You're very welcome dude! I'm always glad I can be helpful. I enjoy it!

About the SLK, it's with the elite tune. Stay below 1450. 1450+120 is 1570 which means you can get matched with 1560-1570 Hommages on a regular basis if you take your SLK to 1450. And you wouldn't want that. You can still defeat them but, why would you do that when you can easily crush any Camaro?

I think you can surpass my tune relatively safely enough. But don't hit 1450. Even 1440 might match you with 1560 Hommages when you add 120 to it. Today, I met with a Hommage in 1530s in my 1416 SLK. I dispatched him easily but it was harder than dealing with Camaros. I'm 100% sure I can beat any Camaro if I can't crash. But Hommages are much more dangerous. They drift and accelerate way better than Camaros.

And I think 8800 elite tune is always superior to 0800 elite tune for the SLK except for maybe Tokyo. So plan accordingly. Your rank will be around 27 points higher but you'll enjoy much much much better acceleration with the 8800 elite tune. It is crucial as most races are decided at the start and at the first turn. The better you accelerate, the better you can defeat other SLKs. And the less chance you'll get knocked down at the start.

I strongly advise you not to take your Hommage to 1680. There, the Vulcan is the undisputed king. Trust me. And trust Feuerrm and other gurus. Even Hussies have a very hard time agains the Vulcan there. They are dominated by the Vulcan in 1680s. SINs are a bit better than the Hussies at that rank I think. But, still Vulcan is the king.

In 1562 the Hommage is the undisputed king. If you like your match making, stay there. Upgrade to 1680 only if you find your matchmaking horrible. But never be in a hurry as you have your MP4 25 at your disposal for MP.

And mind you, when you take your Hommage to 1680 you will be dominated by the 1679 Vulcan and also the Hussies and the SINs. What is more you will meet tons of Vulcans, Hussies between 1700-1750. And you can't compete with them upgrading further. Vulcans and Hussies get better and better than the Hommage when you go nearer the max pro ranks.
