With the elite cars, you have the option of fine tuning each performance aspect of the car (Acceleration, Top speed, Handling & Nitro). When you first purchase the car, the tuning will be set to default (nothing increased/decreased). Each aspect has its own slider and increasing 1 particular aspect will slightly decrease the other 3. After you've decided on the tune up, you'll have to pay for a small credits fee to apply the tuning.The new tune up takes times to complete and varies with each car or you could pay tokens to skip the wait. To make the most out of Elite Tuning, the car's acceleration and handling should be decreased to compensate for a higher top speed & nitro boost.

The second part of Elite Tuning is vehicle condition. After a certain amount of use, the car will have its performance stats reduced to indicate a degraded condition. To revert the reduction, you'll have to pay & wait for another tune up. Each race (SP, MP & Events) will count against the condition bar, although the amount deducted is based on how much racing you did. Leaving a race right at the start will only take off 1 segment while finishing a race can take up a third of the entire bar. The condition bar is glitched in that you could race with an elite car multiple times to use up the enitre condition bar but the game will still show its in perfect / good condition with no performance reduction, closing and reopening the game will however update the bar.

With the condition bar, its a ripoff since you can only do a handful of races before having to pay and wait again. Its even more useless since you'll inevitably end up racing against Trions, 2016 Camaros, Cobras and 3.0 CSL's in multiplayer. All of which have much better overall performance than the current and upcoming elite cars.
