which is your favourite burnout car?

i've just recently discovered the '4x4 takedown'. it's absolutely brilliant. built like a tank but seriously fast. great for just bumping cars out of the way. most fun is had on takedown missions...superfast vans and other 4x4's with the odd fast car thrown in.

i thought the 'inferno van' was great...but this is on a different level!

ps i've only unlocked about 33 of the cars.

The van is the best vehicle for doing the road rules (as long as you are not interested in getting really fast times but just beating the official record) as you tend to push other cars out of the way rather than crashing when you touch them.

My favourite is the Carson GT, great allround car, good speed, good boost and good strength, and it looks so nice in platinum livery

have you tried the 4x4 takedown for road rules? i find it to be stronger than the van and faster!

Re: which is your favourite burnout car?

P12 is great indeed for Stunt Runs. I think it handles better / performs better than the Carson GT Flame, (which is my preferred car for all-round performance).

Hawker is nice. Not keen on the 4x4 as I find it too lumpy to drive. Prefer the Citizen for Road Rages and Marked Mans. Mens. Men?.

Re: which is your favourite burnout car?

I'm finding it too twitchy.

I'm using the 25 V16 for races. It's surprisingly nice for a speed car.

Re: which is your favourite burnout car?

is the p12 the one that looks like a countach?

i'm surprised no one else has enjoyed the 4x4 takedown as much as i have. i've got another 4x4 since which i don't really like...that's definitely clunky.

i need to unlock some more cars...i'm sure there are some corkers yet to be found!

I agree the PCPD is very tough and good speed just finished the timed showtimes tried doing this with the P12 but the slightest touch on another car and its wrecked the PCPD will ram straight through the back of another car without losing any speed

Re: which is your favourite burnout car?

I love the 4x4 for take downs... i set my take down record in it of 104 in a run. That was on my final Road Rage on Elite too!

I don't have one specifically...

Foe cosmetics / appearances, I am a massive fan of the montgompry Hyperion rattler. It handles good, is deceptively tough, and looks like an e-type jaguar. Beautiful.

For all round general performance, probably the Carson GT concept. NOT the GT flame, The concept is better. In my view anyway.

For stunt runs, I use my p12 diamond. I only unlocked it recently but it's an incredible price of kit.

For races, I normally use the GT nighthawk. This is the only time I will use this car though, is it is generally driven by online bullies, and assholes that don't want to do challenges even when in a challenge lobby. So that is a race only car for me.

For marked man and road rage, I use the civillian. The 4x4 and the inferno van are too tanklike, and o like a car that can at least make it round a gentle curve without losing the majority of it's paint to a wall.

In all, I suppose my favourite car would probably be the p12 diamond, it's a real bastard to get, but totally worth the effort.
