What car fits your playstyle?

Por Andreas444

More or less I`ll describe each car`s pros and cons and what playstyle does it fit best so that you can buy it and drive it.
This guide is mostly towards newbie drivers,but your average FlatOut fan still should get something out of this...I think.

I`m not a professional player,I`m your average player who just enjoys the hell out of this game and decided to play the game extensively with almost any car on the grid in the Career/FlatOut mode.
Also,I do not have a lot of experience with some cars on the grid,so expect me to mostly talk about the cars I have an extensive practice with.
And finally,DO NOT take this guide too seriously,and don't be salty if I insult a car that you like.

Playstyles

To make my life easier a little bit,I decided to put each car where I think they fit for a main playstyle:

Passive: Cars usually are weak and can't put up a fight,need a lot of patience to win races or derbies with. And you should never bump into the opponents or let them bump into you.

Passive Aggressive: Wait for the perfect opportunity to strike at your opponent to damage them and take some nitrous too along the way. Hit & Run

Aggressive: A death machine,hits hard,drives hard,dies hard. Kill or be killed.
(FYI If I put a car in this category that doesn't mean you are allowed to drive recklessly and wreck yourself instead.)

Derby Class

1: Chili

Skill level: Easy
Playstyle: Passive

Pros:
-Can get through tight spaces no problem
-Great handling

Cons:
-Fragile
-Poor top speed
-Underwhelming acceleration

Will forever be the underdog of this class and also a pest on your side cause Sofia drives it.

2: Malice

Skill level: Easy
Playstyle: Passive Aggressive

Pros:
-Can take some heavy hits
-Great handling
-Decent acceleration

Cons:
-Terrible top speed
-Can barely get nitro

Not much to say about the Malice,fun car to drive,but in the later stages it will be tougher to even stay in the top 3 in races. The best starter car in it`s class imo.

3: Roamer

Skill level: Easy
Playstyle: Passive

Pros:
-It`s a brick

Cons:
-Everything else
No really,it`s actually a terrible car,can't even keep up in the later stages,it`s only purpose are on demolition derbies BUT there is the thing,there are vehicles in this class that can BOTH race and crush the opponents in demolition derbies.

4: Shaker

Skill level: Easy
Playstyle: Passive Aggressive

Pros:
-Good acceleration
-Can both do and take heavy hits
-Good handling

Cons:
-Can understeer in some situations
-Nitro dependent so you need to be careful when you use it
-Poor top speed

One of the toughest cars to destroy in this class,and Jason driving it,oh boi,it can get worse if he focuses his sight on you specifically. Quite a bit too slow for my liking tho.

5: Blaster XL

Skill level: Easy
Playstyle: Aggressive

Pros:
-Excellent handling
-Can crush everything in it`s path
-Decent acceleration

Cons:
-Underwhelming top speed

One of my favorites from this class,but unfortunately for me,this car makes my Career a bit too easy,cause you`ll have next to no challenge when you drive it.

6: Banger

Skill level: Easy
Playstyle: Passive

Pros:
-Good acceleration
-Decent handling

You`ll probably come to hate this car cause of Jack and how incredibly annoying he is to race against.

7: Splitter

Skill level: Easy
Playstyle: Passive Aggressive

Pros:
-Great handling
-Good acceleration
-Jumps are relatively safe
-Decent top speed

Again,I don't have much to say about this car just that it`s engine sound is awful to listen to...

8: Switchblade

Skill level: Medium
Playstyle: Aggressive

Pros:
-Great acceleration and top speed

Changelogs

Edit 1: Added Daytana in the Race tierlist as i forgot to add it initially.
03/05/2021

Edit 2: Small changes in the Road King and Bullet GT descriptions,will probably replace the current BGT top speed screenshot once the game decides to work normally once again.
No promises there.
08/05/2021

Edit 3: Changed Bullet GT`s second screenshot with it`s accurate top speed which is roughly 347-350 KMH. And some texts too.

The FWD understeering problem... How about you POWERSLIDE using BRAKES? I'm using insetta/insetta sport right now, and I have no issues with understeering. That's just my opinion of course, but consider this.

Serendipity!? 25/dez./2024 às 7:44

I tried the Vexter XS on the basis of this guide and was not disappointed. What a shed!

Great guide.

SymphonyNo28CoTkin 10/dez./2024 às 16:42

Does the weight in this game matter for more acceleration and maximum speed? I compare the Road King and Bullet GT for example. Their parameters are almost the same, except for weight and Strength.

The Ottoman Lobster 1/ago./2024 às 2:26

yeah...... idk why i remembered it that way. I was gonna delete the comment anyway but i got too lazy to find it. Still, fuck sofia martinez, all my homies hate sofia martinez

Andreas444 [autor(a)] 25/jul./2024 às 5:20

Not sure where you got that info from but I assure you,the AI always drives the same cars as always,no matter what car you buy lol

The Ottoman Lobster 25/jul./2024 às 4:51

you forgot to mention, when you pick canyon in street league, sofia martinez (the annoying girl who takes "pride" in driving clean in a damn derby race) drives ctr sport instead of her usual canyon, which means you have the tankiest car in the race where 2 opponents drive really weak cars. Though you will still have johnny walker to deal with.

Andreas444 [autor(a)] 25/jun./2024 às 1:49

No problem,at the end of the day,doesn't matter what car you choose to play with as long as you're having fun with the game,can be the worst one but who cares as long as you are enjoying the game. I might update this guide in the future to include top speed of each car when you don't put Strength upgrades as I recently found out that your car gets faster if you don't upgrade it's Strength,for both FO2 and FOUC. It's not recommended but it's for players who are already familiar with the game and want a better challenge alongside better top speed.

MAYOOO 24/jun./2024 às 6:23

this is so dope, thank you for your contribution to the community dude. grew up playing this game

PTLD_93 29/fev./2024 às 2:31

In my opinion i would put Splitter in A tier because i was able to finish all cups from derby class aswell as the Derby finals with it,it has good Acceleration,Handling and Decent top speed,plus the only derby class car with 5 speeds,usually i struggled with acceleration with Shaker and spun out too many times with the switchblade,when it came with Splitter,it solved all of my problems and i was able to complete the Entire derby class with it and i never had a problem with racing on it.
