Hey,

I'm having lots of fun with these used cars that you can buy at the used car dealer. For example, I have this Volkswagen Golf I tuned up, and made a bet with a friend the Golf would make it to about 270 km/h with this tuning. As a first, I didn't quite make it, but when I told him we didn't make rules about how to reach the speed, he pushed me a little and so I managed.

I also have this Fiat 500F (2 times, one from '65, stock, and a tuned one from '68 which is Premium) that gets to it's max fast enough.

Last but not least, I've got a Volkswagen Samba van that outruns many 'average' cars because of the turbo.

My question to you guys is, do you also have vehicles like this, or do you have suggestions for other cars of which no-one would believe it can make it to a certain amount of km/h / mphs?
 
People always kinda forgot about muscle cars are actually pretty fast if you keep the look rigid, does that count?

Off topic: I actually did a lap on nordschleife with a buddy of my on the fiat 500, with all 14 horsepower on the road, you can actually type messages without losing much time
 
Yesterday, I made an online 10 laps setup/race with irl friends on autumn ring mini with Citroën 2CV, 1st round, and Midget II, round 2.

So much fun ! 👍
 
Diahatsu Cuore TR-XX.

Car is 8k, I spent what im going to guess is near to 300k Cr., probably more like 250k.

Will out run the AI in anything up to 450BHP, so long as its a twisty track.

Bear in mind its 180BHP/800kg ish, so its a nippy lil' bugger, also get a spoiler, looks crap but works.

If I get my HDD recovered Ill post my tune cos it is a BEAST!
 
I tuned the volvo 240 GLT to 301bhp and lightened it to the max. On slicks its a blast around the ring and can reach about 147mph on the final straight.

Unfortunately the lightest this car can be is still around 1450kgs, which puts you at a disadvantage in an online race that is limited to 300 bhp. (and you cant really limit peoples weight to 1400 kgs, its not reasonable!)

However, its a favourite and gets lots of comments. In a clean lap of the ring you can still finish mid way up the field.

Defo need slicks though, need all the grip you can get.

Too bad it's not a premium car, so you could change the wheels. I bet it'd look sweet with some gold TE37's, slammed into the weeds, too much negative camber, and flat black.

EDIT: It does look sweet, IMO!
