First the link to patch 1.0.1.18:

update - I thought I had to reinstall the original game, then install the new patch, but apparently you can just copy NFS.EXE from you DVD to avoid the reinstall and using up an activation. (Although the reinstall didnt mention anything about activation, perhaps as long as the registry is still there).
The new cars show up as "special edition" cars in the career shop, and also as bonus cars. A few of the events took quite a few retires, like the 2nd (street silver) Highway Battle. Some of the pro takeout and cost to state challenges had fairly short times to beat.
Although the GT2 is released last, the Dominator Z06 which is released after 30 dominations (or 31 if you you dominate all the regular level challenges first which rewards the RX7) is the quickest of this bunch. This is what the challenge board looks like when completed:
