I need a good car to buy!

[Butch927]

Okay, I have picked through the messages already posted trying to answer this myself, but I figured I'll just ask it directly.

What is a good car to buy that has decent power but also handles well. I saved up to buy a Mustang and then began getting it all souped up. It gets up to 200mph now but I have crazy problems on turns. It just seems like it is too fast to make turns on many of the tracks now and I lose control. The good thing is I can take the Super Speedway race in the GT CHampionship for a quick 10 grand....so I am able to get more money.

Can some people advise me here? Any car that will give me good spedd but also be better at making those turns?? Please???

Have you gotten the racing tires?  Also try to juke around your suspension to see if you can get some more traction by changing your camber angle and the stiffness and rebound of the shocks.  This may help.  Also you can turn up your traction control in the settings.  this may help with your problem.  Otherwise a mid engine rear drive or AWD is what you need, if you are having problems conrtroling the rear drive car.  Although you may just have it overpowered.  It is not alsways about top speed.  If you learn to disipline your self on the gas and use the brakes more you may find that you can use the car.  A good way to learn this is try to get all of the licenses.  They really stress that in the tests.  Try it out.

we bought the beetle then raced it till we got money then we got the 3000 gt that is a good car to kinda start off

Trick out your Stang and get your International A license.  Then go to the endurance races and race one of those, u'll most likely cream the competition and win a very nice car.  So far I've won the Zonda Race Car, Impreza Race Car and also the Corvette C5.  Soon I'll be working on getting a Formula.  See ya.

Don't buy a 4WD car if you want to turn fast at fast speed!
I have my Escudo pikes peak tuned to 1700HP, but it's very hard to turn when I race on road! Skyline GTR (4WD) and 3000 GT-vr4 (4WD) is also kind hard to turn when you tune them above 500HP. In all different cars under 100,000, I think the Acura NSX will be a good choice.

take your mustang and race the super speedway endurance race until you get the fo0o/s indy car. it handles amazing and accelerates like mad. it might take some time to get but it's well worth it. if you want to buy a car that isnt too expensive and handles like a dream then go for the corvette c5r. you also gotta remember not to overpower the cars or you end up spinning in alot of circles.

Fast cars don't necessarily handle poorly.  You just can't be foolish when driving one.  Don't try to take sharp turns at 200 MPH, of course you're not gonna make it.  Just because a slower car was able to take that same turn at 50 MPH, does that mean it handles better?  Not necessarily.  The Escudo could probably take the turn at 50 MPH also.  Fast cars don't handle like sh**, stupid m'fers with fast cars handle like sh**.  The Escudo was my favorite car in GT2.  Why? Cuz it had huge HP, weighed very little, and had lots of downforce.  It handled great, as long as you drive sensibly.  Go ahead and floor it on a straight, that's where the huge HP gives you an advantage, but make sure you slow down for the turn.  You can still take the turns as fast as the other cars, but why not have the extra HP on the straights to blow past them?  I don't see the downfall in upgrading a car to it's max HP.

CALM DOWN!!!!!

It is true that fast cars can handle well, you have just got to know what you are doing.

They are right.More speed always means you need more braking.
I`ve had good luck with the camaro ss at full hp and all the goodies.
 Just keep adjusting and you will get it.

All you need is an NSX Type-R and soup it up to around 400 HP..and u should kick ass..
no competition what so ever
