For Fast High reving cars for nfshp 2 edit car.ini settings also edit carracer.ini for online games in the cars folder,
program files \ea games \need for speed..\cars\elise and so on edit one at a time and drive it.
I read about changing the mass of the car but there is so many more things to play with....
Leave the Gear raito's alone
Lower the diff ratio if you want more take off speed or you only use a few low gears.
Be sure to copy the cars folder to a safe place just incase you need to restore the std cars, there also on the cd to just copy and paste them if you get into trouble

I feel the need for speed now some 400km/h on a straight parts
I will host public game called "Fast Wild Cars" some times so you can try my cars out.
I can post other cars if needed but there is still a lot of work to be done.

I want to make car heavy and fast, and I done it.
But with this settings car go straight on. How to change handling?
