Thanks to all the positive and helpful feedback so far.
I updated the opening post.
Changelog:
2017-01-25: Added link to Broughy's Fastest Stock Vehicles By Class video in Car Selection / Part I. Added more explanation to downforce modifier in Customizing Vehicles / Part III and mentioned this exception to the spoiler part of Customizing Vehicles / Part I
I'm sorry I'm replying this late. I planned to have the testing done, when answering, but I couldn't find the time, so I have to leave that open...
I would suggest the Blade as an option for muscles. It's not expensive and in certain situations able to compete with or even better than the Dominator RC and the Sabre Turbo Custom. Futhermore it's an easier car to drive than most muscles.
I also thought about the Blade, but I think it's too expensive with 160k for this list. It's more expensive than the must-haves V12 and Brioso. The purpose of this list is to be able to join Playlist racing with custom cars as cheap as possible. That was pretty much the first goal for me, when I started with GTA Online. Also, these certain situations will feature a lot of MDSBing I guess, which is beyond the level we are talking about here. Yes, it's easier to drive, but that is no criterion here.
No, I didn't know this series. I've watched 3 or 4 episodes two weeks ago, but I think there is a lot of comedy and stuff only important for real-life racing in it like tire wear, so it comes down to maybe one minute of helpful information for a 8-9 minute video. That's not a good trade-off.
If you have certain videos or parts in mind, please link them directly.
Wow, great guide!
I think the bit about "won't change your landing spot" is not quite it. You for sure know by leaning forward or backward you will go further or shorter in distance. And I also tend to tell people to try avoid air time at all. Air time is slow time (:))
This I wanted to test. Should be quite easy to do, with a stunt track featuring only a very long straight with a jump. Unfortunately I couldn't find the time to do this yet. I'm also not the right guy for producing videos or talking over recorded footage. So I will probably leave that for someone else. Would be great to focus on two things separately. By how much can you influence the landing spot by moving the left analog stick (only in air vs. also before the takeoff). Second, what is faster (make sure your landing (rear wheels vs. all wheels first) does not influence the result)? Use multiple cars to verify your results.
It has inspired me to try & master the fast but 'difficult' cars.
With that said, could someone suggest a good neutral 'setup' for the following :
-re7b
-elegy
-pisswasser dominator
-brioso
Many thx in advance.
This questions is better suited for this thread.

Great thread, RapTor_X_ .

RapTor_X_ do you now of the racing line by Motor Trend Channel? It may be helpful for people to watch as well. No, I didn't know this series. I've watched 3 or 4 episodes two weeks ago, but I think there is a lot of comedy and stuff only important for real-life racing in it like tire wear, so it comes down to maybe one minute of helpful information for a 8-9 minute video.

- Controlling the car in the air: While in the air you can actually control your car. You can't brake or accelerate in the air, so it won't change your landing spot, but you can correct the rotation and angle of the car. Use your right analog stick to roll your car sideways or forwards/backwards. Landing on your wheels is a good idea, if you don't want to explode. Less known is that you can also turn your car angle left and right with the left analog stick while using the handbrake in air. Using that you can land pointing to the right direction.

Just wanted to say thanks for this. So much golden information & knowledge here.
