Blacklist milestones
Blacklist milestones are things you need to do to rack up your bounty so you can challenge the next person on the Blacklist. Check out these so you know what you need to do to rack up the points. Once the milestones are completed, you must work on racking up the points. The best way to do this is to cause as much major damage as possible by taking out police cars, traffic, and crashing through shops (for example the donut shop and others you will notice in the later levels). Try to rack up as much bounty and escape before your status has reached level 4. If your status is already level 4, then choose a different car for awhile until the status goes down before returning to your favorite car. Once your status hits level 4, it is harder to get into cool down mode to find somewhere to hide. Avoid getting caught, as you will lose the bounty you have racked up during the chase.

If you are having difficulty achieving some milestones, start a milestone event and go to the docks. Race around in that area by the boat, and if you are fast enough, the cops cannot touch you, no matter what level of police attention you have. Also, they will not make roadblocks or lay down spike strips. This makes it very easy to draw out a pursuit or completely evade them at any time. Just stay in that area, and if you want to lose them, make some tight turns and go down behind the boat to a covered tunnel. If you are fast enough, they will completely lose you and you can sit there until the Cooldown bar is full.

When you are on lower heat levels, try to get as much bounty as possible. This will make it easier when you need to get over 1 million bounty to challenge the black list rival.

Razor's races
Once you reach Razor in the Blacklist (the very last person), you must do five races. On the circuit, take as many shortcuts as you can to win. If you do not do this, he will win by a minute. Also, it is recommended that you have the best parts in your car (Junkman). Once you win those five races, you will get your BMW back. However, in order to keep it you must evade a very long pursuit. You will start with a wanted level of 6. You will have large SUVs, very fast black C5s, and even helicopters after you. Once you start the pursuit, swerve off to the left to hit the bridge-like object, and get most of the cops off your tail. After hitting that, keep to the right. You will go through a construction site. Keep to the right to hit yet another bridge-like object, and lose most of your pursuers. Ahead you will soon see a gas station. Try to hit the gas tanks. Keep hitting things until about five minutes into the pursuit. Then, Mia will call and tell you where to go. Get there as fast as possible.

Challenge series
After completing career mode there will still be some cars that are locked. In order to unlock them you must go to the main menu and select the "Challenge Series" option. After winning all the challenges, those cars will be unlocked. Note: At first there will be two or three challenges unlocked from 69 challenge. In order to access the locked challenges you must win the available challenges.

Quick start
Pay close attention to your tachometer when launching from the start line. Grab a perfect launch to gain a few precious seconds. When the needle turns blue drop the clutch and hold on.

If you are using a two wheel drive vehicle, starting out can be difficult because of your burnout. To get off the line faster, just as you start press [Nitro] until you are no longer burning out. Your tires will gain traction and get going a lot faster.

While holding [A] at the start of a race, also hold [L] and you will speed in front of all other racers.

Nitrous and grip
Hitting nitrous torques the chassis back, giving the rear tires immensely more weight under the new acceleration. The end effect is that you will go straight. If you find your tail sliding out or are about to spin out of control, hit your nitrous. You will be surprised at how fast you will get straight again. This is a great trick in combination with Speedbreaker. With the correct timing, there is no corner you cannot take at any speed.

Nitrous boosting
It is critical when you get past Blacklist Member #6 to use your nitrous wisely and strategically. Instead of just holding [Nitro] in desperation to get ahead, press and release it when the tachometer is about to shift to the next gear. Upon the next gear shift, continue pressing [Nitro] until the next upcoming gear shift. This is the way precious milliseconds are spared.

Longer lasting nitrous
When you are racing and want to use boost or nitrous, press it as fast as you can to have more or have it last longer.

Timebreaker
The Timebreaker can be used to improve handling at difficult turns. It can also be used to blast cars from a roadblock. The Timebreaker adds mass to the vehicle, thus blasting cop cars easier. Hit cop cars like this, and if you are lucky you can send them spinning in the air; often hitting the level boundary in the sky.

Pursuit Breakers
If you are driving toward a Pursuit Breaker and there is a spike strip immediately after it, do not hit the Pursuit Breaker. During the intermission sequence, the CPU will take control of your car and will drive through the spike strip, ending the pursuit.

Sharp turns
When there is a sharp turn coming up, use your Speed Breaker when you are a little farther away from the turn. Turn your wheel to the direction that you are turning, then turn your wheel to the opposite side. Try to use Speed Breaker only half of while you are taking the turn. If you use it for the entire turn, you will likely turn around. Once you have turned, quickly use nitrous. If done correctly, you will turn three times faster than the CPU cars.

