Real Racing 3 Car Comparison - 2-D charts

In Real Racing 3, there are various cars with its own unique character. Along with exterior design, each car has 4 factors describing its character. They are 1)maximum speed, 2)acceleration time, 3)braking distance, and 4)tire grip. It is easy to read the value but, it is hard to compare with other cars. So I would like to provide simplified 2-dimensional chart to map position of each car.

To draw 2-D chart with 4 factors, it should be paired. The first pair is maximum speed and acceleration time which is the ability to go faster at straight road. The second pair is braking distance and tire grip which is not to slow down at curves. So, if the former is good, it will outrun at the straight road, if the latter is good, it will outrun at curves, easily. And, to show money value, the vehicle price has been set to the size of the bubble chart.
Class P cars can be roughly divided into...
  1. Faster & Not slower cars: Porsche 911, BMW M6 Coupe, Ford Shelby GT500
  2. Not faster, but not slower cars : BMW 1 Series M Coupe, Z4 sDrive35is, Nissan 370Z,
  3. Faster, but not not-slower cars : Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, Audi TT RS Coupe 
BMW 1 series M Coupe has good money-value ratio, but after the upgrade, the absolute performance of the Z4 sDrive35is is better. Audi TT RS Coupe is personally preferred because it has the superior acceleration to outrun at start. And, new Camaro ZL1 will be preferred I think, but need a lot of gold upgrade. :(

BTW, Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is included in the Class P chart although it is Class S. The reason is that actual vehicles to compete in the game are of Class P. 
At Class R, there is not superior cars at both factors. Outstanding cars are
 1) BMW M3 GT2 ALMS  is extremely focused on not-slower at corner.
 2) Murcielago R-SV GT1 is 'Faster' side.
But, most cars are between two. In terms of price-value ratio, Nissan JR Motorsports GT-R GT1, Sumo Power GT GT-R GT1 look good. Auid R8 LMS Ultra can be an option, too.
Class S cars are widely dispersed. Also, price range is very wide. An option for Faster side will be Nissan GT-R Premium, which seems to have a rocket engine. It can kiss every hip of any car. For not-slower side, Pagani Huayra and Nonda F are good choice. 

* Some cars can be bought by Gold. So, equivalent to R $ Currency is displayed.
