There is this key that i pressed in burnout today, it was something like 0. when i pressed it the engine instantly blew and bonnet flew off. Is this some sort of nitris button?, or is it just for fun so you can blow your engine up? Also, when competing, i have bit quicker et's than other cars, but their mph is so much higher then mine, how do i get quicker mph?

To expand on what Rick has said do the following. After making a pass go to your Telemetry Tab in the shop and review your run. You want the car to max out the RPM in your final gear just as you cross the finish line. Once you get up to about 10500 RPM your engine is maxed out.(depending on your HP curve) If you have hit 10500 or so before you have reached the finish line try dropping your final gear ratio by .1 or your rearend gear by .1, keep dropping until the car doesn't go any faster. Watch your ET doesn't slow, as it is obviously the more important of the two!
