ill be honest. ive only played NFS games at internet cafes. my favorite racing game is Colin McRae's DiRT and my second favorite is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
How's your car running?
The /ovg/ wiki has a guide and downloads to get most of them running on modern OSs, they're well worth playing.
from the sounds of things i wouldnt like them, i only like GTA SA so much because it's clearly made by gun and car enthusiasts. the only real break from physics that isn't for ease of play is that there's air control but otherwise I've found that playing it like I play DiRT or 4ZA in autotragic mode gets me better results than treating it like Mario Kart.
NFS unironically sounds like Mario Kart -- gaining speed by drifting instead of bleeding speed, car combat being a thing instead of contact just ending in going off-course and wrecking, etc
ive played the literal arcade version the most, probably, and have disliked it for its physics being unintuitive compared to "simcades" like DiRT or even Sega Rally or Wangan or Initial D (but then again i fucking hate wangan and initial d for similar reasons, the driving is somehow less responsive and less intuitive than things like Colin McRae Rally/DiRT and GTA games and such)
redpill me on NFS
I was going to tell you all about how the original NFS games were far less arcadey than you think and you can tell how many of the devs were auto enthusiasts just by watching the credits (which list what vehicles the deva owned) but given you lack the intelligence to either go to Google or not just type "redpill me" you can go back to GTA Shark Card Online.

i dont know what that is.
Thank for the advice, good thing the only console I won is a PS2.
Carbon was really fun but man was it regressed. I still love it though, the atmosphere of canyon duels and the way the moon and lighting effects reflected off the cars, the sounds of the engines and the tires squealing on the midnight canyon were fucking fantastic.
I thought the canyon races were the worst part of the game with the forced shitty drift physics.

best everything, really
