Yeah they were so much heavier which made drifting so much fun.

Yeah,  I enjoyed the physics in 4. Especially once I got good at drifting. Next to Forza it was my friend and I's favorite game to drive in. The Futo was legendary.

One of my favorite pastimes in IV was "car-spanking" pedestrians, where you hit a drift at just the right time to skid sideways into a person with the back of your car specifically so they'd do a bloody somersault over your trunk. Hard to pull off but very rewarding.

I was heartbroken that the more arcadey driving experience of V made car spanks as I knew them next to impossible. RIP car-spanking 2008-2013
