I've just tried the Zipper and the Cougar again. The Zipper is vastly inferior to the Toyeca, the latter looks like cheating compared to it, way faster and turns sharplier. The Toyeca is one of the cars that turns sharpliest and skids less, certainly so compared to cars with similar speed, I can't see why you say that it reacts badly at curves.

The Cougar is better than the Zipper, I got good results with it but not as good as with the Toyeca. It's only marginally faster but it doesn't pay off for its low acceleration, which makes it way slower on the average when having to speed up at every moment after slowing down at curves, especially in the harder courses. And weight is actually a good thing, and the Cougar is in fact nearly exactly as heavy as the Toyeca, which is good.

Well you see, with Toyeca it was quite hard for me to win for example the first track of the last, platinum cup, while with Cougar (after I unlocked it by winning the cup) it was much easier for me due to it's faster speed. The slightly lower acceleration isn't an issue since when Cougar accelerates it overmatches the faster accelerating, but not as fast cars. And on the curves it's ideal. No idea *shrugs* maybe it's just my style of steering that Cougar suits me better, at least I never failed to reach the first place on every track with it while it wasn't the case with Toyeca. If you set the speed display in the options to kmh or similar, so it shows the metric speed, you'll see the speed difference between Toyeca and Cougar especially clear. Toyeca is very fast, but Cougar is even faster
