@FE - I hear ya on the chore bit. I'm getting spent on this game and for what if they keep coming out with cars that dethrone others. If you do take a break, I hope you check back here or we are able to keep in touch periodically.

I just got beat by an M2 SE with my SLK on Azure Coast. I'm still at my 1406 tune and I may have caught up at the end of the 1 lap race but skidded and almost wrecked before the last stretch somehow. However, he was ahead the entire time and we were both triple boosted. I may have missed a bottle, but I was impressed.

M2 SE rank was 1372 (I'm guessing the same tune as Spud since his is 0500,5555 @1372), As you know, I could still upgrade one accel for level 5 but I don't think that would have mattered much.

He handled the S bends far better. Granted, my current setup of tap-to-steer makes it so I still hit walls on those S bends since I can't drift punch properly with this setup, it's simple not feasible as you know.

It does seem like the SLK SE does smoke it in a certain range (perhaps 1200-1300) not sure about 1350-1450 range. It does seem like the M2 SE is best for TLEs where the MP4/8 was ones preferred choice. That's why I might plan on MAXPROing it if I get it. Then I wouldn't have to use tokens for the last AI either. I hear you gotta be 0502,5050 for the last AI at minimum. Not sure about 0500,5555.

What I hate is this tuning game where I feel I have to get my vehicles just right for them to either be consistent winners or losers. I'm going to concentrate hard next season on switching to my Vulcan as my main racer.

I'm not sure what to do with the M2 SE though in regards to my SLK. Wonder if I tune up SLK a bit more towards 1450 so if I do face an M2 SE I can beat him, or if that's a lost cause. Not sure if I should try to get the M2 SE for MP when I have far better vehicles like the Vulcan and AHGT now. Could have the Sin soon and of course I have the SLK and Hommage still.

I don't really want my Vulcan to just sit while I use some M2 SE in MP races a my main car because it's dominant in a particular rank. The Vulcan IS dominant in it's rank and it's the best bracket to be racing in.

I suppose I could try and use tokens for last AI, get it at 0500,5050 or 0500,5555 and wait and see what to do on tuning. But I have seen guys using it in TLEs and I think MAXPRO it's good replacement for events where the MP4/8 was the best choice. Especially if the player doesn't have the MP4/8 MAXPRO'd like myself.

Funny how now I'm seeing exclusive deal for a CRE for 300k credits. I have mixed emotions about that based on the Serial Racing Boxes I purchased this month. I haven't seen another CRE deal yet but that was only yesterday.

It would be nice to have vehicles for laid back races so perhaps that's my AHGT. I think it'd want to tune it 1680 or less so I don't face MAXPRO VUlcans because then I might as well use my Vulcan no?

Cheers m8 don't be a stranger =]
