The fastest way to get to the section you want to read involves my favorite
keyboard shortcut of all time. Highlight the section name w\number (or
hyphen), hit CTRL+C to copy the name to the clipboard, CTRL+F to bring
up the find box, and CTRL+V to paste the name into the find what field.
The CTRL button can be held down throughout the entire command, making it,
in effect, the very fast keystroke CTRL+C-F-V. It's the one keyboard
shortcut I actually use! Mac users (ug) have a different keystroke.
I think it's Apple Key+F but I'm not sure, I've never used a Mac. I just
heard that somewhere.
Version 1.0 (April 12, 2006)
-The guide is finaly complete!
Version 1.1 (April 13, 2006)
-Added a bug
-Added missing info to an existing bug
-Worked e-mail policy, going into way more detail about some things.
-Fixed a spelling mistake
-Revised the "notes" section for the Global
-My guide is the first and only Whiplash FAQ of
any kind (and I think I know why, too. See if you can figure it out,
it's pretty easy.)!
Version 1.2 (July 20, 2006)
-Made a few small changes to my e-mail policy. I dare you to find
them! They're pretty small...
-Changed "anything tYPeD LiKE tHiS" to "1337 Speak" in my E-mail
policy. Thanks to Russel Abarintos (A.K.A. alaskanpie) for
inadverdantly tipping me off about the REAL name of that
vey illegible typing style. In other words, I figured it out
whilst reading the "Contacting Me" section of his CTR FAQ.
-Added a cheat
-Fixed SIX small typos
-Assinged nemerical paramater values out of 8 to the
cars-and now they track ALL of the metrics, not just
top speed and durability! Actually, I'm only doing
the first two for now. At least, that's all I can do for now.
-Revised the "notes" sections for every car except the Global
(see below)
-Put the fact that I'd revised the description of the Global
in last version's space here. Sorry I forgot. I wonder if
anyone noticed?
-Added a user glitch
Version 1.3 (September 03, 2006)
-Fixed some typos
-Made an update to my e-mail policy
-Added NPVs (Numerical Parameter Values) to two more cars. What
would an update to that guide be without more NPVs?
-Swept the visual representations of the NPVs into the digital
dustbin. IMO, they made the guide illegible. Readers, you
tell me: if you want 'em back, I'll put 'em back!
-Added an explaination to my legal policy
-Added a hall of shame for e-mail rulebreakers. Remind you
of Dr. Omicron's FAQs?
-Made a couple of pro-legibility changes in the Q & A department
-Deleted a no-longer-relevent Q & A. At first, I was going
to use "pre-scripted" vesion numbers, but then I changed my mind...
-Made a long-overdue update to another Q & A.
-Added an "About Me" section
-Updated my E-Mail Policy with "more correct" terms, in other
words what I used to think was call whackamole is really called
obligatory. Whackamole is the process of chasing a spammer from
ISP to ISP or something.
-Updeated my E-Mail Policy with further ways I can figure out
when you're sending me a virus hoax.
Version 1.4
-Changed one word in my e-mail policy. It's pretty hard to find
and it probably didn't matter. Why do I do unimportant things?
Because I can!
-Yanked the "about me" section. It was useless clutter. And
it wrecked the search friendliness of the guide because I forgot to
change the section numbers in the bulk of the guide.
-added something on how to go quickly to the section you want. The
instructions are for WINDOWS ONLY. Mac users (ug) have a different
keyboard shortcut. Supposedly it's very similar to the Windows
keystroke (I think both involve the F key).
-Updated My Opinion. Much better now. It's a copy of a review
that was rejected for "Lack_of_Content", but now it should get
delivered to the site because it's mixed in with all this
meaty info.
-No new NPVs. Sorry, I lost my notes :(
-Added seal of quality at the bottom of the guide

4.The Cars
The first thing you need is the car. Here are some
stats on these rides to help you make your choice.
The cars are judged on a measure of ALL EIGHT METRICS
(not just top speed and durability like in pre-1.2
versions). But only the first four for now.
In addition, I will tell you the "body style" of each
car. Each manufacturer distiguishes its model in some way, but
what it all boils down to is that there are only five known body styles.
