This Arcade Mode Car Comparison will search and display information for all cars available in arcade mode.

Many thanks to the many people who inspired this page, most noticeably Nick Albright. The data is from the North American version of the game.

This page is sort of a tutorial. Clicking one of the following items will execute an Arcade Car Comparison query as if you had filled out the form.

The filled-in form will be shown on the generated page, followed by the results of the query. Study the form to learn how the query is done. You can modify it to try a slightly different query. Note that both form and results look much better if the window is reasonably wide.

Or, if you already know what you're doing, go straight to the Arcade Car Comparison to start a brand-new query.

• Show all A class cars, ordered as in the game.
• Show all B class cars, ordered as in the game.
• Show all C class cars, ordered as in the game.
• Show the Skyline(s) available, as individual entries.
• Show just the number of cars available from each manufacturer.
• Give as the count the total number of distinct records in the available data.
• Show the cars available at the beginning.
• Sort those cars by BHP instead.
• Show just the number of cars for each Manufacturer available at the beginning.

Sorry, this tutorial is not great, but it was easy to do. I also found it very useful when doing my own testing.

When you see the form, basically fill in at the top of the form the characteristics, and the value you want them to match how. The tricky part is selecting the fields you want to see in the result. This form makes use of "multiple selection" for those selectors, and how to do this varies depending upon the version of the browser you are using. The Netscape we have here on UNIX interprets any mouse selection in those lists as a "toggle", while Netscape on my PC requires that the "control" key be pressed at the same time to work like that. IE on my iMac requires that the "apple" key be pressed. The "sort" menus work in a similar fashion, but can be ignored for your first queries; output will be sorted by the selected fields.
