By the way, as I've said, you can add information about the Hommage and Vulcan. You can't actually edit the table since it's in a blog, but you can still write info in the comments section. Also, I might move this table to an official page on the Wiki.

I've stated that the SLK SE is the best car in Multiplayer but that's debatable since it's Elite, and unreliable due to horrible stats other than speed. However, its speed is just so immense that its practically impossible to lose unless you fail really badly and there's a bunch of Cobras, BMW M2s, and Camaro SS' in your race.

I put the Hommage as third since the Cobra and Camaro SS are at 6 and 7, and I know that the Hommage is basically a straight upgrade to the Camaro SS.

I put the Vulcan as 2nd, or a tied first with the SLK SE since I know from watching your videos that the Vulcan is a more desired car over the Hommage. It's interesting because the Vulcan only costs tokens and it's the second best car in the game. The Hommage is a lot harder to obtain (currently, impossible to obtain) and the Camaro SS is half the price of the Vulcan, so you could theoretically not buy the Camaro SS just so you could cash out all of those tokens + more tokens on the Vulcan instead. The Cobra's basically a distant dream for 90% of the player-base, and always has been, due to its' "game progress" style of being obtained.

The McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 and SIN R1 are rated 4th and 5th. Even though they're both worse than the Vulcan, they're still decent in their own right. Also, a LOT of people use the Hommage, McLaren Mercedes MP4-25, and McLaren MP4/8 (I don't think many people use the SIN R1; previously, its Wiki page was bare, before I edited it and added tunes. This is surprising since it's quite godly in Multiplayer.). The competition around 1500-1700, despite being very broken with matchmaking, is very fierce and there's a lot of rating points going around. There are even Camaro SS', Estoques, Holden Coupe 60s and Sagaris' that get pulled into the mix, as well as a lot of "civilian cars", like the Pagani Zonda R and Ferrari F12berlinetta. The Vulcan dominates over all of this madness, stealing the rating points from everyone else, much like the Camaro SS, SLK SE, and Cobra.

Finally, at 1800, where the only viable cars are MAX + PRO Class S and Class A cars, the Vulcan simply destroys everything, with some occasional "underdogs" being thrown into the mix, such as the Devel Sixteen Prototype (used only by drunk people who probably also own the Vulcan), the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport (used by Class A TLE tryhards), the McLaren MP4-31 (used by people too poor to buy the Vulcan), and the Porsche 918 Spyder/Lamborghini Aventador SV (which are both trying too hard to be the Vulcan). Then, you've got the hundreds of TRION NEMESIS' which are swarming around like flies, or like Donkervoorts/Survolts/McLarens, who have high ratings but who are not good enough to come anywhere close to the Vulcans.

However, I find much gameplay to be horrendously unpredictable at those ranks. For example, I have a screenshot where I beat 3 MAX + PRO double/triple-boosted Vulcans simultaneously on 1 lap of Alps Reverse, using a MAX + PRO C 63 Coupe Touring Car. It sounds ridiculous, but this stuff happens all the time. I've so far been able to beat almost all TRION NEMESIS', almost all McLaren MP4-31s, around half of all Vulcans, and mostly everything else apart from Corvette GS' and Hommages, who just speed past. I've only played maybe 20 races in total at this rank, without tickets (since I'm not crazy enough to go ranked with a MAX + PRO C 63 Coupe).

The way I see it, 1800 is dominated by a VERY small group of extremely skilled Vulcan drivers, like Dr. Healusion, and the rest is just an explosion of madness. Also, none of the cars has a particular advantage over the others that is huge. For example, the Cobra at 1245 or the Camaro SS at 1450 are immensely faster than most other cars at those ranks, but most of the cars at 1800 are basically going at the same speed.

If you're on Dr. Healusion's level, then, sure, you can get to 2500 with the Vulcan, which is why I rated it as the 2nd best car in the game. However, you can still get to 2300-2500 with the Vulcan at lower ranks, where games are much more interesting and predictable, fighting Hommages and MP4-25s.

In my opinion, "Low-Ranked Champions" are superior to "MAX + PRO-Only Champions", because matchmaking has an actual pecking order or foodchain, rather than just an explosion of insanity, which you would see at 1800.

Also, there are a handful of decent cars that people use at ranks 600-900. Those are mostly DeZirs, with some IMPREZAs, Beetles, F-150s, and Camaro Z/28s. Otherwise, nothing else remotely stands a chance. Those cars are still rated in the top 30 cars in the game because they are the fastest cars at those ranks. Sure, down there, it's basically impossible to get over 2000, but there are still lots of Multiplayer Points going around, so you can race with a DeZir for 50 games in a row if you're only aiming to get Multiplayer Points.

By the way, I placed the Porsche 959 as a "Low Champion" car, since it has replaced the Evoque. The Evoque was capable of reaching Low Champion, with great difficulty, although that's almost impossible now, with the arrival of the Porsche 959.
