This game is great! You can get over 230 different cars! I got a few diferent mustangs, including the 2005 gt and a special steeda race edition....sweet, every1 needs to try it!....for xbox only

 

Is it better than GT4?

 

so far...it's like gt4, but only on xbox...I had always liked the gt games, but never had a ps2...so thats y I got this...its the closest thing to real life

 

i heard from someone that you actually take damage in Forza. is that true? cuz that would be sick!

 

yea u can...i can't get off it! i topped it (05 mustang gt) out around 157 mph at the nascar track

 

Yeah the damage part is pretty cool, and it will show you what is damaged, sometimes a wreck can mess up your alignment causing the car to drift one direction or the other without touching the steering wheel. I will try to upload some screenshots and video from actual gameplay if I get a chance.

Mustangs included: 1970 Boss 429, 2005 GT, 2000 Cobra R, 2000 Saleen S281, 1968 GT500KR, and 2004 Tiger Racing Mustang

 

For those that have played GT4 and Forza, any pros/cons on the comparison(s) between the games?

 

not really...I am so into forza right now though....I ran the 05 mustang gt at the quarter and it did 13 seconds

 

How did you do that, is there a quarter mile track somewhere? I must of missed that.

 

free run - point to point - and at the end, there is a qu. mile track

 

can you get upgrades for your stang in forza?

 

Yeah, just found it thanks. My '05 Mustang GT put in a 10.984, although it's significantly modified. Took a stock one out to see what it put up and it ran a 13.444. Pretty accurate.

 

Yes, my '05 Mustang GT is running at 500 hp and 469 ft-lbs of torque. For some reason it won't let you do certain mods to certain cars, haven't figured that out yet. I have also upgraded the suspension, transmission, clutch, tires, differential, also have the cars weight down below 3k. It will even let you tint the windows.

You can even swap out an entire engine, but this is one of the mods it won't let you do the '05 Mustang GT. I put in the GT engine (the supercar's, not the V8 Mustang's) in a 1970 Boss 429, further modded the engine, I have it over 700 hp.

 

man how did u get so far so quick?

 

lol, I don't know, just picked it up on Friday. I think I am at level 26 or so. The key is that on the early races there are very few restrictions on your car, so just upgrade the heck out of it so that the races are no contests. Sell off the crappy cars that they give you and you have no use for. Find the good cars that can be used for several different events, the 350Z Track is a great car, I have used it on the 300hp and below event, then I did some engine mods to bump it up to about 395 and then I ran it in the 400 hp and below, the thing handles great, especially after putting on the best tires and suspension.

 

on GT4, my stock Mustang ran mid 14's...

 

In forza does your tires wear down over use like in gt4? GT3 did it but not near the extreme as in GT4.

 

Yes, on the longer races, you have to pit change your tires and refuel.

quick money making tip:

buy a vw jetta, go to buy upgrades, go to the motor section, buy all the upgrades for each section in the motor upgrades, then buy the new motor, then re-install the old motor, and sell the new one for 45,000.00 then rebuy the new motor (for 2500 bucks or so), re-install the old motor and sell the new one again for 45,000.00, repeat as needed to make crazy money!



enjoy!!