This is what they are:
Hatchback Coupe (Dosen't quite quaify as a notchback)
Notchback Coupe (This is your everyday, garden-variety coupe)
GT (Sometimes looks like a hatchback coupe with a wing)
Hatchback (It's a hatchback with a huge wing. Took me a
while to reallise this was NOT a station wagon)
IndyCar (Easy to identify)
4.1. Auto Ariel
Car Name:Fouette 270zx
Acceleration: 5 Mid-pack...
Top Speed: 4 (190 mph normal, 196 mph advanced*) Mid-pack too.
Braking: 6 Above average
Turning: 5 Guess what? This is about average too.
Grip: 6 Above average
Durability: 3 A bit on the low side.
Mass: 5 Mid-pack
Body Style: Hatchback Coupe
Notes: A good all-rounder. This car seems to be aimed at
beginners, unless you're such a total rookie that your
car seems magnetically attracted to the walls... remember
to adjust your pit strategy to compensate for the slighty
subpar durability and be very careful when on high damage.
4.2. DeSilva
Car Name: 511GTi
Acceleration: 8 Woo-hoo!
Top Speed: 1 (186 mph normal, 191 mph advanced*) Ugh...
Braking: 7 Very good!
Turning: 6 Good also.
Grip: 5 Kinda mid-pack if you ask me.
Durability: 5 Yo-see above
Mass: 1 Almost too light.
Body Syle: Hatchback
Notes: This car will out-accelerate any other, but they'll catch up to
you over time because this car is the slowest on the grid. Maybe
they hacked away the inner fender supports and used exotic materials
like Kelvar, Lexan, and S-Glass (whatever that is). Then again,
maybe they put helium in the tires.
4.3. Pulse
Car Name: Errant V8 GT
Accleleration: 4 Just about average
Top Speed: 6 (194 mph normal, 199 mph advanced*)Abvove the average
Braking: 5 Not the best or the worst
Turning: 7 Very good, but offset by drift-compound tires.
Grip: 2 See? What'd I tell you about this thing having drift-compound tires?
Durability: 4 Stuck in the middle.
Mass: 5 Just right.
Body Style: GT
Notes: A very fast, but otherwise average car that seems to enjoy skidding.
Not a car I'd pick for a challenge OR an easy race.
4.4. Global
Car Name: Clerity MKII
Acceleration: 3 On the slow side, but not too bad.
Top Speed: 7 (196 mph normal, 202 mph advanced*) Great enough.
Braking: 2 Obviously, they used leftovers freom the Ecco, their econobrick.
Turning: 3 This isn't much better.
Grip: 3 Seems better until you hit Bonus 7.
Durability: 8 The cream of the crop.
Mass: 7 Quite heavy
Body Style: GT
Notes: This car is INCEDIBLY durable! My Favorite!
4.5. Million Plus
Car Name: Ninjato
Top Speed: Poor (188 mph normal, 193 mph advanced*)
Durability: Unacceptable
Body Style: Notchback Coupe
Notes: The least durable car. In fact, in the less durable advanced
series, this car is fodder. Take my word for it, you do NOT want to
ues this car.
4.6. Mission
Car Name: Spectre Turbo SE
Top Speed: Poor (188 mph, 194 mph advanced*)
Durability: Poor
Body Style: Hatchback Coupe
Notes: Another car with subpar durrability, but it's
not as much of an easy target as the Million Plus Ninjato. Still not a
car I'd pick.
4.7. Zizin
Car Name: KLR 330
Top Speed: Good (192 mph normal, 197 mph advanced*)
Durability: Very Good
Body Style: GT
Notes: This thing drifts even better than Pulse's Errant V8 GT!
Wait a minute... you thought that was a compliment?! Where's your
brain?!
4.8. Reise Wagon
Car Name: Merkur GT
Top Speed: Excelent (203 mph normal, 209 mph advanced*)
Durability: Great
Body Style: Hatchback
Notes: This one has the worst acceleration, but it also has the best
top speed. It is also very durable in the hands of a true pro.
4.9. Secret Car**
Car Name: None
Top Speed:Excelent (Unknown)
Durability: Excelent
Body Style: IndyCar
Notes: I have not tested this one. expect more on this car in a
future version... or not! I will not test this thing.
