Tenny80 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 What cars are you guys using? Best car per class, I have only found one dominate car so far and thats the 2005 Ford GT at A Class with as many handling/driveline upgrades I could get without going to S Class.

peaceM Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Any R class I used the Aventador. S class, I found the LFA very well for me. A class I used the Subaru WRX STi. B class I forgot actually. C class I used the Mustang Boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjanuary99 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 D-any muscle car C- cuda 426 hemi and 250 testa rossa (both are barn finds) B- WRX STI '11 A- Ford GT S- 458 spider and gallardo lp570-4 superleggera i haven't messed around with the R classes yet. B Subaru WRX 2011 A Evo X S Subaru 22b R3 Aventador R2 Aventador R1 Aventador C and lower pretty much anything lol And if I am keeping cars within class I just add power upgrades - not handling i am going to take a guess and say you are a big fan of AWD? lol what is your method to upgrading AWD cars? i usually get brakes/differential, then try to squeeze as much speed/accel as i can into it. in FM2/3/4 i would get all the handling upgrades, but i feel like they're not needed in this game. let me know whats the best way to go about upgrading in this game. i see you post on the official forums, so i will gladly take any advice.

PervasiveFall8 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I feel like this game definately favor AWD, too. It's very gran truismo (3) feel, which definately favored AWD. I've played in the evora, and I like the f40, but in B and A class I've had a blast in the Subaru WRX. SatNite favors the Peugeot in lower classes and in one town he beat my time from a standing start in it. I plan on trying it out. But im saving credits for the time being, not sure of which cars are gifted on showcases etc, so after I get some more single player under me, before having a crack at the leaderboards.

WartyHogger Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I use what looks good or which car I like for anything lower than A. Everything else, pretty much what's listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverendr Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 SatNiteEduardo is one seriously elite tuner, you should see some of his setups from FM4, including a few he made for me. I'd take any tuning / car advice he posts as gospel, he's got 1000/1000 on Horizon, 1250/1250 on FM4 and 1000/1000 on FM3 off the top of my head and seeing his gameplay is pretty wicked. And yes, Horizon heavily favors AWD, which was a large upgrade in FM4...it's now become almost stupid not to use, especially if you play with traction control and abs off or use standard transmission. Thanks again for all your help with FM4, Eduardo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjanuary99 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 hey neverendr, just noticed your profile says you're from forest hill. if you ever see a blue mustang in the fallston/bel air area it might be me. and i know SatNiteEduardo is good, that's why i was asking for some advice. i have made tunes in the past forzas as well, and in FM4 i got really into it. but this game is all based on builds since you can't fine tune anything.

Rivercurse Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Damn, SatNiteEduardo. That's some pretty good advice right there. I just won 4 races in a row in various classes and i'm not even any good at this game. Kudos Edit - 5 in a row. Edit2 - Ok, 6 in a row, starting to wonder now if your advice was rubbish and I just happen to have walked into a lobby full of noobs Edited October 28, 2012 by Rivercurse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjeksen Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 B Subaru WRX 2011 A Evo X S Subaru 22b R3 Aventador R2 Aventador R1 Aventador Should i just buy these cars, or are anyone of them gifted in-game?

Turkdaballa6 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I really dont see how AWD is favored in this game. My personal opinion is AWD > RWD > FWD. I find RWD to be favored in this game not AWD. GTR for example is extremely slow in straights and I can pull off better cornering in a zr1 than the gtr which is absolutely ridiculous. Especially once you upgrade stuff on it. A simple Y-pipe change and a protune on a gtr DEMOLISHES a zr1 in IRL… Dont get me wrong, I do not expect everything to be just like IRL by any means…. Anyhow here is my list so far and keep in mind that they are capped as in 99 or 00 of the top of the class plus I am going through the game pretty slow, completing every single challenge and trying to do all the outpost PR stunts… C: Mustang boss (first biplane event, the one in the demo) B: Lesbaru sti or your first car, the golf something lol A: M3 or Grandsport (with LS9, that is the zr1 engine) S: GTR or ZR1 havent done any events with the other classes so i cant say much.

SatNiteEduardo Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 For 95% of multiplayer races AWD will demolish the field provided they are not in AWDs as well. The only exception is the long highway races where I go with whatever car has the highest speed rating and I do not look at the drivetrain. In this game AWDs do not seem to suffer from any PI handicap they had in FM4 and the launch benefit and traction benefit far outweigh any perceived benefits the RWDs have. If other people like their RWDs thats cool. Up for a race against me in an AWD? I have actually given up racing online and mainly do playground games. All that happens when I race online is after the first race or two I have a target on my forehead and it seems like people think the winner is the driver who puts me into the wall the most at the start. Someone asked my upgrade strategy for AWDs. If on tarmac load on the power and only bother with anything else when you run out of power upgrades. For dirt max weight reduction, then power but maybe think about suspension and ARBs somewhere along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatNiteEduardo Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 New favorite car for A class tarmac, longer type races. Audi RS4. Also the modern GTRs are pretty good for all classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you on the RS4. It's pretty good if you leave it standard but once it's tuned it's awesome. Same goes for the Audi R8 at s level, once it's tuned it's as good as the Nissan GT-R.

JCW 60 MINI Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I've basically used the Lamborghini Diablo for all the A-class stuff unless it's off road. Then I use the Subaru WRX STi sedan, or the Nissan GTR. B class is the BMW 1M S class: varies Lambo Aventador for most of the higher stuff.

OctagonQontrol Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just tried the Flynt Showdown with the Aventador but despite its heritage, it's a cumbersome beast on the tight corners. Thinking of switching over to the 599XX maybe. Who done Flynt and in which car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same stats as the 599XX handling wise but better acceleration and top speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-NaDa Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The Nissan GT-R is amazing IMO. I also like the old Subaru STi (99 I think) as well as the 2011 WRX. I'll have to give a try with what SatNiteEduardo is saying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of switching over to the 599XX maybe. Who done Flynt and in which car? I did it in the Radical but if I tried again it would definitely be the Aventador. Turn in early trying to tap the apex but just miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've probably seen me around forest hill, I have a blue R34 Skyline and a titanium Audi RS6. I also ride a Ducati 1198 during nice weather. I'm at the Constant Friendship & Amyclae Starbucks quite often, I have disabled veteran plates, so my cars are hard to miss. Say hey if you see me, my names Mike.

SatNiteEduardo Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I have added the Lancia Evo to my list of favorite cars. Was in a lobby that was making me earn good results in the R classes but was smoking them in the lower classes in my Lancia. Also the Corvette C2 was a very nice surprise. I got bored with the AWDs so took out my C2 which I had built the night before but not tested and smoked a street race with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctagonQontrol Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Got a new R1 favorite... Well, it ain't the fastest in a straight line but the sound and the handling is very good... Pagani Zonda R All I upgraded was the rims, driveline and rear wheel width and managed to beat the last Showdown with destructive lead over Flynt. If you happen to have pets; my parrot REALLY doesn't like me when I drive the Pagani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
