I'd love to have an LSx e30. White looks really good.
I played Forza 3 for a bout a week and haven't picked the controller back up.  _________________

nice bmw...not my style though i like the later model m3s
yeah i bought the limited edition game is better then previous ones but still a huge disappointment...for these reasons.....
- the game is SOOOO BIASED to AWD and FWD...RWD gets no traction even on drag radials...
-AWD in the acceleration bar always get near full or full
-pretty much only the asian cars get body kits
-rims are all pretty much same ones from before...90% of them are garabge
besides that its a great game... |

Buh? You people need to learn how to drive or stop racing silly drags, or something.
Before my level 50 saved game got corrupted I was throwing down almost exclusively in RWD cars. Particularly the second-gen Z28, and black IROC.  |

| im not saying i cant drive them...but its more of a challenge...they really made the game more towards awd and fwd...you and i both no that rwd does not get that bad of traction and awd does not get that good of traction...they said its oppose to be the most realistically sim car racing game ever...i beg to differ they are far from real and they have a lot yet to still learn |

they didnt say it was supposed to be like the real thing. Only that it is less fake than the rest of the games out there.
that might help you some, substitute "less fake" for "most realistic" _________________ Killing mailboxes since 2009 |

Is traction all you're worried about? You've just been playing the drag races, and not the real game, huh? The drag race mode is such a half-assed add on it's practically broken.
The FWD cars understeer and dive pretty realistically IMO. AWD cars kill it off the line, but have under/over issues in the corners. The best setup is (as usual) a mid/rear or well-balanced front/rear.
I still think the funnest car to drive right out of the box (no mods or tune) is the second gen Z. |

I just drove a Mustang for the first time on Forza 3 last night, and it had better traction than the other RWDs I've tried so far. But still...how come the NPCs are allowed a perfect launch every time? I've done drag once on there and was dissappointed. No setting up, no warming the tires...bleh.
On a visual stand point and better physics/simulation engine, they deserve an applaud. Still needs work. That and I want a Grand Prix in the next installment!
There's more fast American cars out there, they need to stop being so biased towards the Asians and Europeans.
Anywho...I'm going to go play it now. |

traction isnt a isshue for me i just pedal it, i run with TCS off when i drag and im putting down 10.9's in my Iroc with a 800HP motor, stock suspention and stock tranny.
i have been playing the forza series sence the first one came out so i kinda know the tricks to traction problems.  _________________ ****______****

I know they say it is, but they are comparing it to other games. Its like saying the biggest loser is skinny. No he's not skinny he is just less fat than the rest. This game is still a game. It may be the most realistic, (that is not a complete sentence, it should read the most realistic game see we need a subject) but that is like calling a turd the next best thing to a three course meal. Ok so this turd has more bits of corn in it but its still...well you see. _________________ Killing mailboxes since 2009 |

I have TCS off as well, and played since the first installment.
After hours of continuous drag racing today, I've almost achieved a "perfect" launch. Using the GTA, slicks, race suspension & chassis, race transmission, 650hp. Is 11.98 good for all that? Or am I sucking at something?
Still though, I was doing the 250hp drag racing and had traction issues WITH the slicks...that can't be right. |

didn't mean for it to sound that way sorry. Was thinking more about them when they sent out the press releases. They tout it, and all games for that matter as being the most realistic out there. Microsoft Flight simulator has the slogan "as real as it gets" well no it isn't as real as it gets. The military spends millions on full motion simulators that still fall short so a 40.00 game is not as real as it gets.
Forza is the same deal, the most realistic. Fine but thats in comparison to previous games, thats why the grammar is important. It establishes what they are talking about, while still being misleading enough to sell copies. This game is evidently slanted somewhat towards the ricers in the respect that apparently the Japanese and European cars seem to have more of an advantage than is realistic, while at the same time front engine rear wheel drive cars, predominantly this would be american cars have traction and handling problems that are not very realistic.
The point.
Keep in mind that they are bragging about it being the most realistic only in comparison to other games. They are not saying its realistic compared to real life. Meaning it may be the best out there and still be well short of perfect. YOUR grammar is not at issue. The language in the marketing campaign is. _________________ Killing mailboxes since 2009 |

im aware they said that its the most realistic game ever...but they're are more realistic ones imo on the pc...there entire ad campaign for that game was a bunch of false advertisement...ive even heard ppl are trying to sue them due to the fact that in the trailer there is a dodge challenger srt-8 lifting the front tires off the ground at lunch on the drag strip but no one has been able to replicate it in the game...the game really is focused more towards European and Asian cars...i will say the graphics in the game are awesome...and it is a lot easier to play then the previous forzas...and yes you can drive the RWD cars...but in comparison to the AWD and FWD the RWD are the most unrealistic of the platforms in the game...the AWD do have lots of understeer and the FWD due get tq steer they did great on those...but the RWD its like your almost always driving on ice or oil...they need to work on the new engine they built for the game that is oppose to calculate tire pressure balance and sidewall flex...and weight balance of the car etc etc...because from what i can tell it seams like the problem is...they made the FWD first and used that to make the RWD...its like the weight never gets transferred properly to the rear wheels...car just stays flat and tires spin like crazy...another thing...a 900hp AWD datsun being fastest car in game...thats just ridicules... |

BTW, I don't think it's been said what with all the arguing, but that's a pretty nice looking (rwd) Beemer, Jason. |

Maybe they will get enough complaints and attempted lawsuits and come out with an update for the game with the proper variables for RWD?
I didn't know they had that BMW...almost level 50 and I have no idea what cars are in the game. Call me biased, or proud, but I've only bought cars from GM, Dodge, and Ford. Haven't touched the ones I've won. Except that Lamborghini that looks like an F/A-18 Hornet. Oh, and the Veyron.
Wait! That Datsun is faster than the Veyron?! |
