    I need something to replace this and I'm done with Most Wanted. All my hopes are pitted into No Limits right now.

    Can anyone guess which cars wil be IAP only. GL are giving us a shit storm of TLEs to try and get us to buy fuel, but I am glazing over and just going to put a run in on each of the current 36 TLEs and that will take all day.
    That C class warthog car drives well but what's the other Fugly cut and shut monstrosity like to drive?

    The Ferrari 308 GTS became available immediately after its TLE ended. That's curious, usually it took a week for TLE cars to appear in the dealer.

    175K credits for the new highest-ranked car in D class. I have other things to farm for/do at the moment...

    My guess is that any worldwide top 50 TLEs will be IAP and the divisions for credits. Although my first theory was that the top 50s will be the top of their class and I haven't really given up on that one either. Probably a mixture of both.

    So the Warthog looks like it may be IAP, It seems to be the Biome of C class, Ugly as hell but a nitro beast.

    Dave have you got an iPad yet?

    I had the same initial reaction as you, RB, but these new cups have demonstrated that pro upgrades do make cars much quicker than they have ever been able to go. There's currently someone with a "fully-pro" 1457 Lotus who went 59.9xx in an Alps Reverse cup. That's not a time the Lotus had ever been able to achieve, even when the tuning kits were stronger. (As a point of comparison, Public Enemy #1 went 1:04.1xx with a normal 1321 Lotus.)

    I also saw TC using an 1100-rated Mini Cooper yesterday (the pro maximum is 1175, so he's still a long way from reaching its full potential), and it was going 318 km/h. With the old tuning kit, its top speed was about 313-314 km/h.

    So yes, these pro upgrades make a huge difference. Unfortunately. for now, whoever forks out tons of money for multiple pro kits can essentially pay their way to easy victories in the latest cups. Hopefully the field will catch up in the next few weeks, and we'll all be able to race on more even terms.

    I see. If the gap is so significant anyway, it's even more puzzling that they felt the need to nerf the tuning kit. (Thanks for the correction on that, by the way!) I guess they were afraid it wouldn't be obvious enough that you're supposed to pay to win. :D

    Me, I've bought two 9k card packs, but I can't see myself doing that regularly. The whole cards thing doesn't make Asphalt more appealing to me at all. Then again, I realize I'm not relevant to Gameloft's bottom line — I'm too old, I spend my own money instead of my parents', and I vowed never to give Gameloft any money again half a year ago. So there's no harm in alienating me even further.

    I do, however, think that they'll shoot themselves in the foot eventually by turning into a Zynga clone in terms of obnoxiousness and money grabbing. But even that isn't a new theory of mine, as Rip73 will be glad to confirm. And the investors that are pushing Gameloft in that direction will probably have cashed out by the time Gameloft implodes.

    Yep I am totally with you on that, I am so close to burning all my double credits, double tanks, and blowing my 24mil credits on 2 weeks of fully boosted oblivion so that I am never tempted to come back.:D We will see.
    I also recon that GL were paid to include this last batch of random cars, as if they payed for the licence for that collection of junk then they need shooting.

    Just lmfao, big time! I'll give it a shot for two weeks and see where it leads.

    Hopefully those cars are not important. A bunch of crap, a pain in the eye.

    Edit: btw there is one mistake in your calculation, if you launch your double credits, you will not be finished in two weeks! ##

    I was going to set the whole lot off together and then keep buying extra tuning kits an intros until all the money was gone as well.
    The only thing keeping me here is all the past work I put in to build everything up. If it was all gone then maybe the pull would go as well.
    I should video it if I do.

    Here is just one example of what a few pro upgrades can do to your car. My current 1504 Biome has its drive train at level 2, and the exhaust and tires at level 1. Yet I was able to comfortably beat PE's 1486 extra tank time in season 4/Alps/B-class.

    The nitro was always 10 minutes and tuning is 15 minutes...but the nitro should be equal time

    I don't think it always was that time. It has been for me as I only started playing after the Dubai update but I believe it was much longer before, hours instead of minutes and more expensive in credits.

    I agree on the equal time thing. I always use 2 kits and 3 nitro when I'm using them, do my TLEs and go onto MP for the rest of the half hour until they run out.

    Yes,the nitro was 2 hours and cost 17500(I believe) and the tuning kit was 8 hours and its cost was 40000 coins!
