Copperhead concept car: The easiest way to get the Concept Car is to get all gold
medals on the B-Class license tests. The original red Concept Car will
appear in your garage. When you complete the UK vs. US race in first place
under the "Special Events" menu, you normally will get an A spec
Mazda RX7 LM. However, if you are lucky you may instead get a dark purple
Dodge Concept Car with a greater horsepower of 560hp.
To get this car easily, when
entering the "UK vs. US" under "Special Events", look
under "Starting Lineup". If any positions one through six
contain a Copperhead, race the event to win a Copperhead. If not, keep
entering the race until you see one. Also, the "FTO LM" is
recommended.

garage and save the game onto a memory card. Remove the memory card, start
a new game and select "Trade" from the Home menu. You will be
prompted to have a card inserted in slot two. Do this, wait for the card
to finish loading, and select the Concept Car from the garage. Normally it
costs money to buy a car from this garage, but the Concept Car will cost 0
credits. You will be asked if you would like another car. Answer
"Yes" and select the Concept Car again. Repeat this to have a
maximum of 100 Concept Cars. Note: The advanced, dark purple Concept Car
will cost 35,000 credits.

Entering
a race with a higher horsepower: If your car has a HP over the race's limit, take it to the test
track under max speed and go to settings. You can remove certain pieces of
your car from here to lower the HP.
Fast
cars: The fastest car in the game with best the handling and
acceleration is the Mitsubishi 3000GT with all tuning for 930 hp.
The fastest car is the GTO*R.
Tune it up it will easily beat all the other cars.
The fastest car is the Supra
RZ. Be careful though, because it is a FR car and easily spins out.
The car with the most power
when fully tuned is the Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R. With every single upgrade
enabled, the car will have 955 HP. If you change the gear ratios, the car
will go at speeds in excess of 600 mph -- however, there is no track long
enough or strait enough in the game to reach that speed.
The purple Concept Car is the
fastest car in the game. When properly tuned, it will beat any car in the
game, including the GTO Twin Turbo and Skylines, by a good ten seconds in
a three lap race.
If you have a 4WD or RWD car
with at least 700 horsepower and it has the Full Racing Transmission, you
can set individual gear ratios to make it faster. First, set the final
gear to level 35 on a Supra (for example). Set each gear down three sets
(for example, 0.332 to 329). Go to the Max Speed Test. You will notice
your car may be able to top out at anywhere from 200 to 250 mph. Remember,
setting the individual gears improves acceleration. Setting the final gear
improves top speed.
The fastest car is the Toyota
Supra RZ. It only has 910 hp (when fully tuned up). However, it can reach
255 mph. Go to the settings before any race, select the gear ratios and
change them as follows: first: 3.214; second: 1.925; third: 1.302; fourth:
1.000; fifth: 0.752; sixth: 0.580; final: 4.011. The Supra should be able
to do 255 mph however, it is a FR car. For races such as Mega Speed Cup,
the Toyota Supra will definitely be your best choice.
Use the following trick to
get the Escudo over 400 kph. First, make sure you have the Turbo Kit stage
4 on the Escudo (1791 hp). Try to get super soft tires, as these decrease
skidding. Go into machine test, and on maximum run (full lap). Once done,
find the main options before starting the "Settings" option.
Then use the following settings: Ride height: Front: 75mm, Rear: 75mm;
Gear auto setting: Wide; Final gear: 2.200; Downforce: Front:0.85, Rear
1.80. Note: You must take the corners carefully as the car's speed
decreases the more you turn.
Recommended
cars: Some people think that the GTO Twin Turbo is the best overall
car but the used R33Skyline '95 GT-R Vspec has better speed, acceleration,
and slightly better handling.
Although the Skyline has more
horsepower, the best overall car in the game is the used 1995 Mitsubishi
GTO MR. Fully upgraded, it has 930 hp, can reach speeds in excess of 260
mph with a little tuning, and has a better 4WD system than the Skyline.
The best car in the game is
the Mitsubishi GTO LM Edition. It has the best handling around turns and
of course on straight aways. You can also go into turns very fast if you
know what you are doing, using the brakes to help. Then you can accelerate
out of a turn very fast. The top speed is also great.
The best car in the game is
the Mitsubishi Galant (the most expensive version), if you tune it up to
the maximum. With everything, it goes about 220 mph and has the best
handling.
The best car is the GTO Twin
Turbo, when it is tuned up to the max. It can reach 930 hp and travels at
a maximum speed of 405 km/h. This will set you back a bit, as it costs
43,000 credits and you have to buy all four turbo kits. You can buy a used
GTO '92 Twin Turbo for 16,000 to 18,000 credits. This will tune up to 928
hp and can still reach the speed of a new GTO fully tuned up.
The best cars in the entire
