True, and at least the Elite tuning feature is not permanent unlike MAXing + PROing, but is still frustrating because it takes a lot of trial and error unless you know what you're doing, and even then you have to wait nearly 3 hours because it won't let you test out your new configs right away.

As for those configs, they would seem appropriate since cars like the M2 and SV don't have great acceleration but have super-efficient nitro and top speed. Lamborghinis in general seem to favor acceleration when already moving, but that's if they can survive being knocked down by other faster cars right off the start line.

I contemplated getting the RX-8 a while back but I was more concerned with saving Tokens for better cars, then a glitch made me lose over 6000 Tokens when the MP League update came out. I was quite wary of spending that much after trying to claim back the missing Tokens from Customer Care.

I suppose another downside would be that we spend so much time saving Tokens, that we often forget what we were saving them for in the first place ... then we learn that these Elite Cars can't be used to farm for Tokens unless they're in TLEs which include said cars ...
