3 mph

How do you go 222.3 m.p.h. in a car that only goes 202.5 m.p.h.?  Is it
the track?  Is it all downhill at a steep angle?

>Laying??? Maybe lying

No,Ivan's right. Laying in the Diablo (convertible) minimizes wind
resistance, enabling you to travel 20 mph above the usual top speed of the
car.

You also get fewer bugs in your teeth.

If you think he is lying, then explain this run.  Lost Vegas, Diablo
VT.

Top Speed = 227.1 mph
Total Time = 8:12.0
Best Lap = 59.4

I have another replay of a run where I hit Top Speed = 229.1 mph, Best
Lap = 58.4 seconds.

Any doubters can e-mail me for either of these replays.

And, its because of really big downhill runs (jumps) on Lost Vegas
that the cars will go so much faster than their normal top speed.

I though that the top speed for the diablo is 202.5, how did you get that
to speed?

          Someone should really put a FAQ together for this
game.....I'd do it, but I have midterms.  :P  To answer the question,
you need the BONUS CAR; win the TOURNAMENT TWICE and read the CREDITS.

Where the hell is the bonus track on that game?
I won all races on the three tracks and didn't get
a bonus track!
What's that deal with winning twice? Each track?
Do you then also get a bonus car with the bonus track?
Why does it say winning each track once will get you the
bonus track in the manual?
What's the scoop?
