Let me know your opinions on the two cars. Sorry about the sound on the Massacro clip, I forgot to turn off the radio and don't want to risk any copyright infringements.

Elegy still just pips the Massacro imo, purely for the handling, but I think it comes in as a very close 2nd

Elegy is still the fastest sport car, but on a straight line massacro wins; it depends on the track, but i think is useful to own both oh and btw im talking about personal experience, ive just raced a couple of times against the massacro

There is this video as well that compares lap times of the elegy against the Massacro with the same conclusion. From 1:50 if you want to skip to it

I love your videos, Reign. Thanks for posting. The corner at 00:40 on the first video is just lovely. I was enthusiastic about the Massacro when it had just been released, but the awful cornering is just too much of a turn-off. It just won't turn. :/ I have very little experience with the Elegy so I can't really compare, but I'm pretty sure its superior turning makes it the better option, even if its top speed is slightly lower than the Massacro.

I think of my Elegy as a race car, pure and simple. I hardly ever drive it outside of races. Most of my regular drivers are for looks or fun. The Entity gets a similar treatment, although I will drive that around once in a while since it drives like it's on rails. I'm glad the Zentorno is equal to the Entity. That class was so boring with only two cars being seen in every race.

Same goes here. I was racing last night and the massacro would start creeping up on straight stretches. But as soon as the track become technical my Elegy seemed to outshine the massacro. I still think the Elegy is the best in class. But the massacro in the right hands could be dangerous.

i think im gonna start using the massacro over the elegy simply because driving it doesnt feel like a damn chore. it's ride is beautifully comfortable and its weight makes it feel solid and planted which i also like. ontop of its slightly higher speed stat i think that once i get used to it ill only need the elegy for time trials

I tried out the Massacro a fair bit last night and was very impressed. It does feel very solid, stable and planted, and from my perspective drives very much like an Exemplar. You're able to throw it into just about any bend and the danger won't be spinning out but instead failing to make the turn due to understeer. The solution to this, I find, is to ensure that you really accelerate into sharp turns, as this dramatically increases the car's grip and ability to make the bend. All that said, it's probably not going to be a match for the Elegy, but it's a nice, smooth refreshing and, I'd say, more reliable drive. Desk

According to a vid recently put out the elegy will be moved to super class soon...so massacro wins.

I'm hoping and sort of expecting that to be a troll. It would be a horrible change. Good for sports but awful for supers. A 100k 2 door sports saloon outperforming a 500k top end, track car, side by side rather than just on lap times.

This is the video if anyone missed it when I put it in the shoutbox:
I'd say his information is semi-reliable. He's talked about being in contact with a R* dev before in another of his videos and the information he gave turned out true.
To sum it up, a video he did asking for a rebalance to the elegy was met with anger, the dev saw that people love the elegy too much in freeroam/other aspects of the game from reading the comment section and the only other real option is to change it's class for racing.
This is the video from what I mentioned above:

My issue with that bottom video is that I race super cars entirely differently than sports cars...to compare the same lines does not really work for me. Using a super the same way as an elegy is slower. Super cars benefit the most from higher acceleration and super brakes. Hit the corner hard and tight, brake hard, turn hard, point the right way as soon as possible and accellerate away...try that in an elegy and your toast. Try the wide out sports line against tight in super line and you will be pushed out of the corner every time.

The Elegy moving to supers. That really bums me out as i love this car. Not to mention it doesn't stand a chance in the super class. Guess ill have to dig the Massacro out of the garage and start practicing. Does anybody know how the Feltzer compares to the Massacro.

Wow. Just watched the bottom video and it blew my mind. I guess I have to stand corrected for the Elegy being able to hold its own in the super class. This really has me thinking. Not only about the Elegy but also the Zentoro being beat by both.

Agree with Luap on that bottom vid. He's clearly more comfortable in the Entity, keeps quite a steady pace all the way round. His 1st half lap in the Elegy is pretty slow but then he seems to pick up and actually gain a little ground on the Entity. Every time I glanced at the Zentorno he seemed to be on the dirt... Interesting that the times are as close as they are.

if the elegy gets moved to supers thats probably the incentive ill need to rid myself of it permanently, wether or not it belongs there is questionable though. interesting...

Yeah, that video where he's racing the cars agains't eachother is rigged. He's doing it for the viewcount as so many other YouTubers. The Elegy isn't catching the Zentorno in the turns, but on the straights which should be it's weakest point. How to get alot of YouTube views on GTA 101:
- Make a controversial claim that a slower car is faster then a faster car - Make a comparison video to prove it (Even though it gives pretty much zero empirical proof) - Don't go full speed when you're on the straights in the faster car
Congratulations, since there is no measurement of speed in the game your video now implies that the slower car is faster, which in turn will make people loose their heads and keep sharing your video.

Instead of changing or moving the Elegy the game would benefit more if they gave the other sport cars little improvements to compete with it.
