Well, the SL's stats have been completely maxed out...and I still have two custom parts sitting in the shop backroom. Gonna save'em(and a third one) for the Murcielago... The Gallardo has pretty much replaced both the Cayman and the Eclipse's roles in my line-up...sweet little car. Love the futuristic engine sound. I also managed to get to Heat Level 5 in a challenge...those police Corvettes are more intimidating for their sheer numbers than their speed or tactics. Still haven't run into Cross though. Fierano, I can't see that Kamui pic because of my problems with imageshack...you mind uploading them somewhere else? And finally, found this badass NFSMW(with a bit of Underground) music video on youtube. Definitely worth a watch: youtube.com/watch?v=A37vWTbJzgk

I've gotten to Heat 5 MANYMANY times. The police Corvettes are cool looking. That is, until they get you a few times. You grow to hate them xD
Also I accidentally bought 2 identical Porsche 911 Turbos because I forgot I bought one and bought the other one. Now I have two Black and green Porsche's. XD

I already hate them...make one tiny mistake, and they just swarm you and never stop.

Haha, just racked up almost 2,000,000 bounty in a single 7-minute chase. Police corvettes aren't so scary when you take away their numbers, like I said. I also heard Cross on the radio, but I didn't actually see him. Looking forward to it... BTW, am I the only one who loves the fast-paced James Bond-esque music that plays during police chases? Maybe even more than the chases themselves. Also, I noticed that the stock M3 GTR(which is playable in the Black Edition or later PC version) has a higher handling stat than the tuned "Carl" version. How is that possible?

I racked up like 4 Million bounty in a 14 minute chase. The only thing I hate about the Corvettes are how they SWARM you, and how strong they are when you hit them. I can send a normal cruiser flying if I hit it at the right angle, I even sent a Rhino half across the road once.
Also, I'm #2 on the Blacklist now. It's going to be hard defeating Razor. Aside from the obvious loads of stuff you have to do first, you have to complete FIVE races challenging Razor.
I do have a snazzy new Porsche Carrera GT. It's STILL not as good as my Golf, and it's fully tuned ._. But it helps.
I have three cars now, A 911 Turbo, the Carrera GT, and the Golf.

I hear Razor's last race is actually quite easy if you know the shortcuts. (But only because my brother claims to have beaten MW 4 times o.=.O;; Enjoy unlocking the Mage.

ronnie. the aston... hmm... if memory serves, he can be pretty tough to beat. Use something with acceleration and handling rather'n top-end.
what have you done?! those wheels!!!! gods thats ugly... I'm sorry, but that looks completely ridiculous. colour code them to the body in some way, or chrome them.

I like them like that...if I "color-code" them, the whole car would end up looking like a single color, which isn't what I'm going for. And chrome doesn't affect the appearance, seeing how I have reflections turned off in-game.
And I no longer fear being beaten by other racers...it's the tracks(obstacles, traffic, sadistically placed speedtraps, etc.) that keep ruining my day.

this is why Ronnie is hard to beat. the obsacles. He himself isn't that much.
oh. and police evasion tactic. the bus station. park at the top of the ramps in the middle. most of the time, even when the police cars get up there, thy just crash off the back. but be sure yu can drive ut one way just in-case. it's very, very rare, but they can on occasion get to getting you ttapped up there otherwise if they get turned at the top.

I never was really intimidated by the actual opponents. If the races were straight lines with some curves and no traffic, I'd win every time.
Also, I've used the Bus Station tactic since I started the game XD

What do you know...that "performance tuning" option in the pause menu is actually pretty dang useful! I moved the Steering setting two notches to the right, and now the SL500 actually turns rather than slides aimlessly in the general direction of my steering. And I can't be the only one who finds the little cutscenes that play after you get busted hilarious. My two favorites: 1.The main character slapping a male cop in the face before being restrained. 2. The main character trying to punch a female cop, who counters with a Bruce Lee-style beatdown of epic proportions. Poor human-Carl is helpless outside of his car.

I use Performance tuning to precision. >3 Also, My Golf is proving to be better suited for everything than either of my Porsche's. XD Also the last challenges for pursuit stuff are HARD and ANNOYING. You have to take out 32 CARS and make it last for like THIRTEEN MINUTES. Not to mention the extremely high level of bounty needed. I either accidentally end it too fast (The city cruisers are IDIOTS They just randomly turn around and leave you to escape, even if you're attempting to PROLONG the pursuit) or those darn Corvette cruisers get my car into awkward positions that I can't get out of in time to not get busted. The latter usually happens when I've gotten all my stuff needed done!
