Default Recommendations for good stable Top Speed Challenge Cars

I'm having trouble with some of the Nevada Top Speed Races as I crash n burn a lot, can anyone recommend a good stable motor for these races?

the 911 or the f1 is the most stable car... then its the murcialago and the GT3rs are 2nd best at stability

It's not only the car on Nevada Top Speeds, you also need to learn where the bumps are to back off otherwise any car is goingto get launched into the air.

well the 911 ya only need to very rarely lift off so i would go for that as for the F1 i have never tried it BUT a very kind soul has sent me one so when i have the stupidly high amount of cash i will be trying that one out...
and on a slightly more funny note...i have been using an AE86 for the autoo bahn and soo far have gotten as low as 58 seconds for the short speed challenge and a 986MPH!!!!!for top speed...in an f ing corrola!!!!!!its insane,,,lol
best of it is that its not to twitchy on NEVADA so i am gonna be using it to take down the speed king...when i unlock that part of the game...lol

After trying the Zonda, Lambo, R35 Skyline, Evo and The Porsche, my best Speed car was the Skyline R34. It's extremely responsive and has plenty of speed. Agree about the road bumps... I had some amazing crashes when I got these wrong!

This is what's lacking most no replay and crash capture. I had this fantastic Crassh where i spiraled in the air for about 400 yds, but hey no one else could see it. It was spectacular.

oh i agree that there are much better car to use but when you have done over 3,000 ranked races online you get bored of using the same cars....so i was challenged by a friend to use the lowest BHP car i could to beat the speed king...the ae 86 only has 294 bhp...so its the lowest i have found that still does keep up with much more powerfull cars...making my game more fun...if i wanted just flat out speed i use my lambo or my F1

yea when you have the assists turned off they don't slow the car down lol
