Hrm, I wonder if Queasy still checks on this thread...I sure miss him. Hrm, guess there's an easy way to check.

Queasy is a fruitcake!!! (waits for retort).

Well, it's close to what we're driving (Cup 240 vs 260), still, I agree. It's a toy. My buddy looked at a Lotus Exige before he bought his Viper and said it was the most uncomfortable thing to drive, just getting in and out of it. Heck, it's got an unusable rear view mirror (since your engine is in the way...) just to pass state laws.

Guys I will definitely not be there this week, sorry.

I spent all of yesterday working on down computer systems so I am way behind. Also with all the snow VA got (this state sucks when it comes to snow removal) I lost this past weekend as well.

Will shoot for next week.

im getting a little sick of tuning that gallardo actually, i could never get the 4WD version quite right, the RWD one was very easy to tune and run.

i should spend more time racing lotus in public rooms.

Hey all I will make every attempt to be there tomorrow. I might have a quick cheap tune, but I'll try to be there. I had to buy a second xbox because my original elite died (with 2 months left on warranty, woot!)

That's because AWD < RWD (coming from an AWD car owner).

Not in Buffalo NY. We had to push my cousin's RWD beamer out of snow a few times while he was here.. lol. Meanwhile, my AWD Impreza has been a dream to drive through the Buffalo snow for past 10 years.

If you need a tune just get it from the storefront, the #1 most downloaded B class Exige 240 works very well.

Hope to see you there!!

I've got an Impreza WRX. It's fun and yeah for incliment weather it's nice but we're talking about performance cars here, for performance I greatly prefer RWD. You're not taking your AWD Lamborghini out in the snow as it is.

I jumped on last night & did just that. Ran a couple hot laps at Rd At & it's pretty good. Couldn't resist after that little bit and went over to career. Bought the pontiac gxp for the long lap c series & the goofy game took it off the list of choices. Ended up doing a north america c series instead. Finally got my first A class freebie car & now the A class weekend races are starting next.

Yeah, the free car progression works pretty well with what's coming up...until you hit 30 or so and the rest of the cars are all race cars.

I know and I agree, I love driving the RWD Supra in Forza and GT....gosh, still my dream car.

I have a 01 2.5rs....I love that thing. Of course, I have a car in forza that looks just like my real life car...hahaha.

I have a bugeye '02 WRX, they've got the '04 STi in-game with the updated headlights. Honestly I think it looks better but I can't complain, it's close enough.

If I'm I may join in, I get the feeling the wife won't let me though.

Yeah, I figure that as a whole RWD rooms will be nice (simply because lots of the angry 12 year olds demand AWD).

My console is on its way back. Looks like it's coming from memphis which appears that it'll be a replacement rather than a repair. Hopefully I get one with decent cooling so it lasts a while.