*It is unknown how to unlock advanced series cars without cheat
codes, but my guess is that you get them completing the
Gremlin Cup, Premier Cup, and Bonus Cup all on medium or harder.
**It is unknown how to get the secret car without the use of
cheat codes. If you have a theorey as to how that this might be
done, do not hesitate to submit it (see 13.E-mail Policy and 15.Contact
Info).
5.Tracks
Okay, so you got your dream car and found a corparate sponsor
willing to pay you a gazillion bucks to plaster thier name all
over the sheetmeatal. Now it's time to prove you're worth
all the fuss. Here are 24 of the best places to do it.
5.1. Auto Ariel
-Le Grande Royale
This is very easy. It's kind of twisty but does not have
any hidden hazards. Slow down before the first tunnel and, just
after entering the tunnel, look on the right side. Head off to
the right and you will find yourself driving on the grass that
you can see through the chickenwire in the tunnel.
-The Reaper*
This is the pinnacle of difficulty for Auto Ariel. Agian, you
can cut through the grass in the tunnel. That is harder this
time because the turn is sharper.
-Bonus 1*
Very small, and even with Fouette 270zx (Advanced) I can
get 14-second lap times. Just keep it floored through
the corkscrews (two small ones in the first turn and one large
one in the second turn) and you will be okay.
5.2.DeSilva
-Snake Pass
The menu voiceover says that the "moving ramps" coud
cause problems. However, it is wrong. And they don't "move"
either, they should be called "pop-up ramps". They are
the blue areas on the track.
-Free Fall*
The "LoopScrew", as it is called, is not that hard at
all. At the top of the LoopScrew, switch to the in-car view. It will
look like you are turning left while going down a VERY steep
hill. at the beginning, take the left path.
The right path is somewhat narrower. You will go
crashing all over if you take it because it will require you to
turn TOO sharply.
-Bonus 2*
Not much to say here. In certain sections, if you go too far
up the bank tou will fall through a tiny gap and crash. any
wall contact will flip you.
5.3.Pulse
-Big Dippa
Fast refexes and a stomach for G's are essential
qualities for any driver attempting Pulse's roller
coaster of a curcuit. Jello-heads need not apply.
-The Crab*
A beautifully unassuming curcuit with an inverted twister jump.
It'll leave your lunch in you mouth and your breakfast on your seat!
-Bonus 3*
The pop-up ramp at its most destrutive. The one on the third
straight is the worst. Looks safe in the menu but it's not.
5.4.Global
-Death Drop
Multi-routes, multi-jumps, and multi-hazards, Global's first
track proves they mean buisiness. Mind that gap! Wait a
minute... Gap? What gap? There is no gap. And ah, yes, this
track features the good ol' pop-up ramp.
-Switchback*
Don't dare blink... Don't dare brake! Probably the best
advice you'll hear concening this gem of a track. Look out for the
fall-off section near the finish line, and for the two corkscrews. And
yes, the second turn will require braking.
-Bonus 4*
Looks unsafe in the menu but it's safe enough, wit no hidden hazards.
If you stop on the underside you won't fall off. Trust me, I tried
it!
5.5.Million Plus
-Tsunami Twister
A short, explosive curcuit featuring th Japanese company's
gut-tickling twister jump. Buckle your lunch down!
-Fly By*
Two brain-curdling twister jumps punctuate the mild striaghts and
bad complexion of this track. Careful control is needed over the
jumps-too fast and you could become just another statistic.
-Bonus 5*
Another place where wall contact will flip you. If you're smart,
you'll cut off the circles and just keep turning right,
the game will still count your laps. Those who play Microsoft
Monster Truck Madness (the original) will notice a slight
resemblance to "Round and Round".
5.6.Mission
-The Bridge
You'll find yourself up to your neck in trouble as soon as you start
rolling on this track. Splits, big air, and cunning obstacles all
go to prove that Mission is on a mission for fatlities!
-The Coffin Run*
You wont know whether to laugh or cry as you zoom around Mission's
second offering. Gentle bends soften you up before the corkscrew
jump to make you think that a desk job might be a good idea.
