i thought there was  a game for this already??

wasnt it called umm .. what was that again

NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED?

[shivadee]

well it was NFS underground
but there was an arcade version of F&F which blew chunks. the game is level balls

As far as i remember, Most Wanted did not have any drifting involved.

You mean competition wise? Yea i think so...and i think it was a good idea too. The instance of a drift and a race like they did in NFS 1 and 2 brokeup the gameplay too much.
Keep an eye out for NFS Carbon commin out later this year. The game is mostly online now with teams. You form a team and go into the city setting up races with other teams. You can make your own stakes or watever.
