The best Forza Horizon 6 drag cars will let you zoom past your opponents as you race down the strip, focusing on speed and acceleration. This narrow focus for drag racing means the best cars for the job aren't great at much else in Forza Horizon 6, but it also means that upgrades and tuning can be used to turn practically any car into a great drag racer. Even so, here are some of the best drag racing cars in Forza Horizon 6 that I recommend getting if you want to set the fastest times.
Best Forza Horizon 6 drag cars
The best drag racing cars in Forza Horizon 6 are arguably the following thanks to their incredible acceleration:
- Mazda MX-5 Miata Forza Edition
- Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Forza Edition
- Nissan GT-R Black Edition (R35) Forza Edition
- Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car
While you might think that the fastest Forza Horizon 6 cars would also be the best drag racing cars, the Forza Edition Miata seems to be the undisputed best drag car in the game thanks to its stats and stock drag tyres, at least straight out of the box anyway. It's also quite easy to get, which I've covered further down, while the rest of these cars are harder to get, relying on random Wheelspins and luck or are quite expensive.
You can make these cars even better too by driving them to a Horizon Festival site and entering the 'Upgrades and Tuning' menu under the 'Cars' tab. From here, choose 'Find Tuning Setups', then use the search function and select 'Drag' as one of the keywords. This should bring up several setups for your chosen car that are optimized for Drag racing.
You can also manually upgrade your car as well – just make sure you focus on boosting Speed, Acceleration, and Launch as much as possible and fit Drag tyres! It's also a good idea to get familiar with Launch Control and some of the other Forza Horizon 6 assists, so you can get off the line smoothly.
How to get the best drag car in Forza Horizon 6
To get Forza Horizon 6's best drag racing car, the Mazda MX-5 Miata Forza Edition, you need to head to the Aftermarket Car spot that's just north of the Festival Kilometre Drag Meet at the main Horizon Festival site, as the Forza Edition MX-5 Miata has a chance of spawning there – thanks MitchCactus.
All you need to do is reload the map, whether that's by participating in a race or restarting the game, until the car appears, which shouldn't take long – the car appeared for me after reloading the game three times. You can then buy it for 500,000 Credits, meaning it's not the priciest car by a long shot but make sure you know some easy ways to farm money in Forza Horizon 6 to afford it.
