Summary:
Being a motorhead I really liked the technical aspects of the game. Very realistic tuning, much like Desktop Dyno and Drag sims. However, this was about all it was, and not much different. The game play is terrible and not realistic at all. All it is good for is simulating a motor and other aspects to see what kind of time you would possibly get in the 1/4 mile. Burnouts are worthless.

Summary:
This game is for people who like racing (duh) if you work for Ford, Dodge, GM whatever the tuning part should be easy, for kids it will hurt a lot, if your under oh...14 watching paint dry will be a lot more fun and less frustrating. Overall this game will not ruin a weekend or week... If there were a IHRA Drag Racing 3 with improvments i would buy it (cheap) hey, its a game about drag racing with 10 seconds of racing the game can only be so good. If there were maybe a fantasy 1/2 mile or even mile track that would be cool

Price Paid:  $15.00 from Circuit City

Summary:
This game is best suited for someone who has knowledge in the actual building of engines and cars.It is not for younger people or anyone with no knowledge of at least minor mechanics.These people will become extremely frustrated very quickly.I like a lot of detail in a game but this game has too much of it in the technical area and not enough in the presentation.Not a bad game for the money but I could have given myself a headache for much cheaper!

Summary:
Overall, I think this game would be perfect for someone that really wants to learn everything about drag racing. However, for the regular Joe that just wants to play a game, it is much too difficult. In my opinion, realism is taken too seriously in this game.

Summary:
A so-so game that I "got what I paid for"... and then later returned due to a disc read error. My PS2 wouldn't read this disc and I ended up returning it and getting my money back.
This game is for hard-core gamers with a lot of patience and not much money.
