do these games accurately represent the driving of a 944? so is it completely like driving a 944 on a track in terms of handling and braking and other characteristics????

As some one else already pointed out, I think they have generic models for different suspension types/weight/power and then just adjust it to be "different" from the other cars. For console games they are pretty damn good, GT and Forza are probably the best console games out there, but I still find them to be a bit "arcadeish" but still extremely good and fun none the less.

If your looking for a realistic game, then you should try GTR Evolution http://www.gtr-evolution.com/ This is much more a simulation rather then just a game. Far less cars, but much more focused on driving dynamics. GT5 is amazing, but this game is far more realistic, and if you put it with Logitech G25 (I think the new one is the G27) wheel (has a clutch, 6 speed shifter/paddel shift, real leather wheel) and you have one helluva racing simulation.

So now we have to wait till 2011 for this freekin game... damn, how many more times can I play the prologue?

Can you not get a steering wheel and all that for the Xbox 360 or does that stuff only work on GT series games? If GT has all these Porsche I may have to buy it.

the way it looks forza will be on number 4 before gt has number 5 out.

i challenge you people to figure out which porsche's are missing from that list. not just 87 vs. 88 951. only one i really see is 953.

The Forza 3 model of the 944 Turbo (a Euro '89 Turbo) is pretty sound. I used it to establish how wide my front tires should be, and I found it quite believable. It isn't a simulator, but with a wheel (which I think is required for any of these games) it is realistic enough to really get me involved in the racing.

The 944 S2 isn't there. I guess it got left out because of the similarity to the 968, but I think it's an important 944. I don't see a 73 2.8L RSR either, I also don't see the Boxster Spyder (maybe to new?) There isn't a 964 RS America, or 964 RS, hmm... what else... There are other variations missing, but those seem to be important models.

well the '89 has 247hp the game only has 217hp which is wrong and so it's in the wrong class.

I gave up and bought an Xbox and Forza.

...three years ago.

That said, I loved GT4. Will mixed surface rally be in the mix this time?
