How does this game compare to Burnout (I don't have Burnout)?  Is it
worth buying? Is it a sim or more of an arcade game?

Both NHRA Drag Racing and Burnout PCE are very good at what they are
designed for.  NHRA Drag Racing is a "Top Fuel" and Funny Car sim.  Driving
these cars are very hard to get use to, but once masters you'll have a great
time.  The problem I have with it is that at this time there is no
networking support.  Infect a famous NHRA funny car driver (who races
Burnout PCE online) said he uses NHRA to practice.  He also said it is very
close to the real thing.

Burnout PCE is more of a sportsman class drag racing sim.  It is also much
easier to control the cars.

I enjoy both sims, but use PCE more cause it has online support.

NHRA has a serious bug ... no variable control for gas or brakes ... and
I seriously doubt that it will ever be patched. Based on Tantrum's tech
support to date, NHRA was a take the money and run project.

Bugs aside, NHRA is entertaining for about an hour until you get a
reasonable setup and then it gets boring real quick. If I could have my
money back, I would spend it elsewhere. It would take one heck of a demo
before I bought another Tantrum product.

DO NOT, I repeat ***DO NOT*** buy this game. It sucks. It is the most
pitiful excuse for a game that I have ever seen. You will tire of it
in about 30 minutes. Versus Burnout? There is NO comparison. Burnout
makes NHRA look like Pong....except that Pong is more fun and keeps
your interest longer.

Does that answer your question?

I have both, played NHRA for no more than one day before getting bored with
it. Still Play Burnbout and it has been over 10 months since it has been
released.
Better game? That is all user preference, but I prefer Burnout.
