Four unused preset cars exist, two of these depict early versions of Rachel's car. The first was a red Mazda RX-8 (SE3P), and the other was a blue Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII GSR (CT9A). The RX-8 preset can still be seen in pre-release gameplay videos. Apply the below code for the USA PlayStation 2 version of the game to modify the first sponsor car to an unused preset car.
Nfsu2 Cars Folder
The North American version has the 2000 Honda Civic Si (EM1), and the 2002 Acura RSX Type S (DC5) as exclusive cars, while the other regions have a Peugeot 106 GTI and Vauxhall Corsa 1.8 SRi, However, using a non-English language will change the Corsa to have an Opel logo.
The Sha_Do edition (a version of the game released only in Japan) has seven exclusive vinyls, replacing certain contest vinyls. The splash screen was changed and some car names' language strings were changed such as Nissan Skyline R34 instead of Nissan Skyline, Nissan Fairlady Z instead of Nissan 350Z (Z33), Toyota Trueno instead of Toyota Corolla GT-S (AE86) and Nissan Skyline Coupe 350GT instead of Infiniti G35 (V35). However, the exclusive cars follow the same lineup as the non-North American versions.
Folders named IMPREZA, LANCER, NEON, and S2000 can be found in the game's CARS folder, referring to four cars from the previous game that did not make it to this game: the Dodge Neon, Honda S2000 (AP1), Mitsubishi Lancer ES (CS2A), and Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS (GDA). These cars, along with the Acura Integra Type-R (DC2) (which was not mentioned in the folder) and the Acura NSX (NA2) (which had only mentions in the demo version) are part of the Olympic Imports mod, using models from the previous games (except for the NSX, since it did not appear in the game) for the most part.
Note* Both of the EU version exclusive cars can be used in the USA version if a savegame is created in the EU version (with both cars in garage) and later inserted to the USA version (manually copied to the savegames folder). Note that one will have to have the cars installed for that.