-Bonus 6*
Beware! The pop-up ramps will tear up your car, and the tunnel
is a fall-off section!
5.7.Zizin
-Siamese
Zizin's course boffins have created a winding track complete
with two magnificent loops. Pedal to the metal and shut your eyes!
-Devil's Hairpin*
More Japenese innovation! Zizin's second curcuit boasts a
frustrating fall-off section and a spectacular split loop.
THIS should seperate the speed fiends from the has-beens.
-Bonus 7*
Just a big circle. Wall contact will flip you, unless you
can kick out your tail and hit the wall with the back of your
car. VERY easy to start skidding. If you go too far up the
bank (on the left side only) you'll fall through a gap and
crash. Watching opponets drive this track can be hilarious.
5.8.Reise Wagon
-Gateway
"Unforgiving" is the only word that accurately sums up this
track's character. The Germans have put almost everything into
this track, incuding a corkscrew
-Nemesis*
Jumpy, bumpy, inclines, and fast times just about sums up this
German peach. You think you know what to expect by now? Wrong!
-Bonus 8*
This track sports TWO split loops, with a split section in
between. This track has a uniqe-to-this-track obstacle, on
the front straight there are two places where the road surface
opens up, exposing an area down below where you will crash.
I think you can also fall through a gap on the side of the track.
*Denotes track that must be unlocked
6.Bugs & Glitches
6.1.My Bugs & Glitches
On the car select menu, sometimes when you select a new car and
press enter, the previous car will go out just a little bit, then
come right back in. The dials will spin too. You will hear a
car driving away, but you won't hear one pulling up. This was
kind of hard to explain but you'll know what I mean when it
happens to you. Just a minor annoyance, maybe not even an
annoyance.
Sometimes the little "beeps" that go off whe you select something
will go away, and so will the "whooeeee" noise when you start a
race. You'll still be able to hear music if you have it enabled,
and engine noises will sitll be audiable. When you come back from
a race, the menu FX will be back. This has only happend to me once,
it happened the evening I was collecting lap times for the "Extra
Analysis" section, so I'm inclined to believe that this was just
a fluke. The next morning I decided not to do the lap times. Let me
know if this has ever happened to you.
On Bonus 2, when you pass the starting line the game will flash
your current position (and make a comment about it if speech is on),
even if the race is not over.
6.2.Your Bugs & Glitches
I got a mail a very long time ago from Lyndi Purcell that I forgot
to put in this FAQ. I don't remember it exactly, but here is the
Q & A.
The problem: Lyndi said that she bought Whiplash wanting to bring
back "childhhod memories" and tried to run it on her Windows XP
computer. When she clicks "play", the screen goes black like the
game is going to run, then, instead of going to the splash screen,
it just displays a mess of black and red pixels.
The soloution: I seriously don't know what could be causing this problem,
but I do know the WinXP does not include DOS but some "imatation"
command-line software with which Whiplash may be incompatible. It ran
trouble-free for 2+ years on my '97-'98 Gateway2000 G6-300 mid-tower
running Windows 98 with a 300mhz Pentium II MMX and a Voodoo3 graphics
card from now-defunct graphic board maker 3Dfx (it came with integrated
graphics), until the hard drive got too full. Putting some junk files
in the digital dumpbin fixed the problem and now it works just fine.
A plane-Jane Pentium I should suffice. This game was desinged
for use on a 486 class computer but VGA graphics don't cut it. You need
a Pentium I or higher so you can run SuperVGA graphics.
Although this wasn't in my reply you could alternitivley pick up a copy
of MS-DOS. I don't know where you could find one, but a bit of web
searching might turn up a company that still sells it. You could try
FreeDOS, a free MS-DOS work-alike, but I'm not really sure.
7.Opinions
7.1.My Opinion
Hey hey! It's me, KCarFanatic! And it's time to review a game, KCarFanatic
style! I have a sarcastic tilt, but never mind.
"Story" won't be included in the average, as there is no story!
The Vital Stats:
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
Learning Curve: 30-60 Minutes
Story: NA\10
This game doesn’t have a story, that would only demean
the mindless destruction. Seriously, whoever gets tired of
mindless destruction?
