In this particular instance, you could easily end up spending more than it would have cost to just buy the car and be no further forward in the game. Whilst you'd still have a more upgraded car, this will only be of any use if it appears in WTTT or another series.

I don't understand. Why would you have the Countach already upgraded that far? Mine's just at 15/34 still and I was 100% when V6.2 came out. I'm guessing it must have something to do with my early purchase of the Cobra and upgrading it to 32/33. But I thought we had to upgrade the Cobra that far quite a while ago for another series?

I don't really like driving the Countach so I'd much rather upgrade the Testarossa, being that I have a choice. It's 195 for me to upgrade the Countach enough, while just 96 more  to upgrade my Testarossa enough.

The point is, if you could win the Testarossa with no upgrades then the Countach would be cheaper to upgrade to complete 80's Poster Exotics and it would complete Clash Of The Classics for less upgrades meaning you don't need to upgrade the SHELBY COBRA 427® (1966) at all. The fact you had to put so many upgrades on the Testarossa made it more expensive for you to maintain 100% than the cheapest upgrade path. Technically, this means that many drivers with low gold might have been better waiting for a sale on the Testarossa (though that might never come with a ferrari).

This is a moot point with a low cost car but it can make a big difference with more expensive cars. The LaFerrari, for example, needed a lot of upgrades to win it when it came up in an LTS and at the time you didn't need any upgrades for 100% complete.
