The Cobra and BMW M2 are arch enemies but they can also work together. (Note: This is regarding the Cobra at rank 1245 and the BMW M2 at rank 1256).

The Cobra and BMW M2's rivalry mainly revolves around the Cobra's BAD DRIFTING. The Cobra is slightly faster than the BMW M2 and it has slightly quicker acceleration, but the M2 has better nitro efficiency and drifting.

However, the BMW M2 is Elite and the Cobra isn't. Therefore, the Cobra can be used more frequently. On the other hand, the BMW M2's superior nitro efficiency allows it to function quite well without Extra Tanks, unlike the Cobra.

I use both the Cobra and the BMW M2, and I have developed a "rhythm". Basically, the BMW M2 is what I use when I have no Extra Tanks and when I have only a few tickets.

By now, I have memorised exactly which maps and which areas within those maps will give me the HIGHEST chance of overtaking a similarly-ranked Cobra with my BMW M2. I only go into lobbies which have at least 2 suitable maps, if not 3, so that I can have a "guaranteed" victory against the Cobra. I have played MANY races where I have beaten 3+ Cobras in one race, and where I have gone up by more than ten rating points (with my total rating being between 1900-2100).

When I have many tickets (around 10 or more), I activate an Extra Tank and I start to use the Cobra and the BMW M2 together. I prefer the BMW M2 for its security (setting up games so that I can win), however, I am actually good at driving both cars, now (I have used the Cobra for nearly 5 months and the BMW M2 for nearly 3 months). I can regularly beat other Cobras at the same rank or higher.

Regarding the Porsche 959, it's basically a mix between the Cobra and BMW M2. It possesses the BMW M2's nitro efficiency, stability and drifting, and the Cobra's speed and acceleration. The Porsche 959 always requires Extra Tanks, despite its good nitro efficiency, because it is very reliant on nitro (which becomes an issue when you run out of nitro).

My Porsche 959 has a rank of 1045. At that rank, most other people are also using the Porsche 959. The main way to win is to beat a LOT of people by being more skilled than them. You don't have ANY advantages over your competition, apart from skill and knowledge (and, perhaps you might have a better tune or you might have a higher-ranked tune).

If you start the race at the back, you will have a high chance of losing, especially on a map like London or Rio.

Therefore, you need to choose maps which are DIFFICULT. Such maps include Sector 8, Tenerife, Dubai, Iceland, and Nevada.
