How to unlock the If You Ain't Cheatin', You Ain't Tryin' achievement in Grand Theft Auto 3 - Definitive Guide

This trophy will unlikely come naturally as you progress through the game. However, there are multiple ways in which you can reach the required number in a short period of time. Each of these methods are described below. You can track your progress towards the trophy by pressing  and navigating to Stats > Cars exploded.

Method 1:

Acquire the tank from Phil’s Armoury in Staunton Island (or by using cheats to immediately spawn a tank) and continually drive around squashing every car you come across. This will increase your wanted level quite quickly. This actually helps the situation as cop cars and FBI vehicles will drive straight into you, blowing themselves up. Just be sure not to get arrested and periodically return to your safehouse to save your game as this will in turn save your progress towards the trophy.

Method 2:

Acquire a fire truck and start the Fire Truck missions by pressing . Once the first blip appears on the minimap, press  again to end the mission. This will cause the car to explode. Simply repeat this process until you have earned the desired number of car explosions.

Method 3:

Exploding car cheat. This cheat causes all cars in close proximity to explode. Just keep spamming the cheat until the trophy unlocks. Even exploded cars around you will continue to explode each time you enter the cheat, so you don’t need to keep searching for new cars. This is by far the quickest method and the use of this cheat will not impact your progression towards any trophies, and will not lock you out of obtaining any trophies. The cheat to explode all vehicles is as follows:

           
(L2, R2, L1, R1, L2, R2, Triangle, Square, Circle, Triangle, L2, L1)

Get into the fire truck and press the right stick at intervals of about a second, this way you will launch and immediately cancel the fireman's mission, and for each cancellation you will receive +1 destroyed car. This is the easiest and fastest way to increase the counter to the desired number. Thanks to user almw for this tip.

The option with a fire truck is still faster, but I recommend changing the controls in the car to the fourth option, then the action button will be square. You can go watch a movie while clicking a button

A quick method that allowed me to get an achievement from 348 cars in just over 20 minutes. I knocked it out at the very last stage, so as not to disrupt 100% completion. On Staunton Island [the second city] there is a 3-story parking lot, not far from the shelter, where the mission is to kill Kenji Kasen. Climb to the very top and use the cheat code that XEP-KOT wrote about. As a result, one application of the cheat code costs +-20 cars. Exploded cars can be blown up an infinite number of times, they are included in the statistics.

By the end of the game there were about 350 cars... so I managed to try out a fire truck and a tank + FBI.
A fire is not always noted, so you can sit there for quite a long time, stupidly looking at the silhouettes and polygons. It took me 30 minutes...
But Tank + FBI raises the statistics very well, and it’s fun to drive - just like the good old days. I finished off a thousand cars in about 15-20 minutes.

The best way to get this achievement is to use a tank at the military base in the second city. We get into the tank, start blowing up cars, and once we reach the fifth wanted star, we absolutely don’t need to use the gun anymore, FBI cars will fly into your tank in droves, and you can safely drive around the city without earning a sixth star. Having blown up about 150-200 cars like this, go back to the military base and get into a new tank, this will reduce the time it takes to gain five stars and travel from the hospital to the base

I don’t recommend using this tip; it doesn’t always work and it takes a very long time. It's easier to take a tank from a military base and drive around the city. Earn 5 stars and drive not far from the shelter in the second city, in case there are 6 stars, we immediately go to the shelter and take “Anti-police”, we leave again. When we eat a cannon on a tank, we turn it back and shoot to speed it up, so things will go faster. If a tank catches fire, we explode in it; it takes 20 seconds to drive from the hospital to the military base.

I made this trophy using a cheat code! Drive to the city center, get out of the car and move away from it, then use this cheat code: , , , , , , , , , , , . And you will see that all the cars around have exploded, if you activate this code again, then those cars that have already been blown up will explode again (this also goes into statistics), find a place where there are many cars and constantly use this cheat code ( cops don't get angry with you)

The best way to get this trophy is to use the cheat code that XEP-KOTA posted. Moreover, a good option to quickly make a trophy would be in the parking lot in New Port, on Staunton Island. There are plenty of cars there, you will need to enter the code 100+ times to get the trophy.
The tank + FBI method is bad because it takes a long time to fill the cars, but with a cheat the process is many times faster. I hit about 300 cars in 15 minutes, and I was also knocked down a couple of times (at most, 3-5 minutes can be attributed to this). One way or another, it takes a long time, but with a cheat - ~3-5 minutes and the trophy is ready.

Take Rhino, get five stars and just drive around Staunton, while mountains of FBI cars constantly hit you and explode. The main thing is not to shoot with a tank and not to crush people, so as not to get the sixth star.
