III. Car Comparison Table (courtesy of -VooDoo-)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Straight from -VooDoo-:
I measured the precision stats with a precision ruler (those in the bottom
of the Customize Ride, not those on the performance board) they're 50mm
long on a 15" flat screen, so I just measured them all and compared it with
each other. Because those bars use 100 divisions I could convert the stats
to percentages. This was made because I realised different cars reacted
differently to the upgrades. (e.g. Golf has a low top speed in stock, but
with the Level 3 upgrades it gets a top speed even better than the Dodge)

IV. Bonus Cars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Bonus cars are not available in Underground Mode.
Where are the bonus cars? (Nismo Sentra, VORTEX car,
Petey Pablo Car, Mystikal car, Rob Zombie Car)
Bonus cars can only be found in Quick Race. These rides
are not available for Underground Mode. To use them, first select
'Quick Race' from the 'Main Menu', then choose a race type
from the six available. Then scroll thru the selection of cars.
The name of the bonus car will not be displayed, therefore
find the type of car model that the bonus ride belongs to.
(e.g. the Nismo Sentra will only have the text 'Nissan Sentra'
displayed on the top right, don't go looking for Nismo Sentra!)
If you still can't find it, wait for the car to appear in view
(you will hear the roar of an engine). If you look carefully,
the car will not be in one plain color but have a unique vinyl
on it (customization). Else the car selected is not the bonus
car. You will have to scroll through the list to find the other
car (with the same model name). It should be close to the end
of the list if you scroll all the way to the right.
For example, the Nismo Sentra will have the text 'Nissan Sentra'
on the top right of the screen, but if you wait for the car to
appear the text 'Nismo' and some Japanese characters can be seen
on the side of the car.
If you still can't find the bonus car you're looking for,
go through the style rewards list to make sure that you've
unlocked the particular car first. Note: bonus cars are not
available in Underground Mode. I can't stress that enough.
Below is a partial list of bonus cars that can be unlocked:
* Nismo Sentra/2004 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V (Style Reward No. 12)
* VORTEX car/2000 Acura Integra Type-R (Style Reward No. 4)
* Petey Pablo Car/1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (Style Reward No. 31)
* Mystikal Car/2002 Toyota Celica GT-S (Style Reward No. 40)
* Rob Zombie Car/2003 Nissan 350Z (Style Reward No. 62)

VI. Underground Mode - Walkthrough
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Note: Although Style Rewards can be acquired in any race, I've included
them in the order in which I've unlocked it. I may update this to
reflect the unlockables correctly in the near future. The Race Victory
Rewards are correct)
(Note: Style Rewards removed from Underground Mode. Created a new section
for Style Rewards. Please refer to that section for a complete list
of unlockable Style Rewards)
"Welcome to Underground Mode! Your racing career starts here. Take on the
toughest drivers on the street and prove you are the ultimate racer.
Winners earn cool unlocks and upgrades. Losers go home."
During the Underground Mode, you will encounter the following challenges:
Drift
-----
"Slide with style to score big points"
Gain points by showing off your drifting skills.
GAIN x2 WITH 200, GAIN x3 WITH 800, GAIN x4 WITH 2400,
GAIN x5 WITH 6400/8000/9600, MAXXXED, etc..
Complete Chained Drifts to gain more bonuses.
- Score points by doing Good Drifts, Great Drift, Chained Drifts,
Clean Laps, etc.
- Avoid losing points through Wall Impacts.
TIP: You may get more points by doing Drifts closer to the wall
instead of in the middle of the road.
Tournament
----------
1st - 8pts, 2nd 6pts, 3rd 4pts, 4th 2pts
"The player with the most points at the end of the tournament wins."
Sprint
------
"Race from point A to point B"
Be the first to the finish line!
Drag
----
"Straight line, flat out racing"
Warning: Do not attempt to do a drag race on a street with traffic!
You'd be crazy to try something like that! Obviously this advice

As there's no traffic, you could use some nasty tactics to win

keep an eye behind your back (use the Back View button) and
prevent them from overtaking you. No worries about crashing
into cars with your head turned. (Far Camera mode only)
Alternatively you can race in Bumper Cam mode and turn on
the Rear View Mirror option in the Display Menu (under Options).
The key to winning this race is that none of your opponents
should be ahead of you once you get the head start, else it'll
be very difficult to catch up to them.
Getting upgrades that increases acceleration should help,
although it could backfire due to the perfect AI logic
incorporated. If upgrading doesn't work, the downgrade
trick from Challenge 86 might be applicable here too.

1125/1500/1875
O.K. You went through 85 challenges without a sweat. Now it's time to
test your mad skillz. The best comparison I can think of for this level
is that it's as close as you get to an end level boss in a racing game.
Lots of people had problems beating that RX-7/Impreza to the finish line.
Not that the traffic have been helpful. If you're totally frustrated by
this stage, here's a tip. Downgrade your Engine/Exhaust, Drivetrain,
and E.C.U. Packages to Stock. Then try that race again. Odds are you'll
get a 1st place finish after an attempt or two. Best explanation I can
offer is that your opponents are handicapped if your ride ain't the
fastest. This trick should work too if you opt to change the car model
instead of doing downgrades, for example a Skyline to a Civic. Do
everything you can to downgrade the top speed.
If you're having problems navigating through the tunnel:
While entering this tunnel, keep to the right lane if possible. When
you're close to the 90 degree turn, drive straight on so you end up
on the left lane. You may have to brake a little during this part.
Then try and change to the right lane.
