Destroyed a Lancer while in a Racer

How to unlock the Speed Kills achievement in Borderlands - Definitive Guide

Easiest way of all...

Find the specs for the Lancer.

Spawn a Lancer at a vehicle station.

Right bummer to 2nd vehicle at the station and spawn a racer.

Fire away from inside the racer.

Dead easy, once you have met Moxxi, you'll be able to build the Racers, make your way back to the previous area, once you see a Lancer, press A for a lock-on & use the rockets - just keep your distance & watch out for the probes that attack in groups

Easy as that. I got it by accident as I never check achievement lists on my first play through of an RPG and was pleasantly surprised with this chievo.

I got this one on my own. I went straight to playthrough 2 when I got the DLC and started doing the missions. My Hunter went up levels quite fast. After getting to about level 57 I went back and loaded up the first playthrough and did the missions again (slightly boring, but very fast to do) and unlocked the Racer.

As soon as I got it, I killed a Lancer with the first 4/5 shots without any fear of being destroyed by return fire.

(any negative votes, please explain why so I can improve this solution, cheers)

The important thing here, as hinted at in the first solution and comments, is to keep your distance.

Do not under any circumstances simply drive up close and hope to blow up a lancer with a racer. What you need to do is, when you get the mission from Moxxi, spot at a distance a lancer and target it.

Get your weaponry organised and get in some long distance hits to do the job.

Another, slightly easier way (as mentioned in the comments above) is to hit the lancer with a homing weapons from the Monster to weaken it before delivering the coup de grace with the racer.

For this method though you will ned more than one player - so co-op here we come!!

It's possible to do this one as soon as you get the specs for the Racer.

Once you get back on the Crimson Tollway a Lancer should spawn just beyond the barricades in front of you. Simply lock on and race by it, firing rockets as you go - don't slow down to check on the damage until you go over the first dip. It might not be dead but it should be well down on health so one or two more rockets will finish it off.

You get the specs for the Racer after you meet Moxxi for the first time and Lancers drive around the highways of T-Bone Junction a lot but they have a lot of health so an easy way is to wait until you have the specs for the Lancer which is given to you after you complete the mission 'OMG APC'.

Once you have both specs to spawn head to any Catch A Ride station and spawn a Lancer, then press cn_RB to switch over to the second spawn slot and spawn a Racer and get in the driving seat. Now blast away at the Lancer and once destroyed the achievement is yours.

Here's a video

Racers are the vehicle you drive around from the original game. They are the weakest of the three vehicles you can choose from. Lancers are the APCs that the Crimson Lance drive around. They essentially look like a tank with wheels. The racers become available for you to drive after you talk with Moxxi for the first time.

Once you are able to drive a racer, head on up to "The Ridgeway." If you haven't already, grab a racer and head down the ramp. At the bottom there should be a Lancer. The easiest way to kill it is to stay as far away as you can and shoot rockets at it. If you are being shot at, simply swerve back and forth. The weapon on the Lancer is direct fire, so if you move around they can't hit you. Once the Lancer is destroyed, the achievement will pop.

Guide brought over from TA, all credit goes to magnum zero (xbox360), kudos, great solution. anyways, spawn a lancer at any station (t-bone being my fav) DONT get in it, hit right bumper to re-select a racer, get into and blast away, took all of 20 seconds to get, oh make sure you aim at the lancer doh (right bumper doesnt select racer auto, it's monster, then select racer)

You will receive the "Racer" car after the mission "You've Got Moxxi: Moxxi's Red Light", after which get into the "Racer" and go in search of the "Spearman" ("Spearman" is an armored personnel carrier on where the Spear soldiers are driving around, they can often be found on bridges and roads) when you find such an armored personnel carrier, you can either shoot it with the Racer, or get out of the car, shoot a little at the armored personnel carrier with a weapon, climb back into the car and finish off the armored personnel carrier already from it, in any case you will receive a trophy

First, get into the "Spearman", get out and get into the "Racer", shoot the first car with it - the trophy is yours.
