A rocket indeed! Well done on reaching the top 700!

I'm currently 4856th position on Android with just over 6000 points. I'm sure it might be safe for within the top 7000 which is all I really need. I've not really been going all out on this one like I did with the MP4-25's MPE because the holiday week has been super busy. Like you, I shall observe the tunings that prevail when this Event finishes.

We'll probably see a lot less BMW M2s and Cobras in the lower brackets when this MPE is done.

MP will be flooded by hordes of MB SLK 55 AMG SEs for sure, and will become even more of a dirty scrap just like this Event!

Yes and no. It's definitely a powerful car, but a lot of it comes down to pure luck and skills. The car can't do all the work and perform miracles on its own, you need sharp skills to tame it and decent match-making to ensure your wins. A lot of the time you'll get easy wins but mostly against noobs and maybe the occasional rare skilled opponent. If you get killed at the start on a one-lap race, you are done. We are talking minimum -10 losses each time. Or worse, if you meet up against one or two faster SEs, or in the lower brackets an MP-tuned 959, your skills better be god-like.

One thing I read on the official Gameloft forums is that the Handling gets much worse the more you upgrade it, even more so than the Camaro 2016 SS, though since I don't own the car I can't confirm nor deny that, but I do know from this MPE that the car just likes to go where it wants and you have to fight to control it.

You could Elite-tune it for better Acceleration or Top Speed, but again depending on your car rank, your opponents and the match-making, and especially now that there will be a whole lot more of them, might not always guarantee a spot in the Champion League unless you play strategically.

YMMV on that one, though!
