Need for Speed Underground: Car Performance Ratings

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you're wondering which car is gonna be the best bang for your buck in Need for Speed Underground, right? This table breaks down how each car performs in three key areas: Acceleration (Acc), Top Speed (Top), and Handling (Han). We're looking at three stages: how it comes right off the lot (Stock), after you've slapped on some Level 3 upgrades, and then the absolute maxed-out beast mode with a Level 3 Engine, ECU, and NOS. All these numbers are in pixels, which is just how the game measures these stats. Think of it like this: higher numbers are generally better, especially for Acc and Top Speed. Handling is a bit more subjective, but you'll want a decent number there for those tight corners!

Nissan Skyline R34	38	86	48	133	149	127	147	150	137

So, what's the takeaway here? If you're just starting out, cars like the Volkswagen Golf GTI or the Mitsubishi Lancer have pretty low stock stats, meaning they'll feel sluggish. But look at how much they improve with upgrades! The Lancer, for example, goes from a measly 5 Acc to a massive 150 when fully kitted. On the flip side, cars like the Nissan Skyline R34 start with really high stats – 38 Acc and 86 Top Speed – and they just get even better. For pure speed demons, keep an eye on the Top Speed column, especially when you get to the fully upgraded stats. Cars like the Toyota Supra, Nissan 350Z, and the Skyline R34 all hit that sweet 150 Top Speed. Handling is also crucial, especially on those twisty tracks. You'll notice some cars, like the Dodge Neon, have lower handling stats even when upgraded, which might make them a bit trickier to control around sharp turns. It's all about finding that balance between raw power and how well you can actually steer the thing!
