The Racers in Ignition

Ignition has, in total, eleven cars. However, you only get seven to start with. To get hold of the rest you need to complete the higher difficulty levels.

Beginners

The following cars are available to play right from the minute you first start playing.

Coop

This car won't get you far in the big leagues without a lot of practice and skill, but it can be harnessed. Sporting the best top speed and a high acceleration, it is great for speed races, but its poor handling means that twisty tracks will throw it off the trail more often than not.

Evac

This is the lame dog of the pack. It is painfully slow, and you're more likely to passout than pass the finish line. It's supposed to have the best grip, but this doesn't usually outweigh the snail speed and poor turbo, and being a light vehicle it bounces and spins a lot.

Enforcer

Reasonable on corners but not great, this car's greatest moment is on the road, where its good speed and strong turbo will kick it down the track. A good car for speedways and pretty responsive on less favourable terrains too.

Redneck

Very similar to the Enforcer, but with notable differences. The Redneck has slightly better grip, indeed more able to show off your powerslides, and is designed to turbo more often, using this to advance its position at every oppurtunity.

School Bus

Though laughed at, and often looked upon as a bit of a joke, the school bus is in fact one of the best vehicles in the hands of a knowing driver. It can smash opponents out of its way, block the road, and corner like a dream. What it lacks in speed it gains in sheer responsiveness. It is very possible to complete the Pro Championship with this vehicle, so don't laugh at it. It may well overtake you or knock you into a ravine.

Bug

Being light, like the Coop, this car is in real trouble if it spins, often rotating several times to end up facing the wrong way. However, this is still a good vehicle on most tracks, and it has very nice handling for getting round tight corners.

Smoke

This racer is heavy. Corners slowly but surely and has a low top speed. In all, this one requires some serious skill to get past the finish line with any good placing. But if the truck's heavy, sluggish cornering and tank-like road-holding skills are used to their full, it might just do the trick on some courses. Not likely to get you through the Pro Championship, though.

Speed Demons

The following cars cannot be selected immediately. It says in each car's table when they are made available.

Banana

This is a nice, fast car but, despite what the manual says, its handling will cause problems on some terrain. It's still a very nice car, and worthy of the higher championships, but full use of its impressive turbo must be made on the straights. This car was designed for overtaking in style.

Monster

With its heavy weight and great handling, this truck can corner at great speed. On a sharp corner where a lighter vehicle would crash and spin wildly, the Monster can crash and spin to face roughly the right direction, giving it a massive advantage on the winding track. Its good top speed and mad turbo make it a great choice on the speedways too. This truck is easily worthy of the Pro Championship.

Vegas

I've no idea who Outlaw is, but Vegas sure as Hell doesn't have good grip. Vegas is one fast car, with great acceleration, but it's always like driving a shopping trolley as he meanders along straights and bounces dizzyingly around corners. However, if you can tame the Vegas, you are guaranteed success, as his turbo will destroy all in his path. Just don't aim it at a corner.

Ignition

Indeed the ultimate car. The speed of Vegas on rocket fuel, the grip of Smoke, and the manoeuvrability of the School Bus. This car will break all your best times in half.
