these may not be exactly "Top Secret", but I haven't seen them anywhere as
of yet...  plain ol' NFS2 (not SE) had a lot of codes for xtra vehicles. but
as any NFS2 SE owner can tell you, those codes don't work in our version :^(

but don't fret boys, Ziffel to the rescue! there are only four that I know
of so far, but if anyone else knows more, please add them to this thread..

(type these at the MAIN MENU)

SLOT -- no need to steer, makes the track hold the car in the lane

BOMBER -- gives you a killer-looking '57 Chevy!  gorgeous to look at, but a
top-speed of only around 165 or so. don't expect to win races with it ..

TOMBSTONE -- puts you behind the wheel of a Nascar vehicle.

FZR2000 -- well look out, you're now driving an experimental prototype...
this baby has super-grip and can top out at around 265 or 270 mph! careful,
theose corners come up pretty fast at that speed!

Note: these cheats will NOT work in either Tourney or Knockout modes..

Thanks, and enjoy!
