Bad ride + great driver = win

I drive a Reflex NT with a mugen seki MT12 novarossi pipe and can't keep the thing off the sidewalls or roof.
Damn it's fast.

Best Nitro Car ?
How do we classify best nitro car ?
Is it based on experience or what we have/own, performance, price and etc. It is not very clear to me what do we mean best.
thanks

Easiest to set up, tune and drive...
Of course this depends on the driver :lol: Even the worst kit at the hands of Kinwald will rubbish a Type SS in my hands
I lost a race to a humble Bergonzoni Brave 2 - I was driving a souped up Technokit and the jap bugger snotgrassed me all over the place!!
All kits are great unless they royally suck...

The cars listed are all top contenders and could win majors races any day!! But have a good car is only part of the equation for winning races you got to develope your driving skills first. Each car listed has different handling characteristics select a car that is going to complement your driving style.

I concur...
Driving skills are the most important thing...You can make a rubbish kit look good with some sensible driving techniques...No use having a 0-70mph in 6 seconds beast and then forgetting to brake at the end of the straight...or weaving down the straight because you hit the gas too early comin out of the corner...
I have raced my Type SS (Beast Engine on short straights because it hits 35k rpm quicker than any engine out there) but there were guys with slightly slower cars but they were better drivers who kept a line that allowed them to turn in before me and take the best line through the corner while I struggled to put the power through the corner...
Needless to say I learnt in double quick time...drive and learn to drive by watching those around you...
