Took the new Car Pass cars for a spin and it's a mixed bag.
The Valkyrie AMR Pro or whatever is weird. All the downforce it has over the regular version really makes a huge difference and it is insanely fast, to the point that it feels like an arcade game or something. It also has this weird sproingy-ness to it above like 120mph, on the straights it's kinda like porpoising but it also does it in corners too and it's distracting, and in very high speed cornering it's pretty unnerving. Obviously can't tune it yet so dunno if it's fixable.
The Caddy TA car is another TA car. Really nothing to say here and drives pretty much exactly like the other two. Has a cute little "anything worth doing is worth overdoing" slogan on the rear of it. It should be more popular with cockpit drivers as it is a bit easier to see out of than the other two.
Ferrari 488 GTE is pretty much what you would expect it to be too. Like it's fine, but nothing special and not my first choice of GTE car, and obviously dunno how it will do in the hoppers yet. I see some people elsewhere arguing that it isn't even an Evo model, but actually just a 2017 model that Risi ran without the Evo kit at Daytona in 2019 which is why it's called a 2019 in-game but... I can't really care.
For the "Featured Cars" I forgot to try the 430 and didn't care to drive the Murcielago (I'd bet the house on understeer), but '65 Giulia, new Giulia and 124 all drive like you would expect. Of course everyone can drive the Delta now, it has a weird blow-off valve noise or something... seems to work okay in hood/cockpit view, but in chase cam it just makes a little tick/scratching noise?
Also can confirm the Sauber sound still sucks (I can't even tell if it has changed), and the TA Challenger makes noise again (although the brake lights are still stuck on).
The kerbs at Yas Marina are definitely much improved, and so far I haven't totaled my car on any of the red anti-cut squares of death at Silverstone which is kind of a small/specific detail but a big thing at the same time.
Also when the colors glitch in private lobbies, the Valkyrie AMR Pro's metallic green looks beautiful on the Giulia sedan and Delta, going to have to try to figure out how to make it with the custom color thing.
