Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / August 2006Vice City - Hotring Racer
Is the Hotring Racer that you acquire as part of the Sunshine Auto mini missions one that "reappears" each time you use it and "lose it" by destruction or some other misfortune? Meaning - does it reappear like the Maverick helicopters on the Hyman Condo? Or is it more like the Rhino tank that you park in your garage - once it's destroyed it's gone. The 100% FAQ I am following says to use the Hotring Racer each time during the Vice City Street Races as part of the Sunshine Auto mini missions. But I don't want to use it - and possibly lose it! Thanks!!

I was trying to recall what you meant. The hotring racer which appears in the upper level of the showroom is available always once you have it up there and have saved the game.

I quite like the other bonus car too, looks like an Audi Quattro IIRC.

Just testing. I'd put that down to fast typing and my superiority complex. I'm using an old news client which doesn't like drag-and-drop text being imported from certain other programs.

I seem to recall it was based on the car that Nicholas Cage was scared of in "Gone in 60 seconds" - but that film was pretty much "forgotten in 60 seconds" after I saw it. > > > Do we not get a hand on that faster sabre? > > > > You mean in-game, for keeps? > > > Yeah.

Yep - you get the Sand King and Hotring Racer upstairs (am I the only one who sees the Rockstar-typical double entendre in "Hotring"?) and the Sabre Turbo and Deluxo downstairs (as well as the Sentinel [beemer] that always spawns there). You get them for completing each level of car thefts, not the races or Sunshine missions. > > > > Firstly rob those bella links never work for me, I just get an index. > > > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > "Gone in 60 seconds" - but that film was pretty much "forgotten in 60 > seconds" after I saw it.

That's the Admiral I believe. One of the few cars that hasn't changed changed much over the years. On the same note, can anybody actually tell the difference between a Sentinel and it's XS brother?

Nah, I got it :o) It's been said on here before that Vice City should have been more hilly, but I suppose it wouldn't have really been in keeping with the geography of Miami. > and the Sabre Turbo and Deluxo downstairs (as well as the Sentinel > [beemer] that always spawns there).

I did the last race in a golf cart and made it to the hospital just before the last turn when I was overtaken by the rest of the competitors. The hardest is the first race, round the airport. As with all GTA races, they get easier the more turns they have, as the AI just can't seem to cope with corners... ;o) > > The first time around the races were much much easier using the reward > > cars. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > they get easier the more turns they have, as the AI just can't seem to cope > with corners... Please note the 'The first time around' in the sentence. *I* didn't know those races were easy! For the record, every single one of those races *can* be completed in a golf cart, but expect to try it again, and again, and again, and ag... well you get my drift.

The handling characteristics for the Sabre Turbo and Hillary's Sabre are the same. Changing the entries on the SABRETUR line in handling.cfg affects both vehicles. The line from the original file is: SABRETUR 1800.0 2.1 4.5 2.1 0.0 0.2 0.1 70 1.05 0.84 0.52 5 180.0 32.0 R P 6.1 0.52 0 33.0 1.3 0.10 0.3 0.55 45000 0.30 -0.20 0.5 0.40 3009901 1 1 Any performanace gain is from the game's modleing of the race. > >> > was it the quatro or an older style beemer?

The Deluxo looks a lot like a DeLorean (as seen on _Back to the Future_).

The scimitar that you posted is the GTE, which is the estate version, the one princess Anne used to get knicked in. It has an estate rear end, of sorts.. what's the american words? shooting brake? there are similarities but I still think it is the cavalier, though I was left scratching my head why there would be a cavalier in the game, unless Opel were big in america?
