It's not a pure arcade port though since some elements come from Revo (The car's I think are from Revo rather than those featured on the arcade cabinet). Glad I bought it when I did last summer since I enjoyed it.
If that and Outrun Online Arcade are any indication, people should buy Daytona USA if they have any interest in it before it's too late. Their license with the International Speedway Corporation for the Daytona USA trademark isn't going to run forever and when it expires, it goes just like those two games did when their automobile licenses expire.
I'd help you out if I could but I bought it for the Xbox 360. I briefly asked around a few times hoping to trade some games for the PS3 version since I didn't want a version of Outrun to go unplayed by me. But I didn't have any luck and PSN points cards that could've allowed me to just purchase it with my UK account by importing one arrived too late to market.
If you don't already have it, Coast 2 Coast on the Xbox or Playstation 2 is the better deal anyways. A lot more tracks, better performance, and a lot more content in general. Only thing OOA had to offer was HD (At the expense of some significant frame rate drops and some other issues from what appeared to be a rush job), a few animations that had been absent in earlier ports, and now it's the only version of the Outrun 2 family with online leaderboards and multiplayer still going (On the 360 at least, I wouldn't be shocked if the servers have been pulled for the PS3 release... only matters anyways at this point for the leaderboards since multiplayer has been a ghost town for years).
If classic arcade releases count, Sega has released a arcade emulation of Super Hang-On on PSN (Far superior to the Genesis version and one of the best 2D sprite scaling arcade racer's of all time). And the Data East classic Bump 'n' Jump is available as a compatible PSP Mini from G-Mode/G1M2 under the alternate and lesser known name of Burnin' Rubber.
Both are worthy downloads in my opinion.
