The real missing tool about the A8Tune website, or this Wiki, is that we cannot easily compare the vehicles without asking the other players. That's why people always ask, when they have to buy a new car, "Is this car better than this other car?". But they should be able to deduce the answer by themselves if the data could be fused in a table or even better, in a colourful fancy graph.

As an example, let's say that I want to know what vehicle is the best choice for MP in the very "populous" [1310-1360] bracket (though, the precise definition of a "MP bracket" is still unclear to me), where you can meet MAX-PRO Donkervoorts (D1341), a lot of MAX-PRO Survolts (B1357) and a few other cars (Honda S2000, Lancer, etc.). In theory, we could even meet some S-Class vehicles in this bracket, like e.g. the Arrinera Hussarya GT (stock rank is S1289).

Since the FLU update, GameLoft has equalized the stats of the vehicles so that "(Top Speed + Nitro Speed) / Rank" give out a constant value among cars at Stock and MAX-PRO:


 * - vehicles now all have a (TS+N)/Rank value near 2.64 (or 2.65 for the most recent vehicles, like the Zerouno);
 * Stock vehicles have a (TS+N)/Rank value near 2.53;

It is possible that vehicles don't have a constant (TS+N)/Rank value, because the upgrade rank percentages still AREN'T equal among vehicles, which means that there may be some surprises if we had all the  ranks and (TS+N) values.

For example, Vehicle_A could be faster than Vehicle_B, even if at Stock and , Vehicle_B would be faster than Vehicle_A. I may be wrong here.

It seems that vehicles have a (TS+N)/Rank around 2.60, which obviously is better than Stock and worse than -.

So what would be very useful (and possibly quite fun to play with) would be a tool where you could check for a given rank what is the overall best vehicle. And in this computation, we should even include the Acceleration, Nitro efficiency and even maybe Drift radius to output a realistic value.
