As one of the first (if not the first) NFS games to truly feature 60's musclecars, this game got me from the word "Go!". Spent tons of time on this game, and had so much fun with it. Don't get me wrong, did turner and exotic playthroughs as well, but running an old Camaro and GTO through the city streets, ticking off the AI running tuners let me have tons of fun.
One time, even got away from the cops after hitting the spike strips with all 4 tires, the car had so much power. Granted, found a hiding spot, but after the cooldown expired, my tires were magically good as new!
