SDA Apprentice -- (3-1)
Considering how a few of us were overrunning the F-Zero veriifcation, I thought it would be for the best to go ahead and post this topic (not going to bother to check for other threads for this game).
Quote from MAS8705:
Still, I might consider doing one for Most wanted if I can figure out the best cars to use. I know that by doing segments in the game, one could techincally "manipulate" the rewards at the end of the rival races in order to get the rival's vehicle and unique Performance upgrades. Considering how there are only 8 performance upgrades, if you get all eight (suspension, tires, brakes, engine, transmission, nitrous, turbo, and supercharger) if you can get those eight and then purchase the best vehicle by the time you get to #4, you could hook yourself up with the best vehicle to use by the end game. The idea of being able to get cash to buy and upgrade vehicles, getting rival vehicles to sell or even use, and figuring out how to do the pursuits without getting busted, this could be a very possible speed run. If Most Wanted is considered "Classic," then by all means, I'll be happy to join.

This is a great idea. Most Wanted is really great for speedrunning, because you must pick which races to do, make car plan so you can beat all races fast and have enough money for upgrades, also a lot of luck manipulation with police chases and picking reward cards at the end of each Black List member race. The game is very entertaining to play, so it would be great if you do a speedrun of it. And I think instead of buying a car near the end of game, it would be faster to win a good car from reward car and then upgrade it. And car selection: You can start with Colbat (I'm not sure it is the fastest though) and then win Toyota Supra from #13. With it you can sweep through the Black List really fast up to #6 or so with some upgrades. Then win some good car and use all your money and bonus upgrades and then beat the rest. If Razor would be a problem you can also buy Porshe Carrera GT or Mercedes McLaren. Good luck with the run!
