The Sharkport is the easier way though. You can actually see what you are putting on a car in MKS (as in the part name and stuff). With a Gameshark you have to input number codes. You could end up putting in the wrong code. Plus you have to go out and search for codes for certain parts and cars. Get a Sharkport man, you can do alot more with it than with a Gameshark, like uploading replays, gamesaves, etc...
