The !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! dropped today, and it features two new cars: the Bravado Banshee 900R and Karin Sultan RS Coupe (like the one in GTA IV ). You obtain them by upgrading the regular Banshee and Sultan sedan at Benny’s Original Motor Works.

I’m on the fence about taking my regular Banshee there, as I’m fine with the Viper ACR look that I already gave it. I wish they made rally suspension an option on the Sultan RS, but I’m impressed by the options that it does have: stickerbombing, a million different hoods, wings/spoilers, fenders, bumpers, etc. That’s way more than what you could find in GTA IV . There are also liveries, including the one for a Princess Robot Bubblegum -themed itasha shown in the above pic LOL. I’ll upgrade a regular Sultan there when I get the time and the money (way more than it should cost IMO) to do so.

Oh yeah, there’s also another Adversary Mode.

Yeah but almost 800k to start modifying the Sultan and almost 600k with the Banshee is quite expensive. Also, when I changed sessions my Sultan lost all modification done to the engine bay, the livery and the interior. So fuck it, I did again with cheaper parts and I hope it will stay like that (same thing happened to my absolutely gorgeous Voodoo, and my Primo). Happily, my Banshee kept all the modifications i’ve done. and so did my Chino and Buccanner.

Half a mil for some bloody rivets. No thanks, the lowrider prices are bloody ridiculous as is without adding this nonsense.

Also: The Sultan RS sounds awesome, and It can look very similiar to the Imprenzas Colin McRae used to race, even with a very similar livery (my look like a copy of it before losing every expensive modification)

The Banshee 900R engine bay shows a V8, while the car sounds like a V10 and is based in a V10 powered car.

While both cars are considerated as super cars, and Rockstar themselves said they could give the T20 and Zentorno a run for it’s money, they simply can’t, hell not even a Vacca or a Bullet. The Banshee 900R is actually slower than a standart, but also fully upgraded Banshee

I kinda wanted a more luxurious and HD interior option, like with the lowriders, but you can only get them with a racing interior (undertantable, since both are race cars) but I would like an option.

modifications to the cars are not saving. no matter how many times you try. Rockstar won’t comment on it, but support was rude and hung up on me after confirming the issue. No money returned.

Damn, those upgrades are expensive. I hate that I have to work so hard for money in this game. I only have $600,000 in the bank.

Yeah, making lots of money through legit means is tough to do alone - doing Heists with friends helps, but even that’s a bit too slow.

Any new bikes?

Bikes is where its at in GTA V. On a bike, both ends of the vehicle actually feel connected, unlike nearly all the cars where the front wanders off and rear gets mad and wants to cut to the front of the line. I mean, I get they wanted it to be silly, but seriously, they took it too far.

And don’t even get started on fucking flying...Just Nope.

Nope, no new bikes/motorcyles. I’ve been wanting a motorcycle-centric update, myself.

The Sultan RS is $800k?!?!?

795k to be able to modify it at Benny’s, just to lose most of them when you change sessions. But when you re-do it, it’s a pretty sweet ride (but not 1 million + nice, mind you) If you want a similar car, you are better off with a Kuruma for under 100k, or just a standard, 4 door Sultan upgraded to the max

I guess I'll be sticking to my regular Sultan then. Also is it available in the singleplayer?

What I think is odd is the modifications I did to my Chino and Buccanner stayed, but when I modified my Primo, everything was gone when I played the game again the next day. My Voodoo went for a full week without going for any loss, but when I requested it from my mechanic today it had a different interior, no stereo system in the trunk and the standard engine bay. None of my friends went through this, and after a few months since the Lowrider DLC came, I would expect a fix in the first week, but I’m still suffering this very expensive problem.

If the Sultan loses it’s modification tomorrow I’m going to sell it, but the Voodoo is getting rebuild, I really love what I did to that car (no lowrider tasteless crap, if it wasn’t lowered I would look like a mint, fully original burgundy Impala both on the outside and inside)

redoing the upgrades doesn’t make them save. I tried it but smaller changes just to see, about 5 times i think over the course of the day. Nothing saves as all. You lose the money. The first time i lost nearly 1 million and the 5 other tests just a few thousand but still it sucks. I don’t think they are going to fix it. They jumped at fixing the Halloween update that had similar problems with lost items after purchase but they didn’t do anything with this, not even an aware of situation comment like they did before. I think it’s just a money stealing bug they won’t fix. They want people to keep trying. After my 5 cheap tests I would not recommend upgrading the car or even playing until they fix it. A friend of mine bought an apartment and that didn’t save for him. I heard people losing upgrades on the lowriders so it’s something introduced with the update they need to fix.

That’s terrible from them, you should at least get your money back with a small bonus.

Also, the only reason I kept playing after losing so many cars is because that happened in my secondary account (a friend that plays in the XB360 received 400 mi from a hacker and gave his account to me so I could play in the XBOne). If that happened in my main, hard working account, man I would be pissed, like almost 2 million GTA$ poorer pissed.

Ps: While I received this hacked account, I don’t act like a asshole unlike 97% of the GTAO community and have a ridiculous small kd in both accounts. I just use it for trying out the new stuff in the DLC and see what’s worth buying in my main account (since damn R* stopped releasing on offline for no good reason) and building perfect dream garages that sometimes I can’t afford on my main one

Gotta sell those Shark Cards. It would be good if a big GTA gamer YouTuber like MrBossFTW had this issue so it would be know by a bigger part of the GTAO community and there would be more pressure from them to get it fixed. Also, selling your car and re do it with a another one doesn't fix it either, both my Primos had this problem

This update, the Lowriders update, the Executives update and the heist vehicles aren’t available on single-player. Benny’s isn’t available on single player at all, and for no good reason. You can’t even get chrome wheels in SP.
