Forza 3 game night - part 2

[SID3W8Z]

So suspension, tire, weight removal mods on a bunch of FF four-bangers eh. Should be fun, a go-kart race!!

Engine Mods are ok as long as it stays "D350" or less.

 

[Kabob]

Well, I meant no Drive Train Swaps (has to be FF), we'll leave all other mods Open.

Ahh, you said stock engine config, I figured you meant no mods.

Sounds good.

mor1san will be happy to be driving his real life car...

i'd be too but i have a 4door Si, not the coupe

should be fun!


i'm curious...how many of you have your real life car available in the game? probably would be tough to equalize but if i can think of a way i might do that next time its my pick...

 

[Kabob]

I have a 4 door...LX. Yay 115 HP! Thankfully the WRX give us some umph.

Cool idea.

My car is in my sig. I made a replica in Forza, it's pretty fun even at C-class. If you don't mod the suspension it's pretty realistic too - understeeeeeeeerrrrrrr :awe:

We've talked about this several times in the past but never treid it. Lots of people with pickup trucks or cars not in-game.

A thought: what if we got a list of people's cars that ARE in the game and everyone picks from those? Could be fun depending how the list turns out

Or if they have a pickup, they get to drive the Ram SRT10 :twisted:

I used to have a Rex... LOVED that car! It was stock for all of 1 week when I bought it ...

 

[Hopeless]

I changed the pick order a bit since fbrd isn't able to pick this week and sid3 is I just moved everyone back a week.

 

[m0r1san]

YES!!! I got a 2003 RSX-S. Basically a 2002 Integra Type-R with the mods I've done to it :awe:

Good choice sid3w8z!!

And yes, race w/ our real cars sounds like it could be a fun time.

 

[fbrdphreak]

Soooo, I might have to pick up a used PS3 Slim & GT5 at some point...

I'm sure I'll get it when it comes out, but I'll still play Forza more... especially since the Xbox is at my computer desk (sharing my PC monitor)... and everyone else in the family uses the PS3 for a video server.

 

[fbrdphreak]

Yeah I'm figuring the PS3 will become the movie/GT5 box, the 360 for gaming & Netflix, and a 360 in the bedroom for Netflix & movies. Too many? Hahaha

 

[SID3W8Z]

The PS3 is doing Netflix too... funny thing is, I don't use the Xbox for Netflix. I use the PC instead (which goes out to my Dac and Tube amp to my headphones). I'm thinking of getting a Roku for the kids though, since my son and daughter got HDTVs for X-Mas.

 

[Kabob]

Yeah, GT5 does look pretty amazing.

 

[foghorn67]

Well the closest thing to my cars is the SVT Focus. And the Shelby Mustang. But my Mustang ain't no Shelby. However, it has a ton of the same characteristics. Easy to steer with the throttle, wonky on center steering feel, shift points are almost the same, front end rises like a boat when flooring it, gets squirrelly on the 2-3 shift.

Ok people I'm back. All moved into the new apt and with a brand new 42" LG to play on. i just could not play on the 19" CRT I got left with during the breakup. BTW you will all be huffing the exhaust of my 420HP WRX in the race your IRL car challenge!!!

 

[vshah]

had an idea for the real life car...If we get 7 or 8 people, we could do multi-class such that people with slower cars could race in D or E class, while those with faster cars could be in B class or something

Dang, 420hp? Must be a beast! Got pics anywhere? I think mine was only about 280hp. I have to race an SUV or a Minivan lol.

 

[fbrdphreak]

So I'm a dumbass. My family isn't coming down until this Friday, so I'm as free as usual (which means something could come up) this Thursday. I'll try to join the rice fest!

Ah crap I did.


Quik good to see your back. Do you want the pick for 6/30?

 

[SID3W8Z]

In case your interested, the 2007 Honda Civic Type-R is also available for use tonight, same restrictions.

 

[SID3W8Z]

Good racing with you guys tonight. Hopefully I can move up to the middle of the pack one of these days... but it's all good.
