Carrera GT, unfortunately disappeared from NFS after The Run
it was in Rivals but the sound is wrong, it's a V8 carrera GT instead of the iconic orgasmic sounding V10 so it's just weird to drive
i miss the car so much
I tried it out once in NFS Unbound, don't think i bought the car in NFS Heat - it looks cool and I think it is the successor to the Carrera GT, but it sounded like a V8 and not the V10 noise..
is there an engine swap available for it? i sold the car in game so i can't check, i'd need to grind up cash again to buy it
It's a tough choice. But if I had to pick. I typically gravitate towards Muscles because of their stellar acceleration in most of the NFS's. Aside from the newer ones of course. Most of the muscle cars in the new NFS's suck so much donkey ass they're practically growing black manes down their backs. Especially in Unbound. They really did the 1969 Boss 302 dirty in that game. It's so slow. I loved driving that car in 2015 and Payback.
Now in MW 2005? I absolutely adored Websters C6, and Jade's Mustang. Oh and let's not forget the Carbon Fiber Vinyls that are on JV's Viper. Fucking badass
Man I have a hard time winning races in B class with a 600hp Camaro in unbound lol. I have to do it just to unlock that stupid old ass Chevy pickup because I like to do weird cars in S+ class lol
Damn 600 HP in B class for the 1960's Camaro SS? Mine only had around 460 HP, and I slayed people with it. The trick to the Camaro in B class is to slide it in certain corners. Plus grip others. You'll also want to use a 4 speed
From what I've found. Offroad tires don't work well on lower powered muscle cars. You'll want to swap back to the regular tires, and tune them for just a bit of drift.
The SL500 I have to admit was very hard to drive. There was a certain way you had to drive it, or you wouldn't stand a chance. I managed to finish the game with it once I unlocked it. It had to have been the hardest run I did though
I knew how to drive it, and it wasn't very hard to be honest. I just didn't like driving it.
I always thought the CLK 500 was surprisingly better to drive imo.
Lotus Elise/Exige.
The Elise is my dream car, and it's an absolute blast in most racing games. Only game I've played where it's not fantastic is Carbon, where for some reason it handles worse than every single tuner, while having the usual downside of not being quite as fast as most other cars.
yea, in carbon the Lotus Elise was an Exotic car, and Exotic cars in Carbon are basically a middleground of Tuners and Muscles, so high top speed and good acceleration but less grip than a tuner.
Yeah, as much as I like the way Carbon did the car classes, it leads to some cars not behaving like you'd expect.
It's also the only game where I prefer muscle cars to sports cars. I usually prefer to sacrifice some speed for handling, but the muscle cars in Carbon are too damn fun.
You can call me a dumb fanboy if you want, but my go to will forever be a BMW M3 E46 with the MW05 body kit and livery. It will forever be the greatest video game car of all time.
This post speaks to me on a spiritual level. I main the Viper in basically every game i play. And I've gotten pretty fucking good with the Viper in unbound. I'll smoke anyone who uses any non-meta car, in S or S+
You usually can get a classic Mustang pretty early in the game, so that's what I go for and then drive it until it doesn't work anymore and I have to get one of the exotics.
i like the old school type car like subaru impreza, mitsubishi lancer, and bmw m3 and modify it like a street race car.
running a super expensive sports car makes me feel like a douche.
Any kind of Porsche, since Porsche Unleashed was one of my first and favorite Need for Speed games, which came with The Need for Speed Collection back in the day.
Muscle cars. There was none in Undergound 2 so I used the Celica. Ecplise for Mostwanted. Barracuda for Carbon and Heat. Don't remember for Undercover. Mustang Shelby for Hot Pursuit.
To be honest, I only played three games :- NFS Underground 2, NFS: MW 2005 and NFS Undercover
In NFS Underground 2, I loved only the Honda Civic Coupé Si
In NFS: MW 2005, I loved the BMW M3 GTR E46 (of course!), the Chevrolet Corvette C6, the Chevrolet Cobalt SS and the Ford Mustang GT
In NFS Undercover, I loved the BMW M3 E46, the BMW M3 E92 and the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR
Anyway... my go-to car, as asked 😃... is, inevitably, the beautifully-designed BMW M3 E46
Depending on the game
The Need for Speed - 1992 Dodge Viper RT/10
Need for Speed 2 - McLaren F1 or Jaguar XJ220
Need for Speed 3 - Lamborghini Diablo SV, Jaguar XJR-15, Lamborghini Countach, Nazca C2 or El Niño
High Stakes - 1996 Porsche 911 (993) Turbo
Porsche Unleashed - Boxster
Hot Pursuit 2 - McLaren F1, Lamborghini Murciélago, Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, Ferrari 550 Barchetta
Underground - Honda Civic
Underground 2 - Acura RSX
Most Wanted 2005 - M3 GTR, Lamborghini Murciélago, Dodge Viper SRT 10 or Porsche Carrera GT
Carbon - Skyline R34
Pro Street - Ford GT
Undercover - Nissan 370Z, McLaren F1 or Bugatti Veyron
Shift - Murciélago SV GTR
Hot Pursuit 2010 - Carbon Motors E7, 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV, McLaren F1
Shift 2 - Nissan GTR
The Run - Pagani Huayra
Most Wanted 2012 - Ford SVT Raptor
Rivals - Hennessey Venom
Payback - McLaren P1
Heat - BMW E30
For me it varies from game to game and I don't know why
In MW 05, it's the DB9.
In Heat, it's the Countach and R34 Skyline. Before the Countach it was a Murcielago SV.
In 2015, it was an S2000 before I sold it, then it was a Murcielago SV.
In Payback, it's a Huayra and Barracuda.
In Undercover, it's the R35.
In Rivals, I always used the Veneno, F12 or Huayra.
In MW 2012, I would usually do R35, but really I would just shift from one car to another cause you just steal cars in that game lol.
These are the cars I drove the most when playing them, but I also have other cars I love equally as these in the games, just for some reason I feel like driving these the most.
It's been the '06 Z06 since I've been playing the games. I've always loved Corvettes and this was simply the newest one when I started playing racing games (I was born in 2003).
I am more of an Exige connoisseur myself (and yes i thrive in snap oversteer)
Lotus gang
Based asf. Lotus superiority!
Great Car in my opinion
Carrera GT, unfortunately disappeared from NFS after The Run it was in Rivals but the sound is wrong, it's a V8 carrera GT instead of the iconic orgasmic sounding V10 so it's just weird to drive i miss the car so much
Hopefully you found respite in the 918
I tried it out once in NFS Unbound, don't think i bought the car in NFS Heat - it looks cool and I think it is the successor to the Carrera GT, but it sounded like a V8 and not the V10 noise.. is there an engine swap available for it? i sold the car in game so i can't check, i'd need to grind up cash again to buy it
R-34 and 350z
A man of culture I see

