Vehicle counterpart

A vehicle counterpart is a vehicle that has similar strong, average, and weak stats to another vehicle. Vehicle counterparts first appear in Mario Kart Wii, where they may come in sets, which can be further divided into different groups.
There are three types of counterparts a vehicle can have:
* Size Class Counterpart: A vehicle counterpart from a different size class.
* Kart/Bike Counterpart: A bike or kart counterpart in the same weight class and group.
* Group Counterpart: A vehicle counterpart from a different group, regardless of whether they are in the same weight class.
Each size class counterpart differs as follows:
* Small counterparts do well on almost every single stats, with the exceptions being speed and weight.
* Medium counterparts have slightly better speed and weight, but do slightly worse on every other stat.
* Large counterparts have significantly better speed and weight, but do significantly worse on every other stat.
The stat difference is usually more abrupt from Medium to Large than it is from Small to Medium. In terms of Kart/Bike counterparts, bikes do slightly better in every stat, except for speed and weight, where karts do better.
