Funny part is having my car represented in a racing game, once again. ;-) And they did it right this time! Yes, 4-cylinders are very capable of having 700HP, especially DSMs (if you don't know that that is, Google "Diamond Star Motors").

I own a 1998 Eagle Talon TSi. Fun stuff. Upgrade that all the way to R3 (Chrysler). Mine is light silver. It is almost like driving mine when you're in the cockpit. Only sad part is it only boosts like 23 psi in the game. I push about 28-31 psi on my real Talon. Fun burning all 4 tires loose.

The real kicker is they put so much realistic detail into this game is that the gauge cluster is ACTUALLY the gauge cluster of the cars (the 1995 Mitsubishi GSX and 1998 Eagle Talon TSi are basically the same car with different body styles). The gauge clusters are accurate. I can take a picture of my 98 Talon and post it. It really kind of blew me away. The only weird thing is they are identical cars though the performance is a tad different when you buy them stock. That makes me scratch my head.

Awesome game, though. VERY realistic. Probably the most realistic driving game I've played.

And with it upgraded, it does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, 0-100 in 6.1 seconds, and maxes out at 226 mph.

My Focus is very similar at this point 0-60 2.5ish 0-100 5.2 max speed is 189 however if I tweaked it to take some of the acceleration away I could improve that.

I had probably one of the more gratifying moments in forza tonight, I was racing online in an S Class lobby since my Focus is now S Class and I switched to my car and basically everyone in the room busted out laughing at once that I was bringing a focus to race against Vipers, Ferrari's and a Lamborghini. They figured they'd blow my doors off and between my superior handling and high acceleration I basically smoked them all and one by about 3 seconds. I guess that'll teach them to mock my Orange Crusher (my nickname for it. It's got the same paint scheme posted above only now it has a broncos logo on the hood and says denver broncos on the side.)

I love the game too. I bought the Z06 early and it is a beast. Just like last year, it has to be one of the most versatile cars in the game. I tricked it out and it eats people alive. I have a Revention and a Veyron and they sit on the shelf. My vette goes 0-60 @3.1 and tops out at 215. Still haven't played on xbox live yet. Let me ask you guys, is there a rule in xbox live Forza that keep ppl from smacking you put of a corner? I think that is a loser move. Thanks. By the way Batman Arkham Asylum is the best game I've played all year I think.

No but I've found it only happens once in awhile, most people will race you clean as long as you race them clean. I've been racing online a lot lately in the A class circuit room.

Well that is no consolidation to me bc by what you say there is no "rule" that says when you have the corner (or line) they can't smash you out of it, which says that when it's the last lap and the chips are down, they can. This would call for a DQ in the real world so you saved me a lot of anxiety. I hate it when gamers do a *itch move so by your response, you saved me a lot of time. Thanks. Btw. The Quarters D is a cowards move too. You know who you are!!!

I don't have a lot of problems with aggressiveness. Normally the idiots wreck on the first lap in the first turn and never get back to you because the ones that race dirty all suck so bad that they can't keep it on the track anyways. My car has so much acceleration in it no one normally seems to be able to get near me on the first lap and by the time someone catches me it's normally someone who will show me enough respect to pass me cleanly (it helps that when I realize someone is faster I tend to give them enough room to pass instead of crowding them which I think is when people tend to wreck anyways)

Just got the game yesterday... Just started playin right after the game, so far so good

Nicely done! It is a great game, isn't it? You have given me some inspiration to get creative and not just drive what they give me anymore-- at least as far as the stock paint.

Although, I remember in F2 that you could not modify the special cars and did not ever try to do it in F3.

I enjoyed this thread, thanks!

I got rid of the stock bumpers and bought the conversion kit to change it to AWD also changed the engine from a 5 cylinder to a v8, racing tranny and wheels...things a beast. It'll do 0-60 in 3 seconds stock is 5.9 0-100 8 seconds and it maxes out at 175. It out runs a lot of cars a standard focus wouldn't even dream of.

How big is the V8

Oh and is this another racing game that has only the Mustang GT?

I think there are several hundred cars. I am not sure how many Mustangs. I am about halfway through the game and think I have about 50-cars.

it's got several different "mustangs" one is the saleen (though it isn't called a mustang and not made by ford it's made by saleen obviously) I can't remember the size or HP of the focus's V8 but I know the things a beastly car. It smokes just about every car off the line but the high end speed is lacking so it's only good on some tracks. For all others I have my Ford Gt40 (also in broncos colors and decals)

well the paint job was obviously my own, then people sell vinyl layers online and I just bought a broncos one and pasted it onto my car. I'll take a screenshot the next time I'm in the game and post it up here for you (I'll get my ford GT and mercedes as well since they are both broncoized.)
