* Due to its low top speed of only {{convert|192|km/h|mph|sp=us}}, the Warthog is not recommended for longer routes, especially Head-to-Head Races, Sprints, Trails, and long Circuits, even more so on any Drivatar Difficulty exceeding Pro. The Warthog will easily be overtaken by hypercars/track cars like the Mosler MT900S, Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione, and Apollo Intensa Emozione, as well as other offroad-oriented vehicles like the Bowler EXR S and MG Metro 6R4.

** It does have a slightly higher chance of appearing in a Super Wheelspin though. Even then, depending on your luck, it may be better to obtain the M12S CST through the Autoshow for the full 850,000 CR price or through the Auction House for a lower price.

** Despite having a wider range of upgrades than before, it is still ineffective in Rivals or PvP events featuring S1 Class vehicles or higher due to the strong presence and superior performance of vehicles like the Ford F-150 Prerunner DeBerti Design Truck, Ferrari 488 Pista, Porsche 959, McLaren 720S Spider, etc., as it does not have enough upgrades to reach the top of S1 Class.

*** In spite of this, Drivatars can be seen driving the M12S with a class of S1 860. This is most easily observed if the player drives a vehicle with a class of at least S1 865 and enters a race event with a small list of eligible vehicles, including the M12S itself.

** The highest speed it can reach is 163 mph (263 km/h), which can be achieved with widening the vehicle's gear ratios. Adjusting the Final Drive to a lower value like 4.90 is enough, although the player can also fine-tune the individual gear ratios to their liking.

*** With the increased speed, the Warthog is more capable of taking on longer drag race routes, but its increased speed's effectiveness still diminishes drastically on The Juggernaut, which is 2.6 mi (4.2 km) long, where it is easily overtaken by the likes of the Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione, Koenigsegg CC8S, and Rimac C_Two.

* Exercise caution when using the Warthog for A Class online races, especially Road Racing Series and Street Scene events, as there is a high chance Class A "kings" like the Hot Wheels Bone Shaker, Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2, and/or Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe will appear, none of which it can compete with (especially the Bone Shaker).
