I have a "small" decision/dilemma

[Muhyoui]

I have 1.5M credits and I'm in desperate need of a faster vehicle. I've looked through the auto show, and see at least 2 potential options: Laferrari - 2013 Ferrari, and Venom GT - 2012 Hennessy. Which is better?

My first "very fast and reliable" car was the Mosler MT900, I recommend that for all practical purposes. Its very good around corners and can boast 270 crisply, or more (approx 300mph) with more absurd tunes. Its a staple in and around the game whether you're drag racing or competing in races, or using it for PR Stunts.
Best of all, they're very common and inexpensive at auction.

Only problem is that I don't tune my cars because I haven't a clue what I'm doing

With the mosler, theres not much tuning required to get something you can get results with. As for upgrades thats a different story, but different from Tuning which is what that big menu with the sliders is about.

AWD, and a Racing V12 engine conversion, racing transmission, and racing tires, 'sall you need with that car. Stock tuning is fine, you don't have to adjust the sliders a bit to get good use out of it, its why I recommend it to starters.

Slap parts on it that add green to your stats bars and you have an 999XXX car without any brainpower.
Elsewise, you can download a tune for free, though you'll likely run into the glitch tuned 300mph one that sinks into the pavement. You'll know it when you see it.

You can search in game for popular tunes, try a few of them.

Still they are way better than stock cars.

You don't have to tune the cars yourself, you can simply apply tunes from other players.

Overall speed. I need higher speed and very good everything else. I have my jeep for traveling.

my fastest legit tune is around 487 kmh but its more built for highway and it needs some runs to get into the handling. 599 xx evo ... 240 388 517 is the code for it. allrounder with 437 kmh is the maserati mc 12 versione corsa and the code for it is 534 771 432...apollo is very similar to the maserati and the code is 313 653 736

I'm seeing a bunch of options, but I'm thinking of the Laferrari, or the Porsche 918.

[Muhyoui]

Just realized the Koenigsegg Agera exists, any thoughts on that?

they re both worse as mc12 or apollo but the porsche is faster as laferrari for sure...

i only published 5 of my around 150 tunes but i share them by auctions if needed

edit:

i only tuned one:1, regera, ccgt, jesko, cc8s and the the agera rs :D guess the normal wasn t any special and thats why i didn t tuned that...good speed and handling is the ccgt

Porsche is also the cheapest at 850k instead of 1.5m, so I'm going for the Porsche
