This has to be my favorite new car so far! It's CRAZY fun to drive; it's just so responsive and grippy! And it looks awesome as well, and it's cheap, and... well, I'll stop there, otherwise I'd end up with several pages' worth of text listing all the reasons I like this car. :)
 
I was all sorts of frustrated with it until I learned you have to get on the gas to keep the rear end in check when it starts to slide.

I absolutely love it. Most cars are faster on the straight while this one just kills everyone in the turns. I am very fond of light weight cars. p/w ratios are so much fun!

Amen! I personally drive two of the three of mine (I have one of each type available in the dealership, as well as a 15th Anniversary X-Bow that I got with the 15th Anniversary Edition from GameStop, but I don't drive that one much as I try to stay away from the 15th Anniv. cars) regularly, so I'm not sure which one I like more. When I'm driving the X-Bow Street, I prefer that one, but if I'm in an X-Bow R, then I like it more. So rather than trying to pick one I'll just say that they're both thoroughly awesome and the X-Bow as a whole is the best car I have so far... and that's coming from someone who just recently bought a Lamborghini Diablo GT3. :3
 
I do love the X-Bow. I was certain it was the most fun car in the game... until I tried the LCC Rocket. :sly:
 
The X-Bow just has handling characteristics I don't like. Yes, it's quick, but it's a classic MR. Massive lift-off over steer and massive on-throttle understeer. I'll give the X-Bow another shot when I'm back on a wheel.

I prefer the LCC Rocket because it's not as plagued by these problems.
 
I love this car, Super License event on Stowe with it is great too. ;)
Only gripe is that SRF is forced on and Brake Bias can't be set for 0 ABS on that event. :ouch:
The 15th Anniversary version is a riot to drive too, like a go cart on controlled substances!!! :dopey:

Cheap??? I got mine free as a gift :D
 
Can't say much about the driving as I haven't compared on the same tracks but the thermometer and every other dash instrument works. The rear hubcaps are modeled different from the fronts too so I guess I'll consider it a 'proper' premium.
 
This is my favourite car so far as well, just so much fun to drive. Try it with ABS off & brakes at 6/3, that's my preferred setting. I've mainly just been driving it round & round the ring 24 hour circuit, that's some epic awesome happiness right there! :D
