So an update for those of you who are interested. At least one list in this thread contains all the cars contained in the real top 10, even if not in the right order. At least one list in this thread has the top 5 cars in the correct order. There is one car in particular that in general has been overestimated. There are probably two cars that in general have been underestimated. Some comments about the cars and their performance have been incredibly accurate. Some comments however have been way off XD It's all very interesting overestimated i reckon is either the 9f or Voltic, Entity XF or Turismo R and underestimated might be either Cheetah, Adder, Entity XF or Turismo or Jester in my opinion. my uncertainty only makes me want to see the videos more. i may also be noticing the ones that seem plausible to me and i'm ruling out the ones that initially i found ridiculous. If I were to make my top ten again i would drop the Voltic and add the Cheetah. I feel that The Cheetah only has a purpose when the Entity is not present as The Entity imo can do everything the Cheetah does just significantly better.

I thought the blade would perform much better on this track than it did =\

To be fair he said more biased towards straight line speed, which is entirely correct and very different to what you said.

Is straight line speed not top speed? and he brought up the top speed. Thats may be why I misunderstood. I actually am even more confused now by your comment.

A car with good top speed that take ages to reach it may have worse straight line speed than a car with average top speed but really ramps up the mph quickly. It obviously depends on the length of the straight but often top speed isn't even reached on the vast majority of tracks, meaning it's more about drag, engine power, etc that determines how quick the car goes along that straight as a whole. With the blade the top speed is low and reached very quickly, which is why it perfoms poorly in terms of overall straight line speed. That's just my take on it though.

Ok that makes more sense if that is indeed what he meant and I agree with it. You are quite right I thought he meant the complete opposite which Is why I questioned it. Especially coming from Doodle because I know he is savvy racer. Side note: The blade has the highest top speed in its class actually. Its the insane drag coefficient that the car has that holds it back but thats also what gives it the traction. Thats my theory based on the game code.

It has such ridiculous drag it's not going anywhere fast XD

10 9F 9 Adder 8 Infernus 7 Feltzer 6 Massacaro 5 Cheetah 4 Elegy RH8 3 Entity XF 2 Turismo 1 Zentorno I realise how soon the reveal is but we haven't actually had any of the potential top 10s yet so i think my updated and more well though prediction is fair.

^looks like a pretty good list except I think your overestimating the sultan and I'd probably swap one or two cars positions around
