If I were to install it on another device, I could see myself trolling the top few guys for a week, at most. It would be pretty amusing to beat them by like hundreth of a second, especially if you are friends with them. Other than that obscure reason, I see zero purpose in a speed hack.

Unlimited gold magically appearring from nowhere is probably quite easy to spot server-side. Being "clever" and just making it easy to "earn" gold by placing well in WTT and similar it would seem is easier to get away with.

In terms of catching the cheaters: since the ghost is recorded for others to compete against they essentially have full telemetry for each submitted lap. Could the server not simply compare this against the known specs of the car to check that maximum speed, acceleration and deceleration are not too high? I guess the cheaters could get around this by being even more clever but then they would at least be racing on even terms with those who have FU cars.
