If memory serves me correct, it was the Player's M3 GTR not Razor... But I could be wrong...

Technically yes and also technically it's both.

The player uses it originally, then Razor effectively steals it after sabotaging it and he uses it to ascend the Blacklist. At the end, the player wins it back by beating him while he's racing it.

In "ownership" terms, it's never owned by Razor, but he does race it the most in the game. I think Razor's "own" car is a Mustang.
 
Unbound has been such a really good game. Is anything particularly great about it ? no, I can pin point a lot that's wrong with it but in this day and age where great seems to be an afterthought for most publishers its really nice to just play a really good game.
 
We’re expecting this to be the final major update for Unbound, given both the existence of the Ultimate Collection — which includes the Volume 9 Premium Speed Pass — and the wording of the release that states that this update will be the “climactic peak of our live service journey”.

For anyone like me who's considering picking this up since the game is reaching its end of life & this bundle includes everything to my understanding, the Ultimate Collection is currently on sale through EA's Black Friday deals, at 80% off til' 12/2 taking it from $85 to just $17. Unbound by itself, is 90% off at $7.00.

Just bought the Ultimate Collection on PSN since its $19 down from $84 I'm hoping I like it has much as I do heat which I'm still playing today and I love.
 
I’m not gonna lie, EA has done a WAY better job of supporting this game compared to Heat and has given us an ample amount of things to do. I do wish they added a few things to Unbound that were present for Heat and I wish the offline mode was more elaborated (even though I hated the story)

Nonetheless, Unbound has slowly transitioned into one of my more favored NFS games over time. I can have fun playing this game for a good 4 - 5 hour run and not get bored compared to when I first got it, I had pretty much scrapped it once I finished the story mode in single player.

The bike is super fun to drive, its a shame its limited to a few races and the lockdown mode. Even if we couldn't use it in general S+ races, just using it in free roam would have been cool
 
Extracting Sonny's Civic and Vic's 350Z weren't fun at all.

Those things are slow as hell...

What's worse is when you're in a packed lobby and you know other people are doing contracts which involve taking down players... You just feel like a sitting duck in those cars! :ouch:

Before the last update, you'd end up in your own lockdown session if you switched to a private crew, but now you're far more likely to end up riding solo with rival crews. How it was before was way better for extracting hot rides.

I've heard disabling cross-play helps with the likelihood of ending up in your own session, so I'll give that a shot.

It does help, I'm still able to get into private lobbies.

In most cases, even if you think that you might be in a single session, there can be another player or two in their own solo crews, on their bikes. It sucks if you haven't jacked one before the match, not so much if you have one already.

In a case where I had a bike, there was a rival crew of two (presumably a private crew) who hounded me to open a lockup that I was in with my bike. But since I already have the BL car in the lockup, I opened the gates and let them take it.

Not that I took their truck later on when I see them approaching it on the map :D