Gameplay: 7\10
The Good
-Hammering opponents until they explode is crazy fun
-There are actual differences between the cars
-Distinct driver personalities
-Those stunts are WAY KOOL
The Bad
-Those stunts are WAY DANGEROUS
-Terrible physics model
-Landing stunts is nigh-on IMPOSSIBLE
The cars are as diverse as the cars in a Fred Meyer parking lot, and
learning what each one is good for is crucial. The Auto Ariel is way
average, but I prefer the global for its incredible resistance to
damage and the Million Plus for its superior grip. As for the tracks, they
have some good designs, and some crazy STUPID AND ANNOYING stunts and
unexpected booby traps. Don't forget the pits! Your pit strategy should
depend on the following: your car's durability rating, your ability to
survive course hazards, and how sadistic the other drivers are.
Graphics: 1\10
The Good
-Decent framerate, around 35 FPS
The Bad
-Everything else
Absolutely TERRIBLE. Cars don't lay rubber or make tire smoke, and
don't even get me started on the pixilated textures, car models, and
environments. I dunno how people had fun playing games before Windows 95. I
almost forgot to mention that cars don't show progressive damage
other than poorly animated smoke\flame until they explode in a cloud
of brown smoke, which is poorly animated too. Grr.
Sound: 4\10
The Good
-Not much...
The Bad
-Commentator annoys the heck out of you
-Overly generic sound effects
The commentator shouts idiotic sayings that sometimes don't apply, and
the generic sound effects really get to ya. 'Nuff said.
Value: 5\10
Rent it first... if you can find it that is! See for yourself how it is.
Summary\Misc.\Reviewer's Tilt: 8\10
The Good
-Mindless destruction
-Addictive
The Bad
-No printed documentation
-Appalling graphics
-Generic SFX
-Pesky commentator
-Pathetic excuse for "showing progressive car damage"
Despite all the bad scores, given by me and others, you
just can't keep me from liking this game. I'm addicted to
mindless destruction. So I'm putting an 8 on Reviewer's Tilt.
Final Score (not counting story): 5\10
Summary: Awesome for its time, but now it's just a plain old eyesore.
Q: Do you have school or is gaming your life?
A: I'm homeschooled. And no, gaming isn't my life. My mom
will only let me play videogames on Fridays (Usually mom gives me
the day off) and Saturdays (maybe once in a while if I behave well
enough she'll let me play on another day). And I have to
vacuum the rug on Saturdays. I can't play on Sundays either.
UPDATE: That's old hat. A few months ago I fell ill and she lifted
that (I could use e-devices on any day EXCEPT Sunday) because I don't
have much else to do when I'm sick. She never changed it back. Yippie!
Q: You can't play on Sundays? You sound like a Christian!
A: Yes, as a matter of fact I am.
Q: Why did you dump that info into tables in Extra Analysis?
A: Because it's a neat, complete way to store information.
Q: What does FAQ stand for?
A: Frequently Asked Questions. Oh, but this document much more than
that. I prefer to call it a "game guide".

@%!$#& idiot! You could not make a better FAQ if you wanted to!
Fall down a hole and break your fingers, I don't want to see any
more of your worthless trash on the 'net ever again!!!!!!!
I've seen a better FAQ written by monkeys, dork!
malware
Easy to understand. DO NOT send me a mail with the sole intent
of infecting my PC with malicious progams.
spam
Pretty easy. If you haven't already encountered it, spamming
is sending mails that only advertise some product, usually
sent to many recipients. I consider obligatory and mailbombs
to be spam. Obligatory is including just a little bit of legit
communications to justify what is otherwise a spam. A mailbomb
is sending thousands, sometimes millions, of mails to one
recipient with the sole intent of crashing the receiving
mail program. Don't do this. It's bad.
Spam types
ECM: Excessive Cross Mailing. This is sending the same message
to many people. Most e-mail spamming is ECM.
EMM: Excessive Multi Mailing. This is sending the same message
to one person many times. If you send to many, this can become
a mail bomb.
