By the way, Feuerrm, it might interest you to know that virtually all Class D cars with large nitro statistics are faster than their small-nitro competitors and that virtually all Class C/B/A/S cars with large nitro statistics are slower than their small-nitro competitors.

For example, the Koenigsegg Agera R is faster than the W Motors Lykan HyperSport, which is probably to make up for its abysmal all-around stats, apart from raw top speed and handling.

With the introduction of the Porsche Update and its five nitro-reliant Porsches, you can very clearly see this rule applying.

The Class S Porsche, despite being above the Aventador SV, is slightly slower because of its large nitro. Of course, on the other hand, it has very good acceleration (Your 918 Spyder has horrible acceleration because you have few nitro/acceleration upgrades), handling, drifting, and decent nitro efficiency. The 918 Spyder would otherwise be an average car if it weren't for the Elite Status giving it a handy speed boost. With its Elite speed boost, the 918 Spyder is a really good car, with all stats being very good, but not necessarily the best.

The Class D Porsche, being a Class D car, has the opposite effect to its Porsche cousins in higher classes. Like the Ford F-150 and Renault DeZir, the Porsche 959 gains a massive speed boost due to its large nitro. I could describe the Porsche 959 as the perfect Class D car, apart from the fact that it is located close to the middle of the Class (making it still inferior to the Mazda RX8 and nanoFlowcell QUANTINO, but better than most other Class D cars). The Porsche 959 has a medium-low starting rank, a bit lower than the Impala and Datsun. The Porsche 959 then has the second best nitro efficiency in the game, at 6/8/10, which almost completely negates its low raw top speed nitro. In addition, its raw top speed isn't that bad when compared to the Renault DeZir. The Porsche 959 also has very good acceleration, even without acceleration upgrades, and it has very good drifting (though it slows down a lot). Its handling is mediocre, but not the worst. The Porsche 959 is overpowered in Multiplayer not only due to its extremely good stats and medium-low starting rank but also due to its very low speed upgrade weightings. Being a Porsche, it has the characteristic 35% weighting on acceleration, which makes top speed and nitro carry very few ranks. This allows it to become extremely fast at low ranks, and it currently dominates a medium-sized bracket, from around 850 to 1050. Overall, there is no non-Elite Class D car that could be better than the Porsche 959, unless it had a lower starting rank and higher finishing rank (but that would be absurd since the car would be the best car in the entire class AND an OP Multiplayer Car, meaning that people would have to make a decision on how to use it).

The Class C/B/A Porsches have been mostly disappointments to many people. The Porsche 959 is the overpowered baby Porsche while the Porsche 918 Spyder is the overpowered Class S Porsche, being one of the top ten fastest cars in the game. The Class C Porsche is so slow that it shares its top speed with the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, the Class B Porsche is so slow that it's nearly 5 km/h slower than the Ferrari 458 Italia, and the Class A Porsche is so slow that it's the same speed as the RUF RT 12 S and Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS. None of the Class C/B/A Porsches is overly useful in Multiplayer, though half-decent Multiplayer tunes do exist for them. However, on the bright side, a MAX + PRO Porsche always has the following traits; good nitro efficiency, good acceleration, good drifting. Therefore, the Porsche 718 Boxster S can still outrun cars like the BMW M1 and Dodge Challenger, the Porsche Cayman GT4 can still outrun cars like the Ferrai 458 Italia and Mazda Furai, and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS can still outrun cars like the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari.
