NFSU2 Cars performances update

Use binary 2.8.3 to install:
run binary.exe as administrator - select user mode - select the install_this_one.end file - open - select the directory where the game is installed - ok - save files? yes - done.

Game version required: 1.2.

I tried to balance the game, nerf the OP starting cars and make late game cars more viable.
Recommended to play with catch up disabled and improved skill for the opponents.
Feel free to test it and give feedback.

I have modified mostly fully upgraded cars, not stock, with some exceptions where the top speed was too big, and the handling is somewhat affected. Yes i agree.

The thing is, when upgrades come into play, especially stage 3, realism goes out of the window. But in vanilla game, non-modified cars have accurate stats. Would you agree with that?
