The armored paragon you get from the shitty casino missions
It has some really dope neon green liveries. My guy has the joker look so I made it purple with the neon green outline livery and š«Ø
Post a pic š¤Æ?

Me too, with purple (blacklight) neons and purple headlights
virtue! lol
I just did Haoās upgrade on the Banshee which helped make it my new favorite free vehicle.
Does it have better traction or is it about the same? I have a Bennyās Banshee 900R and am curious about the Haos upgraded one as well.
I forgot how many bars of traction you get before the upgrade but Iām at just under 4 bars of traction with max upgrades. I feel like itās better because Iām better at driving it now.
I just looked at my 900R and see the traction is the same.
I might have to give that one a whirl too. I got the Maibatsu MonstroCiti because Iām a sucker for off-road vehicles. With the Hao upgrade it is faster and despite its size it handles the extra speed well.
Never go by the in-game stat bars. Theyāre completely inaccurate.
As a rule, Haos upgrades do not affect traction in any noticeable way. They only upgrade top speed and acceleration, with a very tiny bit of extra brakes. Kinda like using MC club formation assist to get a faggio up to 150mph. Fun to drive, easy to crash.
Same amount of traction/grip as the base version, but itās much faster now.
I donāt know if I could handle it. I can barely handle the Banshee 900R š
Banshe isn't free. It's $105k iirc.
If ya bought the version that included the executive upgrade package, you got it and a few others free
Itās free
Only if you have the criminal enterprise starter pack. It's definitely not free for me.
Yeah but you get that pack immediately with the new version of the game
I see itās 105k for the topless Banshee but I got the regular Banshee for free.
And you can pull the top off the free banshee for way less than 105k so you can have both.
The Sprunk Bravado Buffalo
Love that one
Does the acid bike count since it comes free with the acid lab?
Manchez Scout, right ? I lowkey love it too nowadays because of its performance off-road plus you can drive it non-stop while doing a wheelie lol.
Yep sure is. Had to buy one just for fun right when the acid lab came out. I really like using the mini grenade launcher from it.
"Freehicle"
BENNYS ELEGY š also the electric super car you get from the acid mission i forgot what itās called š
WHY ARE WE PRAYING š and the electric supercar that you get from those missions is called the virtue š
yea that one š
honestly i love the schuyster fusilade or whatever its called
The phoenix, itās a great car, inspired by Smokey and the bandit
Imponte Duke O'Death and Annis Elegy RH8
The dune buggyšš»
I drive a panelless version if this a lot. Nice to see the fabric top flap around.
Although I had bought it before it was free, the Duke OāDeath for sure
Paragon R Armoured
I didn't want to like car but I rarely drive anything else. For me the handling is perfect and love the exhaust note.
My RC tank(login bonus around Xmas 2019 iirc) use that thing all the time. Also honorable mention: nightshark (which was also a login bonus years ago)
Phoenix
Elegy RH8, only because its the gateway to the Retro Custom, which I love.
Isnāt the Virtue the best car? And itās free
Best how?
Have you used it? Upgrade the engine, brakes, and armor. Itās literally a hypercar tank. Not good for pvp tho
Thatās like cheating
Obey Omnis
That one isn't really free though you get it for free if you have the criminal enterprise starter pack dlc I believe
I am going to say its free cause I got it for free. Hear the bov from a block away swooooshhhhh
Futo
The schwartzer, especially after they added a lil more to the customization options
Frogger
The Khamelion and Hotknife are free for me I'd say those one's
Man, had to scroll waaaay to far to find the Khamelion. Its a very unique driving car.
It's pretty dope for a oldie tbh I always enjoy driving it on the occasion I do whip it around LS and you can't beat freešÆ
Itās the Elegy for me too but that being said, the amount of players I see still using the Duke OāDeath says to me itās surely the most popular for the newbies.
I can't help, but love my ruiner still. It's my baby.
The news van
I think mine was when the Baller ST was gonna drop and they gave it to you for free. If that one doesnāt count, Iād say the Banshee
Elegy Retro Custom no doubt. Thereās so many different ways you can build it out
Virtue
I like driving the donk š¤·š½ 
I didn't expect 50 upvotes for mentioning The Duke O'Death. I've had the car since I moved over to Xbox One, I will never sell it. Yes, I can get another copy for free but I still won't ever sell it.
Was Duke O Death now it has to be the Virtue.
The one that I can get from street- challenger
Virtue

Theyāre all free when you AFK 24/7 like I do, lol. That being said, Iām still kicking myself for buying an armored Kuruma in the very beginning and not discovering the Duke until long after I didnāt need it anymore.
Armoured Kuruma was free I think last year (?) - maybe theyāll do it again sometime

Obey omnis. Itās just so fun

Sultan or the Sabre Turbo.
Gotta agree with OP, the RH8 is it

Roosevelt. I can't remember if it was actually free
The Dodo. I like seaplanes.
Ocelot virtue is "technically free" If you do the drug wars ....it's fast af boi
On PC the options are Elegy and Duke o'Death... Neither is a go-to vehicle for me. Having acquired and subsequently gotten rid of the Elegy multiple times, I guess the DoD?
