Burger King challenge:
----------------------
Press Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right at the "Press Start" 
screen.

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.

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.


Avoiding police:
----------------
When completing a race, if the police radio in the 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 the 
pursuit begins). If not, you must drive to it yourself in Cool Down mode. To 
jump to the safe house, press Start, Right until seen. Additionally, upon 
reaching level 4 (Most Wanted) there will be a lot of police chasing you. 
At this level, cops are excellent at boxing you in. If you cannot move forward, 
use reverse for a couple of seconds to get away from the block; spin your car 
around and get out of there.

The best way to escape the police is to evade long enough to get into Cool 
Down mode, then 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.

An easy way to get away from cops at high wanted levels is to 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 will not be able to 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.

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 usually 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. It is a good idea to keep about three to five nice quick cars in 
your safehouse.

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 these out so you know what you 
need to do to increase your points. Once the milestones are completed, you must 
work on increasing 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 other places 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 preferred 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.

Easy bounty:
------------
Get some cops to chase you, then go to the bus stop. Get on top of the buses and 
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 get on the buses, 
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.

Easy money:
-----------
Find an easy race such as a drag or something short that you can win quickly. 
Win the race and get the money. Go back to the safe house and start the race 
again. Win the race to get the same amount of money again. Repeat this process 
as much as desired. This is quite useful when you need that extra bit of power 
to defeat a blacklist rival, but don't have the money for a better car or parts.

Defeat one of the opponents on the blacklist. 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 usually 
come out to either a large cash bonus or the opponent's pink slip.

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

Getting the most money when selling your car:
---------------------------------------------
When you sell a car, you will only get half of its list value; however, there is 
a trick that works well for Pinkslips that you have won and no longer want. Take 
your car to the shop, then 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 Pinkslip car you 
are stripping. Do not try this with performance parts. The shop will charge you 
money for downgrading. Once you have stripped your car of all accessories, leave 
and 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.

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, they are not hard to get away from.

Level 2: Unmarked patrol cars and cruisers, roadblocks. The police 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 have 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 hard to avoid. They will try to 
box you in by surrounding the car from the front and back and slamming the brakes 
to take away any room you have 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. When 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 reach this level until you are at Blacklist #3. When you 
reach this level, 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 
reach level 5, make sure you are in your fastest vehicle. You will need the nitrous.

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 your tail is sliding out or you are about to spin out of control, hit your 
nitrous to get straighten out. This is a great trick in combination with Speedbreaker. 
With the correct timing, you can take most corners 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 Nitrous 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 Nitrous until the next upcoming gear 
shift. This is a great way to cut time off your race.

One Stop Shop marker:
---------------------
At the Press Start screen, press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down to 
unlock a special marker for the Junkman Engine part in the back room of the 
One Stop Shop in Career mode. Note: This code can only be enabled once per career.

Recommended car:
----------------
The best start car to use until you get the Eclipse is the Cobalt SS. 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 and get 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. 
At this point you should have enough money to buy it. If not, you may want sell 
to get enough money. Once you have the money, buy that car. It is great at road 
handling, and is very fast once you have maxed out its performance. 
Note: The stock top speed and handling do not look high at first.
