DigitalN. Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 hey there, trying to beat this game with all platinums, I am using the McLaren F1LM but sometimes it just isn't fast enough, while it may be my driving, who knows. Is this the fastest car or is there one better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY:G Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Not sure, but i think the fastest car in the game is the Ferrari Enzo, and good luck with the platinums, i tried to but i just gave up after playing some stages 20+ times... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted March 2, 2007 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 2, 2007 F50GT is the fastest in the game, but the best all round fastest is the Panoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 My favorite car is the Ferrari Enzo, but it's not the fastest. It's just the best in terms of handling vs. acceleration and speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalanche Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 No need for fastest car as the game adapt the time to the car, so you can beat the game on platinum with the slowest car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm, I was playing with the F50GT but kept getting stuck on the Platinum levels, switched to the Enzo and am having more luck now. :) Its not as fast as the F50GT, but it handles so much better, but you can still get drifts going when you need it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilsbury Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Unless it's a circuit composed of long straights, I found the Ruf Concept to be the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadwick Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Unless it's a circuit composed of long straights, I found the Ruf Concept to be the best. The first time I played the game through I used the Ultima GTR. As said before you don't need the fastest car to beat the game, everything is relevant to the car you pick. Some cars are harder to do this with because within their class they are outperformed, a good example is the Corvette c6, its a great car, well balanced, but its a challenge to win races in because the cars you end up getting put against are a lot quicker on the straights, so you must use the vettes handling and braking to the max to pass these cars in the corners. The corvette z06 is a great car by contrast, the added performance puts it at the top of its class and its a very predictable car to drive, I find the enzo to be inconsistent at times in terms of handling especially when sliding, the corvette does what you expect of it every time, once you get a feel for the car you will find yourself easily walking away from faster cars. I find the game more fun by using the slower cars, if you wanna have fun try doing elimination races with cars like the GTO on hardcore, you'll find yourself against ferraris that will rape you on the straights and out handle you on the turns. Ultimately it comes down to driving ability, when and how much to brake, if you want to be fast dont slide the car, sliding = slow, the fastest lap is the one where you never break traction. If you want a perfect example of this take the Shelby Cobra concept (the silver modern looking one, i believe its under the ford category, not to be confused with the GT500 or mustangs btw) and race it on the las vegas boulevard hot lap, i believe its the 5th from last championship, 4th race from from the bottom of the list. Basically its a lot of tight turns and a few long straights. This car likes to slide, a lot, it has a lot of horsepower and its a light car, RWD, on this track with tight turns you find yourself oh so tempted to rack in the kudos points but if you do that you will end up turning in a lap 5-10 seconds over the hardcore limit. If you drive the track and don't spin the tires at all, or at a very minimum you will find yourself beating the hot lap time by 1-5 seconds. I've found this car on that race to be the only challenge in the game on hardcore, but it makes it fun. btw why is the very last championship the easiest fricken race in the game?? Theres no challenge, its an easy 500,000 credits and at least 5-10k kudos every time on hardcore :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av3n Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 It's not the fastest car, but I usually use the Super Sport because it's almost just as fast as the F50 GT and I suck with drifting :p Oh and anyone need to get the cat/mouse achievements for this game? I've been trying to get it for a while now so if anyone wants to get them lemme know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
