HookedOnRacingGL:

Before the FLU, the upgrade rank percentages for the ARSE were 10 / 50 / 10 / 30%. So, maxing nitro used to add 30% x (1357 - 459) to the rank, or a whopping 269, for a meager extra nitro of 13.5 km/h (unboosted; 15.8 with TK). Clearly a bad deal.

Once FLUey, the %ages are 1 / 87 / 1 / 11%. So, maxing nitro currently adds 11% x (1332 - 852) to the rank, or a much more reasonable 53 for the same 13.5 / 15.8 km/h. Is it a good deal?

Depends on the rank around which you want to compete, according to your matchmaking experience. The expected added ranks from nitro levels 1 to 5 are 5.3, 7.9, 10.6, 13.2 and 15.8. (The game will round them up or down unpredictably as they're applied.) As to suspension, the expected added ranks are 2.7, 3.4, 4.1, 4.8 and 5.5, for 4.9 km/h of added nitro.