game, if you can drive them correctly, are the Nissan Nismo Skyline Spec
model car (500,000 credits) and the Toyota Chaser Lm won in the GT Cup.
There are three cars that
will help get bonuses easy. For the A class car, try the Chevrolet
Corvette 427. For the B class, try the Mitsubishi Eclipse. For the C class
car, try the Mitsubishi Mirage.
Best
bargain when selling: When selling a car, look around the different car dealerships
to see where you can sell a car for the most money in return. Note: The
red Chrysler Dodge Concept Car cannot be sold to any manufacturer.
Easy
money: Buy a car (the Dodge Viper GTS recommended) and do not make any
tuning adjustments to it. Then, enter the Normal Car (Commercial Cars)
championship. There are five races each with five laps, and for every race
you win you will receive 50,000 credits. Additionally, if you manage to
come first in the championship, you will receive 100,000 credits.
Altogether, that makes a total of 350,000 credits.
If you have 1,000,000
credits, buy a 180SX and enter the Turbo Car Cup in GT mode. You will win
easily, giving you 300,000 credits and a R33 drag car.
Get a Toyota Road Car, which
costs1,000,000 credits. Tune it up with stage four turbo and race it on
the Tuned Turbo Cup on the Test Course. if you win first place, you will
get 50,000 credits and a car worth 250,000 credits. The next time you win
you will get a car worth18,000 credits, then a car 30,000, find finally a
250,000 credit car.
Get an A class license and
then buy a Dodge Viper. Enter the normal car championship. For every race
you win, you will receive 50,000 credits.
Get a very good car that can
beat rally cars (around 400 or more horsepower) and race the GT World
Championships. Race in the series race. There are ten races in all, and
each gives you 10,000 credits if you can finish them all in first place
for a total of 100,000 credits.
Save
money: When buying a car with a lot of HP, it is better to buy a cheap
used version of the car. You can upgrade a used car more than a new one
and it saves money.
Duplicate
parts: Purchase two identical cars. They may be given different color
schemes if desired. Buy as many parts as desired for the first car. View
the list of fitted parts of the first car from the garage. Switch to the
second car, get inside, and view its fitted parts list, which should be
empty. While remaining in the second car, enter a spot race. At the
qualify options, select "Machine Setting", then "Change
Parts". All the parts from the first car should be available. Exit
the race and return to the garage. View the list of fitted parts for both
cars to see that all desired parts have been duplicated. Note: Only items
available on the "Change Parts" menu may be duplicated. This
trick will not work on cars that have been awarded.
Conserve
memory card slots: Play the game in arcade mode, exit, then enter simulation mode
and save the game. By doing this, the arcade and simulation mode
information is saved together, cutting the amount of memory card slots
used by half.
Memory
card battle with only one card: Enter memory card battle mode. A message will appear stating
that player one is loading and that no memory card was found for player
two. Wait until the information has loaded for player one, then remove the
memory card and insert it into the second memory card slot. The game will
load data from that location and allow both players to participate in the
memory card battle.
Hint:
100 completion on simulation disc: You can actually get 100% completion on the simulation disc.
The "Event Synthesizer" that is unlocked by completing the
Special License actually gives you percentage towards completion when
raced. Be aware that the professional setting is actually a tournament and
not a single race.
Hint:
Easier turning: When in a turn, hit the brakes until your hear your tires
squeal. Then, turn with the D-pad.
Arcade
mode bonuses: The following items are awarded in arcade mode after winning
each track. Note: They must be done in A, B, and C order.

Hint:
Drive forever (demo version): Normally, you can only complete two laps before the game stops.
If you turn around and go the wrong way, you can drive as long as desired.
Note: You will not be racing.
Glitch:
Save money: If you have bought a car and intend to apply "Racing
Modification" and "Weight Reduction" stages one through
three, perform "Racing Modification" first. Then, go into the
"Weight Reduction" menu. If done correctly, when you try to buy
any stage it will say "Finished Fittings For Racing
Modification".
Glitch:
More maneuvering room: This trick is very helpful when in a tight spot and will work
in both arcade and simulation modes. It is most noticeable in straight
aways but takes effect anywhere in the course. When in a race and are
surrounded by cars with no room to move, if you are on the camera angle
where you are not in the car but the view that puts you closest to the
car, switch to the view that puts the car farther away. All the cars
(including your own) get smaller, however the track stays the same size.
This gives you more room to make a move for a turn or to speed up and gain
positions.
