There's a sports car that is fast, but it only seats three people. The seating is important, since you'll often be asked to pick up a six to ten people. Players start with a taxi, a reliable vehicle that can seat up to four civilians.

If you have to ask why there are zombies roaming the streets, then it's because you haven't played a video game recently. But seriously, how much cooler would it have been to see a zombie kart racer?
