    Id like to see a hoverboard with the ability to add weapons to it and make it the fastest in game. Make it solar powered & harness the sun, during the day can maybe have built in cloaking ability from the board. Hoverboard down the side of a mountain into an enemys camp and take out swarms of those bug things along the way.

    prob a dumb idea and I havent played the game yet anyway to know what would be fun to have in it.

    dude you guys trion and dodge have a deal together. the challenger is probably going to be the fastest car for quite some time. its called marketing. im even thinking about trading in my wrx for one. and im also enjoying blowing the doors off all the dunis running around even though the suspension travel on the duni is better

    It would make sense if it was like good for the first day of play or something, then you can find/buy a better one. But, best car I'm ever gonna have?

    So I can look forward to absolutely no car upgrades and seeing 50% of people using the same car as me...?

    What's up with that? lol

    Actually it is the second fastes compared to the black one you unlock from doing the vehicle pursuits.

    You know that you don't have to preorder to get a Challenger, right? I just bought a second one (orange) from the dealer you unlock by killing off the 99ers by the lake to the west of the processing plant fast travel spot. It was about $15K.

    all the challys have the same speed/boost. the preorder red does less damage. the stats you see when you look at buying a vehicle are its stats as if you had lvl 20 in that skill. I have the black, orange, and red challys so i know whats up

    Nice thread necro. But the Challengers in-game handle like the real ones do. Tons of understeer due to the roughly 4,500lb gross weight of the car.

    You can buy ALL these vehicles from a vendor and or even cheaper from a vendor sale. Heck, you can get a black dodge just by completing the races which are all super easy. Plus I have seen that orange dodge on a vendor several times now, really the jokes on the people who pre-ordered.

    It's not the fastest car cause it shares it's stats with the Black Dodge you get from completing the "Pedal to the Metal" pursuits.

    i think you'll find most people using runners actually, you never spend enough time on any road imo to use a car, and the cars are slow to accelerate and boost speeds them up less because they are heavy, i exclusively use the pro version of the bigger runner, i forget its name.

    or the white or the orange charger, even people that didnt preorder could attain the orange charger in the first day of playing if they wanted too

    Even the Orange Dodge is better then the Red pre-order one.

    Due to the screw ups With Pre-Order bonusses I had already saved up scrip and bought the Orange Dodge.
    So by the time I finally got my pre-order bonusses, the Red Dodge was already obsolete for me! :mad:

    I am pretty pissed about that really! As I bought the Orange Dodge after 3 days playing and got my pre-order bonusses on the 4th day! /facepalm

    If you have the Duni, that's not really an issue. I haven't run into a hill I couldn't get up with mine.

    the duni isnt bad, but its still wider and longer than the runners and boosts slower, the charger really does kind of suck tho, i just got the black one and have no desire to use it, its only good for running things over

    The Duni may be slightly larger and heavier than the Runners, but because of its top speed advantage - and massive boost duration/short regen - it will make your life a lot easier if you get used to driving it. A runner will keep up with a Duni over extremely hilly terrain, but won't overtake it. The instant that the Duni hits the flat ground the runner gets left behind.

    not sure - does duni actually have better stats then the orange dodge - could anyone showe up a comparison pic?

    And iv managed to get everywhere with dodge - in fact i conquered the highest mounain (the one that separates mount tam and Marin - above the clouds, could do 15 spins with crawler jumpign down from there lol).

    I keep buying all the cars i see on sale for 500 :D Colelction.. .but all the crawlers are soo inferior -_-
    And no variety - color is not variety. There is literally only like 4 cars without cash shop (cash adds liek what - another two?).
    Could have at least have decently more boost and speed on crawlers and more visual differences (accessories etc on the diff versions).

    you will notice how they are 100% on roads in that clip tho, the general lee as cool as it is would last long going over hills and through brush and rocks

    and arent we driving chargers not challengers in this game

    The stats page is completely fubar, but I've done some testing on my own - doing road runs from one end of the map to the other. The Duni routinely beats the Challenger due to the fact it maintains more speed through corners, while having a tighter turning radius with less understeer.

    The straight line speeds are about equal since the Challenger is faster, but the Duni can boost more often and for longer.

    yes theyre challys but its the same concept. and the challenger is still a *ucking beast offroad in this game. atvs dont really have much shields either. anything with splash damage and its game over

    I've never seen a car on specials sale yet, is there a vendor where they show up more often than others ?

    Yeah I do that now and then, fast travel, go to 3 hidden vendors etc. Just been unlucky I guess. Another question, do vehicles come in different colour scales like green to blue, purple and orange. Or are they not classed like weapons and shields.

    Ah ok, maybe that's something they could add, maybe even car modding for extra dmg, speed, resistance, boost etc.

    no I have seen 15k vehicles on shops (sometimes at random venders) that go a little faster.

    Saw an orange version of the preorder car on a random vender that was a little better in every stat than the preorder vehicle. I didn't buy it because it was a very small difference and just orange instead of red.

    The preview stats on vehicles at vendors are bugged. They don't show the correct stats.

    I bought that orange dodge, wish I never tbh, the sound effect of them is horrible imo.
