If I could find a 128GB for a decent price I would swap out my stock 60GB in a heart beat.

Nice, but I think the loading tmes are getting a lot faster. Unless I'm just losing my mind.

What really pisses me off is the sound... It sounds SO rice - so does my mod'd ZR1. I'm also irritated I can't tune as much as I can in FM3. It says a customizable tranny, yet it won't let you adjust the gear ratios independently. If I add a Drag Race Mode as another HUGE gripe, I'm otherwise pretty happy with the game. I must say that these three that I've pissed-on about overall sour me to the game. I'm liking FM3 more. More cars that I like, better tuning, and some other details really have me liking FM3 a touch more...

This entire game is starting to irritate the crap out of me. Why did this take so long to make?!? What is so special about this? Also, my camaro sounds nothing like a muscle car after the supercharger install. I understand it's gonna have a whine to it, but my car sounds like an angry banshee screaming at me for the entire race.

I'm actually thinking about modding that car. If it's the car I'm thinking of it handles pretty damn good. I know, I know.

Honestly don't know if you will win the car a second time. If I were to take a guess, I would say not a chance. I think that is a one time deal.

Right now, I'm trying to find an IROC

It's a freakin game...who cares lol...I had to buy a 90s Jap car to enter one of the tournaments...my car of choice...95' Skyline R33 Looking forward to driving that.

I hated driving the stupid Miata though...I have an S2000 as my other Jap car...my car of choice...69' Camaro

I'm only at Level 7...can't wait till I reach 9!!!

And the car I was talking about is this one...

Hmm... If that's the case, that's not so bad then... I guess I'll have to wait to see what everyone posts or wait to get there myself. My interest is starting to fall off...

Disappointing...

EXACTLY!!! I, frankly, don't see the justification for how long it took, at least in terms of content in the game. I've already posted what I think of the sound. In terms of the graphics - in photo mode, it's GREAT! Gameplay doesn't look quite right to me. I know it's not my TV (3D LED Sony LCD) and I'm running HDMI (with optical). The "other" game doesn't look any less developed at all. The more I think about it, the more I miss playing the "other" game more lately...

I think it's time to get back to Call of Duty, lol.

You win cars when you beat races that make you do them back to back like 3 at a time. It'll put an icon on you Big Rig on the main screen.

I think it's time to get back to Call of Duty, lol.

I feel the same way. It's a cool game but the load times are annoying and in the end it looks almost the same as GT4. The sound of the cars is awful. When I finally got my SS yesterday and it "drove onto the screen" the sound of it starting was dead on. Then I raced with it and it sound the same as my turbo Yaris POS that I had to buy. I got the game as a gift for my birthday and will still play it, but I don't think I would have bought it for myself. I did see a demo at BestBuy that had it hooked up to a 3d tv with the glasses and it looked cool, but no where worth the money for the experience and I had a headache after a bit.

:( Also whats the deal with not being able to get an SS in IOM with Black Rally stripes! Had to settle for white. :(

Yep that's the one. Been driving the heck out of it I am really interested in what I can get that thing to do. Just wish the chick came with it.

Little off topic, but I am running pretty much the same setup minus the 3D capability. And I have been told and have read that the optical hurts my sound performance, and the HDMI has better audio capabilities. I was surprised to see that. Only thing that sucks is, my ps3 will NOT play the sound through the HDMI. I think I may have a bad cable or something.

Also, running the supercar race at Daytona, with just a stock C6 Z06 and stock tires = interesting experience. But I did pull through in the end with a Win

You lucked out... I did it once and an Enzo showed up. Makes life real interesting.

I almost beat the enzo coming out of the last turn, he picked up my draft and beat me by .046.The Z06 is an amazing machine. With the right driver.

Nope this is a feature that is locked out for now but will be fixed in a future update. Damage doesn't change at higher levels either, in fact the only cars with really good damage are the WRC rally cars.

[greenrail]

Sorry, been busy working (ahem).

So far got up to
LEvel 13.

Two Camaros

One with racing mods and 704 hp. Black
One SS 601 hp - IOM
One SRT8 Challenger - 730 hp

Anyone run the Camaro at LeMans before they added the chicanes on Mulsanne. That is a trip at208 mph. WOW!

I need to get a Chrysler 300 C but haven't found it yet.

[The Dark Knight]

Man...I used to sell the cheap prize cars I used to get...not anymore lol

I needed a car for the FF races...I remembered I hadn't sold my Mugen Civic Si '87...that car can handle and smoke the other cars I raced lol

[greenrail]

Toyota MR 2 with Suprecharger works pretty damn good for a starter car. That car was a hoot!

[Camaro_Corvette]

Started mine with a Civic Type R. Not too shabby.
