Haha. It's ok. Just that I play a lot of V83.
Comparing V83 with Forza and laughing with the posts. Everyone is trying to get that extra 1kph speed.
I just love the battle on here.


No, wouldn't say I am fast as I don't have the full Nurburgring circuit and reading your posts, I want the full circuit now, not just the F1 circuit.
Better still I want the Pikes Peak Hillclimb (not the NASCAR Pikes Peak circuit).

Ah ok Spanrz.

I was meaning that the v8's in forza are crap. Not in another game.

I don't think the developers put much thought into the v8's I mean yes they are powerful but:

1) they are a race car, they are designed to handle it, not just kick the rear out every corner

2) holdens do infact have a dashboard, contrary to Forza devs thoughts!

Sorry smidy if alot of people dislike the challenge we can change it.
I just thought modding would be a bit more fun and on cheaper cars makes it easier for people .
Current ive run a 2.26 , not sure if the time will be competitive but i changed my mods and now i cant catch my ghost no matter how hard i try. An i cant remember what mods that ghost had

No cheating mate I also did a 8:32 after that 8:30, thing is its a big track so small errors here and there add up to an extra 5 seconds or so. Just know the track very well and been playing Forza for a while.

So what is the next car for Road america, GT or another Mustang? I'd prefer stock cars but majority vote should win

Let me put this out, i know its just a little fun on the forums, but with stock cars you can get them free in free play, jump in and go on the track which makes it come down to the driving, with modding you have to buy the car, buy mods, try testing which mods produce better results, much more time consuming and complicated. I still prefer stock cars
