* JokeCharacter: The Chili from ''2'' and its remasters is intended to be one. It has good handling... and that's about it. The car's slow to accelerate, has a low top speed, poor nitro, weak strength, not heavy, and as a Tier 1 car in the Derby class, it has very little upgrade options. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's the cheapest car in the game and is also the car used in two really hard challenges: The final derby in Carnage Mode and the achievement "Real Habanero" in ''Collector's Edition'', which requires you to win all Derby cups in a stock Chili.

* BalanceBuff: Nitro boost upgrades in ''2'' (and ''Head-On'', since it directly retains its engine) reduces a lot of the car's strength (the bigger tiers had the potential of reducing the strength by ''half''), making it a very unpopular upgrade option among the players. ''Ultimate Carnage'' buffed it by significantly reducing the strength penalty, making it a more viable choice for late-game.
* BrilliantButLazy: In ''2'' and its remasters, Ray Carter's bio in the loading screen has him being described as "skillful enough to win... if he feels like it". True to form, while Carter ''can'' finish on top of the pack, he finishes in the back more often than not.

** Special mention goes to Malcov in ''[=FlatOut 2=]'' races. He is incredibly fast on pure pace despite having a habit of choosing the slowest and biggest cars of the first tier cars of each class; however, his driving style is so erratic, most of the time, he will finish dead last because he crashed onto pretty much ''everything on the track''.
