I took one look at the HP range of the typical opponents in the Sunday Cup and saw a 60hp car wasn't going to cut it. I bought a Corolla RUNX from the used car lot and blew them away. They all drove like their throttle pedal would only go 25% of the way down. I could have destroyed those guys on foot lol.
It never a car I would normally look at, it's sort of like a Civic Type-R but a bit shirt (minus the r)
Anyone else try to start with a Kart, then realize you need to be level 1? Then have to start with the cappucino and struggle to win the first few races? And after you win those races, realize that they give you a kart for free? I did lol
Mazda Eunos Roadster. My standard GT starter car. 👍
Now has 229hp, but I've kind of outgrown it. Even the ZR1 I just bought doesn't seem fast enough for some races, but it's still stock...
I started off with a Suzuki Swift '05. Premium car, good performance, and has cool headlights too . On another note, I'd say NEVER EVER begin with a Cervo. It can be cool, but it's slow, and it's a net loss. (What I mean by a net loss is that it is a slug and it will likely finish last in most races, even when tuned.)
I too started with the Suzuki Swift, but the '07 not the '05. Not a bad little car, always did like them. Of course, at this time I didn't realise I could get a premium Civic Type R...
