ORIGINAL: Tracker

thats neat, ive seen vids on streetfire about Forza and they are mostly about drifting, i hear its supposed to be haed to drift in the game is this true?
they make it hard for you, you have to actually know how to tune a drift car. Keep the stock tires, buy the best suspension (because it's tunable) and stiffinf the rear shocks and springs all the way and make the fronts 3/4 soft. But the best LSD get around 300hp and of course on a rear wheel drive and drifting's a snap. a few car's drift well from factory, mostly MRs can drift with no mods due to the rear weight. The drifting is fun to do on free run, but there is no drift mode, and drifting in races will often slow you down. If you want to drift, set up a car specifically forr it, because that previously mentioned set up could screw you over quite a few races.

Another thing, if you install a spoiler, your top speed goes down due to drag, but your ability to handle increases due to downforce, the simulator takes every detail into consideration.

yeah (we are totally thread jacking, I hope no one minds)

the more expensive the spoiler, the more downforce it has. The spoilers prices range on the effectiveness, size, and company that makes them. A miata can have a crappy little spoiler for $200 or a Mazdaspeed one for $600 and then they get more performance because the 2nd one is name brand or you can go racing spoilers (brand is calle dForza) and then you get CF spoilers that cost most but do most, for track aplications. it's also like autocross, you can change your car class by what mods you do to it. You should get it, definately he best racing game I've played, next is Project Gotham.

R/C cars. I put so much money into that when I was younger. I had the Team Losi something something. It was pretty fast. I had a green machine engine in there. It easily got up to 50 mph. That was fun. Now I race shifter go-karts. 250cc. 0-60 in 4.5 seconds!
