    The Samson Opus is the perfect car for this achievement. I find this car at two fixed locations in the game, every time. So I think these places are fix for everyone. The first location is in Tickfaw Harbor and the second location in Southdowns. Get a car from one of the two locations.

    From the first location in Tickfaw Harbor leads a Highway to the second location in Southdowns. This highway is perfect, no curves just straight forward and with the Samson Opus you reach the 120 mph very fast.

    TangerineGamerThe car in Southdowns isn't fast enough, like others have said you need the one from Tickfaw

    HyperionstonThanks for the guide, above comments are correct about Tickfaw Harbor being quicker.

    The achievement unlocks when you hold a car's speed at or above 120mph for 20 seconds. Note that the achievement does not pop at the 20 second mark but unlocks after you reduce the speed below 120 mph after sustaining the required speed for 20 seconds. Many cars are not capable of that speed so car selection is important. Most people seem to be getting this achievement with the De'Leo Stiletto which I had not found yet at the time of this writing. Like Zasta 360GameTV, I got this achievement very easily with a car that is always available--the Samson Opus that is found in Tickfaw Harbor.

    Make sure the driving mode is set to normal and is NOT set to simulation!. If you are unsure, go into the options menu (as shown in the video below) and select "Game." The simulation mode is very difficult to control. In fact, the car slides so easily that the Samson Opus in simulation mode is an ideal car to get the Bordeaux Drifter achievement. You won't even have to make an effort. The car starts drifting as soon as you make a sharp turn. However, in normal mode, the car handles perfectly and its natural speed makes it one of the top candidates for this achievement.

    This video demonstrates conclusively that the Samson Opus does not have to be modified to reach speeds in excess of 120 mph. The achievement is unlocked at the beginning of the game before we are able to modify cars. The current mission is A Taste of the Action where we learn how to set routes. Instead of going to Sammy's Bar in New Bordeaux as the game would have you go, we set a route to a garage in Tickfaw Harbor to pick up a Samson Opus. The Samson Opus is always available in the garage shown in the video.

    The route to unlock the achievement starts at the bottom of a multi-lane road. Press cn_RT all the way to drive at max speed. Stay roughly on the center dividing line and make only subtle adjustments with cn_LS to steer and avoid traffic. Entering the tunnel, the car is able to sustain a speed greater than 120 mph. After maintaining this speed for 20 sec, once the speed drops below 120 mph, the achievement pops:


    Continuing along the route at a high rate of speed, the road bends to the right. When the road straightens out, the car will go airborne as it climbs an incline. When the car lands, the following achievement will unlock for jumping in excess of 50 meters and landing upright:

    AllgorhythmTo satisfy the skeptics, I redid the video to show the achievement popping. The video is made at the beginning of the game before we are able to modify cars. So, it demonstrates that an unmodified Samson Opus can maintain speeds just over 125 mph.

    AngelTiddlesYou can get the jump achievement earlier by hitting the V shapes in the carriageway edges, they send your car flying, you can roll it as long as you land on your wheels.

    AllgorhythmGood point. In fact, that's how I did it originally. I got the two achievements just driving around and surprised myself. The Testing the Shocks achievement popped before the Custom 358 achievement when the car goes airborne at the first bend in the road. Before I edited the solution, I included a video made with this video that recreated the achievements but, since they were made after the fact, did not show the achievements unlocking. Because there was some question regarding whether the Samson Opus without modifications could sustain speeds above 120 mph, I redid the video using an alt GamerTag on a new game that showed the achievements unlocking. I was a little more conservative and so left the jump achievement for the second jump.

    For this achievement i recommend using the De'Leo Stiletto.

    External image

    This car can be found in the North of Frisco Fields. I found it twice at the beginning of a dirt road near a contruction site. It may take a while for it to show up since the car is quite rare.

    After aquiring the De'Leo Stiletto, use the following route:


    0:57 - 1:21 : 120 mph+ run

    Good luck! :)

    x TheJoke xI found one on the mission "kill frank pagani" its out front of the warehouse he's hiding in. I'm assuming this is a permanent spawn seeing as how it is in a mission.

    darkmafia99This car can be delivered for free after ^^ sick car, with the drivetrain upgrade gets to 130+

    Mr SpinelesS@darkmafia99 Two Different, but similar vehicles.

    The De'Leo Traviata is a nice, fast car. It's just a shame it's engine sounds like a dentists drill...

    Location where Stiletto loads: (not sure how to imbed image in a comment)

    EDIT: Nevermind, looks like it only loads here after you a further into the game (unlock tickfaw, or possibly the mission to kill Frank Pagani)
