Burnout was pretty awesome

Overall, not a lot of "character" in the cars... plenty of very impressive metal but not a lot of originality. As awesome as they are, I can only look at so many R8's and Aston's.... they're expected and the "wow factor" just isn't there after the first 5 of each roll in (the custom Razor GT-R caught my attention though, it was different and very cool). It's more exciting to me to see these cars randomly on the road than at Gumball. I was hoping there would be more uniqueness in the car selection... instead it was just the latest thing to hit the dealership's floor.
