Re: [DERELICTS]Which Derelict is best for which build?

The Nissan 240Z is pretty much universal. It's mediocre in Off-Road but it's among the top cars in every other class.

The Chevy Bel Air is a good Drag car and Off-Road car and a very good Runner car, though a pretty bad Race car. I'm told it's a good Drift car as well but I haven't tried it.

The Ford Mustang is easily the best Off-Road derelict. It also makes a pretty good Drag car although it's pretty mediocre in every other class.

The Chevy C10 is probably the best Runner car in the game and it's particularly useful for winning "avoid contact" bets as it's tall suspension means your timer won't reset when you jump curbs. In every other class it's about what you'd expect though.

The VW Beetle is a pretty good Drag car, Off-Road car and Race car, though I haven't tried it in Drift. As a Runner car it's pretty good if you want to pretend you're a soccer ball.

  • As a runner, the VW Beetle is probably the most OP car in the game. It beats everything in speedlists with ease, only a few seconds off regeras on highways and beats RSR race cars on technical races by several seconds too. (It's the reason why most pros use it these days)

    Yeah I guess it's good if you want a Runner Race car for multiplayer, in theory. Given the "demo derby" nature of  multiplayer and the fact that the Beetle weights next to nothing, you'll probably get rammed into oblivion before the race even starts.

    I raced against guys with beetles that was like crazy fast and I'm talking really fast my regera wich btw is fully upgraded with 3 perk speedcards and most of them is (nitrous, accelaration, speed). I really struggled to cath them if I did and with circuit races even though I drive exceptionally well and don't crash even once, I'm not able to catch them. So I just want to know what's up eith that and how do I get my beetle that fast, because believe me I've tried

  • So for best drag car, which one do you suggest and by setting beetle as runner car by default.

  • The beetle is my far the best off road car. No other car beats the beetle in off road. It beat the mustang by over 2 min in the run. 

  • @kandgnetsol I've beaten the beetle with the firebird, if you really got good parts in the firebird I think it would be the best offroad car in the game
