Choose a car for me!

Choose one of the 3 cars for Street Races and Pursuit Races. Dinka Jester RR vs Karin Sultan RS Classic vs Calico GTF. Justify your answer with reasons.

I'd say get the Calico for Pursuit Races, and then get the Jester for Street Races since you still want it even though you've been told it's nothing special. Plus it's on sale right now. The Sultan is faster but harder to drive. If you master it, you won't go back to the Jester, so now is the time to drive the Jester.

Yesss! I already bought the Karin Sultan RS Classic and upgraded it to the max. Furthermore, I even bought the Dinka Jester RR as it's on sale right now. But, the upgrades are pending. I might even get the Calico GTF too...

Be sure to not lower the Sultans suspension more that Street susp.. it turns into a skidding, snapping, but also boring hell-car with lower suspension.. (and looking like you stole it from a pimp)
And get used to where on the tracks it tries to get stuck in a gear, (due to the downshift-nerf for the tuners, it's the one that suffers the most from it, unless counting the Futo as an alternative in racing), and just double-tap the throttle just when getting to the places that used to get you stuck in a gear the lap/race before, as the places are the same. (but differs slightly from if you have catch-up on or not if in the lead (the rev sounds should tell if it's on or not)).

Does the suspension change performance or is it just there for cosmetics? And, thank you for that downshift info!

A lowered suspension often improves traction by a slight degree and I believe that does apply to the tuner vehicles. I'm a fairly active racer and don't like the appearance of bowed out tires, which are common to the tuner vehicles at the lowest suspension levels, so I avoid that. Realistically, having the lowest possible suspension I feel is only of importance if you're often in races with true experts. Against average players, even ones with a fairly high level, I don't think it would be the deciding factor whether you win or lose a race.

You're welcome! My vote would also go to the Calico, though I personally prefer driving the Jester RR. The Calico handling feels strangely stiff to me, but the good speed and very impressive acceleration it has I believe make it the best of the tuner bunch and is what you'll probably want to use to actually win those races (at least pursuit races, those I'm more familiar with).

One odd detail: The Jester RR has a slightly higher top speed, 125mph vs the Calico's 121, but it seems to take it's sweet time getting there and when I've used it in tuner races I typically end up in 2nd or 3rd place, like in this video.

Well I wouldn't say I'm especially active there. Mainly I just came to believe that sharing screenshots on Steam of race stuff didn't capture the experience very well, the excitement, but it's nice to know some people on YouTube occasionally find the videos I post entertaining or helpful. Otherwise they're simply meant for my friends here and outside Steam.
