What cars have you used and how do they compare?

I started with the Miata and that took me all the way past the first group of bosses i then switched to the 180 sx and this was much faster than the miata, the turbo is awesome, used that to beat the Melancholy angel and have since switched to the RX-8 to try and finish the game out. RX-8 seems to clearly be the fastest available before you pass the xtra hard bosses.

what route did you guys take and what cars seem viable for what parts of the game so far?

I took the same route as you OP, but after beating the game I got a Supra and upgraded it, after several long post endgame runs, it's now 435hp and sooooooooo fast and fun to drive. I recommend using UEVR if you can, really fun to play with VR.

awesome i have not gone down the supra line yet but i definitely plan to. gotta break out the old headset and give it a go thanks for the recommendation.

I did Mazda Starter => BRZ => RX8 (which was fine)
Working on Suziki Starter => BRZ (Hey, I like it!) => S14.

I'm wondering if the starter only needs the T2 engine to be able to clear the first stage because I don't have enough CP to get the BRZ (yet).

i was able to clear the first stage with the 86 all tier 1 upgrades so you should be able to make it happen. good luck out there

I bought the GTO after beating the game with my RX8. It's pretty heavy and doesn't handle like the more nimble cars, but it's pretty fun and has good top speed when you get to a straight section.

The R33 GTR is my current favorite in this game, nice balance between acceleration, handling, and top speed.

Tried the Subaru R wagon'ish car, and R32 GTR. Ended up keeping the R33. Will try the Supra when I get the money to buy it.

AE86-86GT-S14 was my progression. Then I sold the S14 to actually have the S15 after Midnight Cinderella.

There's a bunch of other cars I've bought and upgraded with the current normally available parts but barely drove. Take these with a grain of salt.

FD RX-7- Incredible car. Will likely hold its own against the inevitable GR Supras/R35s
GC8 Impreza- Probably close to the RX-7 or matching it, can't tell for sure
Z33 Fairlady Z- not feeling this one much in corners due to the weight and feeling slightly underpowered
A80 Supra- sort of the same deal for weight like the Z33 but at least it has the inline-6 engine going for it for sound and power
R33 GT-R- seems alright, would not be surprised if the R34 is just a straight upgrade though
R32 GT-R- seems alright as well, but fully upgraded it doesn't seem to even hit the 400HP barrier
180SX- Just another Nissan S chassis. If you like it, keep it especially against a certain wanderer. But the S14's marginally better in power I think.

nice breakdown i appreciate all the detail, i really love that the FD is so rapid since its my fav car in RL. Stoked to have some new rides to check out in the full release.

And the sound, man, THE SOUND! Some of the sounds in the game aren't that great, but they nailed the howl of an RB26DETT. My Evo 5 turned out faster, but I still prefer driving the R33 because of the sound.
