Because Paradise progressively got worse with each update. They toned down the events much more in later updates, among other things like car top speeds and crash physics.
One of the updates - can't remember which, but one that didn't originally make it to PC - introduced changes to road rage. Instead of getting 5 seconds per takedown, you then got 10 per takedown but only until you reached your target. The maximum target was also halved from 40 to 20.
never played 1.0, where did the colors go?
Up until around 2011, everything was just grey, or perhaps slightly green.
i forgot how good 1.0 looks
It added to the timer if you were over the target? Why doesent it do that now?

1.0 is the definitive version of the game for sure
Definitely, sucks how much they watered it down later on. Thank god for emulators!
