Burnout Paradise by far. Everything about it was so good. Except for DJ Atomica.

The one I played the most was Forza 2. At the time the feature set was amazing. Forza 4 is amazing but I havent put nearly as much time into it.
Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed gets an honorable mention. I usually not a fan of kart racers, but this game takes some serious skill and practice.

Split Second was a blast, I prefer arcade style racers.
I liked Burnout Paradise, but one of my first 360 games was Burnout Revenge, and it was sweeeeeeeeeeet.

4-way-tie between Blur, Burnout Paradise, Driver San Francisco and Wipeout HD. Each one of those was awesome in its own way.
Forza 4 was great too from the little I've played. GT5 and 6 have fun gameplay but I despise the menus so much that they make me not want to play them (though 6 is better in that regard)
Massively disappointed with everything Codemasters has put out expect maybe the DiRT games.

Excite Truck, underrated arcade racing. Good motion controls too. Lacks content, but the over the top gameplay is ace.

Burnout Paradise, easily. Large map, arcade racing, fantastic music, open world, fun challenges, etc. Easily the best driving *and fucking around while driving* multiplayer of the generation.

Hard to choose between FM2 and FM4.
FM4 was better in every way except T10 refused to put system link back in and they still haven't given a single reason as to why it was removed in the first place.
Had countless hours fun running system link races in FM2.

Will we ever get a true successor to Burnout Paradise?
NFS Most Wanted felt like an attempt, but too bad about that framerate.

Burnout Paradise
Closing in on 1,000 hours in that game and have loved every bit of it. Even though I've done everything there is to do (all achievements, all online challenges), I still have a blast online playing with and helping others. I also managed to get into the top 500 worldwide in ranked for a good while. Not only my favorite racing game of that gen but one of the favorite games period of that gen. Amazing game.

Mario Kart Wii, my favorite Mario Kart and my 2nd favorite racing game ever (first being F-Zero GX).
The thing is, I wasn't even a big Mario Kart fan before then, but the Wii version has amazing and imaginative tracks (love bouncing on those mushrooms and doing tricks), the high speed, and 32 tracks to spend my time in (as opposed to 16-20 like all old iterations besides MKS) really swayed me.
Next may be Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed. I didn't like the demo, but the game is actually really great and filled with variety.

I'm struggling to think of the ones I actually played, there didn't seem to be as much that caught my eye as in the gen previous to that one. PRG4 because it's one of the only ones that springs to mind I guess. Was a great game too. Pure was pretty cool too as that was the first game of the gen I played and even on an sdtv I was quite wowed by the graphics.
