Forza 3 game night - part 2

You bastard.

 

[Kabob]

So, what are we driving?

 

[vshah]

i changed my mind, exotics are too hard to come up with competitive requirements for.

so i'll keep it simple (and cheap)

C class sedans, no engine, drivetrain, or aspiration swaps.

I have a feeling it's going to be an Sti-EVo fest.

Don't forget the GM muscle sedans (G8, CTS, etc). Probly some Bimmers, Audi's, MB's as well

Yeah but I have a feeling they won't hold a candle to the evo/sti. I may be wrong.

 

[fbrdphreak]

On the short tracks, the RWD ones won't. Too heavy with too much power to pull out of the turns. On the tracks with long straights, they will walk away though.

The Audi's may have the best of both: Quattro + power.

 

[vshah]

yup, lots of different ways one could go. I'll probably make 2 cars since it is relatively cheap.

Sometimes, when the AI is in my way, I'm not exactly forgiving:

I was thinking of trying a Bimmer...but are there any good sedans?

I saw an E92 M3 on the road yesterday and felt inspired...so sharp lookin'.

And this morning I parked right down the way from an Audi R8 (4.2 D, it made the Subie feel like an inferior AWD vehicle.

 

[vshah]

i think all the <C class BMWs are coupes

So we can pick a D class sedan and make it C class?

For some reason I thought we could only choose in C class?

I'm not sure where you got that. He said C class sedans, nothing about "must start at C class" or anything.

 

[vshah]

yup, upgrading to C class is fine, as long as there are no swaps.

 

[ivan2]

sedan means 4 doors right?

 

[overst33r]

yep

 

[ivan2]

is evo 6 GSR a sedan?

 

[fbrdphreak]

Yes indeed

 

[Kabob]

Tried a few cars/tunes last night, started with a G8 GXP. That thing has some decent power but has the agility of an elephant. I was kinda fun but it feels more like ice skating around a track than racing. Also tried an S4 that works pretty well. I thought about making a Taurus SHO but didn't try.

I should be good to go for tonight.

I found the G8 to be overly tail happy. S4/CTS-V/Lotus/Charger for me. And an Sti just in case I start losing :sneaky:

I'm running a Lexus IS and an STi for the shorter courses. I didn't have much time to dial them in since I'm still getting settled into the new apartment. It's nice to get back to racing.