Easy money
If you are low on cash, just defeat one of the opponents on the black-list. You will get two marks to use on several different things. Do not use them on the Uniques early in the game. Instead, use them on the middle or the left "Random" choices. They should always come out to either be a big cash bonus or the opponent's pink slip.

Because you can repeat Blacklist races you have completed and still earn money for it, do any of Kaze's tollbooth races. You will get $10,000 for winning. By this point in the game you should have hopefully obtained the Porsche Cayenne from Baron. If not, your fastest car should do fine.

Press [Down] to access the Blacklist viewer. Then, select a race where you can win a lot of money (about $8,000 should be enough). After the race is over, press [Down] again and select the same race. Note: Tollbooth races are the best choice to win money.

When you get to about the tenth Blacklist racer, go to your Blacklist screen. You can move to racers you have already defeated. You can now race any event you have not raced yet or race the ones you have defeated again.

Race the same easy race repeatedly. For example, if you are on Ming or past Ming, go back to him and race the first sprint on the race list repeatedly. It is worth $12,000 each time you win it, and is very easy if your car is fast.

Getting the most money from selling your car
When in your safe house and you sell a car, you will only get half of its list value. However, there is a loophole that works well for pink slips that you have won and no longer want. Take your car to the shop. Go to the parts area. Go into the body kit, spoiler, hood, rims, and roof air areas and set everything to stock. When you check out, you will see anywhere from $1,000 to $18,000, depending on what pink slip car you are stripping. Do not try this with performance parts. The shop charges you money for downgrading. Once you have stripped your car of all accessories, leave. Press [Start], then go to your safe house. Sell the car, and you will have made a lot of money on the side. Do this every time you intend to sell any car.

Free maxed out car in career mode
Enable the "Burger King challenge" and "One Stop Shop marker" codes. Win the Burger King challenge. Buy the Fiat as your first car. Defeat the Bosses and win their cars. Each time, sell their car to make a large amount of money. When you get the Lamborghini Gallardo, go to the One Stop parts shop. You should have a lot of Junkman Markers and a few Boss Markers (optional) by now. Put the Junkman parts on the Lamborghini. IT should have almost maxed out acceleration and top speed with over maximum handling.

Easy wins
Pay attention to the destructible objects such as the donut stands, movie screens, or anything else that you can use to distract or total a cop. During a race, you can hit those objects and they will they fall and scatter all over the ground. This causes all the other racers behind you to crash or slow down, giving you more breathing room and make it easier to win the race. It works better if they are not on your rear end.

Use a car that is low powered, such as a Cobalt or Golf, and only use nitrous power-ups. Do the races as they come. You will see that the CPU cars are only as tuned as your car, making it easier to win.

When on a race and are desperate to be first, use Speedbreaker until the meter goes halfway. Nothing may happen at first, but you will learn that Speedbreaker makes the CPU cars go slower, thus making you advance.

Easy bounty
Get some cops after you then go to the bus stop. Go on top of the buses. Make sure that the front of the car is at the edge of the last bus so that the cops can see you and do not lose you. Keep looking behind you because the cops will sometimes find a way on top of the buses. When they do that, just reverse as soon as you see them coming and push them off. Only one cop car will come on top of the bus. Do this for as long as desired. When you want to lose them, just reverse, park in the middle of the buses, and wait until your cool down bar fills. The cops will also drive crazy and crash into themselves, giving you extra bounty and bring up your rap sheet rankings on police vehicles immobilized and police vehicles involved.

When you get to third place on the Blacklist, more Bounty is required before you challenge the next racer. The best strategy is to go to number 11 on the Bounty selection screen. Build up your Bounty by knocking into the side of police cars. Do not go too fast and keep "lightly" hitting into the sides of the cops until you reach level 3 or level 4 heat. Notice how quickly your bounty points mount up and milestones should be unlocked faster by taking your time. If roadblocks appear, use your nitrous and blast through the cops. Afterward, slow down and keep "lightly" hitting into the sides of the cop cars. Accumulating bounty points becomes easier using this method.

Get into a chase with the police and drive towards the bus station. Instead of sitting on top of the buses, go straight up the ramp on the right and drive towards the end. The police will not be able to reach you there and you will begin to rack up a large bounty. When you need to lose them, go backwards and forwards a few times. They will slowly begin to leave. Once there are only one or two police cars remaining, reverse into the station just out of sight and wait for evasion bar to reach the maximum. Then, drive away with as much bounty as desired. Also, do not worry about looking behind you, as the police will not go up there if you are at the very end.

