Make Other Racers Crash!
When racing, you will probably notice there is an exclamation mark (!) above a car. This means you are distracting the driver. If you get close enough behing the car when there is an "!" above it, the driver will spin, crash, or brake suddenly which will allow you to overtake easily.

Earning Respect
For T.K- Enter alot Circuits and eventually he'll ask you to race for pinks or host on San Ricardo.
For Biggi- Enter alot of A.W.B Sprints and eventually he'll ask to race pinks and host on his turf.
For Sue- Showoff and get over 100,000 points and she'll race with you for pinks and host at Downtown.
For Maria- She respects Crew Proformance- this you can't do until you have a crew member, preferably Vito.
For Jack- This you have to have the hottest wheels in the game.
For Melody- Car Collection buy alot of cars, like 5-10, so right away you'll get pinks with her.
For Poppa Zee- Gambling money is the thing here: not just any gambling, you have to win your bets.
For Carlos- My favorite is hard pinks and its not easy. Get respect on Carlos by gaining respect on T.K and kept racing pinks unti he runs out of cars. You gain 35 respect for carlos everytime you race pinks.

More Mistakes for Opposition
When you are racing and you are coming first and second is just about to pass quickly drive in front of them and stay there for as long as possible. You can tell where the person is coming up with the little triangle. Thats called "tail ending". When you tail end the opposition they get frustrated and when they're frustrated it causes them to wipe out.

Easy Money
At the start of the game don't buy any cars. Go to an empty spot on the calender and host your own race. Make the car classes 1 and then pick a track (I suggest 2). Then watch it, and bet all your money on Biggi unless T.K. has a viper and Biggi does not. Biggi usually wins all the time but if you lose you will get another $30,000.

Perfect Cornering
To get a perfect turn around a corner look at the road just before the turn and you will see a faint black line that looks like a bunch of skid marks. Follow it around the corner you will get a perfect turn.
More Money
If You Want To Double Your Money all you have to do is go to Watch/Bet On a race then when you can see all the race competitors select mad cats make sure the odds are correct then bet all your money then select start race if the person you bet on doesn't win just restart your system and try again until they do win keep using this method to get up to $10 Million.
ed. note: this may only work on the prerelease version, as this cheat was submitted before the game went to retail!

Nitrous Leak
If you have neon lights on your car and you crash it or hit other cars eventually your neons will begin to flash a little bit. This is a sign that you are about to have a nitrous leak. When the neons burn out then you will quickly lose your nos.

How to Handle a FWD Car
When you have a dodge viper fully equiped, or a other fully equiped in "Juiced". When you enter the corners in full throttle with a fully tuned font engine rear wheel drive car, you'll likley oversteer. In other words youll spin out of control, to prevent this do not go full throttle just press the gas lightly, and don't use nitrous when at low speeds either with a RWD car at low speeds or you wll spin of control.
