These hybrids are based on the cars seen racing in the Trans Am series on Speedvision.  Specs are from the Trans Am website.

Chevrolet

Camaro added 1/30/02
('97 Camaro Z28)
666 hp
2729 lbs.

1)  Put in these codes:
Engine:  0252
Drivetrain:  005f
Weight:  003d
Front Tires:  1227
Rear Tires:  1227
Displacement:  01f0
Computer Chip:  01f0
Downforce:  b49e

2)  Buy Racing Modification

3)  Set springs to 14.3/13.2

This is a great handling car, though it will get away from you from time to time.  It is also plagued by a jumpy rpm needle, which ruins acceleration past ~80 mph.  This can probably be fixed by using the Super Soft tires that you can buy instead of the ones included above.

0-60 = 2.9 seconds
0-100 = 6.3 seconds
400m = 10.7 seconds @ 137 mph
Top Speed = 210+ mph

Corvette added 1/30/02
(Corvette ZR-1)
660 hp
2729 lbs.

1)  Put in these codes:
Engine:  023f
Drivetrain:  005f
Weight:  003d
Displacement:  004a
Front Tires:  1227
Rear Tires:  1227
Downforce:  b4a1

2)  Buy Racing Modification

3)  Set springs to 14.1/13.0

This is another great car, extremely quick and very fast.  Unfortunately, it is also plagued by the jumpy rpm needle, which you can probably fix by buying super soft tires instead of using the tire codes above.

0-60 = 2.9 seconds
0-100 = 5.7 seconds
400m = 10.5 seconds @ 142 mph
Top Speed = 220+ mph

Detomaso

Mangusta added 1/30/02

2749 lbs.

1)  Put in these codes:
Engine:  0201
Drivetrain:  005f
Weight:  0053
Front Tires:  1227
Rear Tires:  1227
Downforce:  b49e

This car's handling is very tricky, if you do anything wrong at all, you WILL pay for it, usually by spinning out.  However, once you can control it well enough, it is a great car, one of the best hybrids in this group.

0-60 = 3.1 seconds
0-100 = 5.7 seconds
400m = 10.6 seconds
Top Speed = 210 mph

Engine:  024a
Weight:  0053
Displacement:  0f55

This car is probably the best car of the group, at least for my driving style.  Plus it's extremely fast, which is always good.

0-60 = 3.2 seconds
0-100 = 5.7 seconds
400m = 10.4 seconds @ 144 mph

This car also has great handling.  It is also very fast and very easy to spin if you aren't careful.

0-60 = 3.1 seconds
0-100 = 5.5 seconds
400m = 10.4 seconds @ 146 mph

Downforce:  b497

2)  Buy Racing Modification

3)  Set auto gear to 10, Ride height to 95/95, and springs to 13.3/12.7

This car's handling is perfect on tracks like Tahiti Road.  It may give a little trouble on some other tracks though...

0-100 = 5.7 seconds
400m = 10.4 seconds @ 142 mph
Top Speed = ~200 mph

Downforce:  b48c

2)  Buy Racing Modification and Semi Racing Muffler

This car's handling is great, it will do almost anything you want it to do.  Unfortunately, it is yet another hybrid plagued by a jumpy rpm needle.  Use the same advice in car descriptions above to fix this.

0-60 = 3.0 seconds
0-100 = 6.4 seconds
400m = 10.9 seconds @ 137 mph
Top Speed = ~180
