CSR2 Honda Hoonigan Indy Truck — Best Tune, Shift Pattern & Stats

It's a pickup truck. And it's the fastest car in CSR2. That combination shouldn't work on paper, but here we are — the Honda Hoonigan Indy Truck holds the #1 spot in the current Tier 5 rankings with a fully maxed ½ mile time of 6.513 seconds. Nothing else in the game is quicker.

This isn't some oversized muscle car with a big V8 squeezed under the hood either. The real-world Indy Truck is a 2017 Honda Ridgeline shell wrapped around a proper 2.2-litre twin-turbocharged IndyCar V6 — Honda's HI12TT/R race unit, mid-mounted behind the cab, producing somewhere between 700 and 900 horsepower at up to 12,000 rpm. Pair that with a 6-speed sequential Xtrac gearbox and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, and you start to understand why it translates so well into a drag racing game. It's not just fast. The thing is engineered to be fast.

In CSR2 it comes as an Icon Series car with 135 fusion spaces — that's a serious fusion count, and it matters a lot for the build.

Performance by Stage 6 Count

Here's how the car progresses as you add Stage 6 parts. All times are with full fusion parts installed for that stage count.

The jump from 0 S6 to all S6 is about 1.3 seconds — that's massive. And notice the car is already at 7.833 with just Stage 5 fully fused, which puts it ahead of most T5 cars that are sitting on 3–4 Stage 6 parts. The fusion slots carry serious weight here.

Best Tune — Stage 5 and Stage 6 Maxed

Two tunes worth knowing. Stage 5 for when you're still building, and the full maxed tune for when you've got all Stage 6 parts installed.

Final Drive stays at 2.00 across both. The big change is in NOS — you're running 150 BHP at Stage 5, and that goes up to 188 BHP with 4 seconds of duration when fully maxed. The extra NOS duration at the top build is what keeps the boost active long enough through the gears to matter.

One thing to watch: if you don't have all your fusions filled, the NOS tuning can shift slightly. If you're getting inconsistent results, adjust by the second value (the seconds duration) rather than the BHP.

Shift Pattern

The Indy Truck uses the same shift approach at Stage 5 and fully maxed. Get this right and the times above are achievable. Get it wrong and you'll lose half a second to wheelspin.

Start slow — release the throttle when the '2' appears in the countdown. You're aiming for around 4,500 RPM. The needle will drop a bit when you launch and that's exactly what you want. Trying to hold higher RPM here just means the rear tyres spin and you go nowhere fast.

Hit NOS as soon as you're in 1st gear. Then shift late into 2nd — close to the top of the rev range — and do the same into 3rd. After that, stay in 3rd for the rest of the run. Don't shift into 4th. The car pulls hard enough in 3rd that dropping into 4th just kills the momentum.

Fusions and the Icon Series

With 135 fusion spaces, this car has more room for Evo than almost anything else in T5. Every unfilled slot costs you time — and at 7 S6 parts total, getting the car fully fused before you start adding Stage 6 upgrades is the smarter approach. Half-fused with 4 S6 parts is slower than fully fused with 2 S6 parts in a lot of cases.

Being an Icon Series car also means the fusion parts are Honda-specific and won't drop from just any bronze crate. You're pulling from Honda crates, which means the grind is slower unless you're targeting it intentionally.

How to Get the Indy Truck

The Honda Hoonigan Indy Truck was introduced as an Icon Series event car. It occasionally returns through special events and featured crate rotations — it's worth checking the current event schedule in-game. Like most high-tier Icon cars, it's not available through standard silver or gold key crate pools.

If you've missed the event window or don't want to grind the keys for a guaranteed pull, a CSR2 mods delivery is the straightforward route. The car gets delivered already built — Stage 6 parts fitted, fusions in the right slots — and it's ready to run 6.513 from the moment it lands in your garage.
