I played this game through some of the beta period, when it was free. I managed to build '64 Galaxie that did low 11 second runs. The great thing about the game is that you can choose any style of racing you want. Circuit, street, drag... you name it.
Eventually, however, the fun does sometimes lag a bit. Like when you have been saving up for the last few hours to afford some new auction parts for the car, and you slap them on and it's not enough of an improvement to consistently beat people. Somehow you'll have to save up again and again and again, and there will always be someone faster than you.
Hopefully they'll continue to expand the game beyond the point I saw in the beta, otherwise it's just race for money > build cars > race for money > repeat. There are already supposed to be turf wars, though. Also they need to rework the graphics and the physics models a bit, I think that NFS:5 is better in those areas. It's a great idea though!
