Arcangel or regular car

[mpegforever]

Sorry am not an expert yet, so the question is: once I build The Jack Arcangel, should I use that to continue the game or stick to my regular car ? Pros and Cons ?
Thanks!

I personally don't find much use in the ArchAngles, and I only build them for the 100% statis. I like the regular car more because it gives me more flexability

Archangels are kind of a waste of time except for completion. It's best to build your own car to find a niche you're comfortable with.

Barring a misson or two where you're required to make use of one (and the achievment or challenges) the Archangels are largely pointless. Their stats and part lists are all over the place and defeat the purpose of what they were originally intended to be; basic examples of playstyles you could use as a simple template and build up off. inspiration. But since the give and take when it comes to vehicle stats are very, very forgiving you can simply slap on most top end parts and be done with it.

tl;dr Don't bother with Archangels, Upgrading the Opus as you see fit will always end up better than any Archangel in the very situation they're supposed to fill.

On teh 2nd playthrough I noticed the Arcs are what CHUIM thinks are Ideal car models, and I am going to race/defeat oppenents in each one this time.

The Archangels are a confusing part of the game. They really aren't appealing when compared to your upgraded Opus.

The only possible exception is the Speed Demon which is a quick way of getting a super fast cars for races without downgrading your Opus for the same purpose.

I agree with what you all are saying about the Archangles, but re- this quote... doesn't that mean everyone's car will just end up looking the same. I've cycled through the different car bodies available for the Opus and they all kinda look the same. Not identical, but nothing like the Archangels

They seem to be more for the death races

Thanks everybody for the comments !
Now..for the races, is actually this Speed Demon faster then a fully upgraded Magnum Opus ?
Ciao!

If you take off ramming grills and armour, then it's just as fast.

Basically, archangels are pre-set configurations of the Magnum Opus that you have to build yourself. Like a template.
