The description got it all wrong: Vegas' frame isn't "fragile" - it's actually one of the toughest and heaviest cars in the game, capable of pushing Pioneers around like nothing only thanks to the huge mass joined with the high speed, turning it into a car-shaped meteor which can pin and destroy most vehicles against walls. At top speed the car will drive like on ice, therefore plenty of practice is needed to take the best out of it. Another downside is the non-constant acceleration - from a standing start, you'll get a sluggish first gear, before exploding into top speed past the second.
Take your time to master this car, it's really worth it.

NOTE: The Vegas will do wheelies when activating Nitro 3. While this might look cool, it makes the car undriveable - your front wheels won't touch the ground until you reach a good speed, meaning that you won't be able to steer during the whole acceleration phase.


Pros
  • Fastest car in the game
  • Explosive acceleration past first gear
  • Very rewarding once mastered
  • Can easily push around bigger cars
  • Can easily survive OSMAW hits
  • Does wheelies with Nitro 3!

Cons
  • Very wide turn radius
  • Nonexistant grip at higher speeds
  • Slow on the uptake
  • Does wheelies with Nitro 3!
