Remember - this game is all about illegal street racing. Gassing it on "Go" will leave your opponents in the dust, and jumping the gun is allowed here without your opponents knowing what hit them. While waiting for green, do a burnout by flooring the gas while engaging the E-brake. Watch the countdown and release the E-brake early while there are three or four bars left in the countdown timer. With this technique, you’ll smoke your opponents off of the line each and every time.
Collect the hidden Rockstar barrels to unlock the corresponding cheat option. Enabling a cheat will stop your progress in Career mode and disable the earning of money and reputation from races.
Do the amount of races required (DO NOT NEED TO WIN) for EACH of the vehicle class types to unlock their particalar customization upgrades. Tuners, Muscles, Luxury, Exotics, and Superbikes are the vehicle class types.

You can challenge various highway battlers to quick races by flashing them with your high beams when you’re on the freeway. Racers with red markers are considered the hardest, though you can smoke ‘em easily with this easy trick. Before starting a highway battle, build up lots of speed from behind the opponent. As you pass, flash your lights to start the race. You’ll blast by the opponent before he even thinks about accelerating, giving you an awesome advantage and an almost surefire win in the short race.
To unlock the infinite nitrous cheat, which can’t be used in career mode or other REP-earning missions, find ten Rockstar collectibles strewn around the game.
