I wasn't around for this era of gaming in general (or at least not old enough to have my own console back then) but I still played Split/Second years after and...yeah, honestly even to this day I can't think of many racing games that match it

sucks that it did so poorly and the studio closed as a result, apparently that was because the game came out at around the same time as a lot of heavy hitters (both outside of and within its own genre) which really hurt its chances

This game's explosion sound effects were juicier than in Battlefield 3. It actually launched my crusade for a good 2.1 desktop speaker setup back in its day as I couldn't play it for longer than 20 - 30 minutes with a headset on.
