• "Really think you're special, huh? Well go out there and prove it."
• "Look kid, you show me you deserve it, and I've got upgrades for you. But once you install them, you keep in mind who's making you win."
• "Well, I didn't think I'd have to actually give you a part. So take one and get out!"
• "Oh yeah, you won! Alright, you go ahead and take one of my upgrades, but try not to wreck it."

"Keep Them Coming"

• "Number three across the board, not bad. You got what it takes to keep going?"
• "Oh, did that win make you feel special? You ain't nothing but ordinary, your car with a few of my parts in it, that's special."
