-VooDoo-'s Car Comparison Table
----------------------------------
Straight from -VooDoo-:
I measured the precision stats with a precision ruler (those in the bottom
of the Customize Ride, not those on the performance board) they're 50mm
long on a 15" flat screen, so I just measured them all and compared it with
each other. Because those bars use 100 divisions I could convert the stats
to percentages. This was made because I realised different cars reacted
differently to the upgrades. (e.g. Golf has a low top speed in stock, but
with the Level 3 upgrades it gets a top speed even better than the Dodge)

Bonus Cars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Bonus cars are not available in Underground Mode.
Where are the bonus cars? (Nismo Sentra, VORTEX car,
Petey Pablo Car, Mystikal car, Rob Zombie Car, etc.)
Bonus cars can only be found in Quick Race. To use them, first
select 'Quick Race' from the 'Main Menu', then choose a race
type from the six available. Then scroll thru the selection of
cars.
The name of the bonus car will not be displayed, therefore
find the type of car model that the bonus ride belongs to.
(e.g. the Nismo Sentra will only have the text 'Nissan Sentra'
displayed on the top right, don't go looking for Nismo Sentra!)
If you still can't find it, wait for the car to appear in view
(you will hear the roar of an engine). If you look carefully,
the car will not be in one plain color but have a unique vinyl
on it (customization). Else the car selected is not the bonus
car. You will have to scroll through the list to find the other
car (with the same model name). It should be close to the end
of the list if you scroll all the way to the right.
For example, the Nismo Sentra will have the text 'Nissan Sentra'
on the top right of the screen, but if you wait for the car to
appear the text 'Nismo' and some Japanese characters can be seen
on the side of the car.
If you still can't find the bonus car you're looking for, go
through the style rewards list to make sure that you've unlocked
the particular car first. Note: bonus cars are not available in
Underground Mode. I can't stress that enough.
Refer to the Cars section for a complete list of unlockable
bonus cars in NFS:U.
