The Pontiac Firebird is available as a stand-alone purchase.

Bait Crates Checkpoint removal
We know that a more open cop experience is important to our community and you will have no doubt noticed that the Abandoned Car system experiments with this. Due to the ongoing feedback we’ve received and the in-game telemetry from Abandoned Cars we’ve made the decision to remove all checkpoints from the Bait Crates system. The end point will remain in place but how you get there is entirely up to you.
In addition to the checkpoint removal we have increased the spawn rate, and Bait Crates will now appear in greater frequency across Fortune Valley.
As announced, Need for Speed Payback will be extended with Alldrive Hangout, which allows you to explore Fortune Valley alongside your friends and to show off your cars.
Additionally you get Catch-up Packs, which allow you to speed up the progression of your cars, new Underglow and Tire Smoke, as well as the ability to sell or trade-in all currently unequipped Speed Cards.
Also the Snapshot Pro mode got improvements, which means you can now take Snapshots while in a takedown sequence. Additionally you can zoom further away from the car and you get new filter options; cinematic, Cool, Warm, Grunge, Vintage, Desaturated, Lo-Fi, Vivid Retro, Infra Zone and Monochrome Monitor.
