turf war races occur when in free roam mode you find an orange marker on your mini-map, follow it, and get ahead. at this point you will see a bulletin flash on your screen. when you see it, push up and a map will appear telling you to choose a finish line. I recommend approaching your prospective opponent in his opposing direction then quickly pressing the up button. then, choose carefully a finish line that is near to your current position and you can win shortly after your opponent gets his/her car turned around. hope that helped!

If you still have the car you started out with then it is impossible to beat Kenji. You must by a new car. I recommend a Tier 2 Exotic car or an upgraded Mustang GT(the car I won with).
Select tuner in the begining(the mzda rx-8 an fuly tune it and the take every short cut and when it comes to the canyon, keep as close as you can and then in section 2, get as far away as you can. I beat him on my first try. -Answer by:peyton
I used a half tuned Subaru WRX STI, but I also kicked his ass with a mclaren, lancer, skyline. Do not use the Lambos, any of them, they suck, they are so hard to turn, you dont really need a car with a good top speed, my cars only got up to about 176, but I still kicked his but on the street race and canyon duel
I used the alfo and beat him just try and break at the right time, flick finger off the accelaration and on to break and back again. be sure to hit the apex and you will beat him
I managed 2 beat wolf in the alfa. It was neva specd up. Just left it as it was n managed to take over all the terrortories apart from darius. Only tune up was the race nitro n thats all. Used the pink slip to wolfs car to beat kenji n anji
U need more skills at the game cuz I beat him with it. dont try and pass him in the canyon just try and stay on him and you will have enough for the second run.
OK first you go to the screen that says Need For Speed Carbon. Then you go to the screen after that.You know the screen that says Carrer My Cars Challenge series and so on. At that screen you type in down, up, down, right, up, square, triangle.
Go to the challenge series and unlock the nissan240 sx you can beat the whole game with that car if you upgrade it. it corners and speeds up crazy style
I agree, the nissan is the best car to race with, grips the road like a nine inch nail in a plank of wood, crazy acceleration and 174 top speed when fully upgraded and thats not bad for a tier 1 car.
Nothing really happens when you lose a free-roam challenge, it just lowers your win rate. If you win enough though, you will unlock reward-cards. 5 - 25 - 50.
This sounds odd but I found this out in challenge mode. The Supra is a beast at drifting. In a closed circuit race I got a 156,000 point drift with it the first time I drove it. Get its stats up and it is amazing. Also its all about moderation just go in gentle and keep your drift consistent by tapping the analog or just turning with moderation.
I am experiencing the same problem and am on the last race against darius. The skyline is way underated on carbon. I am also havin problems selling my cars it freezes ive tried different systems and games. I put the last of my money into the new challenger but got pissed and started over. thats the only thing I have found to do other than racing old 100 dollar races all day everyday in hopes of makin enough cash. if you do figure it out please let me know.
Alright. If you ask me, The evolution is very great if you know how to race on carbon. I beat the game, I dont even know how many times. i've had this game along time.The best tip I can give you is to go to free roam and just get use to your car. go on the highway, from silverton to 21st century. Im sure once you get use to your car, you can beat anyone, if you dont screw up.
If you need cash, heres how to get it. Start off as a tuner and use mazda rx8. when you get to the boss race against kenji, beat it and get the pink slip for his car! if you dont start over the race. Now you have a green RX7. dont buy any cars and beat Angie and Wolf (easy). Now upgrade your RX7 to max and win all the races in stacked deck (easy). now you are at Darius. Buy a Mitsubishi Lancer and tune it to the max and beat darius. pass him on the turns and BOOM, about 700,000-800,000 dollars to spare. Also do free roam challenges to make money.
Stuff the cheats.
i used a mazda rx-7 and it wasnt even fully tuned
once I had enough cash I bought the lambourghini murcielago
with samson as my wingman
samson is great in the speedtrap races and will often win it for you
DON'T USE NOS ... use only speedbreaker and infinite crew charge ... use samson as a wing man ... i've beaten all silverton races (except the canyon races against the 3 bosses) with a stock dodge charger r/t
First, turn off the auto save feature; then, after beating Angie in the city and canyon, take your two picks. If you don't get the pink slip, simply reload the game and race her again. You may have to beat her 5 or 6 times before you guess correctly and get her car; but after all, if you want the car badly enough...
