I don't think there's an FG (I'm not 100%) but new cars will be available for download periodically.

I loved that game!

Yes. In the 'engine upgrade' section, you can pick different new motors. Some are pretty lame, though, for example you can put an F20c in your EP3 & it becomes RWD. A K24a2 makes the car AWD, etc.

On the other hand, swapping an RB26 into a 350z is, though kind of esoteric, cool.

I was doing a race & this TVR rammed me off the road & ****** my car up, so I decided to go against traffic & cause a little mayhem.







domestic drivers, heh

See, that's why the cow is famous... he knows how to play games right.

I still need to figure out how to load up pics off of the xbox so I can post a few cars. I figured all I have to do is not show the roofs of 2 cars and they won't be that offensive. lol.

LAWL. I'd only do that in single player.

As for the pictures, when you take a shot & save it, you're asked whether you want to send the photo to http://forzamotorsport.net/, where you log in using your live profile name & password. All the photos you've sent are there. From there, copy them to the computer & then host them.

I'm using the wheel and I absolutely LOVE it. I've been a huge fan of sim racers for a while now, but this is my first time using a wheel. There is a HUGE difference between using the wheel or a controller.

If anyone plans on getting a wheel for this game, be SURE to get the official Microsoft Wireless Racing Wheel. The force feedback is great, and the wheel was basically created with Forza in mind the whole time...it's also the wheel that Turn 10 made the game to work best with.

Gonzo made "a bad move."






Mine is the Burgundy Cayman S. Great car (when it isn't torn to ribbons)

I wish I had hit the start button a moment earlier, the cars were nearly vertical.

I played Forza 2 on Sat...

If only the graphics were as good as they are on GT HD for the PS3... :)

Forza one you are gonna have to capture them directly from your video out.

Forza 2 allows you to enter a photo mode, setup your shot, save them to your 360, then upload 5 photos at a time (as far as I know) onto their website where you can download them onto your pc.

It does make wonder. If GTHD's graphics are so good why did they have to steal a screen shot from PGR3?

In all seriousness though, GTHD does look fantastic. However I imagine if the 360 only had to push an engine that the (now) puny PS2 processor could handle, it's graphics would probably look just as good.

GTHD gets a 10 for graphics and a 0 for innovation.

The real question is how will GT 5 look.

Hey moderators/thread author, we need to get a list of people playing this game, and what time they usually play at the head of the thread.

My XBOX live nick is Freq17hz

I play evenings mostly, and I host my own servers often.

Come join me! I've got a B class integra-r that needs some decent competition.

Not on xbox live yet... but this game is the shizzy.

An 8thcivic.com club would also be slick.

All hondas, all day long baby. I love it. I got the VIS Racing ITR, all motor over 400 hp. The Mugen S2K all motor over 500 hp= afternoon delight.

It would be pretty awesome if 8thicivic.com members only used hondas in races against other clubs.

Nissan Speedway = lame

takes ZERO skill. It just shows who has the fastest top speed.

It takes at least 2% skill to hold the higher HP cars on the track & draft around a not quite as fast car.
