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...

There are a lot of people not having any issues with the cops. There's just that select group of whiners that immediately run for the forums to complain when something isn't just handed to them. And now you're all running a herd mentality thinking everyone is struggling.
The game is easy and the cops are easy. You're just slow.
Any tips on how I can improve my car so that I can easily escape from heat level 3 cops without abusing jumps and parking garage? I want to use my memory for more important things than memorizing every jump in racing game.

Right off the bat, I think you should use "Damage Reduction" instead of the radar jam (I don't even know what the jammer actually does). With the Elite perk, your car will have nearly 3x as much health. Otherwise the set up looks good, as long as your suspension, differential, and tires are on the Track/Race spec. For the primary perk, I usually use the Elite Nitrous Refill, but I rarely ever use any Nitrous in the night mode.
As to getting away, I never find myself needing to revert to jumps or this mentioned parking garage haha :P. As long as you can gain a few seconds here and there, you should be more than fine just swerving through roads, taking quick cuts through fields/forests, and generally just trying to take as many turns as you can to lose visibility of them on longer stretches of road.
At Heat 5, the Rhino charging at you can also be used to knock out a few cops chasing you, as long as you time your dodging of the truck.

I already switched it to DR. It was just filler because it was only elite passive I had at that momemt and didn't want to waste money on it. I have been grinding money and tried to find fun cars to drive because there's not much else for me in this game. I have only managed to sneak into one level 5 race and I got busted after very long chase. Other 6 (3 with this car) attemps to get to either one of high heat races have failed.Well, I got ultimate 15lb nitrous which isn't best but hey, at least I got ultimate part.

15lb nitrous is the way to go.
@ColAvalanche311It's too long for most races. It also takes 1 hour to refill. And cops laugh at it when they accelerate faster than Evo IX.
It takes you the same amount of time to refill the full 1x 15lb nitrous as it does to refill only 2x 3lb nitrous (2 out of 5).
Yes it is a big boost and you need to know when to use it, but it is definitely better than the small 3lbs.
@ColAvalanche311Which leads us back to one of my major complaints about this game: if you want to be good at this game you have to know every mm³ of it.
"Cops aren't problem" only applies to races and even then we are talking about heat level 4 or lower.
Why I can't outrun heat level 3+ cops even in the Evo IX with ultimate parts? Before you say stop using slow car: fully upgrade your superior Corvette and then challenge fully upgraded Evo IX to 1/8 or 1/4 mile drag race. Prepare to lose.Edit: Actually, if it's so easy many here say can anyone explain why I can't outrun (races not included) heat level 3+ cops in maxed Evo IX?

I fully upgraded an Evo IX yesterday and that car is a beast. You should more than able to escape the cops in it. I guess you're just trying to lose them on straights, whereas you should be cutting through fields, taking many turns through the cities, and trying to make the most of every second you can get ahead of them.
If you would like, add me on Origin or Discord and I can stream how I escape from cops in an Evo IX for you (haven't tried it, but given the car it should be incredibly easy).
- @ColAvalanche311 I have tried almost everything from jumps to zig zaging in city to confusing AI in parking garage.
I even got in almost endless escaped -> I found the car! -> escaped until I got busted while trying to hide on top of containers.
