Anyone who has a Z06 with more then 900HP help me out. My friend and I just bought a Z06...and have it up to around 730HP. We did the engine build, port polish, racing chip, new air filter and exhaust, ...but it is no where near 900hp....how did you guys get it to 900HP...you can't turbo it...can you?? it wouldn't let us.

Here's a nice little trick that will help you get a car that
you want from a championship series.

You need to drive all the races before the last one very good
(or just use a very fast car ), so that you have at least
a 10 point advantage over the car in the second place.
When you finish the second-to-last race, save your game.
In the last race, just quit at the beginning. You won't get any
points or money for it, but you'll still get the championship
money and the car. If it is not the one you're looking for,
just load the game and repeat the process for the
last race (takes less than a minute to do it) until you get
the car you want.

Zoran.

Elanderholm: Change your oil. It won't get you to 900, but it might put you over 800??

Sorry, about the autopilot thing :

Just wrap two rubber bands around the two knobs and position it so that your car steers into the wall a little bit. I did this with an Escudo maxxed out just to make it go by quicker, takes about 40 min with 1700hp Escudo.

The last series on the second level is where you get the S2000 LM edition. Very nice cars to win in that race so I won them all. You guys probably know the two memory card trick to win all four cars in each series, but if you don't have two memory cards heres the next fastest way to do it.

Win the first four races in the 7 race series in first place, save the game. Then start the next three races and exit the race, and hit next (on the last race you may have to drive a bit and mess up the order of the cars because the second place car might have enough points to finish first so you have to screw him up). This way you can skip three of the races and still get 1st and collect all of the LM prize cars, LM Rx-7, LM s2000, LM FTO, and the Tommy Kaira ZZii or something of the other. All those cars are badass so I had to have them all. If you get a repeat car, load the game the game you saved and go back to get the car you want.

Off to the professional series I go - oh wait, damn I have to be at work till 6

The LM S2 is awesome at 900+ hp. I had to stop driving my other S2 cuz of better competition, but now I can go back and race the S2 again. Yeah baby!

After getting the rally license and and winning the first race with the beetle, i tried to trade it in for a real car and only got 5K for it - a 13K depreciation. That's almost as bad as some South Cal. dealers. Any tips on what to do with the 5K ?

You shouldn't have sold it. I would have either upgraded or saved enough to get the car I wanted. For me my 1st car was the miata, and I raced it until I could buy the S2.

1000+hp R34 Vspec II rally car...thats the most fun/dumbest thing I've ever raced. Interesting if you dont have the cash for an escuda but still want to dominate rally events.
