Which cars do I choose?

The options given to choose which car is minimal. The only options to help you choose is power and weight. There are cars with the most power and cars with less power and less weight. How do I choose? For example, the first GT race the options are as so ( I have given power and weight between 1 and 10.
Aston Martin vantage GT4 Power 2.5 weight 6
Ford Mustang 4 7
Nissan 2.5 6
Chevrolet 2.5 6.5
Porsche 2.5 6

Which do I choose? I am thinking between Aston Martin or Mustang, the latter is heavier?

I ended up choosing the Mustang and it was definitely the best choice. I won every race with ease (I play on medium difficulty usually or easy if I cannot get 1st, 2nd or 3rd after numerous attempts. Every race was so easy I had to check I wasn't playing on easy difficulty (I was definitely playing medium difficulty)). The handling was perfect.

I'd recommend taking a look at the tracks you're going to be racing in for an event. If there are a lot of twists and turns (I'm looking at you Zhejiang Circuit), you'd be better off with a lighter car as it won't spin out easily. Usually, with more power comes more weight, unless you're racing F1 or Prototype cars, and with more power comes oversteer. I definitely am not a fan of the way Codemasters represented the vehicle stats, and knowing more info about the cars will help picking the right one a much more informed decision. As for your specific event, I went with the Mustang GT4 - it handled well and didn't have a terrible power-to-weight ratio and gave me a good time on Hard difficulty. Once you head to Group 1, definitely go with the Aston Vantage GTE - that car is probably my favorite in the game just because of its incredible acceleration and the glue they've poured over the tires.
