Overall, this DLC is very much a "what you see is what you get and no more" kind of thing. None of the cars in this DLC have customization other than paint and engine class, and they're all very eye-catching but not very good choices to race with. The Pocket Rocket is the best in terms of fun (seriously, it's the best small meme car), and the DragSlayer is appropriately fast in a straight line, but the other three all just kind of suck.

Bugzilla
If you've done more than a few Tournament challenges, you've most likely driven the Bugzilla, and that will continue to be the only place you drive it. There's really no point in using it anywhere else because it just isn't good. It looks like a monster truck but it's still a Buggy, just with big tires. It's got a short wheelbase, likes to roll over if you get hit wrong, and isn't all that much more durable than the regular Buggy either. Neat vibe but not great to drive unless it's against a bunch of other Special-class vehicles, and even then it's iffy.

DragSlayer
One of the two vehicles in this DLC that are actually worth getting. It's a RoadSlayer derivative, so you're already starting from a decent performance baseline. The handling isn't super great so you have to slide it through basically every corner regardless of how shallow it is, which ends up costing most of your speed. That being said, it's got the acceleration to mostly make up for it, so the DragSlayer can be a pretty solid competitor on certain tracks once you get a feel for it. It's a shame it doesn't have any customization other than paint, though, because I feel like there could have been some real potential here.

Edit: After downgrading it to B-class, I'm having a much better time with the DragSlayer. The acceleration is still fantastic compared to anything else in the class, and the corner handling is less of a concern because the car has less inertia at the lower speeds that B-class runs at. I wouldn't call it competitive (the regular RoadSlayer is still just a better all-rounder option), but it's definitely more usable. The lack of customization is still disappointing, though.

KillerPig
The KillerPig takes everything that the KillerBee is good at and does absolutely none of it. It's fat, it's slow, it's ugly, and it's top-heavy. I cannot think of a single scenario where it would be a sensible choice. It isn't even a good derby car because it's still based on a KillerBee, so it only has a strength of 2.2 (which can't be improved because none of the cars in this DLC have armor customization). It's just awful, and not in an affectionate way.

Pocket Rocket
Oddly enough, this shrunk-down Speedemon might be the best thing in the DLC. It has an extremely low center of gravity, meaning that it almost feels glued to the ground and (unlike the other small meme cars) you aren't just fighting to stay upright half the time. The engine placement makes it rather nose-heavy which improves handling and control, but makes it prone to understeer at higher speeds. However, the weight distribution also means that you can fully unlock the differential and it will drive almost like a FWD car, but...in a good way? In short, it's actually a lot of fun!
The lack of customization doesn't even count against it because none of the other small meme cars have anything other than paint choices either. It's weird for a small meme car to be the best car in this pack, but honestly it is.

WarDigger
The WarDigger is a sidegrade to the MudDigger at best. It's a little faster and a little stronger, but weighs a lot more and handles far worse. This, combined with the fact that it's almost literally built like a tank, means that its only real use is what you see everyone who uses it in multiplayer doing: corner bombing and generally trying to ruin everyone else's day. It's a shame, because it does look really cool. Otherwise, though, it's basically just the MudDigger but slightly more brick-like in pretty much every way. It'd be better off as an extra armor set for the MudDigger instead of a standalone vehicle.
