^

I downgraded my old GT500 to an "A" class while the new one is a "S" class

And yes the LP670 is amazing to say the least. Mine is already a Level 5.

PS...where have you been man? I haven't seen you post here or be on Forza in forever.

add some camber, get upgrades for the suspension (sway bars, suspension, etc) and also add in some Race tires. I built myself an RWD R3 997 GT2 and it's gotten pretty easy to control with those upgrades. Even with street tires it isn't that bad...

I hear you on that man. I play maybe an hour or two a week now. School is taking over my life

Well since I got the new car pack, I took the new Zonda R out for a bit, and I couldn't keep that bitch straight on the track. I would get on the gas and the back end would just go stupid.

I'm a bitch and turn on the traction control whenever I use a higher class RWD car

I like to drift around the track unintentionally. It is a big hard to control a FR car when you get into S-Classes, especially if it's a car that initially was lower, like a B or A-class. But its so much fun to drive a RWD car without TC on with the steering wheel.... I'm contemplating selling it though

I haven't played this game in ages though damn MW2

^I always overcompensate when drifting and the back end just kicks around

Maybe I'm struggling because it's harder with a controller?

And I have yet to get MW2 and don't plan on it

Yeah, I let it languish for a long time. Now I can start on 3 soon.

Right now, I'm finally getting started with KOTOR II.

As long as the controller sensitivity is set right I usually find it easier to manage over steer with it than with a wheel. I think it's much easier to go from lock to lock and catch the car before it goes too far, but I can't race a oval track in forza to save my life.

In the gt5 prologue the controller steering acceleration was set up to ease into a corner very slowly but snap back quickly if you were in the middle of a turn. It worked much better for me on long sweeping turns, but going from one game to the other nearly drove me insane. Luckily the new 370z demo is set up in a way I'm accustomed to.

Cochese, KOTOR II was a great game. You'll like it if that's your kind of game

Oversteering is easy to manage, you just have to balance the use of the gas and use touch and precision with the steering to gradually countersteer. When the rear starts coming around just ease up on the countersteer a little bit and maybe add throttle to maintain the drift. If its not coming around enough, either more steering angle and/or gas.

I probably should have posted this when it started but I forgot.

Forza and Jalopnik are teaming up to make some new car packs.

Here is the initial post.

Here are the results of the first run. There will be more voting to do though, so get your voice in there!

Not available yet. I assume once they have the cars eliminated to a certain amount they will begin production.
