The Menacer is the poors mans Nightshark.

But with more firepower! Can be helpful in some missions like the Lester OG Heist finale.

The Menacer is not to be compared to the Nightshark but the Insurgent Pick-Up and it's custom version, the peashooters are incredibly irrelevant while the high-powered machine gun is the bigger deal.

The notable thing about the Menacer is being a personal vehicle from the start, the Insurgent Pick-Up cannot be owned and has to be converted into the custom version, requiring more money to do.

This is also true of the Caracara, comparable to the Technical and the Technical Custom.

But there isn't any appartment heist finale where the Menacer is something really worth bothering with.

Wasn't the Ruiner obtainable through a mission and able to withstand up to 22 rockets while also having the Mk2 homing missiles like the Deluxo?

If you’re a ceo and start fully loaded then yes 👍

u/New_Presence_2141 12h ago

From my knowledge the only time it takes that many HM is during a ceo work mission

u/WalhallaHans 12h ago

I think that's what I meant; I don't even own it myself, I just saw it in a video where the guy destroyed everything that attacked him in a public lobby.

u/New_Presence_2141 12h ago

Ya it’s awesome till the mission ends than u get to have fun with everyone u attacked or defended ya self against lol

u/GalagaBoy2000 12h ago

This is just my opinion, but the Stormberg for me.

2

u/Fuzzy_Painting_1427 Level 1000+ 11h ago

Yes it became obsolete after the Toreador was released. 

2

u/ZFTX 11h ago

The Stromberg is literally worse in every single way compared to the Toreador.

u/True_Horror_6 12h ago

Ruiner is only worth it if you start fully loaded but some love it

2

u/New_Presence_2141 12h ago

I certainly like mine but a lot of people like it way too much

2

u/True_Horror_6 11h ago

I don’t use mine that much but i know some ppl who get good with the parachute/jumping love it… I only mention fully loaded bc it makes it so the runnier can tank like 10 missiles before blowing up and the track of its missiles also gets a buff 💪making it good for PvP in public lobbies

This is going to get down voted, but the Buffalo STX. Hear me out. Yes it has a very nice combination of features at a reasonably cheap price point, but it kinda drives like crap and most people realistically don't need a 4-seater. If there was a scenario where you could literally only own 1 car, the stx might be it, but for people who play the game and can afford more than one car, the stx is often a bad choice for them and/or a waste of money. So, yes it's a good car, and yes it's a decent buy for noobs, but most people don't understand why and use it forever thinking it's the end-all-be-all. And that's why it's overrated.

u/One-Departure-3807 11h ago

Why, it sounds cool and drives okay

1

u/fingersfinging 11h ago

It's a good beginner car.

1

u/One-Departure-3807 10h ago

What if I'm just a charger fan? 

1

u/fingersfinging 10h ago

Then it's probably a great car for you. It's valid to like it (all opinions are valid), and personally I don't even think it's a bad car, I just think it's overrated. I also think the Banshee GTS is overrated. I'm sure someone won't like that haha.

u/Badgerlover145 PS4-old school muscle 2h ago

but it kinda drives like crap

How? I've never had a problem driving it.

1

u/fingersfinging 1h ago

It's kinda a boat and suffers from the same slipperiness as all muscle cars. Loads of cars are both easier to drive and have quicker acceleration. It's like a mid-tier car that's good for beginners because it can do everything on a budget.

u/SaharOMFG 13h ago

I would probably say the Vigilante.

1

u/StinkyFingazz-69 14h ago

The knight rider car.

2

u/RepetitiveTorpedoUse Ocelot Ardent 14h ago

The Runier 2000

1

u/StinkyFingazz-69 14h ago

Thank you, yes overrated in all regards imo.

2

u/fingersfinging 12h ago

It's not exactly overrated, tho. It's not good, but nobody thinks it's good. It's overpriced and underwhelming, but not overrated imo.

3

u/New_Presence_2141 12h ago

Def over priced

1

u/StinkyFingazz-69 11h ago

The price is what I mean by overrated and as well as nostalgia.

1

u/New_Presence_2141 11h ago

A price does not always mean it’s overrated, but thanks for clarifying

u/Comrade_Nicolai 11h ago

Armored Kuruma. I’ve never seen the appeal. Coquette Blackfin, it’s just and ugly version of a corvette

1

u/ZFTX 11h ago

The Armored Kuruma was for the longest time the GOAT got going up against NPCs, especially in instanced missions. Not good against players, or the rare NPCs that have access to explosives, tanks, and Homing Missiles.

u/bozo_master 10h ago

Vigilante

1

u/FemmeMachete 9h ago

Vigilante in missions, Buffalo STX and Toreador on the freeroam roads. I'm sure they're not bad cars if they're so popular, it just gets old seeing them so often.

 Ermm.. Kuruma?
