Speed Car Gtr
DISCLAIMER
The following list of cars were tested by myself. However I will give credit to where credit's due. I took inspiration from ZombieHead3000 on his YT, as well as ISuckatDriving. Go watch their videos to get a better explanation of vehicle testing.
As always, these are all my opinion. So if a car is not on here that should be, or if you get outraged for not seeing what you like, then don't argue in the comments about it. I'm not always committed to testing to the very end on this dying game. I mostly do other stuff, like pictures or customizations.
Furthermore, all the cars tested have the same ultimate+ performance parts equipped. Other various parts like the suspension and brakes are equipped with the best variant (elite). If I say otherwise to use a specific variant, then I would label it in the build.
Lastly, the use of which forced induction system for the build varies. Most of the time, you'd use dual turbos for all race builds. But some cars can work with the single turbo for more power and hardly any drawbacks. It's best to stick with dual turbos unless I say otherwise.
Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8 '73
"Drifting is for the weak. We only do maximum velocity..." -Mid Night Club
Where do I begin... this car is just overpowered. It's been ridiculous since NFS 2015, and now Heat. It has insane mid and high speed acceleration. Handling is great, with very good grip and ease of overtsteering into corners. Although it may not be so responsive due to having to brake a little more in order for the car to oversteer, but the car seems to not lose as much speed when drifting.
It's just that good. However, a car this good is abused a lot in online races. So the next time you see someone pulling up to a race in an RSR, then we can conclude that he/she is a "tryhard" going for an Easy W.

McLaren F1
One of the greatest cars ever made, the McLaren F1 holds crown as the world's fastest naturally aspirated car in the world. And it's yours to play with for only $4.99 USD.
Anyways, the McLaren F1 is a very good contender to the RSR; very good grip, responsive cornering capabilities, good high-speed acceleration. The car, however, is prone to losing control at high speed corners, so do look out for that. Also, you might have to engine swap the V12 for a Forged 2.6L I6 for the best performance out there. Sad...
The only thing that's stopping this car from beating the RSR is the fact that it's a paid DLC car, but also the car being more likely to spin out as I mentioned before. Not too sure if it's worth spending $5 for one car. But you can turn your F1 into the F1 LM or GTR if that's your taste. Plus the DLC adds some extra races to do so you wouldn't find yourself bored of this game.

Pagani Huayra BC
"Supercars should be lightweight, functional, and beautiful..." -quote excerpt from Horacio Pagani.
The Huayra BC might arguably be my favorite car to use for four reasons:
1. The handling is very responsive and light. The car can really grip without a lot of understeer nor oversteer.
2. Able to drift with the tap of the brakes, unlike other cars where you would have to hold the brakes for a little bit longer for it to initiate a drift.
3. The mid-speed acceleration is very good, but the RSR, F1, and F40 having better high speed acceleration.
4. The car can utilize less gears, meaning that it'll be less problematic when up-shifting early like other cars with 7 or 8 gears which can early up-shift and stall the car.
The Huayra BC just feels right imo. It sure is expensive and the gears on the car are somewhat tall, but this is one of the only cars that doesn't require an engine swap. So lucky for you, you can keep that AMG 6.0L V12. Preferably swap for a 5 speed gearbox since the 6th and 7th gear seem pointless since it's tall. And you only need 5 gears to get you to top speed (around 235 mph).
I might as well say that this might be the best car in the game. If you're looking for a car that will treat you right in the handling department, then this is the car for you.

Ferrari F40
The F40 has one of the best acceleration in the game (apart from the RSR or F1). The high speed acceleration is very good, even at over 190 mph. It also has strong grip but it's not as responsive to braking like the Huayra BC. But both the F40 and Huayra BC are on-par with each other. It's just the F40 has better acceleration (even with the single turbo) overall and the Huayra BC favors a more responsive handling. So you can choose either of the two.
The only thing left to make this car have this much capabilities is to engine swap it with a 4.4L V8 or the Hybrid I4.

Ford GT '17
The Ford GT is another very good car that competes on-par with the F40 and the Huayra BC in their respect. If you're looking for a cheaper car to build out of the three, i'd say the Ford GT might be the answer.
With the 3.9L V8 from a **Ferrari 488 Pista**, (Ford vs Ferrari crossover), the 3.9L V8 seems to be the best of the engine swaps to choose from, mainly because of its wonderful gear ratios.
Other than that, the car is very responsive, able to drift easily, and the high speed acceleration is lovely. The only issue is that the car doesn't have the best grip, so it's not like the Huayra BC where it's very responsive but it can grip with little understeer. But if you master the handling of the GT, you might consider this a better option than the Huayra BC, and for cheaper too.

Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R (Hakosuka)
It's boxy; it's pretty; it's the car that started a whole generation of car fanatics in the years to come.
ハ コ ス カ [Hako - Suka] roughly translates to "Boxy Sky."
The Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R is the best JDM car in the game. It's a well balanced car that grips and accelerates with ease. Maybe not the best for off-the-line acceleration due to very short 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears causing the car to wheelspin, but at high speed, it's a different story.
The car also handles very well, with strong grip and ease to drift. It might not be as responsive as the Huayra BC when it comes to brake to drift, but it doesn't have problems oversteering if you need it to.
The only concern for this car is that it can up-shift early when in the middle of drifting. But if you drive in manual transmission, this wouldn't be an issue.
Build:
Engine: 577HP 4.0L V8 or the 599HP 3.8L Flat 6. (They're both relatively similar performance-wise. The V8 has a slightly higher torque output while the Flat 6 has more horsepower.)
Forced induction: single turbo or dual turbos. You can put either-or with both engines but what matters is the gearbox.

Mazda MX-5 '96 (Miata)
If you want the ultimate "sleeper" car, then the Miata is your answer. Never underestimate this little underpowered car, because it can seriously put a frown on someone in their 2 million dollar Ferrari.
The Miata is just quick to say the least. Combining high grip and fast mid and high speed acceleration equals the ultimate sleeper. It competes well with the Hakosuka Skyline, almost identically in performance in fact. However, the Miata doesn't get the title of the "fastest JDM car in the game" is due to its strong grip handling. You have to put on-road parts or whatever doesn't turn the car full race build, or else the car can understeer. But I think the understeer is due to the car's weak brakes, which makes the car feel a bit unresponsive to corners.
I'd say, this is an amazing car. Cheap and quick af.

Also want to mention while on the topic of Miata's that the 2015 MX-5 is actually good as well. It's almost identical in terms of handling, but the old Miata is quicker due to having better high-speed acceleration, even though both cars have the same available engine swaps.
And with that being said, the MX-5 shares the same build with the Miata.
Ferrari 488 Pista
Even though this car is unlocked once you 100% complete the game, it's still worth getting. the Ferrari 488 Pista is a more track-focused version of the 488 GTB. It doesn't have any visual customization apart from the wheels and the option to remove the stripes, but don't let lack of customization let you down.
The car is just good. Strong starting acceleration, good grip, good mid-speed acceleration. This car is very well balanced.
What's holding this car back from being the best Ferrari in the game is the fact that the Pista starts to fade away in terms of high-end acceleration. Also, the car does tend to understeer if you push it hard enough. You could equip it with on-road parts but the car would also feel like it doesn't corner as fast as it should.

Nissan 240 ZG (Fairlady Z)
The Nissan (or Datsun) 240z is amazing. It might be the best JDM car in the game... or 2nd best. It has strong mid and high speed acceleration, great handling with strong grip and ease to drift. It's perfect in about every aspect. Also Sung Kang (Han from Fast and Furious) owns one irl.
Why is this not the best JDM car in the game? Because the car has an awful launch. It has a ton of wheelspin. Other than that, once you overcome the launch, the car really takes off with its ridiculous high speed acceleration. So you can actually use either the 240z or the Hakosuka.
Build:
Engine: 308HP 3.6L V6
Forced induction: single turbo or dual turbo chargers. I opt for the single turbo because there's no difference in terms of acceleration and also more horsepower.

Lamborghini Huracan '18
To my surprise, the Lamborghini Huracan is a great car. I had my doubts in the past, but after a re-review of the car, I came to a conclusion that this car is quick.
It has strong starting acceleration, pretty strong high speed acceleration, and it's very responsive in cornering. Needless to say this is a great supercar if you're in the mindset of buying a supercar like the 488, R8, 911 GT2RS, etc.
The big problem with the car is that it can lose grip at high speeds. While it is responsive to brake to drift compared to other cars, the car does lose a bit of grip if you input too much steering. So it's best to lightly 'tap' the steering so that you don't go overboard with the steering response. Ideally, you could lower steering sensitivity all the way down and increase downforce all the way up, but the car still loses grip. But if you can master the car's handling, then this will be a top 5 contender.

