To beat the aqueduct race you have to go on the sides of the walls when you get close to the speed bump. Go slightly up it to clear the speed bump then all the way back down.

I cant pass the grey line on Mulholland, but I can win cars pretty easy.

-Race on the Aqueduct for pink slips
-Count the offshoots (the grey squares on the sides)
--- The first bump is after three offshoots (count two after the oil slick if youre in a manual)
--- The second bump is four offshoots after the pointless walls
--- The third bump is two offshoots after the second pointless walls
- Slow down when you get to the bumps, you must go on the angled wall around them. If you go to fast you may flip and risk not getting back on flat ground in time.

My recommendation for new players is to buy a $400 or so car, give it a V8 big block and an auto trans, keep it two barrel carby until you can afford upgrades. Then go and find a player you can beat easily on the drag race track, but dont beat him. Slow down and stop before you get to the line (do it just after the overhead sign), wait for him to pass you, count to five, and then finish. After an easy victory, theyre more than happy to race for pink slips.

Figured a good way to get cash early in the game.

How did you figure that out? Months of experimentation? Decrypting the game code?

You heard about a cheat. Don't try and take credit for it, man.

If you have actually read his post carefully, he just describes a strategy - possibly one he could have figured out by himself - to acquire money in the game.
No need for sarcasm, even less for flaming.

The aquaduct races are pretty easy. Just start off with a slow car and learn the track.
The Mulholland Drive is, as I see it, literally impossible. At a certain point in the track you come across a grey part of the road. No matter what you do, you crash. The entire road is blocked.

I have spent much much time playing this game... I have had over $200,000 in my account by August... and I can master almost every aspect... but I've never beaten the King on Mulholland. Mulholland is tough. I get all my money by racing cars for pink slips on the Aqueduct race and then selling them. The Mulholland area that turns all grey is easy to get past, you just have to drive under 60mph. The problem is, then you get passed by your opponent and lose the race.

Well, I don't remember exactly, but I managed to do it once. You need to go very slowly and run over the "hole" at the exact right place. If I remember well, there is two "squares" over the hole, and your wheels should run over them.

this is incorrect... just pass on the left of the hole, right over the grey area, below 60 mph.

No kidding, its just like the "cheat" in SR1, Myself and a friend "discovered" that by pure accident as kids, and only because we where trying to sell the car off in pieces to try get more money.

None the less... whats with everyone posting about SR3 over and over.. Now I dont mean posting about it, I mean people posting "You can download SR3 here" when its been posted countless times before, on page 1 first? Do people not know how to read?

Oh and I still cant finish this game either, going to be trying during my bordem time at work to get it right

howcome street rod 2 does not work on my laptop? i click into it and it comes up with four screens but they are stuffed up! :ranting:

Let's see...

It's obvious.

You are trying to run the game under Windows XP, aren't you?

Why don't you try the nice, pretty emulator known as DosBox?

What makes the car go fast ingame? Fuel Injection or Racing Manifold + 2 Racing Carburators?
