My primary garage at the moment: Elegy RH8 / Entity XF Carbonizzare / Zentorno Jester / Voltic Sultan RS / Bati 801 Thrust / Akuma Bought the Carbonizzare and the Jester today as they were on my Sports wishlist. I have to say, I'm not loving the Jester so far but maybe it'll grow on me. The handling just seems really stiff. The Thrust is a complete waste of money if you're looking for a racing bike. As a weird looking alien robot cruiser thing, it works pretty well though. I'll probably keep it in my secondary garage as an oddity when I find something to replace it with. That's funny, I think of my Jester as being one of my more lax car to drive. The Elegy is a stiff bastard, which is why I only race it. My use of the term "stiff handling" isn't a good way to describe the Jester. I'll try to explain better: The Jester does handle well, but it also seems to have a wide turning radius and a lot of traction. As a result, it feels a lot less responsive when I'm trying to take corners at high speed. I find myself braking a lot more when I drive it. I guess my complaint about it being "stiff" is more an issue with not being used to understeer? The Elegy doesn't have great handling but I'm able to drift with it a bit and take corners a lot faster. |

The eledy has the best handling in the game. You can't ever take corners a lot faster by drifting a little.

I didn't say the Elegy had bad handling, but I agree with Hawkinson that it can feel a little "stiff". It's definitely one of the better handling sports cars but I don't think it has the best handling in the game. For turning, when I say "drifting a little", what I mean is that I find the back end of the Elegy tends to swing out slightly when I take turns at higher speeds. Maybe it's not faster but letting the back snap out going into a sharp turn instead of braking or letting off the gas more before the turn feels certainly feels like I keep a more consistent speed, if that makes sense. |