Corvette Grand Sport (C7 Corvette)
Not to be confused with the ZR1 C7 Corvette, the Grand Sport can be customized. The C7 Corvette is a really great car believe it or not. Makes sense that the police force uses it at high heat because it can catch up to you. And not to mention it's the fastest American car on this list... so free cheers to the Corvette!!!
The car has very good handling, able to drift easily into the hairpin corners and also grip at high speed corners. It also has decent acceleration. I say decent because the car does lose out a bit at the mid-end, probably because of gearing.
Also, there's an option to swap for a more powerful 6.2L V8 (from the Corvette ZR1). While it is a viable engine swap, however, the performance between the ZR1 and the stock engine are nearly identical. Both engines have the same potential horsepower but the stock engine does make a bit more torque than the ZR1 engine. But if you like the sound of the ZR1 engine, then feel free to do so. Just note that you're paying nearly $550k for a different sounding engine.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX
Mitsubishi "Evil" 9: the Porsche RSR Killer???
Unlike the Hakosuka with great high speed acceleration, the Evo is great with starting acceleration, with an astonishing 0-60 time of under 1.70 seconds.
It fairs very well against the Hakosuka, Fairlady Z, and RX-7. Other than ridiculous starting acceleration, the car has very good handling, responsive brakes, and ease to drift. The car, however, is not what people call an "RSR Killer." Its acceleration might be the reason why. The Porsche 911 RSR just accelerates much higher at high speed. The Evo 9's high speed acceleration doesn't quite match the RSR, nor the Hakosuka. But on certain tracks with more corners and less long straights, the Evo will most likely beat the Hakosuka.
Also note that you need to engine swap it for a McLaren V8 instead of the forged version of the Evo's 2.0L I4. Both engines provide the same horsepower ratings (at current with both having dual turbos), but even though the forged engine has a higher torque output than the V8, the V8 gives the car a better high-speed acceleration as well as a more responsive, less grippy handling.

Mazda RX-7
The rotary-powered beast with a light-weight chassis. An icon to the 90's JDM world. A car that suits both race build AND a drift build with the swap of some parts.
The RX-7 is an amazing car with loads of customizations and great performance. The RX-7 is a very good all-rounder that can keep up with the top contenders if driven right. Its strong grip and high-end acceleration make for a strong contender for competing. However, for the race build, you might want to swap for a V8 rather than the forged rotary. But either or should be fine.
Comparing it to the Miata, the RX-7 doesn't seem to have the best off-the-line acceleration due to the short gears and wheelspin. However, the RX-7 does have slightly better handling than the Miata imo, mainly because the RX-7 responds much better when braking compared to the Miata. But keep in mind that you'll have to equip race tires for the RX-7, or else the car will horribly understeer.
And against the Hakosuka, it does have a fighting chance against it. However, the Hakosuka has better acceleration mid-speed. The RX-7 definitely fits in as one of the fastest JDM cars in the game.

Ferrari LaFerrari / FXX K Evo
The LaFerrari is surprisingly good in some respect. It has good grip with a mix of drift handling. Its mid-speed acceleration is very strong. Also, the car costs a million dollars less than its track-oriented version, the FXX K Evo.
The LaFerrari does show its weakness in terms of starting acceleration, as the car does have a lot of wheelspin plus its short first and second gears. Also, the car has a tall 7th gear which makes high-end acceleration weak compared to the F40 or 488 Pista, but it's not as bad as it may seem. Lastly, the car can be bouncy when going off bumps and curbs.
It's also worth mentioning that this car can drastically change its handling characteristics with a simple swap of a part. Swap for all track parts and the car will grip. But swap for all on-road parts and the car will have a drift-like handling instead of full grip.
It certainly is a good car if you were to choose a car from the "Holy Trinity". And considering it's much cheaper than the FXX K Evo. Overall, solid car with good grip and mid-speed acceleration.
Build:
Engine: can't swap the 949HP 6.3L V12 for any other engine.

And speaking of the FXX K Evo, I'd might as well put this car in the same list with the LaFerrari. Why? Because both these cars have identical performance. The only thing is, you need to be in a crew that's level 50 to unlock this car.
The FXX K does launch a tad bit quicker than the LaFerrari. But then again the car has the EXACT same performance as the LaFerrari, even if it tells you the FXX K can reach 1,400 horsepower. But the FXX K does have one unique trait: its grip handling. It doesn't understeer a lot nor does it lose grip, but it does have trouble oversteering when attacking a hairpin-like corner. The LaFerrari, even with its grip build, can drift. So the difference in lap time can be very small or big depending on the track; with the LaFerrari being a bit quicker than the FXX K Evo.
So if you want to try out a good grip car, then the FXX K Evo is the choice. Just remember, it's a million dollars more than the LaFerrari.
FYI: the builld for the car should be exactly the same as the LaFerrari, except all track parts.
Ferrari 488 GTB
The customizable Ferrari 488 (that you can dress up to look like the Challenge car or the GT3 car) is surprisingly quick. Despite the 488 Pista being the better 488, the GTB does have some perks worth mentioning.
For starters, the 488 GTB has great grip, with very responsive turning. It's easy to get the car to drift, and with a decent angle of attack compared to the 488 Pista. The GTB also has good launch, almost matching the Pista believe it or not.
So why is the Pista quicker around a track? Because the Pista has more grip, allowing it to grip through the corners at higher speed. It's also responsive; so it's not like a very grippy car where it struggles to corner. But it is rather slippery if you push the car too hard, similarly to the Lamborghini Huracan.
Overall, the 488 GTB is great. I'd say you can use this car if you prefer the GTB to the Pista,or until you finally 100% the game to unlock the Pista.

