I had to reformat my hard drive and all my wonderful cars were gone. I had a nice looking Celica and Civic in there. For power, I got the RX-8 and it was badass. I had it look like Suki's car from Too Fast Too Furious. Pink with all the nice trimmings, hehe. Now I don't even have the game installed. But for racing, the Celica was the best car in the whole game. I've beaten the game twice with it already. Started out with a Civic and modded just one other car: Toyota Celica GT. Excellent handling. You can adjust the car's performance for each race though by going into the garage.
