makes this car best suited for tracks with easy turns.

the cars.

Performance:
Top Speed: 175 mph
0-60: 4.8 sec.

Comments: This is the cheapest car in the game, but sadly, you get what
you pay for. Poor acceleration and speed make this a very bad car(at
least compared to the other cars).

Top Speed-3.5/5
Braking-4.5/5
Handling-3.5/5

expect an early lead.

Performance:
Top Speed: 212 mph
0-60: 4.0 sec.
0-100: n/a
Comments: The 112i, in my opinion the coolest looking car in the game, is
like a mini-McLaren F1. It has good acceleration and speed, and below
average handling.

9. Ford Indigo

Top Speed-3.5/5
Braking-5/5

tracks.


=====B. Track List=====

There are 7 tracks in NFS II:

1. Proving Grounds
2. Outback
3. North Country
4. Pacific Spirit
5. Meditarraneo
6. Mystic Peaks
7. Monolithic Studios(you need a code to unlock this track, see the Code
Section for more info.)

1. Proving Grounds
This is a real track in Norway where new cars, especially fast sports
cars like the ones in this game, are tested. It is a very easy track, and
its main purpose is to get you aquainted with the game's controls.

2. Outback
Set in Australia, this track is good for practicing tight turns. Be
careful on the jumps-you could crash as you land if you're not facing
straight.

3. North Country
Don't freak when you see the map of this track. The 4 hairpin turns look
tough, but become rather easy with practice. Cars with good braking
dominate here.

4. Pacific Spirit
This track is like the Outback, only bigger, and with tighter turns. The
bridge turn looms especially difficult to pull off cleanly.

5. Meditarraneo
Set in what looks like Greece or Italy, this track isn't really hard,
just long.

6. Mystic Peaks
This is the longest track in the game. Don't go off the road or you may
fishtail on the snow.

7. Monolithic Studios
This is the most fun track. You will see sets from many different movies.
Outer space, dinosaurs, huge jumps, flaming buildings, and holographic
maps are just some of the things you will see.