In any car in free roam mode, you will notice a lot of huge eighteen wheelers about. These are a great opportunity to earn lots of bounty points. When you speed under these correctly in a chase, they will stop. Any cops chasing you will smash into them and explode. This is a great method, but requires a lot of practice.

During a pursuit, access the map. Close to the middle of the map (if you have all the regions unlocked), there is a space that is very big with A Pursuit Breaker above it. This is the bus station. Set your GPS for that Pursuit Breaker. When entering the station, if you are facing the ramps, take the one on the right and go all the way down. The cops will not come up the ramp with you. When your bounty reaches the desired amount, back up, but do not fall off. Use your nitrous and drive towards the gas station on your right. From there, turn right and hit the doughnut shop, and later the water tower. There is a very small chance all the cops will survive all three Pursuit Breakers.

Go to the bus station. Go through the glass, and driv eup to the ramp to the left or the right. When you go up the ramp on the left, there will be buses lined up. Stay as close as you can to the end of the buses. You can do this on both sides. If you are notified that you have evaded the police, off the buses then go back on them. They will not go on the buses.

Easy upgrades
Before you can do anything, you must win the Burger King Challenge. When you win it, you will unlock all unique parts (also called Junkman parts). Get any car and put all the parts except performance. Once you have your car the way you desire, go to the performance shop. Max out your car by pressing [B]. Then, put the Junkman parts on. Max out your car again. Then put on the Junkman parts again. Your car should be fully upgraded.

Junkman parts
If you try to put Junkman parts on you car in career mode, it will not work. You can only do this at the main menu.

When you can race Taz, try him. Lose or win, you probably will get the Junkman engine upgrade in performance.

Avoid police
When completing a race, if the police radio in your car you are driving and you do not want to run from them, press [Down] and choose another race. Alternately, you may also jump to your safe house (must be done before you are seen or pursuit begins). If not, you must drive to it yourself in cool down mode. To jump to the safe house press [Start] and press [Right] until seen.

Upon reaching level 4 (Most Wanted) there will be an overwhelming amount of police officers coming after you. At this level, cops are excellent at boxing you in. If you cannot move forward, use reverse for two seconds to get away from the block. Spin your car around and get out of there.

The best way to escape the cops is to evade long enough to get into cool down mode, than find a hiding spot. By sticking to the cities you will find lots of cool down spots to sit and hide your car until the heat is off. This is also a good way to avoid helicopters which appear if your reach level 4 on your map. Another good method is to run into the triangles on your map, which mark places where you can ram into shops and other roadside items to disable the cops. Highways are good places to get blockades and strike strips which are challenges for milestones.

For an easy way to get away from cops at high wanted levels, find the baseball field. Look on the map for a small triangle towards the top left. Use highways in a circle around the field to achieve your missions. Once you have gained enough bounty, city damage, roadblocks, etc., drive through an entrance to the baseball field, hitting the pursuit breaker on the way in. Make sure that you slow down some before hitting the breaker so that it does not send you through the other side of the field. Once you make it in the field, stay there and wait out the cool down period. The cops should be off of you, and cannot find you. This works almost all the time to get rid of the cops. Just driving through random blockers rarely works when you are at wanted levels 4 and 5.

Never respawn ([Z]) your car in a pursuit, as the police will always catch you.

Once you complete Razor's (Blacklist #1) five challenge races, an intermission sequence featuring you, Mia, Razor, and the other Blacklist members will start. Once you get your car back (BMW M3 GTR), you will go to a heat level 6. Every cop in all cities will try to bust you. You must evade them for five minutes, then you will get a call for Mia. Try getting to the golf course. There is a little building that you can crash into to get rid of the cops. Then, try to wait it out until you get Mia's call. An icon will then appear on your map. Quickly get there as soon as possible. Get to the spot, jump the bridge, and you will be home free.

When heading for a roadblock, make sure to hit the trunk of a car instead of when the engine is located.

When at level 6, cops and feds are everywhere. There is a blind spot where the cops cannot get you at the bus terminal. Normally you would go left or right to take the jump or drive up the middle to take the shortcut. Instead of using the ramps to jump, stop at the apex of the ramp, then turn and drive in the middle of the walkway. Stop there and wait. The cops will not come up the ramp after you if you are in the middle of the walkway. No matter what the heat level, the cops will not get you and they will eventually drive away.

