what are the best race cars in need for speed payback?

I just wanted to know what the best race cars are in need for speed payback because I feel like my Nissan GTR premium is not performing as well as the other cars so I wanted a good race car that will...

Based on my gaming experience since day 1. These are just my opinions, please respond if you found better cars to use per class and tell us why and how you do it. Thank you.

Race: Koenigsegg Regera or Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8 (Depending on track terrain, your handling skills and preference).

Drift: Lamborghini Huracan (Most used and produce top high scores) or Mazda RX-7 (Long time real life and Need For Speed Drift Legend).

Drag: Volkswagen Beetle (With wheelie bars for better handling or without it to do wheelie side-bets and fastest 1/4 mile clocked so far) or Beck Kustoms F132.

Offroad: Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8, Chevrolet Bel-Air, Porsche Panamera Turbo or Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX (Depending on RWD or AWD preference and Live Tune).

Runner: BMW M5 (House and Police pursuer wrecking machine), Ford Mustang GT (Sport car type), BMW M4 GTS (Drifty), Porsche Panamera Turbo (Sedan car type) or Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX (Import sedan car type) (Depending on preferred car type (Sport or sedan cars), Live Tune settings (Strong or lightweight chassis reinforcement) and drifty or stable run).

Performance installed: I preferred 3x Chidori and 3x Outlaw with Acceleration, speed, brakes and nitrous perks on all my car classes. I personally disregard the jump perk unless I need an offroad car to tackle jumps, destroy billboards, collect derelict parts or get chips.

    @AlphaGamer32168  I would say that the best car is the one that you can actually handle. Most people love their supersports and most seem to be unaware that a supersport can support just a minimum tuning (we are already talking about a car that barely sticks to the road, what more can you add to it?!). But that's their choice. Personally i would go with street cars with high tuning potential, good/great accceleration and a decent grip/handling. 

    @Laurel_Paras did a really nice list there, so can help to make up your mind, but you will have to fiddle with the cards until you get the right configuration for the chosen car. Trial and error....

      Hi,

      I don't know if my favorite one is THE best, but it seems to be the best for my style

      Mustang 65 : 3xOutlaw + 3xChidori

      5xSpeed : Power 1147 / Top speed : 380km/h (around 237 mph)

      5xAcceleration : 0>100 km/h : 1.87 sec. / 1/4 mile : 8.27 sec.

      4xNitro : 8.8 / 8.8

      4xBrake : 8.6 / 8.8

      I want to go to 5xNitro & 3xBrake

      I set aerodynamics to the lowest (didn't change other settings)

      Any comments are most welcome

    These suggestions really helped me. In my opinion, I think that the BMW X6 M is a very nice offroad vehicle. It does not drift as much as the panamera turbo. (I have a problem with how much the offroad cars drift on dirt.)

      X6 sucks. No control. The evo is a legend offroad. Fast and good handling in corners especially drift offroad.

      I'd like to add that the GTR is one of if not the quickest cars off the line in the game. 0-60 in 1.37 (As it should be) however, it falls short after that. Ghost please, if you make another one add an AMS preformance package for the GTR. Please.

        Carrera RSR for Race and Off-Road, Mazda RX7 for Drift, Nissan 240Z for Drag and Chevrolet C10 for Runner (if you like smashing cops, otherwise the M3 E30 is almost as strong but a lot sportier).

    Race: Regera, Porsche GT3, and GT4. Drift: Huracan, Focus RS, 911 RS, RX7. Off-road: 2015 Civic R Type, Belair, Trans-Am. Runner: M5, Fairlady, and most of all a 399 Chevy C10 with heavy reinforcement tune. Not very fast, but you will destroy anything save a Rhino, in your path. Drag: Dodge Viper, 65 Mustang, Trans-am, Beetle
