Not with their current physics, no thank you...

I'd take rFactor 2 or netKar Pro on the Xbox instead :)

Sorry Rfactor!

If Forza get any good competition in terms of simulator on the Xbox I'm so jumping ship.

Go on the forzacentral car list and compare some of the car PI's and stats. Firstly, turn 10 are still using the 2006 model of the 430GT for 2010 cars!?! And secondly why are there 4 Ferrari F430GTs and 0 458 GTCs??

Then look at the stats, its ridiculous, the Ferrari still handles like a dog, the Jag stil has way more handling than the others, and for some reason the Ford is massively slow in acceleration? And the Panoz from 2005 handles better than anything else?

They haven't remodeled the performance or styling of any of the GT cars from Forza 3. Massive poos.

I will most probably end up using the "Krohn" F430 for my R3 career racing since there is no #45 RSR anymore ! And where it is allowed to use a souped up street car in R3 I will probably use a RUF.... :)

And yes you're right James, I told you before, your 458GT tune is really nice and fun to drive ! ;)

I agree, it was very fun to drive, but my issue with it is the fact that the interior still looks like a street car. It kind of kills the feel of a "race car" whe you have nice leather and actual gauges vs an LCD display and bare metal and carbon fiber. That an the fact that the forza aero consists of a massive splitter. I don't race in gt though so my opinion does not really count lol

On another note, I have found a new love for the Porsche GT3 RSR, of course right when fm4 is about to come out :(

Yeah, that's THE thing... Interiors...

Apart from that it would be nice that when you put straight pipes (Racing Exhaust) in the upgrades you actually hear the difference...

I just watched the video on the Xbox Dashboard and in reference to his question about adding certain cars to game and to Auto Vista mode, Dan Greenawalt said "Obviously we look on the forums and what our fans are looking for and asking for" (or something like that, but he said they listen to what fans want)

I call shenanigans on that one!!!

Interiors and body flares and air inlets too ! :-/

As for the sounds, I read that in FM4, when you add engine mods, you will hear the difference ! Good news !

mmm Pussy!!!

Yes it is possible to make a road car as fast as a GT2 car, and Yes it is possible to make it nice to drive!

But in no way in hell does it make it a GT car!!!

Porsche RUF curves with nothing but mechanical grip just makes my skin crawl!
I doubt they have changed forza aero at all so the cars are going to look ugly as fried Flamingo..
no more FLMS photo competitions!!

Maybe, just maybe, depending on how the restrictions work (I have heard 8 slots, I have heard one for each car etc.) we could have both the old spec cars run with the new spec? I don't think it would be too hard to balance. The we could have the best of both worlds, and those like riot and probably Jonny could run their pimped up road cars as it does not seem to bother riot, and if Jonny still wants to drive for porsche (RUF :'( ) he has to. Then those like born and ruckus who like the realisim of the actual gt cars rather than the newer ones could also be happy :)

I also hope we can find a way to include te LMPC cars. Thy don't need their own class if you can upgrade them, and it woul be great for newcomers. My brother wants to drive one next year possibly :D Or maybe a little side series hint hint ;)

The problem is that the race cars will have significantly more downforce than modified road cars. That makes balancing them extremely difficult. The disparity in downforce levels is what made balancing the cars this year such a challenge. Throwing modified road cars into the mix will just take the challenge to a whole new level.

I personally hate the idea of running modified road cars. Let me make that clear. But I've driven a Flying Lizard for 3 years running in this series and that's not about to change.

I'm not even excited for Forza 4 any more :-/ after the features I heard about that were left out of the game (some of which I was hoping would be in) and some of the tracks I love being taken out and some generic tracks being added in.

Indianapolis is going to be a speed car track.
Hockenheim is going to be more or less the same.
Infineon is going to be a speed grip track.
Top Gear Test Track, well that's going to lose it's appeal after you do it a few times.

There is no new GT cars. The newest 908 isn't in there and the R18 isn't in there. No BMW M3 GT (not the M3 GT2), no 458GT, no Corvette GT. When they made this partnership with the ALMS, did they only make it so the Dyson Mazda and the Muscle Milk Aston Lola would be in the game? Once again they've just let the fans down. I don't know who they were trying to impress. But with the amount of American Muscle cars in the game, I'd easily narrow it down to just impressing one market, the Americans. :-/

Lets be honest the R3 GT cars don't even look like the real cars anyway. We only really have an old BMW, the Jag and the Ford. Other than that there is nothing? And frankly that would be a shit series when you consider that, having looked at the PI's of the cars on ForzaCentral, the cars are going to be the same as they were in Forza 3. So the BMW will be in the middle, the Jag insane and the Ford poor.

The sound will hopefully change when we add race engine upgrades, and I would rather run a series with all of the GT cars, with a perfect performance balance than 3 unbalanced cars that look slightly more "racecar-like", but not necessarily like the actual cars they are.

Only fools don't change their minds.....Even with stock interiors, the more I think the more I'm leaning towards your idea....

James' idea is the only way to keep the series running. If people don't do that, there isn't much point doing it, since most of the cars we need won't exist in the game. GT cars are effectivley modified road cars anyway?

The look of the interior isn't as important as having the correct cars and good balance, surely? Espeically when you consider the fact that most of us don't even use the in car view...

Of course both ideas have their ups and downs, and in an ideal world I would love to combine all of the good points, but we just have to do the best we can with what we have...
