PLEASE HELP! Calling all advanced SLK 55 SE drivers...

UPGRADING I just got this yeterday by blueprinting it. I was elated finally assembling 18 precious blueprints for this baby. I come to find out that I had upgraded this beast 1111 way back when it was a TLE car. Oh well... I don't mind the accel and handling, but nitro! Ugh. Waste of 26 rank points.

I quickly upgraded top speed to 4. That took me to 1/4/1/1. And then pro kitted it to 3/0/4/0 depleting my orange V8s. I first elite tuned to 8800 and joined ticketed MP races. Dumb move. I figured, how can I lose with a 300mph triple boosted SLK 55 at 1250 rank?

Got my ass handed to me in Venice, London Eye and Great Wall by Cobras and M2s. Lost about 60 points in 3 races. Handling and acceleration are attrocious on this car and I don't know how to drive it to compensate.

So I elite tuned to 4/8/4/0 and will try that. Ugh.

DRIVING IT Fuck... this thing is a rocket-powered bathtub on wheels. Takes FOREVER to get to top speed. Loses SO MUCH speed with wall rubs, which happen constantly because the handling is so bad. 90 degree turns are a stress-inducing nightmare. London Eye was a crash both laps on that dogleg left turn. Then 15 seconds to get my speed back.

The worst part about it, is the elite tuning depletes after 3 races. How do you practice driving it? I guess I should stick to my Cobra and Vulcan for a few weeks while I practice, huh?

BUT HOW DO YOU TAKE 90 DEGREE TURNS??? Drift punch barely works. No matter how early you start your turn this thing clusterfucks into a wall.

Any advice on tuning a 1/4/1/1 3/0/4/0 and 4840 tune for MP?

And any advice on learning to drive this thing?

Thanks!
