I bought a new Xbox so I can actually play this thing, finally. The only cars I need off the list in the OP are the LF-A and the 69 Camaro SS. Could anyone help me out with those?

I'm really liking the handling so far, even if it is more difficult. The Musclecar Race is so much fun, but I swear it's impossible to complete a clean lap in it. And the 458 Rivals race is pissing me off. It's so hard to be clean and fast, I can run clean and be about half a second behind UNDERGROUNDSPAZ, or I can beat his time by like 4 seconds, but I get my right wheels into the runoff area on one of the corners and invalidate my lap. Not to mention when I get the inside line on a traffic car, who then gleefully sidesweeps me like I'm not even there.

Yeah, but the Eliminator could be had with the Boss 302 engine on the street, and at least it actually set foot on a Trans Am track. Even if it was less successful than the earlier Cougars. I'm pretty sure the Boss 429 never raced on a track that deviated from straight.

I was fortunate enough to have a goon gift me the LFA, despite not owning the Stig/Ultimate pack. My Amazon order is still listed as 'Shipping soon', but once I get it and do my FM3 import I'd be glad to gift it to someone in Forza 3.

Alright, someone was asking about install size earlier. With all the DLC, Disc 2 installed and a game install it weighs in at 11GB. 7.6 GB of that is the game install, so Disc 2 + DLC is right around 3.4GB.

The 69 Judge had a factory hood tach, so I don't think anything else in the game does. Though I wouldn't mind seeing an 80 Turbo Trans Am, just for the hood mounted boost gauge lights.

Apologies for those who had to race against my Fairlane Thunderbolt. It's setup for drag racing and won't turn for poo poo. But on the plus side you can sometimes pull wheelies coming out of corners, and I've been told it looks awesome when you get on the brakes.

Protip: If someone other than the person who put it up removes a car from the club garage, it apparently can't be re-added.

edit: It can, actually, but you have to restart Forza or it still thinks your car is shared.

Taking a vote, would the ka be better or worse if I actually made it driveable? I like that it levels the playing field for the most part by being a greased marble on a glass track but I think it could actually be useful / great at trolling if it wasn't so shittastic.

Assuming you mean the R3 version, in which case, it's hilarious fun as is. But it seems to be bordering on greatness. Make it just a little bit more driveable, just don't ruin how batshit insane it is.

Can you test drive other peoples cars out of the club garage? I put up a B500 Green, bumperless 65 Mustang with mostly handling upgrades. It understeers like an absolute pig though, unless you mash the throttle. So really, in that car you can choose to go off the corner rear end first or face first. Would love some advise on tweaking it

The drivetrain was straight out of the LH cars, so it actually has a rear-mounted transaxle, there was no manual to put in it. The Prowler was pure parts-bin engineering.

I think they wanted to make a cool open wheeled car that was fun to drive, but noticed what Ariel was doing and said "gently caress it, no way we can top that", and as a compromise built a midlife crisis chick magnet style car. All bark, no bite.

There isn't a :lol: big enough...

The Ariel Atom had exactly jack and poo poo to do with it. The Prowler was meant to evoke old hot rods like the 32 Ford Highboy or Plymouth Shovelnose. They built a car to appeal to the Boyd Coddington crowd as cheaply as they could, and managed to sell people a $60k LH car. Kinda of impressive really.

And they did it all with parts-bin engineering, that car was pure genius. There's a reason Chrysler had the largest cash reserves or any car company prior to the Daimler-Benz merger. If we hadn't let the Germans literally rob Chrysler blind, rape them, and leave the corpse burning in a ditch we'd probably have never needed to bail them out.

Besides the standard Forza aero, the only other bits the Fiero gets are stuff to make it look like a non-GT 88 Fiero. Spoiler delete, nose piece without the airdam (looks more like a Firebird).

If there's one thing I'd change, I wish they'd focus more on tracks for release. Adding tracks with DLC is a horrible idea, I remember being super pissed because it was virtually impossible to actually get multiplayer races on Road America with Forza 2. I'd gladly trade 10 cars at release for 3 tracks.

So, you're saying you don't understand how licenses work? Fair enough. EA has an exclusive Porsche license, they didn't want to let T10/MS use it for Forza. Not much they could do about it.


I mean it's not like Forza 4 is the only recent driving game to use Ruf in place of Porsche because EA wanted to be dicks about it.
