My new Boxster S. Complete with a 997 GT3 motor. She has about 497hp very fun.

Had some friends over to play on my ultimate ghetto multi-screen rig: 3 32" TVs, 3 xbox, 3 copies of Forza, Fanatec wheel, CSP and wheel stand. Also featuring classical Chinese furniture



Video(s) of poor driving:

then we broke down the set up to play some Midnight club system link.

Mmmmmmm white Zonda R

Congrats on the purchase!

Mark how was the Boxster S before you put the new engine in it? I bought one last weekend but haven't used it yet.

Rise that's ghetto but fucking sweet at the same time.

I thought it was good. Quick but not fast but that was probably due to the fact that I'm used to 700hp+ monsters in the game. If anything, I thought she handled amazingly well though. It's ideal now with the GT3 engine as it revs much higher. I'll be putting in the 997 Twin Turbo motor soon and I'll report back.

I downloaded the Road and Track Car Pack today. It included:

2010 Volkswagen Golf R
2009 Holden HSV w427
2010 Ford Taurus SHO
2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG
2010 Renault Megane RS 250
2010 Vauxhall Insignia VXR
2010 Mini Coupe Concept
2010 Bentley Continental Supersports
2010 Mazda MX-5 Superlight
2010 SEAT Leon Cupra R

I bought.....

The Golf R:





The Continental GT SS:







The E63 AMG:





Yes I put the Brabus front and rear bumpers along with the Brabus wheels. I like the front bumper because it gets rid of the orange diffuser. The rear bumper has subtle changes in the middle diffuser. I'm not a huge fan of the wheels but at least it's a full Brabus Benz

The E63 is NASTY. I love it. It spins tires between 1st and 2nd and 2nd and 3rd

I drove the 2009 Holden HSV w427 and even though it was quick with the big V8, I wasn't really impressed

I was actually surprised that I beat the holden around a track by over 2 seconds with the e63. Oh, and I really like the way the taurus sounds, but the vaxhuall insignia vxr is much more fun to drive.

Just curious, what assists do you guys use?

I don't use any assists, and I am not sure if people i play online use assists, but i get dominated.

Maybe they just tune their cars really well.

I don't, and when I used to play online allot I generally started private rooms and forced most of the assists off (it's always fun to see the people who aren't paying attention do a burnout off the starting line and lock up the brakes plowing into the first turn)

Out of the new DLC, I really like the w427, the E63, & the vauxhall. The Holden & the Insignia have some pretty surprising amounts of grip

Whenever I'm done with a race on during the season I check the leaderboards of my friends and compare the times. It also tells you what assists your firends used and if there was any penalty or not.
