Well, you can't win 'em all.
So far in Hot Pursuit 2, the Desert Heat course is the toughest. I've tried racing on this track multiple times and it keeps kicking my butt in Hot Pursuit mode. I thought rear-wheel-drive was putting me at a disadvantage, so I turned to one of the few all-wheel-drive cars in the game: the Porsche 911 (996) Turbo. Even then, I ended up getting second!
Maybe the later tracks will be harder, but this is the hardest for me right now.
