[[HS] Stetside]

Im looking to buy a new car....so i get one with a higher max speed or more horsepower ?

and what is the cars with: "max speed: -- "

Ignore the max speed, it means almost nothing, because it will be changed after you equip epic/legendary parts. Check youtube guides to find out the fastest/best vehicle in each class. This one might help:

Check the pinned comment, the game was updated since that guide was released.

UPDATE: he recommended to buy Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, but Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ Divine Edition is tiny bit better.

Open leaderboards, buy one in the top 50.

You can also have a look at the Crew Reddit as there's a guide on the front page with a list of the game's meta cars:

play weekly summits as you get nice rewards in cash and icon points and boosted parts..

look at leader boards to see who is using what...

depending where you are on the leader boards...
scrolling to the top can be a waste of time...

sometimes cutting a few seconds at a time is better
than aiming for something that is beyond your current
skill level....

i look at my time and times i want to aim for...
i am a casual driver.. i dont really have the drive or skill
to push myself into higher times.. i have had some
good teachers in game that have helped and
improved my skill...

when i grind i have cars specifically for bucks and icon points
or icon points and gold part.. when you have the parts...
New York HC is a great pay out but can be a hard slog if
you are just getting standard rewards...

youtubes are also good for tips and tricks on parts and summits and settings..

It would also be worthwhile, once you have decided on cars, to look at maybe adjusting the pro settings....they don't massively affect the car's handling but they can help make the car easier to drive or better at turn in. The first pro setting setup I used (admittedly in Motorfest) gained me 7 seconds in a Summit race vs what I'd done before....the car didn't feel much different but the subtle changes made a big difference.

Someone called Akor has done a video with pro settings for every car in the game...well worth checking out. I use their settings and have yet to encounter a bad one:

Also it's worth noting that you can still buy Season Pass vehicles, even if you don't own Season Pass like, for example, Ferrari FXX K in Touring Cars.
