NFS World - Caterham R500 Superlight Review


First thing first, the car comes with:

- Norset and Richter tuned parts, giving it an overall HAT rating of 800 (815 888 697) from its stock rating of 731 (692 864 638)
- two-star usual set of skill mods 



The Review:

Top speed wise, It only does 330 km/h (204 mph) with the parts it comes with. It's quite frankly-- low for an S class car that it's not advisable to take it in highway tracks, as it will end up getting beaten by players in Cinques and Aventadors.


Acceleration wise, THIS THING IS FAST. like, really fast. Its acceleration has a lot of torque and is on par with the Cinque. It also comes with cosmic nos if you might ask.


Handling wise, this thing is a serious go-kart. It turns really well although it has a lot of oversteer and will spin out very easily. Thanks, torque! On the bright side, its handling makes it one of the best cars for technical tracks and its torque helps after a corner.


Price wise, At 6,900 SB, this is, well frankly, surprisingly cheap for an S class car. No need for any more explanation. 



Aftermarket Details:

I don't like bodykit to be honest, it's quite ugly IMO. But I'm not going to stop you if you are installing it though. But I gotta warn you that 3,450 SB for a bodykit is NOT cheap.

Other Notes:

The Caterham Superlight is quite possibly the first super-lightweight sports car (the other cars of the kind featured in NFS series are the Ariel Atom 500 and BAC Mono) in NFS World, and no doubt, it's very fast in terms of acceleration.

The car is kind of like the Lotus Elise and Porsche 914-6 GT in terms of weight. Just like these two, this car is very light and thus, one of the worst cars for pursuits. Itwill get pushed by cops very easily and stands no chance against Rhinos either if you run up getting the misfortune of hitting one. Oh, and the usual annoying traffic as well.

It's also worth noting this is the first non-special (or base) edition car to come with two-star skill mods.

I hope you'll enjoy reading this as much as much as I do. Critiques & comments are always appreciated!

NFS World - Ford Police Interceptor Gameplay


Okay, sorry for not uploading this for a long time. This thing took me FOREVER to upload. I was originally planning to upload it by the end of the day when the rental was released-- and guess what? this thing took me 200 freaking minutes for it to upload. I gave up but I just tried reuploading it just now.

Anyways, enjoy!

NFS World: Pagani Zonda Cinque "Sleigh Runner" Review

I've bought this a few months ago, but I decided to give it a review just now.

This thing is fast. I gotta say. It'll do 354 km/h (219 mph) with pre-installed Gromlen tuned parts. Not as high as a Reventon or a Aventador though (it's only a few km/h away actually). But still, It's a joy to drive that fast.

Acceleration wise, THIS THING IS SERIOUSLY FAST. Its acceleration is immense, much faster than similar cars such as the Aventador or even the ol' GT2 997. Ultra tune it and you'll trash the entire competition. Including drags (because this car is already a drag edition car). It even comes with cosmic nitrous if you're a fan of it.

Handling wise, It handles seriously well. Far better than the ol' king, the GT2 997, It grips, a lot. Although there are some hints of oversteer though.

Price wise, At the moment of writing, the Sleigh Runner is currently unavailable. It used to be available for 9,200 SpeedBoost before it got retired on March 15th, 2013. Its stock edition is, however, available as an on sale car for 4,800 SpeedBoost. I'd highly recommend you that you get it right away (I hope that you have the boost for it though) since it's one hell of a car.

Other mentions:
No offense to you guys though but this thing is the MOST OVERUSED CAR IN THE GAME. Cinques are literally everywhere. S class races, Team Escapes, or even in Free Roam. You see them everywhere. EVERYWHERE. It's SERIOUSLY IRRITATING. I would personally remove the livery as well as the AM parts (which I did). It's frickin' ugly. And hideous.

The bright side: Again, it comes with Gromlen tuned parts, as well as 2-star drag skill mods. Plus, it comes with Aero Drag skill mod, if you might ask. I usually trash the entire drag competition due to it. The only problems with it is that it generally has some sort of "gear drop" problem that slow the car down by a good bit. In pursuits, it's quite light, in fact very light, that I would personally do not recommend you that you use it for pursuits. I only use it for drags though, so mind if I don't get it.

(tl;dr version) First thing first, THIS THING IS FAST. Its top speed (with Gromlen tuned parts) is 219 mph/354 km/h and comes with 2-star drag skill mods. Its acceleration is immense. It handles seriously well. It's also great in drags as well.

Rainbow Dash is the best pony. I'm out.
