Just gave the demo a shot... Of course I can't adjust the controls so I'm stuck using the Auto transmission... Oh, and the race music sucks...

Other than that the steering is MUCH improved, it really feels more like a real steering now ! You feel the weight of the car, the camber in the road and it can swerve !

Sliding is also way better, the Cougar is a beast ! :P

A few things bug me though... But I'd say the most important one is the performances of certain cars...

AWD are still too good, and some cars who are REAL dogs on the track are way too fast in-game... An 06' Gallardo, an Audi R8 V10 and a Merc SLS AMG giving poop to a Corvette ZR1 ? (Also, the Nissan GT-R is overrated...)

Please...

I'm still to try the Zonda !

You do realise, and please, don't kill me for suggesting such a thing, that the Corvette isn't actually that good? I know I'm going to be formally executed and my severed head is going to be cut into it's constituent parts and handed out in pamphlets to small children, but perhaps, a Gallardo and an Audi R8 V10, might, just might, have a chassis as standard?

I can smell so prejudices about American cars there...

I sure hope YOU realise that the Corvette is WAY faster than any of these cars ? Actually the "simple" Z06 with the Z07 package can crush them easily...

Stop trying to reject the fact that the Vette is one of the best sportscar around...

I would suggest not arguing with James about this, because he will win...

Also, I tried to sign in to XBL and it says I need to download an update, but the update is currently unavailable. I'm hoping this is because of all the problems Live is having - if Uni has blocked the ports I need to connect to XBL, I will literally shit on the IT guys desk and leave.

Please note that was possibly slightly exaggerated...

Well One thing is for sure and thats why I think its slower in game is that the ZR1 is harder to drive. It can be driven faster than the Lambo and Audi but you will do much more work getting there (and have more fun) than those 2.

Has no one considered that maybe the computer players (AI) have been generically setup just so you have an equal chance against 11 other cars? Rather than being faster than say 3 cars, fighting with 5 cars and not being able to catch the other 3...

Food for thought maybe?

I know that the pole-sitter never seems to get involve in battles so he runs away...

The A.I. is still slow though... In the Cougar I was over 4 seconds quicker than them... With the automatic transmission...

Also, I found out that the Zonda and the 458 are really understeery, it's just awful... Why ? WHY !?

That leads me to say that the Rival challenge in the Zonda was very frustrating... I was on my way to get a clean 1:42 but yeah, dirty laps are still WAYYYYY too easy to get... (The corner before the last one, you just go beside the wall and you get one...)

So yeah, with the manual/clutch transmission I reckon I could be at least 1.5/2 seconds quicker :P

You're probably close to the truth Neal...But Ruckus also bases his Corvette comments on comparo results done by serious car magazines with serious testers done on challenging race tracks in the last couple of years....I've seen these results myself and the Corvette's just own any "street driveable" cars out there....As much as I would like a Porsche do it, they can't..... ;)

Right, I still can't connect.

I don't particularly like it here as it is, and this is really pissing me off.

edit: Fixed the connection again. Still don't like it here.

At the rear!!!

It just baffles me how a nearly 700 BHP Zonda with no Assists and road tyres is nearly impossible to get loose unless you do some thing stupid!

It might just be me not used to road cars, or i'm to gentle with it. <---- yeah right me gentle!!!! lol

It really understeers too much...

You can spin the wheels on power easily, and it feels realistic compared to Forza 3... But the car is set with soooooo much understeer that it kinda messes up the car...
