Driving the best Forza Horizon 6 drag cars is the only way you can zoom past your opponents and tear up the drag strip. You need a car that emphasizes speed and acceleration, and there are plenty of tuning setups for practically every car that can help with that. Just bear in mind that you'll likely be sacrificing almost every other aspect of your car for this narrow focus, so drag cars aren't good for much else in Forza Horizon 6. But if you want to try setting the fastest times, these are some of the best drag racing cars in Forza Horizon 6.
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 cars in Forza Horizon 6 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, and you can do the same for Drift setups to help you create the best drift cars in Forza Horizon 6.
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.