Koenigsegg Regera
The "One Gear Hypercar." The car actually surprised me to say the least. But don't judge a book by its cover, because being driven on only one gear doesn't mean this car ain't fast.
The Koenigsegg Regera is the car with the highest top speed in the game; able to reach a top speed of 245 mph, which is also the game's top speed limit. The stats does say it can go up to 254 mph, but that's a huge LIE. It certainly was the fastest car in NFS Payback, but in Heat, it's not so great. It's also good to know that you'll have to use a lot of nitrous if you were to reach the car's top speed, because the car struggles once it's at 220 mph.
The car does grip alright when set to high downforce, but the car's main problem is acceleration. Its starting acceleration is weak, since it only has one gear and the turbo doesn't spool at that low rpm. However, the mid to high-end acceleration is where the car is at its peak, unleashing all the 1500 horsepower at your disposal.
One also complication I've noticed with the Regera is that the car can flip when going over certain bumps or curbs. So do be careful driving at high speeds.
Build:
Engine: 1500HP 5.1L V8 Hybrid (stock engine that can't be swapped)
Forced Induction: turbo charger (stock variant that comes equipped with the car already, NOT the aftermarket ones which decreases horsepower). Alternatively, you could swap for a screw or roots supercharger to increase starting acceleration.

Porsche 911 GT2RS
The Porsche 911 GT2RS is quite good. It has very good handling, mixing responsive turning with grip. Starting acceleration is also great, with the capability to reach 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds.
The car, unfortunately, is nowhere near the pace of the 911 RSR. Despite its good handling, the GT2RS doesn't have the power at mid and high speed. It's almost comparable to the likes of the McLaren 600LT, both having good launch and poor high speed acceleration, except that the Porsche can drift easier.
So if you wanna use a Porsche in races, the 911 RSR is still the one to go with.

McLaren 600LT
The McLaren 600LT is a quicker version of the 570S, plus it has top-mounted exhausts.
The car has great launch, great handling that mixes responsive and good grip in one car. It's also the second fastest McLaren in the game, beating out both P1's but not the F1. So if you don't want to fork over $5 for a McLaren F1 but still want to drive a McLaren and be competitive, then the 600LT is your solution.
The car does come with its downsides though. For one, the car's acceleration dies out after 5th gear. Other than that, the car has great handling and launch. On tight tracks with majority of it being corners, the 600LT might be viable.

Lotus Exige S
The Lotus Exige S is a decently rounded car that can keep up with the top cars if driven right. It's a lightweight British roadster that doesn't impress people with underpowered engine swaps to choose from, but the car is quick.
Its basically a light car that can corner with ease. But the car doesn't seem to feel that way. The Lotus does have some bit of understeer, especially at low-speed corners. It's also not as quick to getting up to top speed, as it has problems once you reach 190 mph+. It is a good car for your buck, but certainly not going to impress a lot of people.

Audi R8 V10 Performance
"No one can touch me." -Darius
The Audi R8 is not a bad car to drive. It certainly is a quick car but it is not "untouchable" as what Darius claims it to be.
The main thing that shines about the R8 is the acceleration. It's powerful from the start and finish. However, all that power comes with one big problem: the car's handling. Since it's an all-wheel drive car, the R8 has some noticeable understeer around tight corners. It grips too much at times.
One solution is to replace either the suspension or the differential with a showcase one instead of the track version. But even with the understeer corrected, the R8 still can't quite touch the likes of the Lamborghini Huracan (another V10-powered supercar).

