I figured out why this game is the way it is. Its a russian game launched as an app for a european version of facebook. The reason things are so expensive on this version, is they've simply used the same format as the russian version, where 10 rubles costs only 30 cents, and that get you 20 gold, where as here it costs 50 kred (5$) for 18 gold. This is the problem here, they havent realised the price differences.

Way too much reliance on kreds. I guess this is what kongregate is coming to. Very cool game but it's pretty much a demo if you don't have kreds to spend.

I love this game, and had the Kreds to spend. But as a few people have mentioned without Kreds you get no where, and in all honesty I felt kind of ripped off slightly after spending Kreds to get things you would expect to be part of the game usually. Thins like Energy to play against opponents which are clearly AI (Anna Chocolate). Fantastic Game, However 3 Suggestions.
1. Less reliance on Kreds. (Have computer races which are less money or rep but take no energy)
2. Selection of customizables which don't require Gold, and larger range for Gold items, to justify spending Kreds to have something truly unique.
3. More Customizations. (Paint Vinyls, Neons, Spoilers, Tint. ETC)
This game could be one of the best on Kong, IF it has users to challenge, and you wont keep users unless some small changes are made. So far Good Game, Nice Menus, FANTASTIC music,can't wait to see if you guys update it and make it even better.

This game looks nice, but doesn't seem to live up to its potential. The prices for both gold and items seem quite high. The kred/gold/silver ratios are way skewed, as 200 gives 110 gold (.55 per kred) while 950 gives 510 gold (only .537 per kred). Encourage larger purchases, not punish them. Buying the cheapest gold car costs more than $10? Heck, a toolbox to speed up a 30 minute upgrade costs over a dollar. That's a bit absurd in my opinion, but maybe other players will think otherwise. Not only are things expensive, but the fact that you can buy horsepower increases that seem VERY significant means that the game will probably be the "money is everything" type. On the plus side, the graphics look great and the music is awesome - hearing "Get Busy Child" and "Already over now" once the game loaded was certainly a nice surprise. I'd throw 5 bucks in to enjoy the game for an hour or two... if the prices weren't so high. This game has potential, but you've got a lot to fix.

This game had a good idea, but it's totally shit bugged and some logic is missing. I thought i found a great game but I was WRONG :(((

Why are there no free missions to earn silver? I'm stuck for 24 hours until I can get my log-on silver! There was no warning not to do this. Nothing. Absolutely terrible!!!

The AI racers have the same horsepower as my car (332.72). This is what happened i came out first but then suddenly my opponent rockets up in front of me?! Pls fix this bug.

This game has a very basic algorithm: ur next opponent final time depends on ur previous race time.. for example if I sacrifice 1 race (run it slower by 10-15 sec than I actually can)..it is easy ti win next 5-6 races..just don't push to hard.. that's it! :)

So... I spent all my money at the start on a car + parts. Now I don't have 1000 silver to bet on a race. I can't play the game at all. Pretty poor design there.

You have a bug, Race doesn't finish and i lost silver and points many times. Please fix it and i need my many prestige points back!

Oh, and on top of all that, there's an energy system. Usually games have either pay to win or an energy system, not both.

In regards to the execution of the game: Kong is a platform of majority free to play games, "xx,xxx online playing xx,xxx free games!". The game logic ideally should be towards fun, not realism in most cases. The gameplay should ideally be rewarding, which at the present it is not. Interaction with the community should be promoted as a communication activity and nothing else. The reliability of the player paying to progress completely tramples the medium that Kong is built on. "People playing free games"

Also, I had to refresh the game to get my parts to appear installed. This should happen automatically. There should also be some kind of timer bar / countdown, to display how much longer you have left until they're installed.

This is not a bad game, it does need to tone down on the constant suggesting you buy gold and silver with Kreds, I did enjoy the racing but would wish you can start out betting more without having to buy tools and such. I think it will be a very popular game on Kongregate if some things are changed around.

So I put parts in my car.. ran out of money cant race now.. might need some little races to build up cash or something... and if you want people to become competitive online, use something like tuning station - if you dont have that already.. cos its way too hard atm. and the kreds thing.. nah not gonna get a good rating from me.. sorry. but im not spending money to get parts. :)
nice looks, reminds me of V2 drag racer...

It might be nice to add some sort of tutorial. The only way to get a feel for the controls is to waste bet money on a race that you will most likely lose at.

Can I offer some suggestions?
Make it more clear which upgrades “stack” and which ones replace previous ones.
Make it more clear that upgrades make you more likely to win a race. Currently, I feel like it’s a coin flip whether I get an inferior opponent or unbeatable one. Upgrades don’t seem to give me an edge.
Add a Hurst Shifter upgrade so I’m less likely to miss shifts.
Perhaps add a Dynomometer Room so I can map my horsepower curve and discover the optimum shift point.

Polished tunning flash game, but too much money for polishing... unpolished versions dont cost anything elsewhere. Shame KONGREGATE is loosing what brought us all here :-(
