At the start of Chapter 2 you have 53,000 G. Among the standard cars available at this point, the Subaru BRZ ’21 is the strongest all-round choice because it combines a C-class rating with excellent braking and grip while still leaving 19,000 G in reserve.

| Dodge Challenger R/T ’16 | 40,000 G | D 298 | 2.94 / 4.49 / 3.63 / 1.11 / 3.40 | Fast, but much weaker braking/grip |
| Alfa Romeo Giulietta III ’14 | 29,000 G | D 291 | 2.19 / 4.48 / 4.69 / 0.87 / 5.99 | Cheap balanced alternative |
| Abarth 695 Biposto ’16 | 31,000 G | D 292 | 1.61 / 4.83 / 4.45 / 1.01 / 8.07 | Strong acceleration/lightness |

| Mazda MX-5 (NA) ’93 | 26,000 G | D 244 | 0.86 / 1.50 / 4.53 / 1.04 / 8.30 | Cheapest, but lower opening rating |
| Nissan Silvia (S15) ’00 | 70,000 G | C 326 | 2.84 / 4.86 / 5.94 / 2.00 / 6.88 | Strong next car, not initially affordable |
| Honda S2000 Gear.Club ’03 | 47,000 G | C 328 | 2.18 / 4.96 / 6.69 / 2.03 / 6.82 | Pre-Order Edition; exclude from standard route |
Why not rush to the Silvia?
The Nissan Silvia S15 costs 70,000 G and starts at C326. A BRZ with the complete Level 1 package reaches roughly the same performance-rating range while remaining highly competitive. Buying the Silvia therefore does not automatically create a meaningful performance jump over a properly developed BRZ.
