Plot

The plot takes place in 2003 and is about Vince, an underground driver who is looking for a car. A GTSR model (the best in the game), its only clues are the RedSet name and a mechanic's place, a reference point for car enthusiasts in the area. Vince enters. The mechanic tells him to leave if it's for an oil change, but Vince explains to him that he is looking for a car and the mechanic replies that then it is different and makes him choose the car from three models: the Hatchback si, the Pickup 150 or the 322ci. Then he meets Rick, an underground pilot with his two minions: Mac and Dante. After a few races, he meets Carmen, the mechanic's daughter and Lewis, his brother. The mechanic offers him an exchange with the GT coupe since his car is still new. After some time Rick introduces him to Mike, Lucy and later Donny, his mechanic who offers him an exchange with the Horse V8, the second-fastest car in the game. After the thief, it turns out to have been Rick, who was trying to sell her to a cop named McCullen with a plan not to get caught. In one part you fight with Dante, then with Rick. After Carmen, who used to hate Vince, has now fallen in love with him, she shoots Rick and it turns out he was the one who wanted to sell the GTSR, right from a briefcase full of money that Vince will find in the trunk of Rick's car.
