Tails drove back to the rest of his friends. They saw him win his first race against a Toyota 2000GT.

Tails: Did you guys see that?!
Sonic: I sure did, well done buddy.
Knuckles: Next up is Shadow. He's going against another car with a hemi, a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner.
Shadow: *Pushes his car to the starting line*
Orange Bunny: *Admiring his orange roadrunner* So, you're Shadow The Hedgehog.
Shadow: And you're some bunny covered in fanta soda.
Orange Bunny: Were you expecting a real roadrunner to drive my car?
Shadow: I'm expecting you to lose since I have more horsepower.
Eggman: *Watching Shadow get into his car*
Rouge: *Watching Shadow with a smile* I'm next, so hopefully he won't be able to find me.
Orange Bunny: *Starts his car, and revs the engine*
Shadow: *Starts his car, but hears the engine* Wait, that's not a hemi! Fuck if I get out of my car now, I'll be disqualified! Only one way I can beat this turkey.

The light turned green, and both cars quickly accelerated.

Shadow: *Pressing the nitrous button* Yes, I'm winning. *Passes the finish line first* As soon as I get back to the starting area, I'm going to find the person who swapped engines!
Rouge: *At the starting line against Espio*
Vector: Something doesn't seem right.
Sean: I know what you mean Vector, Rouge has a more powerful engine in her car.
Espio: *Watches the light turn green, and he floors it*

Despite the extra horsepower, Rouge still lost to Espio. She was behind only by one quarter of a second.

Vector: Yes!
Knuckles: Now you just gotta win your race Vector, and you two will have a higher chance of winning.
Shadow: *Hears a hemi, and looks at Rouge's car* You!
Rouge: *Floors it*
Shadow: *Jumps on the hood of Rouge's car* Stop!
Rouge: *Swerving to the left, and right*
Shadow: *Pulls out a Desert Eagle* I said stop!
Rouge: *Slams her foot on the brakes*
Shadow: *His head goes through the front window*
Rouge: You were supposed to fall off.

The black hedgehog forced Rouge to switch the engines back into their original cars.

Rouge: Well, I may have lost, but I'm sure I'll find a butt load of money another way.
Shadow: You'll need it.
Eggman: So that's why you used your nitrous early. She switched engines from your cars.
Rouge: *Looks at Eggman* Oh, howdy.
Eggman: I'm going to give you a chance to redeem yourself. You help us cheat, and I'll let you live.
Rouge: What do you want me to do?
Eggman: Refill the nitrous tank in Shadow's charger, and go on top of the crowd stands with a rifle.
Rouge: Okay.
Eggman: Sonic has a few friends in the super car class, and I won't risk losing to them.
Rouge: I'll go get them supplies for you.
Eggman: Thank you.
