Question Acura RL Aspec on Video Game?

My nephew tells me there is an 2006 Acura RL ASPEC on the video game: Forza Motorsports 2 for Xbox?

Any gamers out there to confirm? Possible to get some images posted?

Thanks CL6!

I guess I will have to purchase the game for my nephew so I can see & drive the RL.

I wonder...this may have been my nephew's strategy to get me to buy him the game? Wait...I bet he needs an Xbox too!

I'm screwed.

It's not just the game and the Xbox it's the steering wheel and the pedals, too. That's pretty cool they have the RL in there. One of those games had a CL in there, too.

Interesting. I wonder how well they emulate the SH-AWD during game play?

Look what I found...

I'd say they did a pretty darned good job.

dang, looks nice. i wonder how they're physics engine is gonna be for that game. is it gonna be as realistic as Gran Turismo 4? I really hope that they add the RL in the future Gran Turismo games..like GT5.

I remember it was because of Gran Turismo 4 A Spec that got me hooked on Acura's. They had a 2001 CL Type S on there and it was the first nice car I was able to afford on the game. Oh man, I was hooked and have been ever since.

I think this is the first time I've seen an RL in a video game. I've never seen a TL in a video game though.

Gran Turismo 4 had the USDM Accord coupe, 2000 Accord Euro R, JDM Accord (TSX), CL type-S, and RSX type-s

It appears to be an XBox exclusive so far.

I blew 14,600 in game credits to buy the RL A-spec.



Then I spent a few minutes messing around with the paint option.


The game itself is a blast.
But I don't think I'll be using the RL for much racing.

I have mine totally decked out. I'll get a photo up here for y'all. I have every part maxed out. The SH-AWD is VERY noticeable in the handling.

AWESOME !

Looking at the list of cars, the game designers must be honda-biased. Lots of Acura's and Honda's.

Very Very Cool.

I can't even remember what rims I put on. I went through every type looking for something that closely matched my 5Zigen SC3000's. That was the closes I could find. Pretty sweet eh?

I found the game used for $7.99 at Gamestop. Time to bring out the Xbox 360. Whoohoo!

I am an electronics freak who has all the game platforms and tons of games but I never play them. This gives me a reason to play again! Thank's Tampa for the OP.

Well, I'm bumpin' this one...

Our son received the first XBox360 in our house, bundled with a version of Forza 4 and another game. This resulted in my exposure to Forza 4, which I enjoy... and me snatching a copy of Forza 2 for $4 bucks at Best Buy (used).

Then, I got to thinking...is there an RL in a expansion pack or something? I searched here, and find a thread without any functional photos, but claiming that Forza 2 I've got HAS an RL! Now, I have to admit, Forza 2 is harder to drive in...I'd never even used an XBox of any kind and managed to make a lap in the "intro lap" feature of 4, but after playing 4 about 10 times and developing killer skillz on the beginner level , I tried the Forza 2 and couldn't get around the damn track in a Mini, not to mention getting hammered constantly by the computer's cars/drivers.

Okay, whatever. I know there's an RL in there and so now I pose a question to those of you competent in XBox and Forza: can I "gift" or otherwise transfer a car from 2 to be used in 4? I will get past the Spastic Rookie Rank in 2 and get me an RL either way, but it would sure be cool to be able to stash that car in my 4 garage!

Oh, that is cool. Can you buy that car in the garages or do you have to earn it at a particular level? I don't get game privileges for a few days, but I gotta check that out.

I just Googled "Acura RL Forza".

I bought my RL from a dealer after I reached a Bachelor's of Science. If I'm gonna race in fake life, I prefer Toad in a Blue Falcon
