Which starter junker to use in NFS Unbound, and when?
While the Lambo may look appealing from the start, there are a few caution marks. While it is fast, it doesn’t have great off-road capabilities, nor does it have the best horsepower. Nonetheless, it is a solid option for going fast.
If you’re looking for a drifting machine, the Dodge Charger is a strong option. It has great horsepower and can drift very well. The one drawback of the Charger is that it has the worst Top Speed among the three.
To keep it simple, drifters can go with the Charger or the Nissan Silvia should one want some more speed. If you want to keep it clean and just ride, go with the Lambo.
