You could select real world parts from the "catalog" or from the online "ebay" style market where players would add parts they no longer needed or devs would throw in new items as well. It had an option for how much involvement you wanted to have with the building of the cars right down to the piston size and all. Or you could keep it idiot proof and have the game match parts. It was sooooo in-depth and ahead of it's time! Quarter mile racing and all. And believe it or not, if you set up the suspension right and had the power etc, you could lift the wheels and actually used the wheelie bars available for purchase. Still holding out for a game like this. But in the end there wasn't enough player base and EA shut it down just inside of a year if I recall. Again; ahead of it's time.

I played that game! I had a black mustang with red flames. Shit was addicting.
That was probably the only online game I have ever played.
