The first two: use Mode 3 as panning mode, and use a fairly slow shutter speed, such as 1/250, 1/125 or 1/60 even, that way you get the sense of speed and motion in to the picture. Also, try using a narrower depth of field (f/2.8-4.0), as it makes it easier to focus on/show what you want the viewer to look at.

The third: try to avoid pics with a lot of tire smoke, those jaggy corners ruin the whole picture. I've found that you can get rid of the jaggy corners by looking for the right angle.

The fourth: well, a picture of a glitch..? Pretty boring to me, sorry. :)

Keep practicing, you'll do fine! :)

Sure smoke and water effects are not for photomode! Exposure change also helps! From the first picture you can do smth interesting just trying some photomode features. I'm not speaking about CS5... that's where all fun starts!

You can try the different filters and aspect ratios as well. Personally I've recently fallen in love with the warm filter and 1:1 ratio to simulate my old medium format twin lens reflex camera :)

Another thing to work with is zoom levels and distances to the object. Also composition, you can capture the essense of the car by trying to involve bits of the scenery that enhances the sense of whatever you want to communicate. If it is speed for instance you maybe want to capture a long straight section of the road in the background, or if it is the cornering ability then why not try to get a corner or some curbs in the foreground of the picture? If it is the beauty of the car, you can try to get some spectacular scenery in the background, etc.
 
^eran put it well.
Also, I really hope you give some respons to us who are kind enough to give tips in the first place. I don't really see why people should continue to post tips if we cannot see our efforts in the newer pictures.

I thought that i had done most of the bits that you suggested. No smoke/rain, Diffrent depth of field, no glitchs.