I got a question? I have beat the game and after all the boss races I have never had the pick two markers box come up it just autosaves and then I have to continue to the next area this is on ps2 plz help -Answer by:tftf4036
You dont want it, I got it and tuned it up 2 the max and then I didnt have any mony, so I was stuck with a car that practicly doesnt have a stering wheel!!! I had 2 restart!!! -Answer by:modfi
First you get the rx8 as a starter car and pimp it to the max.Then you beat the green,blue,another terratory. Then you go to CANMOR DOWNS in Silverton(the red terratory).beat canmor downs and youl unlock the Skyline R34.P.S To unlock the Toyota Supra you have to beat the NEON MILE in Silverton.And Dude Good luck! Quoted by Juan
Yo! dude! if you printed out a paper and on that paper it said to press X at they end its totally wrong! use mine! unlimited NOS: left up left down left down right square. unlimited speedbreaker: down right right left right up down square.
If you press x twice wen the screen shows the cheat you unlocked you wont b in the main menu anymore so the cheat entry wont woerk anymore -Answer by:NFSUtruemaster
Hey ! i have 1 word for u c o r v e t t e its every thing a gamer could want. its got handling ,accelaration, and top speed. its unbeatable if uts supercharged.
If you have the maclaren pimped right you can leave darius in the dust.
i have beaten this game four times and three of the four times I used the maclaren.if you pimp it right it will do 281mph so will the gallard, mercielego, ford gt, and the carera gt.
If you're short on cash and can't buy another car, you'll have to do previously beaten races to slowly bring up your cash. set sal as your active crew member so you can get more money on each win. after that, get any tier 3 car, tune it up, and you're all set!
-american gamers league-
Get angie's dodge charger ... loose the nos (nos is bad ... speedbreaker good) ... don't upgrade her car and just play ... I finished fortuna downtown and silverton (except the canyon duels) with this car ... the best tier 2 car in the game
Get an RX7 and fully tune it up for acceleration. At the beginning of every race you should shoot ahead of everyone (use NOS if necessary). Then stay in front. If your opponent is coming up behind you, cut him off. Finally, USE SHORTCUTS, CREW MEMBERS, AND TURNS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE, they help a lot (the RX7 is great on turns). Then at the last boss, buy a Mitsubishi Lancer
You mean the carrara it depends on wat type of car you start out with and wat teritory you beat in silverton ive beat the game 8 times and it is the fastest ive ever played with I beat all the bosses in 1 run of em all so get it when you unlock it
When you get a pink slip the best way is 2 not use cheats because a dont thick there is any but the best way a think is pick `the first 1 on the tuners the second 1 on the mustle and the thirs 1 on he exoticis and the foth 1 on the last island
its neva faled 2 me !
A2:
Its all random. If you want it that bad, turn off auto save and beat the boss. If you dont get the slip, restart the race till you do
*you cant get a pink slip at Darius*
Pagani Zonda????
I've unlocked every car in the collectors edition which comes with the Camaro and the Koenigsegg pre-tuned and unlocked under bonus cars but the Zonda has never been mentioned anywhere!!! I mean how it can be unlocked. No mention of it amoung the reward cards or anywhere else, though I'd love to know how it could be unlocked if it can infact be!!
There is no difference between the concept and the regular.. there is just the concept.... you get it after the canyon sprint against it in the last section of town
There is no cheat menu. At the beginning of the game after the press start screen appears and you can choose career mode and everything, you put in the cheat codes. If done correctly, the game will tell you what you unlocked.
Use the speedbreaker for the circuit race, and just keep trying the canyon until you get about 130,000 for your score. Then do equally as well when he's following you
I used a dodge viper and overtook him on teh first turn.but you usually crash and he passes you again so what you should do is just before you pass darius(on the first turn) use e brake and get in front of him and block him do that for 10 seconds and you win
Race all the races you can with the lambo and once you will have enough sell your old car and buy the slr. unless of course you have the same problem as me and got to the very last race and got no way of comin up with the cash for a new car. hope this helps.
It all depends on what the race is.
on races with lots of tight corners high acceleration is good so you can power out of the corners and understeer stops you spinning out.
on races with few tight corners more top speed can help push you past your opponents
Short cuts are key in boss races, they are good but angie I beat with a puerly stock car, and wolf, and the other guy too, no cash in the car whatsoever, but yeah pay attention to the shortcuts, they really help, use a scout while going through her turf -Answer by:gabriel562
Because the handling on the muscle is crappy she should fall off the cliff but if she dosnt I dont knowhow to beat her. I only won because she fell -Answer by:coolCarbonKid
Just go to the first menu where you decide weather you want to continue career or start a challenge series. Just keep hitting triangle (PS2) until you can't go to another menus anymore.
A2:
You type in the directional arrows and the symbols on teh title screen. That means the screen you see that says press start
I beat him with a z06. tune it to accelerate and hold the lead for 10secs. In any canyon race if you pull ahead of them in the first race and hold it for 10secs you automatically win without a second race.