Use the following trick to evade all the police, even at level 5. In the first part of the world where you start out, just around main street is the bus station. Notice in cruise mode that there is a second floor part of it, near the edge. In any chase, just drive to that and go on the second floor. Drive back and forth until you get the green evading bar to start to get to the cool down bar. This does take slightly longer to cool down, but it is definitely easier that driving all over trying to find a place. This is especially useful in Challenge 40 with the Mclaren, where you have to evade for at least ten minutes.

When the police try to box you in after you hit something, turn 90 degrees away from them. Then, use your nitrous to turn the other 90 degrees, otherwise you might spin out. By doing this, you will get a head start and will not get busted.

The easiest way to shake off the police is to exact a PIT maneuver on them. With a lot of speed, aim for the police car's back left or back right area, near the rear right wheel or the rear left wheel. Sometimes on Heat levels 1 and 2, this maneuver (when over 120 mph) will disable their pursuit car immediately. Spinning the level 5 police cars out of control is a good way to evade them. As for the "Rhinos", getting to a high speed (over 150 mph), and drive head on at the Rhino. Swerve out of the way at the last moment. If the helicopter tries to push you over, just keep swerving and crossing lanes quickly. This should prevent it from knocking you over.

When approaching a roadblock which you cannot escape, press [Speedbraker] and ram into the lightest of the vehicles. When the Speedbraker is activated, your car does not jump as high and has more maneuverability. If you do not have your Speedbraker enabled when ramming into police vehicles, you will sometimes jump on top of the police car and get busted. If you have it on, it prevents your car from jumping and allows an easy getaway.

When trying to evade the cops, go to the bus station in Rosewood. Go up the ramp and make sure none of the cops follow you up. Go to the very end of the buses and watch your bounty go up as the cops destroy themselves. Watch behind you for any cop smart enough to find their way up. For a better way to do this and avoid getting busted, put the front end of the car facing the ramp at the end of the buses. This trick is useful for making milestone for time and is also good for racking up bounty. To get through the cooldown and more fun, go to the walkway beside the ramp and sit there. Watch the cops as they fly off the ramps and go crazy running into the wall and destroying each other till the cooldown is over.

Draw the cops to the surrounding highways of Rosewood (the town you start at) and keep circling the highways until you have completed your milestones or wish to end the pursuit. When you pass the baseball stadium, which on the map has two Pursuit Breakers on it, drive through the first Pursuit Breaker so that you are in the stadium and the cops have stopped on the other side of the rubble. You can then drive past the Pursuit Breaker on the other side (making sure you do not hit it). Make a U-turn and drive straight through the Pursuit Breaker and cops will not find you. Note: This only works if you are under a level 4 heat; otherwise the helicopter can see you.

Use the following trick when you are in a race and become involved in a police pursuit, but do not want to be after the race. At the end of the race, restart it, then quit to free roam mode, The cops will not be looking for you, and you will still get everything you did for the win (bounty, money, and credit).

When you are in a police chase and they start putting roadblocks down, you can get through them easier by ramming the police cars near the rear section of the car. The back is lighter and this will make the car fly easier out of your way.

To hide from cops, and still get bounty and heat, go to the bus depot and drive up the ramp. Go to the side where the buses are not found. Go all the way to the end. You should be facing a gas station. Stay up there, but pay attention to your evade-busted meter, as you can accidentally evade the pursuit. If the cool-down meter appears, drive off and look for cops. After you find them, drive back up there. It is important that you drive all the way to the end or else the cops will hit you. The cops normally drive off of the side of the elevated platform.

When in a pursuit, use the Pursuit Breaker at the gas station. After you have immobilized all the policemen around you, make a U-turn with the Speed Breaker and go behind the gas station where the hiding spot is located.

Sit on the very edge of the hospital or jail and let the cops drive past you. Your heat will go up, but they cannot catch you. Also, if you want to lose the cops, just fall off and let your car reset (do not reset it yourself). You will lose them instantly.

Find a circle or a small square made up of roads. Keep going around it for about five laps. You can do it more and make sure the cops see you once in awhile to get a huge time bounty (over half an hour long). You will never be stopped by a roadblock or a spike strip, because they will place them on the outside roads, and not in the circle. To get away, wait until the cops say "We've lost em", then turn out of the circle and drive away. Make sure the cops do not see you trying to get away or it will not work and you will have to return to the circle and repeat the trick.

When you are cruising and hear the cops on the radio, drive at least to the speed limit. If you see the cop, pretend to be a normal driver and do not break the law or he will chase you.

