C, D, and E Class Handling Rebalance

The NFS:SA Team continues the handling overhaul with a comprehensive rebalance of C, D, and E class vehicles. Following the successful A and B class updates from earlier this year, Remolit has brought new life to the mid and lower tier classes.

[E Class] - Every vehicle now has very distinct characteristics. The class has become slightly slower than before, owing to Drivetrain bug fix.
[D Class] - Is no longer slower than E class around the track. Follows E class' differing characteristics, and had drivetype changes - Vincent and Previon to RWD; Kuruma to FWD.
[C Class] - Class of undrivable death traps no more, each car is now more capable and enjoyable to drive. Most notably, Blista is now the only FWD of the class - Flash and Uranus have been swapped to AWD, and Euros to RWD.

Note: every updated class had the Drivetrain bug fixed - the speedometer displaying 4 gears is not indicative of the bug being active.

Important: Top times for C, D, and E classes have been frozen and new records will not be registered until further notice. 
This allows for community testing and potential fine-tuning before leaderboards reopen. Pre-update records can still be viewed on the forum.

Special thanks to nide, forre, and Raven for their continued testing support.
