Forza Motorsport 3

[Zeus33rd]

For Xbox 360. I'm sooo addicted to this one....Best racing game ever. Period. I even like it better than the Gran Turismo series on the PS3.

I've built a Corvette Z06 with almost 1000hp, I think I've got close to $1million into it. It's got so much power and is so light that I have to drive it with the traction control assist on...otherwise it does almost instant donuts. If I get on the gas coming out of a corner at anything other than the perfect moment, it spins out. It handles like a tank compared to some of the other cars in the game, but nothing is faster in a straight line. If I tweak the final drive and transmission gear ratio's, it'll do 208mph. If the game had a long enough straight away, I think it would go even faster.

Awesome game....anyone else play it? If you don't, get it. Right now.

[Zeus33rd]

There are certainly Mustangs, Camaro's and 'Vette's....As for classic muscle cars, I dunno? Never thought to check it out. lol

~edit~

I just Googled it, there are 400+ cars in the game.

Classic's included!

Ya know....


I just realized I put this in the wrong forum.

Would one of you mods move it to the lounge?

I don't know about you, but I'd have to run the 1973 Pontiac Firebird T/A SD455. Either that or the 1970 Challenger. I still have a PS2 and I have Gran Turismo 4 & 5 and I love 'em, but they just don't seem to have as many cars as Forza.

I play this **** every night.

I build my real life T/A dream chevelle, GNX, Florida highway patrol 5.0 fox body, twin turbo datsuns.

This game is the ****... end of story.

Is there an outrun the fuzz part on that game?

I really miss need 4 speed hot pursuit for that part of it, too bad in real life these days if you do outrun the fuzz fair and square, they show up at your house later on with a warrant.

Nothing even remotely like that with Forza. Strictly racing. It is to the Xbox 360 what Gran Turismo is to the PS/2/3. More a racing simulation...there is a season play mode, which is just like it sounds. You earn money by winning races. I just started season 4 and almost at driver level 35. The seasons are actually laid out on a calendar by days/weeks/months etc. Then there's threre's free play, hot lap etc. It's almost unbelievable how huge the game is. You won't be finishing this one in a day, or a month even. I think I'm only at something like 12%.
