looking at the car packs, they’ve done a pretty good job balancing them. they’re all equally mediocre
I think the top overall performing cars are the Chevy Trailboss for dirt/cc and the Elemental RP1 for asphalt.
those two cars generated a lot of excitement when they were released, and a lot of very good players set some great times with them. top 100 stuff.
to be honest we haven’t had that from a car pack lately. so there’s your answer, the two best cars come from the American Automotive and the Super Speed, plus everything else in those packs is not bad (except the Deberti Econoline, which is the cool, useless collectible)
Bringing this thread back to life (sorry) just to say that the newest car pack is definitely the worst one yet. 10 dollars for a Firebird, 3 Deloreans and a Jeep. The most “these could’ve just been visual upgrades” DLC pack ever. At least the Fast X pack came with 1 new car (that’s pretty lame because it can’t do what it’s supposed to do but still)
The DeLoreans from BTTF and BTTF 2 are barely even different each other sans one extra part on the BTTF 2 version. The DeLorean from BTT3 obviously has the most cosmetic differences, but they all just make it an slow and heavy car even slower and heavier. The Jeep from Jurassic Park also feels like a misstep, because I’m sure, if anyone even thinks of car when it comes to Jurassic Park, it’s the Ford Explorer during the T-Rex scene. Also, based on what I’ve seen on several different outlets (here, Reddit, and YouTube), the KITT in-game is missing a few cosmetic parts as well (I honestly wouldn’t know, 80s Knight Rider was well before my time).
I didn’t care for the Fast X pack either, and thought the price was a highway robbery job too, but I still bought it because at least 3 of the 5 cars were new, you can at least say the Z is a Datsun and not Nissan, and Dom’s Charger is obviously too iconic not to include. It should have been included more cars for the price (and better yet, actually release the same time as the movie), but I’ll take it over this other movie pack anyday. It was a bad idea from the start, and shame on everyone from development involved wasting their own time and following through on it to waste their players’ money. I’ll only ever buy if it goes on sale, and that’s only because I made the fool’s mistake of wanting to collect every car in the game. Easy in Horizon 4, a fool’s errand several times over in Horizon 5.
Also, the James Bond pack from Horizon 4 blows both of these packs away. Easily.
Not a huge fan of any of these, really. At least the the the Fast and Furious pack gave us a 1970 Charger and the Impala. Too bad they didn’t offer stock versions of the cars as well. A stock 1970 Charger RT would be a great addition to the game. I couldn’t care less about the Italian pack or anything with Hypercar junk in it. My opinion.
