Got the Black Edition for PC today.
By the way i reckoned that the incar view rocked in the early NFS's, especially in Hot Pursuit when I could compare the leather interior of the EL GT to my povo pack GLi

I've finally supercharged my Mustang, I didn't have the first engine upgrade, but had the first Supercharger upgrade and put on the Unique mod too. Didn't have the go I expected, so I put on the first engine upgrade and that made a huge difference. I'm a little disappointed with the sound it makes, not quite the same as the Champ Car Mustangs, but it's close.

meh the drifting bit was tedious I thought.
/guys I know what the monaros are,, I just thought it was silly to have two that are nearly identical. And if you want to drift, do it while you race

Agreed about the Monaros - i didnt see the need to have both versions in there.
In the garage atm I have: 2x S/C Mustang GT's 1x Porsche Cayman S 1X Aston Martin DB9 The aston is a bit of a dissapointment but its such a good looker I had to have one. Bounty stands at 2,438,000 too. And its not easy to get it there.

Managed to pick up the Gallardo today - i was expecting it to cane me royally (I was in the Cayman) but I actually flogged it! Something odd there!
So now it resides in my garage alongside DB9, 2x Mustangs (although 1 is impounded atm). Im now up to trying to get 200,000 Bounty in 1 single police chase and it is NOT easy. The bloody Monaro Cop cars box you in and you cannot get out.

The Gallardo is a HUGE disappointment.
Won a Blown Corvette tonight, and is it a goer or what. Absolute Machine, it and the Mustang are probably the best consistent performers. For stuff where you need to hit good speeds use a Porsche but for anything else these 2 are the go.

Sometimes that works, because what happens is the front cars turn and move forward toward you, then jam on the accelerator and you *should* be OK. I do it when I get rammed by the SUV's. 200,000 isn't hard to get, use a car with condition 4 rating on it straight up, you'll have 200,000 in no time. I gained another Stang last night, gotta love pink slips.

Im now needing to get 325,000 in a single chase, got sooooo close last night. And an interesting thing - if you get to a certain point of Pursuit the Rhino SUV's get bigger, and they also send Corvettes after you. Buy a Corvette to go with the Mustang - believe me they are worth it.

Im still stuck with my Ghey Punto.. Can't wait till I get some real cars...
Do you get the pink through placing bets like Juiced or by choosing the correct markers? Only put in like 2hours so far so still feeling my way around.

When you beat an opponent and get to choose 2 of their markers, 9 times out of 10 the pinkslip is the second marker from the left. I always pick it and I havent missed out on a car yet.
Sold my DB9 and the Gallardo too - both pieces of junk. Now got 2x Blown Mustangs with direct nitrous, 2x Corvettes with the same setup, and 2x Porsches - one Cayman, and a 911 Turbo S which is doing quite nicely.

They are going to want to pick up though, I beat one in a sprint quite easily - admittedly it was pink.

GT was 180k IIRC. Waste of money :S. Worked cayman S has better accelleration and handles better.

I went to play some more of this on my PS2 last night, and found that when I tried to load my profile it had been corrupted.
Had to start all over again. NOT happy Jan.