All you have 2 do is get a tunner car(mitsubishi lancer (the one you get from kenji the second time in silverton)) the first
trash the other's untill you get to darius. he dead hard in the race but the canyon he's yours. one of the corners will have a non breakable barrier, but he still takes the inside lane. simply over take him and keep the lead for 10 sec's and the games yours!
Yes the ford gt will work perfectly for tuning tips for the last 4 races check the top of this section note: the rims will help to get even to -Answer by:tftf4036
Just remember its not so much the car u drive. just use one with really good handling and acceleration. u dont need top speed at all for the canyon races. but use the apex style of turning, basicly turn less, brake less, drift more go as straight as possible. cuz the straighter u go around the turns the faster u can do them therefor keeping up with darius. I did it with in the lotus, lamborghini murcialago (not very good on the turns though), nissan 350 z, nissan skyline, mitsubishi lancer. that is my suggestion to u. u can do it though just get in the zone and do it. lol peace one love jah rastafari.
Use the evo. Tune it for acceleration on almost all tunable parts. Have full grip on the tires og and set it on oversteer. Race pakages makes it easier to beat him but with this tuning it pretty easy to squash him. After the race where you have to beat all three bosses its childsplay if you just remember to use all the shortcuts.
Bro, dont listen to any of them., use this.....use that! JEEZ! think SMART! in a canyon race. top speed is never gonna be reached! so put your mind on MOVING QUICK! ACCELERATION! set all your car performance on torque, tranny: acceleration, suspension : STRICTLY MIDDLE! (for even weight of the car!) (putting a car on oversteer makes the rear end loose, its perfect for drifting!| oversteer: is perfect for sharp corners!) -Answer by:jfikri
Ive beet the game 7 times the gt flips to easly, and the others just are slow use the zo6 put the engine to horspowr transmission to acceleration suspenion to understeer n0s 2 velocity tires 2 grip brakes 2 rear and super charger 2 high
I won it with a fully turned slr mclaren with it at full accel and hand and I wooped his butt and dont listen to tip A9 because the mclaren is the fastest at 232mph ( thats the speed I got it to in a rival challege )
Dnt no y everyone is goin on about the other cars. I used the lambo murchilargo and it is amazin wen it is totaly suped up. gr8 car to use against darius
YoU ALL sUCK..i BeAt ALL tHE bOsSes iN tHE raCe wiTH My MAZDA RX-8 except DARIUS..haha!it only comes with great skills and you must know the shortcuts on the tracks..dont believe that tuners will work on beating darius dats horrible ive been trying to beat him wid my NISSAN SKYLINE for 3 weeks but it doesnt realy work and oh I sold it for dis lamborghini murcilieago.:D ayt
To beat darius in the canyon first you get $240,000 then get a
mercedes SLR mclaren then get NOS for the first 3 races. Then you get to the canyon now on the you turns dont brake or drift just tap R1 then you will get round nicely when you have done all the you turns you are already 30% throught the canyon.
TIPS:(on the first cornor dont brake decellarate)
TIPS:(You can do it with a gallado)
TIPS:(DONT get a murchilargo)
I did it in two days its possible.........
Start a new career,if you have data files from NFS - Most Wanted on your memory card you'll get 10 000 as a bonus and aslo enter - D U L D R U Square triangle at the main menu for 10 000 extra , then buy the RX8. At the main menu again, enter the cheats for infinite NOS and infinite Crew Charge to give you an edge. Used the Blockers only. As soon as you unlock NOS buy it and use it non-stop throughout all the races and only buy the ultimate parts thereafter when you unlock them to save money. When you've fully worked your RX8 tune it for max hp. max top-end max velocity max grip and max rpm. You'll now be able to win enough races to make 1 000 000. Don't spend any money on the look's of your car until then and don't buy any other car and sell the cars that you win from any of the Bosses. After you've hit your total, you can then spend like a mad man!!!
I found that you need a lot of luck I started with the berera and got the pink slips to all the rivals cars
i kept the rx7 right until the last boss race where I needed a little more power so I won almost every career race and bought a evo bt u still gt a lot of money
You keep one car and the when you face all of the boses after you defeat the get a pink slip and then go to the safe house and sell the slow cars then you should have 1,000,000
When you start the game buy the camarro ss and when you unlock the nos upgrade buy it and dont buy any outher street package upgrade and then go to the main menu and enter the infinte nos cheat code and race the game and by the time you defeat darius you should have 1,020,000
To get the $1,000,000 you need to conserve your money from the start of the game. The way i've done it is to never actually buy a new car untill you've made the $1,000,000. Start out with the RX-8 and only use the pro or race uprade packages if you have to use any at all. try and win all the bosses cars (i usually restart the game if I don't) so then you'll always have a fast car but won't have to buy one. it took me a few trys but I beat the boss using the aston martin DB9, and after that I had over $1,000,000.
