Looks like you'd expect. Awesome-looking car that would look tons better with some new rims. Sounds ok, is very powerful and quite tail-happy in the first few gears. Steering response is slow and suspension is soft like you'd expect. Interior looks good.
Dodge Charger Super Bee (G class)

AWESOME CAR, SOUNDS awesome, goes like a bat outta ****, Interior is sweet, has a Hurst 4 on the foor , sweet rims, Atari actually put real Mopar colors at the stock painter (not like the challenger ) With hardcore mode it's my favorite car in the game

Yes, brede notified that in his post.

I didn't like the Holden as much as I thought I would, it was too big, it didn't sound well, it was kinda slow.

Boring car.

Gotta check the super bee though :D

Anyone benchmarked the efijy's 0-60? It should be in the 6 seconds. You think for a car with 625bhp it'll be in a higher class.
Got to say though, even though the dials don't work I love the interior

Well I've had a good try of all the DLC and my impressions are as follows:

Chrysler Crossfire: It's a Chrysler, there's nothing to see here folks, move along please.

Dodge Superbee: It sounds beefy but the suspension is made from sponge and you'd get more grip from Ghandi's sandals.

Ferrari 308: Not very quick but the handling is sharp and just the ticket for a leisurly top-down cruise in the old 80s garb.

Ferrari 512TR: A monstrous, flat slab of metal with sharp bits sticking out everywhere but I think it looks just great and goes like stink.

Holden Efijy: I actually quite like this. It sounds great and handles pretty well for a big heavy thing. When you get a full head of steam it's great for ramming AI traffic out of the way.

Spyker Spider: The pick of the bunch. Great acceleration, top-end and handling. The Spykers look great too (from the outside) and this is no exception.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX12-R: Just brilliant, sounds and looks fantastic and when you tune it the acceleration is astonishing. My stunt bike of choice, great for getting huge air If you ripped the muffler off to use as a weapon you could do some real damage with it!

Eden have done a fantastic job with the models and rendering on these cars and it seems that more effort has been put in to ensuring that there are no glaring glitches such as missing engines or heads sticking through the roof etc. Pity about the Holden rev counter as has been mentioned before, would have been nice to see this in action.

I've had a bit of a change of heart, and im re-doing my 512TR review...

Ferrari 512TR:
let em just say i think it's ugly. i may be alone on that opinion, but it is. its got huge unnesecary side vents, a cardboard box back and a wierd vent chin thing on the front. it has wierd steering-it's understeery, but can be way too direct at low speeds- so sticking to a single road at 20 becomes difficult. its got a lower acceleration rate than it should. it isn't a good car...but yet. yet i like it, wierdly enough. It shouldn't be this nice to drive. When your going for it, it becomes a good car to drive. i don't like it for the looks and the handling and it takes 5 minutes to overtake, but yet there's something about it, one factor which makes it a good car. it's got something which makes you enjoy driving it, and i reall dont know what. but all i'll say is there are better cars, faster cars, more grippy cars but this ranks well in my fav cars in TDU list. still don't know why though

Yes...dissapointing and very odd.

If they can get the out of Car Speedo to work on the Holden, then why not the in car speedo!

And surely it is more difficult to get needle Speedo's and rev counters to work in cars models than a digital speedo!

Very strange!

edit of my charger review

Dodge Charger Super Bee (G class)
A true American Muscle car, great looks, and amazingly fast (quickest muscle so far) handling to match the age and the real supsension of it. and the sound kills ya (the sound was taken from the Ford GT) oh another thing look at the lights on the side they light up when you brake in reverse and the front two light up when you use the A button :D:D:D:D

ITS A pornstar mobile with a Thong as a sterring wheel and a Male stick as a gear knot ^^

actually the digital speedos are very difficult to recreate as they read every rpm digit like instead of 6K on a analog it would be 6000 rpm on a digital same with speedo and they would have to program engine temp oil temp and what ever else eden and atari had a lot of price cuts so this was not included
