I’ve just completed Stage 3, and have applied only level 1 upgrades (R$ only) so far. I’ve read through the comments and it seems there are at least a dozen recommended upgrade strategies as you get to the upper Stages.

Based on the comments I’ve read, as well as my own experience during the first 3 Stages, the Venom can be a difficult car to handle. Given that, it seems to me that an effective upgrade strategy would favor applying most of the upgrades to the tire/wheels & suspension instead of upgrading the engine and drivetrain, since the Venom is already fiendishly fast.

I know Stages 7 and 8 will be a challenge, … so I want to make sure I’m applying my GC upgrades where they will do the most good, as far as making the Venom a bit more manageable and less prone to spin out.

So, does it make sense to apply the majority of GC upgrades to tire/wheels, brakes, & suspension instead of heavily upgrading the engine and drivetrain?
