i want get that achivement...

It's not about brute force, smooth clean lines will get you around quicker than some barely controllable monster.
Series 1 Typhoon (mod), getting low 1:30's, completely stock. OHV F great motor. USE slicks for the extra traction. It's a few seconds faster than vanilla, with better handling.
Lotus Elise i4, with all the engine bling and a nice close ratio 7 speed, is amazingly nimble.

I could give specs for monster builds if you want to try the brute force way,

Use the racing Pagani, if you have the DLC.

You definetly don't need a super car.

100% agree, picking something easier to control is the easiest way to get that sub-1:50 achievement.

In all honesty, racer boy achieve should be 01:20 time, as the above examples prove.

I wouldn't argue with you there, except that 'racer boy' to me kind of sounds like 'wannabe' - the sort we see trying to pretend they're hotshots on public roads in economy cars, lol.

Keep The HP At 400 Or Lower ..

I did it in a maxed out Lancer evo (workshop mod) on accident.

It's true what some people here say about monster cars - more power won't necessarily give you the edge. I'm trying to get the achievement too and built myself a 1.2k HP beast thinking the more the merrier, but all that did was make the car so fast it's completely uncontrollable. Skill is also relevant for this achievement.

300-500 HP and slicks will get you around in the 1:30's, it's not the best driving model so heaps of power needs a lot of practice.
Coast around the corners and only apply power only when the wheels are square in line and you should be fine.
1:00 can be broken in the Pagani's, Mclaren F1's and other hypersports but it takes a lot of work, best I've got is 1:05 but a friend can trounce me every time in the same car.

What is this "slicks" you mentioned? I beat the required time for the achievement a moment ago (barely) but still kinda want to improve my time, it was kinda fun. So what are slicks?

@SnakeWine
Maybe 'Slicks' isn't translating properly for your native language? But, in English, those are in the Tire shop named exactly that... 'Slicks.' If you're just asking what they actually are... they are the kind of tire used in real life on racing cars... like on the Dragsters. They actually melt a little when you start spinning out on them which makes them 'sticky' and they grip more. Watch some dragster vids on YouTube to see what I mean. In the game, they give the highest 'traction' rating.

Ah! Interesting, thank you for the explanation. I'll give the slicks a try on my next attempt at beating my own record.

Basically the more expensive the more traction, so faster off the mark and faster through the corners.
"Race" tires will do the job for the lower HP cars that won't get over 100mph/160kph, anything above that will need slicks if you want to drive them.
"Slicks" also have an affect on steering so on drag cars they can make cars to twitchy and hard to keep straight so use the cheapest tires on front for them.

[Mardoin69]

Good point. If I need to use slicks on a car, I only put them on the rear and just use the racing tires in front. Probably could even throw crap tires in front but, slicks don't work the best in front for steering really. Slicks are for the power driven wheels... which is usually the rear. That's also something you can see in a Dragster vid... they use regular tires in front.
