    Re: Racing games for XBOX?

    Project Gotham Racing 2 is an incredable title and while there is no customizing the looks of your car it is far and away a better feeling and looking racer than NFSU. And it has a 'Stang. This game is also the best online Xbox racer to date.

    Burnout 2 is another great game. This game does the cut away crash camera 100x better than NFSU and has similar handling as you race through cities bursting with traffic (better traffic patterns than NFSU as well). But, no customization and no real cars.

    Midnight Club 2 does street racing but the handling is off (feels like GTA3) and the graphics a bit murky (looks like GTA3) looking for my taste. The traffic AI is also has a tendancy toward odd. It has no real cars or customization but two things it does have are free roam cities and motorcycles (like GTA3). This game is also online.

    Midtown Madness 3 is a great game but plays more like a not so crazy Crazy Taxi than a true racer. Tons of real life cars though - again, no customization. Like Midnight Club 2 it has free roam of the city so you pick your own route to get where your going. Much cleaner looking than Midnight Club but just as jaggy. This game is also online.

    Sega GT Online is much slower feeling than NFSU and the graphics won't wow you over although they are not bad by Xbox standards. The physics go for more realism so this probably takes it out of the running for 'arcade racer similar to NFSU'. However, I mentioned this game because it is full of real life cars (including the Mustang) and has a large amount of tuning option (not visual stuff though) which really impact the feel of your car. This game is also online.

    Rallisport Challenge is a very arcadey rally title. The handling is a blast and the game looks fantastic although no mustangs and no customization. Also you won't be driving in any cities or at night but if you try this one you might get hooked.

      I got NFSU for Christmas, and it still gets a lot of playing time. It's just so much fun to play and it never gets boring. Real cars that you can hook up and race, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

            All excellent choices for arcadish Xbox racing titles. I would put Sega GT Online at the bottom of the list, as the online features are pretty damn weak. But you could do a lot worse than this list -- all very good selections.

                  Midnight Club 2 has the best sense of speed and is the most hardcore racer out of the list(not as hard as pgr1 though). I like that the best out of all of those.

                        If you wouldn't mind racing some motorcycles(I know you want the stangs...) I'd definetly check out Moto GP2 as well. It has system link, split screen, and X-live for your multiplayer needs. It is also a really solid(and difficult) single player game.
                        EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.
