@ Gtthbkup

Thanks dude!

I didn't count them but I'm pretty much sure you'll get at least 2 more engines at lab 4. So you'll be good to make it 5050pro.

And yes it's possible to defeat the final AI with 0500max 5050pro. For me it was easy I did it on my third try.

By the way I ended up tuning it immediately up to 5550max 5050pro @1290 today. I didn't like it @1111. Too many guys @1111. And too many guys near 1200 outtuning the 1111 tune slightly. It basically becomes a low rank `max pro` Vulcan @1290 with my 5550max 5050pro tune. I smoked everything in the 20 something ticket races I did with it today, including almost all similarly ranked Audis. I utterly crushed all similarly ranked M2 SEs and SLKs and I soundly defeated almost all the AR8SEs I met. I narrowly lost to a single AR8SE and I'm sure he had his acceleration and handling pretty much buffed if not maxed. His tune was slightly higher than mine like 1296 or something.

So you can safely buff your acceleration and handling as much as you want and can. Just don't touch the nitro. The rank costs aren't worth the meager gains in top speed. And likewise suspension and exhaust upgrades aren't much worth the ranks they add. If I ever change my 5050pro upgrades, I'd add some exhaust I think. But for now I'm staying at 5550max 5050pro @1290 smoking anything and everything :D I just did to my AR8SE what I did to my SLK and it's basically a max pro Vulcan @1290 right now :D I'm extremely satisfied with my SLK and so am I with my AR8SE too now :D

@ 1111 almost no skill is required to drive the AR8SE well. I wouldn't be able to make my skill count well at that rank. It accelerates too slowly, it drifts too slowly. Anyone can drive it well at that rank. But @1290 at my tune it's basically a low ranked max pro Vulcan and it requires great skill to use its maxed acceleration and drifting. It makes a HUGE difference at the start and at turns. It can drift and turn EXTREMELY sharply and fast. Which can also make you crash if you're not careful though. But if you drive well, you'll just smoke everything ranked similarly.

I wouldn't advise moving up to 1400 with the Audi coz it will meet SLK with maxed acceleration and handling and will lose to them (if they are driven well) in most tracks so long as its 2 laps or more. The speed difference is just too much and if the SLKs acceleration and handling is maxed you are pretty much toast in a two lap race if you can't knock them down at the start. They'll be like at least 50-60km/hs faster than you and once they survive the start and  pick up their speed they'll surely catch you in a two lap race if they are skilled.
