They removed the ability to see what displacement your engine has by toggling the stats on the view car screen for some reason. This is vital info when you're tuning. You can get it by looking at the engine swap upgrade to see what you currently have, just like you have to do to get tire widths. It's annoying.

Another tip, if you still use the FM4 tuning calculator you don't have access to the stats database like you did in FM4 that had things like torque, power, and redline RPM. You can get these in test drive though. Make a note of what your max power and max torque are, then go to test drive mode on le mans with no chicanes. at the beginning of the lap stay in 1st gear and drive to redline. note the speed you're traveling at redline and then go into telemetry mode. drive to that speed and look at the RPM number next to it. that's your redline RPM. Then drive up to the long straight. Don't stop, but slow down to about 30 and shift into whatever gear has a 1.000 ratio (usually 4th). Floor the accelerator and watch the HP and RPMs. When you reach your maximum HP look at the RPMs. That's your max power RPM. Slow down to 30 and do it again to get the max torque RPM.

the mods on forzamotorsport.net's forums are quite excited when they can delete threads and posts complaining about the game. so if you cant find anything there, thats likely because those threads are getting deleted.

Ugh what's with the camera positions in some of the cockpits? For instance, driving the Hellcat Challenger, I feel like an eight year old kid trying to look over the steering wheel. Seriously, the top of it is at eye-level. That doesn't seem accurate.

Edit: also, if anyone has done the Corvette Passing Showcase event, this will look immensely familiar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K89pMr2XnPA

aaaaaand that's it so far. I've been doing Rivals and racing in the League room, which is D-Class.

I'll end up with a bunch of BMW's but I'm trying to save some of that for later since I never ended up driving them in FM5 because I got the BMW affinity up so fast and then wanted to get other affinities up.

I love this car. Probably my most driven car in FH2. Used it in the first career segment.

It's the only car I've bought so far. I'm trying to load up on credits before I go look to see what I want.

I do think I'll do rivals on Sonoma with the gift cars and load up. I really, really like that track.
