Now, the Cobra would actually be worse than the Sagaris IF the SLK SE were very common.

You could see it this way:

Sagaris usually loses to Camaro SS, Cobra usually loses to SLK SE.

Sagaris and Cobra have good acceleration, Camaro SS and SLK SE have horrible acceleration.

Sagaris, Cobra, Camaro SS, and SLK SE all have very bad drifting.

The Sagaris can beat the Camaro SS with skill, aggression, strategy, and luck.

The Cobra can beat the SLK SE with skill, aggression, strategy, and luck (I beat two properly tuned SLK SE's today with my Cobra, by knocking one of them down twice in a race, and because the other one knocked me down but wrecked soon afterwards).

Therefore, the Sagaris and Cobra are equal, and the Camaro SS and SLK SE are equal.

But, it doesn't really work that way. For starters, the Sagaris is the most common of the four cars. And, for seconds, the Camaro SS is the second most common of the four cars.

The Cobra, despite being hard to obtain, isn't actually that rare, but it's still a lot less common than the Sagaris and Camaro SS. Finally, the SLK SE is extremely rare.

Just from this observation, it's easy to see why the above analogy doesn't really work. It's all down to the SLK SE being extremely rare, therefore, leaving the Cobra mostly unscathed. On the other hand, you've got thousands of Sagaris' clashing with thousands of Camaro SS' every day, which doesn't end well for the Sagaris', but which also doesn't really end well for the Camaro SS' either (since they have to deal with pesky little flies everytime they play a race).
