Car Comparison Table ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Car Comparison Table provided by -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) Legend: [| CAR NAME: "Car Brand" "Car Model" |] [| STATS: "Stock Stats" -- "Extreme Performance Stats" |] ___________________________ _______________ _______________ _______________ [| | | | |] [| CAR NAME | ACCELERATION | TOP SPEED | HANDLING |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Volkswagen Golf GTI | 004 -- 079 | 004 -- 100 | 022 -- 076 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Honda Civic | 006 -- 084 | 013 -- 096 | 031 -- 077 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Peugeot 206 | 008 -- 084 | 011 -- 093 | 027 -- 078 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Mazda Miata MX-5 | 008 -- 087 | 013 -- 093 | 039 -- 081 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Dodge Neon | 007 -- 093 | 016 -- 093 | 025 -- 070 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX | 012 -- 083 | 034 -- 100 | 032 -- 084 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Toyota Celica GT-S | 014 -- 085 | 025 -- 090 | 038 -- 074 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Mazda RX-7 | 024 -- 086 | 038 -- 100 | 029 -- 071 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Mitsubishi Lancer ES | 004 -- 095 | 008 -- 096 | 018 -- 072 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Ford Focus ZX3 | 005 -- 087 | 011 -- 093 | 030 -- 075 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS | 008 -- 081 | 020 -- 093 | 026 -- 083 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 | 009 -- 083 | 020 -- 095 | 024 -- 073 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V | 010 -- 085 | 025 -- 087 | 021 -- 068 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Nissan 240SX SE | 010 -- 085 | 016 -- 093 | 024 -- 077 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Toyota Supra | 011 -- 084 | 037 -- 100 | 018 -- 075 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Acura RSX Type-S | 012 -- 082 | 032 -- 096 | 026 -- 070 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Acura Integra Type-R | 014 -- 081 | 008 -- 089 | 031 -- 073 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Nissan 350Z | 016 -- 077 | 034 -- 100 | 017 -- 077 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Honda S2000 | 018 -- 072 | 034 -- 100 | 029 -- 073 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] [| | | | |] [| Nissan Skyline R34 GTR | 026 -- 091 | 056 -- 100 | 030 -- 083 |] [|___________________________|_______________|_______________|_______________|] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, etc.) Bonus cars can only be found in Quick Race. 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. Refer to the Cars section for a complete list of unlockable bonus cars in NFS:U. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- V.

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) If you're interested in decking your car with some sweets vinyls before diving into UG Mode proper, please refer to the Unlocking Style Rewards section for some tips. Note that bonus cars earned by unlocking style rewards cannot be used in UG Mode, only vinyls. In regards to rewards, playing most of the challenges in Underground Mode at Medium Difficulty up to the last twenty races or so should be enough to net you the necessary credits in your account for all your upgrade needs. Although don't let that hinder you from playing a few races at easy since some challenges really do need luck to complete (and an ample amount of tries, too). Of course, if you have plans to swap parts often during the course of the career mode, you might find that the credits earned will not cover all your modification needs. For example, changing parts or cars every few races might be fun, but the account credit caps the number of times you're able to do this. Playing through UG mode at Hard Difficulty will get you more greens, but be informed that once you have completed all 112 challenges the car you've been using cannot be modified anymore and customizations to other cars for quick races do not require credits (as long as you've unlocked those parts, they're ready for selection). Please be informed that if you're aiming to unlock magazine covers, you need to go at the Underground Mode on Hard Difficulty. Some covers can only be unlocked by beating the best time/score in Career Mode, although once you have earned a particular cover, there's nothing to stop you from going at other challenges of that type on any difficulty setting. Refer to the Best Times/Scores section for a complete list of track records to beat in order to earn magazine covers no. 20 - 23. 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" "Tap the directional key left or right to change lanes during a drag race" 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 is not heeded here... Lap Knock-Out ------------- "Last-place car on each lap is eliminated" Circuit ------- "Multi-lap racing against three opponents" -------------------- Initiation Challenge -------------------- "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." You will be loaned the Vortex car to race in. This challenge is the only race in Underground Mode in which you'll be able to use a bonus car. Also, the ride is equipped with Nitrous Boost. (cutscene) After the cutscene you will be given a selection of five cars to choose from to use in Underground Mode. You can refer to the 'cars' section for some stats on these rides to help you make your choice. "Ouch. That is seriously weak, dude." (cutscene) First five challenges can be selected in no particular order: ---------------------------- Jose's Got Your Back (1/111) ---------------------------- Circuit, Olympic Square (Laps: 2) From: Jose The Low-down: Your first step towards earning some respect. Beat Jose and two others in two laps at Olympic Square. 375/500/625 Race Victory Rewards: (no rewards) -------------------------------------- Last One There Is A Rotten Egg (2/111) -------------------------------------- Sprint, Liberty Gardens The Low-down: Race through the downtown core. First one past the airport construction zone takes home the Bank. 375/500/625 Race Victory Rewards: (no rewards) ---------------------------------------- It's All About Style And Finesse (3/111) ---------------------------------------- Drift, Drift Track 1 (Laps: 4) From: Dirt The Low-down: Wow the crowd with speed and style.

There's a gap of 1250 credits compared to Normal and Easy, and that's quite a bit you can earn to make up ground assuming that you've completed earlier races on an easier difficulty setting. There's no need to complete all races in 1st place, just the finish the first few at the top of the podium to open up a bit of gap and then finish up the last race on second or third placing is fine. The objective is to win the tournament and not finish 1st on all tracks; you'll still get the same rewards irrespective of your finish |