I played 1 carrear through then got busted on purpose by the cops so I could start a new game with all the cars still unlocked...then I played until I had enough to buy a dodge viper (which was already unlocked.) I used that the rest of the way stock to beat the game. This leaves u with over 1,000,000. keep ur starting car so u can sell the viper at the end to make an extra 75,000.
I've tried getting busted and my cars are NOT still unlocked
the only way I can see winning if you've beaten career mode and won all the races already would be 1000 free roams... which would be completely and utterly a waste of time
Well what I did was I beat it and only had 432,000 and I was left with a viper that wasn't worth anything so I did 700 races and got 1,000,000 bucks to buy the chevelle and the guy above me knows not what hes talking about because if your a true chevelle fan its definatley worth it
Lol its very easy if you do it the very first career beacuse then you can get the rivals car but if you do it the second time your not even allowed to choose the markers
I reccommend grip tires, btw I bet him with a galladrdo, use all shortcuts and try to slam him into walls when hes trying to get into the allies.you can because he will catch you easily and if he gets infront you its a pain to catch up.
I don't use super cars or muscle cars. I used the evo. and put it in manual. so when you r on a bend behind him drop it down a gear and you will get right behind him or hopefully overtake him wiv difficulty
I used a Suberu Impreza WRX STi. passed him on the 7th last corner, tuned like this...
Engine: Max horsepower
Transmision: Max Acceleration
Suspension: top part on oversteer, rest normal.
Nitrous: Velocity 100%
Tires: Grip
Brakes: Normal
Turbo: Low Rpm 100%
It is also possible to beat him with any tier 2-3 muscle car set entirely for acceleration.
Try the mclaren...it's what I used, it was a challenge to beat him, but I eventually overtook him. here's what ya do. take all the available shortcuts on the road race and it's important not to mess up even once or he'll pass you, leaving you with minimal hope of catching up with him. on the canyon just stay behind him and watch the last few little bends cause they're what will cost you the race. then, when he's behind you, just don't push too hard and keep it on the track.
On the last part of the city look at the rewards if its not there then you will unlock it after you beat darius Good Luck use the slr
A2:
You get it after you beat the Darius, or, if you picked Tuner class at the start, you get it during the Stacked Deck races, when you beat enough of those
You have to win one of the races in Silverton to unlock the Camaro concept. I have yet to beat it but keep looking online. I am working on a tip I found to unlike the Corvette Z06. I believe it will help some.
My bro has had the same problem it I have clocked the game twice with the gallado fully suped up so that or I heard that the viper is a reeeealy fast car and the corvette i've clocked the game with all three cars so try that
You have to get a perfect launch at the start. And the fifth left as you turn it use speedbreaker and head right through a shortcut hit the middle of the board and you will be catapulted through the air into a cut in the corner
OK I have betten the game twice, and I know darius is very hard to beat. But you can beats him, ok first finish all of the races {own all the territory} By the mercedes benz maclarin/ fully load it and on the options when you buy the tranny-more top speed than acceleration. When you buy the nos-more duration that valosity. And for the turbo/supercharger-more horsepower that torqe. O once done race darious, watch your corners, dont wipe out, take all the short-cuts, and watch your nos! Hope I helped.
Well if you have enough money and have unlocked the nissan skyline gt-3 buy the car I just mentioned and fully supe it up so when you come 2 face Darius your car will be easier to turn corners and Darius' car isn't very good on turning so when you get up to the canyon race and when you get up to about 60-80% there are two hair pins pass then turn the corner and accelerate to gain speed you should try to pass Darius and if you hold it off for 10 seconds you will win the race and you dont have to do the second leg.
Here is the problem: your're murcielago is too fast for its handling(all exotic cars are like that an that is the weakness)
Brake all the time and if you have an opportunity rm him and you wil pass him do not worry of losing your're points it is just 5000.If he repasses you dont worry you got a bunch of points don't crash an you win!
