So I got Forza 3 last week and its pretty AWESOME! Currently I'm hooked on the Foxbody Cobra, got it painted a really dark blue with blacked out rims, Its my Ferarri eater.

Who else has it/plays it? Whats your favorite car?
 
i have it also. my favorite is my 07 gt500 awd conversion. it is my drift monster

I got it the day it came out. I haven't raced online much - played in a few races where guys crashed me out. So I've been mostly doing the single player. I have every achievement except the one you get for getting a gold medal in every event of season mode. That achievement requires a TON of play time, but I'm about 3/4 of the way there.

It's tough to choose just one favorite car. I really like the FXX though. Great power, great handling, great braking.
I also love my Knight Rider Trans Am. I have it so hooked up it's now a Class S car, and it has no business being there. I can hardly keep it on the track - it's just raw power and the handling and braking are awful.
I'm trying to find a good combo of mods and tuning for it.
A black 80's era TA is my real life dream car.

Now for a little smack-talk (all in good fun).
There's no way your Foxbody 'Stang eats Ferraris! Unless you have every performance mod bolted on and you're racing a stock Dino on easy difficulty and with every driving assist on. :D In a game with hundreds of REAL performance cars, the 'Stangs gets it's ass handed to it every time.
There's this little thing called TURNING that's a pretty handy feature to have when running a road course. Too bad Ford can't be bothered incorporating some HANDLING into the Mustang - of any year. Even the Saleen/Rousch 'Stangs hardly overcome the craptastic lack of handling.
So unless it's a drag race - which a Ferrari is too high-class to stoop to, I'll eat your 'Stang with any car from Italy! :D

It does... Its only an A class car with modest modding and it does some good butt kicking. In the A class races against ferarri's and corvettes It pwns! And I am on hard difficulty with TCS,STM,ABS, and braking only lines while in cockpit view. :icon_thumby:

Yeah... the turning is what gets me down too... lol I put mostly engine mods on it and completely forgot about tires and brakes. I can get around them but they are like hitting me all the time, on the straight streches though its like I'm passing stopped cars on the highway!:D

So far my only complaint about the game seems to be that the freaking taillights bust out with any sort of tap.

It's cool, my previous comment was just meant as a shot against the Mustangs poor handling.

A lot of it has to do with the skill of the driver, though. You must be good at working with what you have, so I'm sure you're pretty fast with that car.

Usually when I buy a car, one of the first things I look at is the handling numbers. If it's low compared to other cars in it's class, the firsts thing I do is lower it, upgrade the brakes, improve the tire compound, and reduce weight. Personally, I'd rather sacrifice a little speed on the straights to be able to take the turns better without sliding or having to scrub off too much speed.

But that's the great thing about the game. The cars can be modded and tuned to suit personal preferences. :headbang:

I tried to add you to my friends list, but it says that "Robottank1" is an invalid tag. So I tried "Robot Tank1" and the request went through. I hope that's you.

After every race, instead of going to "Continue", I go to "Leaderboards", press X a couple times, and it will compare my time to the times of the guys on my friends list. It's a good way to see how I'm doing compared to friends.

Hah yeah I know you were just jokin. I've had thoughts about taking of the traction control and stability control and seeing how easy it would be to drift the corners but then i was like I suck at drifting. :icon_twisted:

Yeah usually i try and balance between performance and handling, My renault is a pretty good example of that its fast and still corners better then most in its class. My first thing is to put lightweight wheels and better rubbers on then i go to things like wings/body then brakes and roll bars.

Yeah This is like the coolest racing game ever, I still like my need for speed most wanted but I love being able to make my own personal car.

Cool next time i'm on I'll add you, I didn't know you could even do that...
 
I KNOW IM PATHETIC, im 27 and new to video games..lol this game for ps3??? it sounds cool
 
It's actually for XBOX360.

I have a Fox body Cobra as well with the NASCAR engine and all the mods for that. As well as all the suspension mods and body mods. It's and R class car now but it is nowhere near competitive in that class cause it WON'T turn. I need to play with other engine combos to see if I can actually get on the gas before 3rd gear without blowing the tires away.

Also have an 02 T/A thats upgraded to R class. That fares much better in the turns but needs some more power.
 
This is SWEET!

I was just about to make a post stating that I wish we could post pictures of our cars. Kind of like Halo 3 where you can go to the Bungie site and view your photos. Then I thought to check and see if you could actually do it with Forza - and you can!

Go here: http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/default.htm

Click on "My Forza", then enter your Gamertag. There's your pics!!
I don't think you an view them full size unless you download them. I just downloaded them then uploaded them to Photobucket.

Here's a few of mine:

Ferrari F-355:

My patriotic Chrysler 300:

Notice the subtle Autobot logo on the door....

Lets see some cars!!
 
I preordered the LCE, got it the day it can out and just got a racing wheel 2 days ago for my birthday:headbang: I'm a drifter and a dragracer, just how I roll. I got a '10 Camaro that eats Macleran F1's in the 1/4 mile. Jay.. I'm guessing your pics were taken on La Sarthe and Maple Valley? Yeah I'm a Forza guy since number 1

Pics:D

Nice pics Mike! Where's your custom paint jobs and decals, though?:D

Let me know how you like the wheel, I've been thinking about getting one.
What is the LCE?

And happy birthday!

I'll have to get my other pics uploaded and take some more.

Thanks Jay. I really like the wheel so far, I just need a better way to put it in front of me. The wobbly TV tray just isn't cutting it:icon_rofl:

The LCE is the collectors edition, few more cars and a little crown beside my name in the game and on the Forza forums. I have some paint jobs, you'll see them when I race, mostly my drag cars. All done up with my name on the quarterpanel and everything:D.

I like taking Forza pics, little hobbyof mine. To be honest most of my paint jobs are actually police car packages, I used to make a lot of them in Forza 2 and one of the guys I made one for wants me to make him another for Forxa 3.