Honorary omissions
I've decided to put this down as special mentions of cars that are either missing out on being the top tier cars for racing or cars that are deceiving in terms of performance.
1. McLaren P1 GTR
Over $2.1 million for this track beast. Unfortunately, the car has this weird grip handling where it'll loose grip at high speeds. It's also hard to get it to drift just on brakes alone.Not only that but the car can understeer on certain corners (like downhill sections), even though the car is tail-happy. The only way to master the car is to lightly steer the car into corners. Setting steering sensitivity all the way down won't cut it. You have to tap the joystick or keyboard when cornering.
Concerning its acceleration, the 7th gear is very tall, making the high speed acceleration terrible. And no, you can't swap to a 6 speed gearbox, or it'll hinder the top speed.
2. McLaren P1
Speaking of the P1 GTR, the road car is more controllable to say the least. Unlike the GTR, the street car has very strong grip and will hardly ever lose control at high speed corners. However, the P1 is slower than the P1 GTR, because of its strong grip, lack of drift response, and bad gearing (from launch and final gear). It is possible to make the P1 better than the GTR, but it'll cost ya a P1 GTR engine swap to fix the awful first, second, and third gears.
3. Aston Martin Vulcan
Idk what to say about this car: it's just meh. Acceleration is not the best and the handling is decently good but can slide out. Worse of all, you have to engine swap to make it possible to achieve a 400+ performance rating. Better off saving that money for the Pagani.
4. Lamborghini Aventador SVJ
A more grippier Lambo than the Huracan that steers pretty easy with not much understeer. It's decently quick but just feels sluggish at high speed.
5. Lamborghini Murcielago SV
Speaking of grippy Lambos, the Murcielago is similar to the Aventador SVJ. The only difference is that the Murcielago does have a bit better acceleration, even with its stock engine. But it doesn't come close to the Huracan due to its heavy handling and tendency to understeer.
6. Lamborghini Huracan Performante
You might think that the Performante is better than the normal Huracan. Unfortunately, this car is really really not good. The AWD makes this car understeer a lot compared to the standard version (the LP-580 is RWD).
7. Nissan Silvia Aero Spec-R (S15)
Rather underlooked upon as a race car, but the Silvia S15 is a pretty decent car. The launch isn't great but it makes up for it in mid to high speed acceleration. Handling is also decent, with good grip and ease to drift, but the car can feel bouncy.
8. Subaru BRZ
Another underlooked car for sure. It is pretty damn good tbh. It has strong high speed acceleration and good handling, but it struggles off the launch with a lot of wheelspin. It's similar to the 240z but the Nissan does seem to corner better.
9. Honda NSX-R
The Honda NSX-R is strong on acceleration and can hit top speed in no time. However, the car has a strong grip handling, which may or may not be ideal for certain tracks. The reason why I didn't put the NSX-R at the top with its own page is because this car has a hard time trying to oversteer into the sharp hairpin corners.
10. Nissan GT-R
The Nissan GTR is a beloved car by many, but unfortunately this car doesn't hold a candle to being competitive. The same can be said for the other GTRs, like the Skyline R32 and R34 GTRs. They just lack the high-end speed and they understeer.
11. Corvette Z06 (C6)
The Corvette Z06 is fast. It does have a good gear ratio compared to the Corvette Grand Sport. However, the problem with the Z06 is that it can understeer. It just feels a bit heavier than the Grand Sport.
12. BMW M3 GTR LE '06
The infamous NFS Most Wanted hero car returns, but this time, EA actually tried to get the V8 and straight cut gear sounds right. Even though this is rewarded from completing the campaign missions, you might think it's as amazing as it was from Most Wanted 2005, but unfortunately, the car doesn't live up to the hype. The car is just average in terms of performance. Good but not the best of the best. Even worse is that you have to engine swap to make it better. But even then, the M3 GTR still doesn't have the capability to keep up with the top 10.
Still, it's a cool car with pretty decent handling, strong grip, and good mid-speed acceleration (with an engine swap).
13. BMW M5
Very underrated sleeper 4-door. It's like you can compete against an Evo. But as cool as this car is, the main drawback is that the car loses grip at high speed, and sometimes at low-speed corners as well. Kinda strange that a two ton BMW feels like it weighs half the weight because of its light and slippery handling.
14. BMW M3 Evolution II (E30)
This is arguably the best BMW to use in the game, and not to mention, the best starter car to select. Unlike the M3 GTR, the E30 feels more lightweight. It grips quite nicely and it has good acceleration. But there are other cars that perform way faster than this M3.
Conclusion
There you have it. The fastest cars in the game for races. Obviously I have missed some other cars that should be on this list. But there's just a lot to cover about them. And I don't have all the time to cover them in-depth.
As always, please feel free to leave a comment down below on what you think or what other suggestions you think I should add or improve on.
Thank you.
