I used to play this game on the Xbox 360. I always drove that one Ferrari that could do 180MPH in reverse, or use the Ascari KZ1 to do the PIT maneuver on people drag racing in the city.
The actual driving experience in the game is so-so; it always felt like you were floating, and it was especially horrible in the mountains, since the cars don't seem to be half as heavy as they are in real life.