When entering a milestone, use the map and go to the stadium in the far left corner of the map. Go through the right side entrance and knock down the sign for the stadium. The cops cannot follow you because it blocks almost the entire entrance. Exit out the other side and go under the small parking garage. As soon as cool down mode, starts there is a hiding location nearby.

When the police are chasing you, go in to the bus station. Get on top of the buses and turn your car 180 degrees so that you are facing the terminal. When the police chase after you, hit reverse and fall off the buses. Choose to respawn. You should now be back on top of the buses with no police. When doing this, watch the bar at the bottom of the screen. If you respawn while near busted, you will get busted.

Levels of police action
The various levels of police action are as follows.
Level 1: Marked patrol cars and cruisers. They mostly chase and try to run you off the road. If you have a quick car you will get away from these easily.

Level 2: Unmarked patrol cars and cruisers, roadblocks. They mainly try to ram you off the road and setup roadblocks. Avoid roadblocks by doing an emergency brake lock U-turn or go through them. You can get through by ramming the cars on either end of the roadblock or by going through a weak point like the sawhorse or a gap between the cars. Use Speedbreaker to see the weak point in the roadblocks and use nitrous to ram straight through. Some road blocks will not extend all the way across the road -- you can go through where they haven not placed a car.

Level 3: Marked GTO (Monaro) police cars, marked 4WDs (Rhinos), rolling road blocks, roadblocks. These are quicker and you need to use objects to knock down in front of them to disable them. Lead the chase with these vehicles through the cities to use knock down points (for example, the giant donut sign, etc.) to disable the vehicles and end the chase. Then, find somewhere to hide when you hit cool down mode. "Rhinos" will ram you from the front. Listen for the call over the police radio. You can usually see these coming on your map or on the road ahead. Depending on which car you have, you can get away with ramming them head on. Otherwise, just use Speedbreaker again to change lanes before they ram you.

Level 4: Unmarked GTO (Monaro) police cars, helicopters, spike strips. The unmarked GTOs (Monaros) usually chase in packs and are very difficult to avoid. They will try to box you in by surrounding the car from the front and back and slamming the brakes to not give you any room to escape. Avoid this by staying ahead and using the same tactics used in level 3. For the helicopters, use tunnels and underground parking lots to escape from-them. Once they spot you, they can radio the police to your location. Spike strips are set up usually on main roads and highways. You can see them on the map, when you see only one vehicle over to left of the road not driving (i.e., pulled over). Aim for the police car and use nitrous to ram it and get away. If you hit the spike strip you will get caught.

Level 5: You will not have to worry about this until you are at Blacklist #3. By then if you are still running and the level reaches 5, all the best and toughest police come out. The helicopters get more aggressive, there are more spikes, and more belts are called in on you. You must also deal with "cross" cop Corvettes. Cross and his team will apprehend you at all cost. Like in level 4. the unmarked GTO cars will surround and box you in and hit the brakes. Corvettes will also try to use rolling road blocks. If you run into the level 5, make sure you are in your fastest vehicle. You will need the nitrous.

Achieving higher Heat levels
You will start campaign mode only being able to only achieve Heat levels 1 and 2 (City Police). By defeating certain Blacklist Rivals, you can then achieve the higher Heat Levels.

Heat level 3 (State Police): Defeat the Blacklist #13 rival.

Heat level 4 (Undercover State Troopers): Defeat the Blacklist #9 rival.

Heat level 5 (Federal Authorities): Defeat the Blacklist #5 rival. After you beat the Rockport's Most Wanted level, Heat level 5 will then consist of both the Federal Authorities and Cross' Street Racin' Unit.

Heat level 6 (Undercover Federal Authorities): On the final challenge (Challenge Series mode) and on the final level of Campaign Mode. Sgt. Cross joins in the pursuit in the final level.
Lowering Heal levels
To lower the Heat from your car, go to a Stop Shop and go in. Then, change the color of your car. Leave and do not move. Press [Up] to go back in and change the car back to its original color. Your Heat will be lower by 1. Do this multiple times to reach condition 1 again.

Avoid and remove strikes
After getting busted and taking a strike, turn off the system the next time you get pulled over. Resume the game and you will have no strikes again.

Get strikes off your car
If you get busted in a pursuit, turn off the game before saving it. When the game is played again the strike will be gone. Note: This will not work if you can only get one more strike.

