Racer Boy Achievement - which car did you use?

[dogwalker1]

I don't worry about achievements much but this one coupled with the goofy driving was like a dare. Muscle cars were useless , and I don't play with the newer sports cars much... finally got it (57 seconds) using the DC Typhoon. (Easy does it on the gas, because braking at very high speed, even on the straightaway, is a guaranteed spin-out in this car - for me anyway!)

[not K 3]

I used ma Subaru Inpreza WRX STI

[Golly]

Still yet to get this, night try out k3rambos subi

I did it with a Salem Spectre SR , i tooks a bit training with the car handling (and no can configure the Gamepad :( , but its ok, important thing, make it count in the Second / 2rd Lap, because the flying start ;)

[Wolflyte]

Reptilia R2 Supercharged

[Revised_Mercury]

i did it with the reptilia r2 supercharged as well

After trying to do it with several +600hp cars, I was able to do it with the Katagiri Katsumoto xTEK with upgrades. Go for a flying 2nd lap, brake early and cut some corners. It should be in the bag!

[Sedition]

Yeah xTEK for me too, hugs the corners like a champ.

[durant11]

i used the xtek civic. got 59 seconds!

I took the Cobra (DC Typhoon) without anything speacial (fully restored barn find). The supercharged Mustang (Spectre SR) is not good controllable even on the straight and hard braking is bad in the game.

[Kowalski]

Katagiri Katsumoto, fully restored.

I didn't do it, but my cousin has done this for me (as I would have thrown the whole damn thing out of the closed window if I had try it any longer....)

He used a 4wd Mayen M3 with performance parts and slick tires. He tried it about an hour and a half and finally got under 1 minute.

He has a way higher frustration barrier than me I guess.

Yep, using a car with FWD or AWD seems to be the easiest way to do it. But I have only RWD cars in my garage..

I tried to get the achievement with my 520 PS Chieftain TBX, with the Elenti Callope (384 PS), I tried even with my stock Delray Custom, Dodge Charger and Rollett - fails only. Especially the TBX was a horror, totally uncontrollable. The Callope was fun to drive though, but I still failed.

Then I saw a customer job - Reptilia R2 Supercharged. I fixed it and decided to go to the track with it. It was such a nice surprise! I needed only a couple of tries and I easily got it.

I can only recommend this car for this achievement. Its still a bit challenging, but very enjoyable. And the car is powerful but steerable.

My race track deal? I Abandon it...I discovered the abondon airport, got me ported and polish raceing heads and other race preformance stuff going on in meh spectre! Have to use slicks to hold the road and now wide open crazy at the airport, woo hoo!

[FinementCiselé]

The game physics is quite too real for it to be really enjoyable. There is a thing that lots of peoples forget : the tires. Almost every tires on the cars are not existing in real for reasons : they are bad.

Some rules for the better handling of the car : don't go too low on the tires possibles, don't use oversized tires on low HP cars, there is clutch inertia and torque is important to not see your car goin' crazy on every corner, if you have a gamepad, remember to go progressive with the brakes and the gas because of the physics, and use a tire charts to find suitable "real world" race tires, don't go under 50 for profil as your car is not a formula one (tires under 50 are not good for the suspension) take LARGE tires and balanced for front and rear.

Trust me, with the tuning DLC you can go to 52secs, maybe even less with the M3 4x4.

[Supercraftsman]

I just did this after failing with lots of different cars. I used a Katagiri Katsumoto xTex with all the tuning parts fitted. It's not the fastest car, but it handles quite well and was the best option for me.

Good luck.
