NFS Heat Level 3+
Can we please talk about how ridiculous the cops become overpowered after heat level 2? EA has made this awesome atmospheric night time mode where the cops are truly out to get you, but they're so ov...

This would be sound advice if High Heat races unlocked after Rep Level 40. But they don't. Rep level 15 or so and you gain access to these races, but it is unbelievably difficult to escape or destroy the cops at that Rep level. You simply don't have access to enough parts or cars to outlast or outmaneuver them.
My biggest issue with chases is not that the cops are overpowered, but that they gain reinforcements so quickly before you can wreck the first 3 chasing you at heat 2 or 3, that 3 more are on you again, but this time they're all Mustang GTs and Corvette Grand Sports instead of Crown Vics, yet you're still driving around in Lancer Evo or a damn 180SX. It's completely imbalanced at low level. Based on some of these replies, it's even worse at high level, but in the opposite way; WE become too powerful.
@FrostyOblivion Don’t try to wreck the cops and don’t go looking for chases. You’ll do more damage to yourself trying to crash them and you’ll get plenty of heat level and rep if you just keep racing and deal with the pursuits during those. More often than not the chase will be over by the time the race is over and you can quickly move into the next one and do it all over agin. Once you’ve got enough, bank it and head out to start again.
My cars are all 400+ and my group has discovered a few tactics to escape heat 4-5 police. For one, lead them to the circle track behind the main garage, run a few laps and they'll eventually lose you.
Another option is to head towards the big mall and parking garage. On the second floor, there's a jump that will launch you on top of the building. The police can't reach you there.
I admit it's a bit of a cheese, but when I have 1mil+ rep I'll take any advantage.
