Your comment is a little late...

On topic, I'd say the Lotus Exige S Coupe tends to be a better choice of Class C car than the Audi RS 4 Avant, Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and SRT 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8.

The Exige's handling is far superior to the Challenger, while being similar to the 8C and better than the Avant. In terms of acceleration, the Exige comes out on top, with the Challenger at the bottom. Drifting sees the Challenger at the bottom and the Exige/8C at the top. Nitro duration is best with the Avant, while the 8C is worst in this aspect. The lowest top speed belongs to the Exige, while the highest belongs to the Challenger. With price, the Exige wins at first, but PRO kits suggest that the 8C is the best option, at least for someone on an i4 or V6 budget.

Basically: 1. Handling - Exige (Extreme), 8C (High), Avant (Mediocre), Challenger (Mediocre). 2. Acceleration - Exige (High), 8C (High), Avant (Good), Challenger (Mediocre). 3. Drifting - 8C (High), Exige (Mediocre), Avant (Poor), Challenger (Extremely Poor). 4. Nitro Length - Avant (Very High), Exige (High), Challenger (Mediocre), 8C (Very Poor). 5. Raw Top Speed [No Nitro] - 8C (Very High), Challenger (High), Avant (Low), Exige (Low). 6. Total Top Speed [With Nitro] - Challenger (High), 8C (High), Avant (Mediocre), Exige (Mediocre). 7. Purchase Price - Exige (Cheap), Avant (Cheap), 8C (Nearly 2x Exige), Challenger (Nearly 2x Exige). 8. Upgrade Price - Roughly Equal 9. Engines (4 each) - 8C (V8, common engine but not used frequently by early cars), Avant/Challenger (V6, common engine but used frequently by mid-late cars in Class D), Exige (i4, rarer than V8 and V6 but is used by many Class D + C Cars, including the CLIO, Beetle, Evoque, GLC Coupe, CLA Racing Series, etc.). 10. Mid-Techs - Equal (4 each)

The Exige looks like the best option, at first, but its usage of i4 engines and its low top speed, despite having other stats high, makes it only very useful when used as an early Career Mode car.

The Avant is slightly faster amd has better nitro, but is an overall performance downgrade to the Exige.

The Challenger has the worst drifting in the game, combined with mediocre handling and acceleration. Its main advantage is a high top speed, supported by a mediocre nitro efficiency, which is long enough to stay activated for long periods at a time.

The 8C is probably the best choice when both funds and performance are considered.

Keep in mind that the Exige wins while triple-boosted on Azure Coast and while double-boosted on Sector 8. The Challenger would probably wind while triple-boosted on long maps like Tokyo and Iceland, while the Avant is the best to use if on adouble-boost on these maps.

The 8C can't do very well on nitro-based tracks (unless triple-boosted), but it performs very well on tracks with lots of airtime and sharp turns, like Tenerife.
