Nice mod! Will try it soon. I assume this would make drags more easier, sorta wish this was for UG2 as well, haha. That being said, I hope someone brings UG2 handling to Most Wanted (saw gaycoderprincess in the credit and instantly thought of her UC and PS handling mods)

Since you've already modified the driving mechanics with this mod, I think it might be possible to bring Carbon's coasting behavior to Most Wanted as well. If you could recreate that smooth throttle-off coasting from Carbon, it would be an incredible mod. Carbon's driving always felt much more natural because the car keeps moving under its own momentum instead of losing speed almost immediately after you let off the throttle.I think a lot of players would love this feature.

Since you made this mod, I have another mod idea that I think you could pull off.In NFS Carbon, when you release the throttle, the car naturally keeps coasting and gradually loses speed. It feels smooth, realistic, and like you're driving a real car. In NFS Most Wanted, however, the moment you release the throttle, the car slows down far too quickly and almost comes to a stop.

@hiddenmask58, the option of overriding the speedbreaker is toggleable in the configuration file, by default it's disabled.ive kept it on to show the slingshoot boost growing while drafting and decaying while leaving the opponent's aerodynamic wake
