Yeah I actully bought this game when it first came out at the Frys near me. I have been playing for a while now, not sure how far I am right now but I think around 50/111 or something (The progress bar). The customization is great, Every couple races I customize my car different. Sometimes its blue / aqua kinda cool/cold look, other times I just like black and dark blue or red. Everytime I unlock new visuals I customize a new car around it.

The actual performance upgrades are fine, I expected maybe a bit more customization there but its still good. There are a couple races now that even on easy I have to play more then 3 times (Mostly just the last man standing and circuit ones). The drag races are easy and fun, I like how they set that up. The skidding one (cant think of name off hand, im at school) is the easiest to rack up huge points and its always easy to win. Im great at that skidding thing.

The graphics are great on my geforce 4 ti 4800, with everything set to max. I tried that speed blur like 2 days after I started playing the game because I read that it was pretty cool, but I cant get used to that. No slowdowns on my comp with everything max and I only have 256 ram with 2.0ghz proc.

Hey WW, how bout a few screenshots of your car? =] Ill post some when I get home tonight. Anyone else who plays, feel free to post screenshots.
