Burnout 3: Takedown Cheats
How to use these cheats
Button names refer to the Xbox controller — A, B, X, Y, the LB/RB bumpers, LT/RT triggers and the D-pad. Unless told otherwise, enter codes from the pause or options menu, or while playing. Some cheats disable achievements for that save — keep a separate save before you start.

Let rivals pass: If you are low on boost and a rival is right behind you, slow down until he passes, then get a takedown. It refills a lot of boost and keeps them off your tail at the end of the race.
Aim your crash: You can steer your car while it is wheel-spinning at the start of a crash junction, useful for lining up a pick-up or ramp.