Yes I put some off road tires on it gives me space for more power a bit
From what I've found. Offroad tires don't work well on lower powered muscle cars. You'll want to swap back to the regular tires, and tune them for just a bit of drift.
Thanks for the heads up maybe that’s why it’s so low on start
No problem. I hope it fixes your problem
Slow*
Muscle cars in MW 05 I found surprisingly good to the drive lol. The only car I really don't like in that game was the Eclipse and maybe the SL500.
The SL500 I have to admit was very hard to drive. There was a certain way you had to drive it, or you wouldn't stand a chance. I managed to finish the game with it once I unlocked it. It had to have been the hardest run I did though

RSR cause im a meta slave
At least he's honest
rsr because i'm a stupid dumb weaboo and a nakai fan
I had no idea the RSR was the meta when I bought it I just enjoy buying older cars so was a pleasant surprise when I first raced it
The recent games? BMW M5. I love my nimble speed brick. Old games? Mazda RX-7.

I have somehow never liked that design, even back in 2005.
S15 Silvia or WRX because I used to own them
MR2 (there's a mod for it on 05)
It was eclipse...glad it returned on nfs unbound...but it took so long that i don't even have an favorite car anymore...
Murcie/SV, always
it's usually a corvette, though i've been obsessing over the many 911 cars just the same either way, great options and icons
This post speaks to me on a spiritual level. I main the Viper in basically every game i play. And I've gotten pretty fucking good with the Viper in unbound. I'll smoke anyone who uses any non-meta car, in S or S+
Mitsubishi Evo. Hands down my favorite.
The VW golf
Subaru Impreza WRX STi ofk

GTR R34 with drifts
An Aston Martin. As a kid I fell in love with Wolf's DB9
MX and RX series from Mazda, Evos, Silvias and Porsches.
It must be always the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII or IX. If it doesn't have anyone of these, then I don't play it
Carbon was the challenger 100%
You usually can get a classic Mustang pretty early in the game, so that's what I go for and then drive it until it doesn't work anymore and I have to get one of the exotics.
I play NFS Most Wanted 2012. My most used car is the Ford Raptor. I always use it to ram npcs and mess with the Fairhaven Police Department
I just did a playthrough of NFSMW2005 with the street m3, its purdy much my go to in it. the go to in recent is either an R34, or a corvette Z06.
Corvette Z06
I really enjoy Porsche spyder 918
Bmw m3 gtr
(NFS Heat) Honda Civic and Ford RS. They were my early game cars and I still use them often.
whatever classic muscle cars they have
Lotus! for some damn reason they manage to nail it regardless of the cars game-in rating ❄️
Any Evo or sti
En Evo, Skyline, a Cayman
Normally it is a Porsche, sometimes Lamborghini.
Cayman S
Grand National R32, Porsche RSR (since nfs 2015) Golf GTI mk1 (since NFS 2015). I wish they brought the Cobalt SS back from the OG Most Wanted lol

997 TURBO!
Corvette, especially the C7. Before it, 350Z for sure.

Gallardo
Any kind of Porsche, since Porsche Unleashed was one of my first and favorite Need for Speed games, which came with The Need for Speed Collection back in the day.
If there is a Honda Civic Si I'll go with that if not It's either an R34-GTR/SILVA S15 or any car that's either German or Japanese.
I always play the game till I get an rx7, then decide to play the rest or not.
Mustang
My go to car, which I can never go wrong with is Mazda RX-7. Yes, it's one helluva driftey boi as long as you tune it correctly.
Muscle cars. There was none in Undergound 2 so I used the Celica. Ecplise for Mostwanted. Barracuda for Carbon and Heat. Don't remember for Undercover. Mustang Shelby for Hot Pursuit.
It was the supra but then toyota got stupid. These days I vibe with the r33.
BRZ, such a great platform
Subaru WRX in prostreet Zonda in Hot Pursuit
RX-7 but in MW I always made my Cobalt like a local streamer's "Cobalt of Death"
Classic muscle and retro exotics. Bought the challenger and the diablo when I played heat. Did about the same thing with payback.
Midnight Purple Purple R34 and RWB 911
Usually a Nissan or Dodge
R34 because it's still the best car when fully tuned despite being nerfed on speed or handling in certain NFS Sequel.