Recommended car
The best start car is the Cobalt SS. Use that car until you get the Eclipse. When you win Blacklist races, try for the three "?" markers. You can get cash or the pink slip car. If you get their car, go to the safe house and sell it. You can get good money by doing this, and get unique upgrades after you start getting into the visuals (after you switch from the Cobalt).

After you defeat Ming, if you get his Lamborghini it should make progressing further in the game easier. When you get his Lamborghini, go to the tuner shop and add in any upgrades needed for performance.

After beating Blacklist #8, you will have a choice to buy the Lotus Elise, You should by now have enough money to buy it. If not, you may want sell it to make enough. Once you have the money, buy that car. It is great at road handling, and is very fast. This is after you have maxed out its performance to the best it will let you. Note: The stock top speed and the handling do not look high at first.

Take the Volkswagen Golf from Sonny and keep getting unique performance parts. Put them on that car to max it out before Blacklist #3 or #4. Note: You will still have to buy ultimate upgrades from the performance shop.

In career mode, the best car to have is the Clio Sport. If you get this car early enough you should be able to max it out. If you put a few unique performance parts in there, it will be the best car to have. Also, if you just go to "My Cars" and max the Clio, you will be able to compare it to other cars.

Start out with a Lexus and as time goes on, use the Supra. Drive the Supra winning the Aston Martin DB9. You should get as much bounty as possible in the beginning. You need 10 million to go against Razor.

After defeating Izzy, get her Mazda RX-8 and tune it out further, as much as possible. And after awhile you can make it as fast as it can go. Note: Use Junkman parts -- they work great.

Blacklist cars
If you win the pinkslips to a Blacklist car, you may want to use the Blacklist car as your own and make the necessary upgrades to performance, as most of the upgrades will have been already made by the Blacklist owner. You do not need to spend too much money to increase the performance, handling, etc. Sometimes these cars will have upgrades that have not been unlocked yet, but most of these are usually visual. Only do this if the vehicle you have won has better attributes than the one you are currently driving in its standard mode. You can check this out in the car shop. Keep about three to five good quick cars in your safehouse.

Accelerate faster
Press [A] + [C-stick Forward] to accelerate even faster than normal.

Car test
If you are unsure which car is the best to use when upgraded, you can upgrade all the cars that are unlocked for free in the main menu.-Go to "My Cars", choose a car that is available, and upgrade it with the parts that are available. By doing this, you will not waste all your money in career mode.

Better car performance
After getting your car upgraded with engines, suspension, brakes, etc., press [Start] and go to "Performance Tuning". For better handling for the Lamborghini, Porsche, Corvette, and Viper, set the "Height" of you car to "-1". If you need more gripping power either take the "Height" to "-2" or set the "Aerodynamics" to "+1". If you go overboard with the performance tuning options (anything past "+3" or "-3"), the car will actually handle worse.

Try these settings for high speed tracks: Steering +2, Handling +2, Brakes +3, Aerodynamics 0 (middle), Ride Height -3, Turbo +3. Try setting Aerodynamics to -3 for even more speed but less control. For tighter tracks, set Aerodynamics to +3 and Turbo to -3. For even better results during a race, pause game play switch between high speed and tighter track settings on the tuning screen to maximize performance.

Go to "My Cars". Choose one of your cars and go to "Performance". Set "Ultimate Parts" on. If you won the Extra Race, put in Junkman Parts.

Use the following trick when trying to defeata Blacklist member past #5. All you need is a fully modified Corvette (Webster's will do). Go to the tuning section at the start menu and set the following options: Steering -2, Handling middle, Brakes +3, Ride Height -3, Aerodynamics +2, Nitrous -1, and Supercharger +2 or 3. After you have completed this, take it to the highway and test it out. It is possible to reach 365 km/h. Note: You can change the steering, brakes, and handling to suit your driving style.

Regaining control
When approaching a corner at top speed, quickly assess whether or not you can get through it cleanly as fast as possible and without touching the inside or outside barriers. If you find yourself drifting (or worse, careening out of control) toward a barrier, turn on your Speedbreaker in order to regain control via increased handling and traction. During this period of slowed time, straighten out your car and put it back into an ideal racing line. Once you are straight and driving in the correct direction, quickly turn off Speedbreaker and hit the Nitrous hard to rip out of the remainder of the corner.

Respawning
If you crash your car do not force it to respawn. Instead, let the game reset your car. You will then be invulnerable and able to get away from the cops if you are in a very tight spot.

Avoiding SUVs
Have a good car and a good Nitro booster. Whenever you see an SUV coming at you, hit your nitrous and ram him head on. He should fly backward and explode, giving you $10,000.
