Italian Exotics is just the best value imo, most cars and some interesting models in there.
Next best for me is probably between Lucky Stars and American Automotive as they have some unique models that stand out from what we usually see.
Worst is Fast X though, worst value per car and only the Flip Car is really unique (they all have really high PI too unfortunately which doesnât make them particularly versatile).
I donât particularly like Car Packs which are comprised of standard production models though as they leave a gap in the manufacturer roster. The Golf MK8, Ferrari 296 and Ferrari Roma shouldâve been in the Basegame imo and instead been replaced by some of the Ferrari One-Offs or special models (the Golf couldâve been something like the WRX Supercar as we have the Subaru equivalent in Hot Wheels).
I do think packs like the Lucky Stars and American Automotive (and European Automotive to a degree) are pretty much perfect though. They offer cars from lesser-known brands like Elemental and the Wuling Hongguang or other interesting models/variants like the Custom DeBerti Van and the S7 LM as a counterpart to the standard S7 in the Basegame.
Italian Exotics is the best by far. So many great cars in that pack, only one I donât care for is the DaVinci. The Super Trofeo and 296 GTB remain some of my favorites to this day. Great car pack.
Voted the very first new car pack as the best because it gave me two of my favorite cars to drive currently (the Emira and the Huayra R), but the Italian pack is a very close second (that Roma is so nice to drive, and the 296 feels really good with a 458 swap)
The worst? Probably the Fast X car pack. Real âthese couldâve been bodykit optionsâ energy from 4/5 cars in that one. At least the Chinese car pack looked more interesting.
I skipped the China pack. Maybe the cars are nice or maybe they arenât. I just didnât feel any connection 3/4 to and I just donât care about them.
The old Passat (Santana) was something but not quite enough to cough up even that small amount of money.
If the Car Pass can be counted as a one big pack, then itâs that for me.
I have historically purchased all the car packs, but the last one that had any value for me was American Automotive & I have not purchased one since. Fast X would have likely been a purchase if it had been the normal price.
Bought all except the Fast X one. The cars are too pre-determined and restricted in building to be of interest to me.
Overall the best one for me has been the Italian Exotic one. Simply a good ROI.
Most other packs had always one car that I absolutely wanted (Emira, S7 LM, AMG Hammer Wagon) or with interesting performance (Elemental, L&C 05+).
I skipped the F&F one really just because i thought it was cheeky to ramp up the price of these car packs and I thought they might do that moving forward. On reflection though that was more due to the licence fees and therefore I may just circle back and buy that pack. I do like those Dodge Chargers of various eras.
It is probably the worst one though as they arenât that user friendly apparently and the flip car that doesnât flip is irritating. At first glance I thought it might be the 6 wheel Tyrrell but nahhh. It wasnât.
I dunno which is the best. I look for eccentric cars with Horizon - or else competition cars - and each pack has at least one eccentric car I can engage with. Whether it be the Econoline, Altimaniac or Santana. I just dunno.
I guess the Altimaniac pack - partially because I had a good livery for that car. I might change my mind tomorrow though.
Thatâs a tough one because I find each and every car pack always commits the same annoying trope of only having one or two cars you actually want.
The best one Iâve bought so far is American Automotive, purely for the Saleen S7 LM and Czinger. My worst is probably Lucky Stars since all the cars apart from the Wulling ended up with pretty limited customization. Sure the Santana came with a plethora of engine swaps, but wouldnât it have been fun if it came with a body kit or something? Even a basic set of wheel arches like on the Skyline GTS-R R31 would have sufficed.
Best was Italian Exotics, that was worth its money and then some! that one was cheap at the Price given the Incredible Cars in it.
Worst⌠Lucky Stars, believe me, there are no words in the English Language (and that includes Profanity) that are Capable of Expressing my abject Fury and Disdain against and for anything that supports China, and I will leave it at that.
We need more packs like Italian Exotics, with really good Value for Money!
Itâd help progress the thread if you reminded people what cars were in which pack. In my head, some of these car packs blend into the wider car pool over time.
And it is true that itâs horses for horses. I like foolinâ about with passenger cars, more than, say, hypercars. I placed great weight in the VW Santana in the Chinese pack, the next guy wonât give a hoot about that pack. So I dunno. Just donât let yourself be mislead by this poll.
Iâll jump in here and try and give you some help beyond the obvious and generic âchoose what you likeâ line, if youâre looking for in-game performanceâŚ
The Super Speed pack is worth it for the Elemental alone, others are pretty underwhelming but the Elemental is capable of WRâs on certain tracks with the right tune.
American features the Trail Boss which can be a very good dirt/CC option in C-A.
Newest one Acceleration (wrongly titled Super Speed on the in-game store making it easy to confuse with the Elemental one) has a good S1 Hypercar in the Sabre and the Ginetta seems to make a strong dirt car though I havenât driven it myself.
EuropeanâŚeh the Hammer Wagonâs alright but thereâs 2 duds in the Continental and Battista.
Chinese isnât great overall, the Wuling EV is a total waste unless made into something ridiculous, Lynk and Co isâŚa car, MG Cybersterâs decent and a much stronger GT Car than the other EV in that car type the DaVinci, and the Santana has tons of options for builds similar to the Tsuru.
Horizon Racing has 4 pretty good cars, Huayra R is not top tier but fairly good for S2 Road/Street, Emira is a solid A class car, my S1 Titan time is in the top 100 with the Altimaniac, and like the Trail Boss the Saleen Sportruck is a very good option for B-A dirt/CC.
Fast XâŚignore it, inflated price for very little worth apart from the Impala.
Voted for Super Speed (the correctly named one) and Horizon Racing in the end.
Really comes down to Personal Preference and How you play the game.
Im a Livery Artist and also Amateur tuner and Track creator. I currently have over 920 Designs uploaded
So it was a no brainer that i collect any car that i can because i wanted to have at least One Livery for the cars.
At the moment i do have all cars currently in the game including all Wheelspin exclusives /Barnfinds And DLC cars,
except the Ford Deluxe Forza Edition (because i dont have the FH5 Controller)
Ford GT OPI Edition (i have no need for makeup)
And Owens P1 (im not owen, this car cant be owned by anyone but him, )