On message boards, these become ECP and EMP for excessive cross
posting and excessive multi posting. Most spamming in these
places in a combo of ECP and EMP.
virus hoaxes
Pretty easy also. I can detect hoaxes by the features of the virus,
and the genral tone of the message. Typical tip-offs include
quoting "reliable sources" without actually naming them, and
the virus doing thing that would be quite impossible.
I also know of several hoaxes, such as the Baby New Year
Virus hoax, the "AOL Flashing IM" hoax (I don't use AOL
anyway) the "AOL4Free Virus" hoax, the Awareness Virus"
hoax, and the AOL Melinnium Riot. Symantec Security Response
can usually put the lie to a virus hoax straght away!
Please note that there is an AOL4Free Trojan Horse
and an AOL4Free Virus hoax. Don't confuse 'em.
The AOL4Free Trojan Horse was probably where the AOL4Free
Virus Hoax originated, the work of a clever hoax-artist
who thought he might scare people who don't remember the
details very well. Remember: if the supposed type
refers to a successful ploy used in a midevial war,
it's a real threat. If it refers to something
infectious, it's a hoax and should be actively
ignored. HTH.
Fail to comply with the above rules (in other
words, send me something listed under "Types of mail I won't
accept") and I will ignore and delete the offending
e-mail. Do it agian, and I will not only dump your e-mail, but
I will add you to my spam filter too! All real-deal FAQers
have a spam filter, and I'm no exeption. The reason is obvious.
Let's NOT get together
Send me a "Let's get togeter" e-mail and I will add you to my spam
filter right away.
A word about chain letters
Just when you thought I'd told you about everything I don't
want you sending me: NO CHAIN LETTERS!!!! A chain letter is
a funny or interesting e-mail that asks you to forward it to someone
else. Chain letters open up a can of worms with viruses and
spyware if you have any camping out on your system, as
well as the ever-present e-mail worm. Besides, they clog my inbox anyway.
My policy on bad words
Bad words will be censored (blanked out) either with
asterisks (like this: ****) or with a random combination of
symbols (like this: $@!%).
Also, if you're European, don't tell me that I spelled
tires wrong several times. I'm an American, and that's how I
spell it. I can understand when people say tyres instead of
tires, centre instead of center, metre instead of meter, and
so on. Just don't tell me that I spell it wrong.
Another note directed at non-Americans: PLEASE use Imperial
measurments! If you were born anywhere but the USA and
therefore use the Metric system, a conversion table
is probably available at Useborne.com (not 100% sure).
If there's none there or you don't want to go there,
I have the Useborne Internet-Linked Encyclopedia of
Science sitting around the house somewhere, so I
can just copy the conversion table out of the back
and e-mail it to you. It does NOT, however, say
how to convert Ps to horsepower or Newtonmeters
to Pound-feet, so ya better figure that out ahead
of time. Horsepower and Ps measurments are usually
very similar. Lb-ft and Nm, however, are NOT.

Version 4.21 (October 13, 2006)
-Added a bug
-[Your Name Here] used this version as a
base for his [game goes here] game guide!
-Made a few other small improvements
So you might wonder why I'm so generous. Well, for me, FAQing is
a hobby and a pastime rather than a buisiness. My theory is that
this urge to copyright and to hate those who ripoff FAQs merely
spawns from a ego contest that I'm not participating in. Either
that or people get ultra uptight about a little document that
only benefits the small group of people that play the game.
I don't care if people steal my work. Ten years from now, when
I have a career and I'm toiling away on Project Harcourt, it won't
matter anyway.
16.Contact Info
Here's my e-mail address:
raykam549(at)hotmail(dot)com
You must replace (at) and (dot) with @ and ., respectively. I put
it that way so that rouge webcrawlers wouldn't find it and subject me
to spam. You do not need to ask to add me to your address book.
17.Credits
Universal Interactive Studios for making the game.
CJayC for running the best FAQ site on the net.
Russel Abarintos (A.K.A. alaskanpie) for inadverdantly
tipping me off about the name of the illegible typing
style 1337 Speak (see Version 1.2 under the Update tracker
section for more details).
My parents for allowing me to do this
Lyndi Purcell for a glitch
And finally, me for just doing it!
