Why so grind??
What is wrong with this game?? Why does the races give a very little amount of money? I mean I am level 14 with about 115K money (yeah I lost most of them in the ridiculous busted system) and most cars are very expensive. There is a Ferrari cope 84 which is 255K and its class is 165. Why the hell should I buy such a car? (at the moment I have a BMW KS 18 with 217 class.)
Am I missing something??

No, actually FH5 is my first game in the series. Now, I have to ask what's wrong with you?!

Every car can swap engines and eventually get into at least the high 300s.

Honestly there's no reason to buy more expensive cars other than to look cool. Many of them are pretty bad, though the Regera, Ford GT and Huayra are decent. A lot of meta cars are cheap.

The BMW KS i8 is a very decent starter car, has AWD for stability and can swap to a better hybrid engine for a fast 0-100. Pretty good car for farming Ultimate parts in the endgame.

Thanks. I didn't know we can upgrade almost all cars to around 300. So, I can stick to my current car and upgrade it until I have enough money to buy Regera, Ford GT or Huayra.

No wonder you're complaining. FH4 and 5 have the worst progression in the series, not even sure if you can say there's any progression at all since you are handed Lamborghinis and Bugattis left and right 15 minutes into the game.
Need for Speed thankfully still values your journey, so awards aren't handed over to you as if the player was a toddler. The cops are ruthless and you will get busted early into the game, so you need to play your cards right and know when it is time to call it quits when risking it all at night.
Basically, NFS Heat brings back the excitement from engaging in cop pursuits, the risk is what makes it fun and engaging. If you think this is unfair and not fun and that it should change to fit your standards then I suggest you look into other games.

Buy what you like honestly, but if you're curious you can look at Orchan's spreadsheet[docs.google.com] for leaderboards. Just avoid D tier and below. I tried cars in that range like the BMW Z4 and the Acura NSX '17 and escaping from cops is so much harder with them. C and above is generally fine.

I didn't say I don't like it. Actually the street race in FH5 is not as fun as in NFS Heat especially in the night (as you mentioned). I was just complaining about why everything is expensive in comparison to my money.

Thanks. I look into that.

To play a game, must become Master to start a real playing. Everyone must spend long hours training to be a Master in every game. It is a must.

The amount of money you make a bit later into the game increases a lot so don't worry about not making big bank so early into the game. I suggest clearing the main campaign as soon as possible and then focus on performing strings of night time events that end with High Heat races once you get a decently upgraded car.

I'm sorry but have you actually PLAYED other racing games? This is normal and not an issue that you make it out to be. In The Crew 2 you have to grind A LOT to even get close to a supercar. I have 100 hours in-game and still no supercar that can be used in a supercar race.

You're not supposed to race supercars as a new player. That's called progression. You level up as you go and progress to more expensive cars. Just upgrade your current vehicles.

Technically the BMW i8 is considered a Supercar 😆

The progression is much easier in Forza Horizon 5 especially with wheelspins system where you have the chance to win a supercar (I got a very expensive car there early in the game).

There were three cars in my garage at the beginning of the game which one of them was BMW i8. The other two are Chevorlet K.S and Mercedes K.S 18.

Uh, I was able to get numerous supercars on TC2 in at least 10-12 hours, as well as defeating bosses. It's really not *that* difficult.

You bought this on sale right?

There should be a Lancer in your garage that the game gives you. I switched to that, tuned it with the money I had, and never struggled to win any race (on hard btw) until I got my Lotus. Then it was really over.

Also I have a lot of my cars tuned to Racing (Away from drifting.)
