When GT5 hits the market Forza 4 will be out...

I have been waiting for that one too long, and am enjoying just playing F3.

You can tune the 944T in the game to kick butt on most supercars...R8, Ford GT, Lambos, Vettes, Vipers, etc.

I actually tuned it to match as close to my 944 as possible, same weight, tires,spring rate, alignment, swaybars, brakes. Just couldn't detune the HP.

I've got the whole big screen, surround sound and driving seat/wheel setup. I wanted to make it a useful simulator for Laguna Seca practice, and it feels pretty close. I had to increase the gear ratios alot, the game is way low. Forza's about a 1:40 car, in reality I do about 1:55. So minus the turbo and HP, pretty close.

O ok well nice man, one thing i gotta say though about your track times is not to rely much, if at all on the in-game track serving as a practice tool, and don't even try to match the track times because the Laguna Seca in Forza is VERY poorly done, i mean its dimensions are so off its not even funny.

Now, at least comparing that to Iracing's laser scanned tracks, im not surprised one bit your times irl are different than to Forza's fail track. Yes i play Forza, yes i love the game, but their work they did on the Laguna could be better, and if anything they could get the corkscrew right.

Seriously! That games release date keeps getting pushed. I'm going to buy a PS3 just so I can play the game.

My son and I played with the graphics before I got the racecar done.

I am a long-time fan of GTR2, a PC game that has a large following, including downloadable tracks (nogripracing.com). Compared to GTR2, Forza 3 is still very much an arcade experience. The dynamics are a little bit cartoon-ish with lurid powerslides that rarely turn into spins, and you can bang a wall at 180MPH and suffer no adverse effects (other than cosmetic). Even the tuning function (suspension, engine, aero) is less realistic than GTR2.

I am surprised at how much I enjoy the graphics program. It took a while to get into it, but I'm having fun.

Yesterday I had my first online, multiplayer racing experience. It was fun, embarrassing and frankly creepy. One race involved an Australian guy who cursed like a drunken sailor and who had been awake for 3 days straight playing the game. I had to send the kids out of the room!

I wish they would make a new Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed. The older game was pretty cool but the graphics sucked. I just want a game for the PS3 that has a 944