Okay what u have to do is stay on his tail and you notice on all turns he slows down like hell and then move to the side and then your car boosts with acl and overtake it in a place where is easy to hold him for 10 secs
I have the mercedes benz slr mcglaren and I can beat them with infinite nitrous and speed breaker or w/e (just the cheats that are infinite) but I cant quite get the last race in bc its a carbon and I dont have the racing breaks on the mcglaren so I go off the edge ... and I dont have enough money to get them! and theres no more races
Well what I tryed to do to beat him was in the canyon duel insted of turning try cut him off in the first corner and as you hit him try find a way to turn so u get in front of him and if you do it properly you should win but u gotta stay in front for 10 seconds. I used a corvette no nitro and hardly done up so id try use a muscle car
It's difficult but can be done.I won the final series of battles against Darius and friends with my fully modified Skyline and careful attention to car set up! I believe Nikki was my active crew member as I didn't know there was any difference in the outcome no matter who I was using.She seemed to get in my way an awful lot too! (quite aggrevating)I tuned my engine on the torque side of the set-up,trans on acceleration,suspension for understeer,brakes for rear bias,tires set for grip,nitrous for max velocity and turbo for high rpm.I would always start off using my nitrous to gain a killer launch and get rolling and then just drive my ass off allowing the nitrous to build back up for future use which is a definate must especially when holding off the audi lemans! Oh and when racing Darius down the Canyon without the assistance of the nitrous,DRIVE YOUR ASS OFF!!! You will have to get really mad and into your "ZONE" before you will conquer the final 5 part challenge( I think it's 5?)You will need to dedicate yourself to some time on this one and probably have to restart a few times along the way but rermember,Once you start you cannot stop until the "D" man is defeated! Good luck! It can be done ! I hope these hints may be helpful to you but keep in mind that these set up numbers are appropriate for "my driving style" and may not be well suited to yours! thedeanoman
First of all, get the McLaren.
The car is incredibly fast when you supe it up.
And it's handling is unbelievable.
Then when your in the canyon and going to hit the sharp turns ( or any races with really sharp turns) since you can't use your speedbreaker, or you just don't want to,
Hit that e-break and regular break at the same time.
You practice this enough,
You'll be hittin those corners at 100+ easy.
Just practice with it.
The ford gt will work for help see top of section note: the ford gt has better handling,lower to ground,and wont flip easily like the mclaren if you don't know what to do try creating it in the my cars section to see what you like better I know I beat it without transmission tier 3, and brakes and suspension tier 3 good luck also once you beat the game you unlock:
tuner career unlock list: audi le mansquattro,dodge charger srt 8,ford shelby gt 500(1967),porsche carrera gt,mercedes sl65 amg,stacked deck crew vinyl.
muscle car career unlock list: audi le mans quattro,nissan skyline gtr r34,stacked deck crew vinyl,mercedes sl65 amg,porsche carrera gt,vw golf r32.
exotic career unlock list: audi le mans quattro,ford shelby gt 500(1967),stacked deck crew vinyl,dodge charger srt8,nissan skyline gtr r34,vw golf r32.
note the porsche carrera gt is nice to have if you have an exotic career.
it also works great for cops and quick and easy getaways after you disable the cop cars
good luck and hope this info is useful! -Answer by:tftf4036
Okay I had a maxed out porsche carrara gt and what I tried is that on the first turn in the canyon duel I cut him off and drifted the turn so that I am in front of him and I just stayed in front of him for ten sec. it too me a while but I ended up passing him for ten seconds in about 5 tries
I beat the entire game with a stock Viper....so don't say that it isn't possible...
On the street race with darious, u need to take every short cut (there are three at least.) The first 1 at the beginning is crucial...if he follows u on the first 1 then just restart the race, it isn't worth wasting ur time, he will pass u on 1 of the upcoming turns....It is also always important to keep him behind u so if he tries to jet by u, u can block him...If he gets in front of u, the race is pretty much over...speed isn't really the answer here; u need 2 be able to take very sharp corners otherwise, this is where he will pass u...It will take a bunch of tries, but eventually u will be able to take all the shortcuts withoutnhim following u and u'll beat him....
As for the canyon duel...this is a different story...I found that with the stock viper, I couldn't pass him on the first turn and not fall of the cliff on the second...but i'm not saying it couldn't be done...ANyway, I think your best bet is to just try and stick with him all the way down...It's a canyon duel, there's no easy way to beat it...Just love that restart button dude....u'll eventually get it!
Use a z06,viper or any other fast mucle cars. tune them max and try to find some shortcuts. put the inf speed breaker and nos and use them until the finish line, always put on bumper view and have a perfect lauch when u past him in a canyon or 1-1 race, pay attention to the rearview mirror. when he comes, try to block his way, he will put on a full brake and that will give u some time and if u are lucky, he will bang u and give u some speed. I am telling that will work to any racer too and "OH LOOK!! DARIUS UST CRASHED INTO A CAR"
