The Cars that are too good for their own class thread.

You always get a car that, once tuned, absolutely wipes the floor with anything else in that class, so I thought I start a thread for people to list these beasts to scare the life out of other racers when taken online.

My Tip:

Dodge Viper ACR + all tuning mods (1065bhp) and AWD Drive conversion results in a Class R3 monster.

Guaranteed to be first place by the first corner even if you start last.

Any others?

Yeah I use that modified 08 Viper in R3 and and can even win on hard difficulty setting and I am pretty crap. The Ferrari you win in R3 is very good aswell at tighter courses

The Viper makes alot of horsepower but is pretty heavy even with max weight reduction (and AWD swap only adds weight). There's always going to be high-HP cars in R3/R2 class but honestly in the end they're not that much better than the pure racing cars (especially with the restrictors removed).

When I play multiplayer and want to do R cars with my friends typically I lock it to racing cars for balancing issues. The high hp supercars are rockets in the straights but in the turns the racing cars murder them. I played a game the other day and everyone else used an FXX while I used the #45 FLMS GT3 RSR and I had the fastest lap of the race (at Laguna granted...) by almost half a second...course it didn't help me as I was taken out of the race at turn 2 by a new guy...

I like the touring cars, especially the merc. Fast and grips like superglue.
