Talk:Stingray Evolution (v5.3.0)/@comment-27123099-20170621221545

For anyone stuck on 5.4 (or 3.3 too I guess), who beleive you won the car last time with fewer than about 18-20 upgrades, you're probably wrong. I scrolled through the comments for the original version of this event (page 3 seems pretty helpful): http://rr3.wikia.com/wiki/Stingray_Evolution

Tons of people skipped 5.4 as opposed to upgrading and those that chose to upgrade seemed to need at least 18 upgrades to pass it.

So, if you have fewer than 18 upgrades it's likely you skipped 5.4 the first time around and just don't recall it.

Here's a comment from Quiksilvr from page 3 of the original event page which seems to sum up 5.4 nicely. The previous comment asked if anyone had attempted to beat 5.4 with 17/31 upgrades and Tires/Wheels at Level 1:

''Yes, I did. And I ended up with a close 2nd place finish every time. I think I must have tried at least 5-6 times before I purchased that 18th upgrade, and won the race. I have shared a snapshot of it in one of the other comments below. I crossed the line barely an inch before Ahmed pulls in. Rusty's Shelby is actually a few paces behind. If I had to overtake his Shelby in the drag race to win, I'd have easily done it with 17 upgrades, maybe less. Ahmed made sure that I purchased that 18th upgrade. So much for teamwork! -_-''
