Thanks for the reply!

At this time I have completed the R&D and the vehicle sits at 1/5/1/4 5/0/5/0 and barely squeaked out a win on the final stage triple boosted. I didn't need to do any boost for the other stages (but I did do a tune and full nitros for the last knockdown - 41)

I mostly prefer to do the MP races and harvest what I can unboosted from the TLEs. My best car by far is the X2 at 10/0/10/5 and no more engines for it. I can get beat by most AIEs but it solves the frustration of getting beat by every ARSE.

I was less than half a second from getting that AIE on the last stage but could not drift tight enough on that loop to the ramp (which is where it seems everyone else catches the ghost car). I was ahead one time going into the last curve and brushed a wall which made me plow into that last vehicle. I think I am liking these R&Ds a lot but there is a frustration level. Truth be told, you could say I was half a second short or 500 tokens. If I had 2500 tokens I would have bought it but I only had 2000 and bought many keys thinking I was "this" close...A few engines may have made a difference too.

Per your suggestion I am going to max the thing since I have the required engines (not sure where they came from, but got 'em). Thanks!
