@FE - I believe you are absolutely correct regarding the SLK and other two vehicles.

To kindly quote Spud on the M2 SE thread, he indicated "...I’m 0501 5555 rank 1388 w/ TK 453 kmh and I dominated everyone until reaching a 1900s rating, then skillful 1400s ranked SLK SEs started kicking my butt a a little bit, but I can sometimes keep up with even that OP crew."

If I can max accel and handling but need to elite tune 0800 to be under 1430-1450, do you think I should just leave accel at level 4 so I can tune 8800 in MP? I know you thought 8800 was best for SLK but want to ask this because it's going to be damn close and I believe these are my options. I will be able to get handling to 5 though, I believe. I still haven't ran the numbers yet (all this A8 is making my head hurt) but I will know before I'm anywhere near 1430.

Not to beat a dead horse even more but I'm still not sure on the Hommage tune, haha. I'm going to just keep it in reserve at 1562 for now. I have enough tuning and playing going on with the SLK, AHGT, M2 SE, etc. there's no rush. I either smoke everyone or get smoked. Depends if there are 1500s Vulcans in the mix or vehicles in the 1600s usually. As you always said, it's a victim of terrible matchmaking. While tuning accel to level 2 will let me not only feed on the guys with 0 accel, but also 0 handling (since I have 2 handling) I just don't know if it's going to be what I want it to be, a main MP car for me. Especially when I have the AHGT now and plan on using the Vulcan as my main MP car starting next season. Not to mention using the SLK a lot more I think.

Then again, tuning to 1569 might not change much at all. Even if it doesn't change matchmaking, I might not suddenly dominate Vulcans and stuff. So, it might not even matter if I tune accel to level 2 and still keep it in reserve, because it will be right where it is now, just slightly more competitive.

As mentioned before, it's my go to vehicle for free races because I just like the car. I also like racing a vehicle that doesn't accel quite as fast as others but has greater TS.

With time I may decide something on the Hommage, but probably not before end of next season.

I'm also about to win the Aston Martin One-77 like I said. Might as well go for top 2,000 in the cup if that's all I need to assemble. After watching a HectorX review of it, it's the third best A class car after the Hommage and Camaro. Not sure if it will have any use in MP for me though, aside from free race fun. Perhaps it will be featured in those one-off events where only certain class A vehicles are available to use and it's the best choice. That is, unless you have any other thoughts on the matter. I was hoping it would be some rarely non-used hidden gem of a vehicle, just like I'm hoping on the Egoista, lol. However, that appears to be a pipe dream because the Egoista BPs are now available from daily video AD awards, hehe. The things damn expensive to MAXPRO too, 4.5mil about if I remember correctly!

Audi jabber - The thing also has token only upgrades apparently? Bleh BLah! Although I have 5-6 free class upgrades from Mastery available, I'm not even sure if I'm going to go for this thing, you? Unless it proves very useful someplace other than MP ranks below 1200 or whatever. Personally, I don't like how the thing looks either. Heh, everything from the mesh around the wheel spokes, to the front grill, to the decal. The SLK I don't mind for some reason, but this thing...not that I'm one to bark about looks in a video game. Function over form.

-Always look forward to your thoroughly thought out replies. Cheers m8! =)
