ah fuckaye, that would be awesome. Yeah Forza is great, I feel like I'm cheating a bit with my modded quatro. Also got a Datsun 510 up to S class. What assists do you guys use?

ENVY. I'm a PS3 guy so no Forza 3 goodness for me, although I have played the game and it's awesome.

My vote goes to all the shite in there. I would almost buy an Xbox just so I can drive that damn Dodge Omni Goes Like Hell Summore (yes that's what the 'GLHS' stands for)

From memory the only cars i've bought in game are pre 95, retro all the way.
I set All the assists to off, difficulty hard, simulation mode and use manual without a clutch, have you tried it on a pad, it's all fingers and thumbs so to speak!

But if i'm using any of the R1,2,3 classes i sometimes use traction control depending on the track. I've yet to actually play online, just been trawling through the single player when i get the time.

If you want to ad me on Live i'm: Rat Catcha

I feel like I'm cheating more now! I have abs and braking lines on. I tend to forget to stop, lock up and slam into the barriers. I do use a pad though, never really saw the benefit of a wheel with forza 2...

yeah, its closed and unfortunatley the 242 did not get enough votes. however out of each group there is several golden tickets that go to cars that the people who run the site thing should have gone through and the 242 volvo got lucky!
