So the Camaro I posted earlier (which now sports a delightfully dirty rhyme on the back bumper) is currently sitting at a PI of 441. That's running a cage, fully stripped, street tires, and a drop-in air filter. If that's too high, I did find an old turbo Volvo that I can probably get running.

It does indeed look a bit dark as well. You can get a nice metallic/gloss contrast that looks pretty cool if you do this, have a look at this Camaro I painted for T1g4h Wow, that's a crazy difference, thanks for the tip. Every time I try to use gold, I can't get it to NOT look like a different shade of poo poo brown.

I am in love with this loving game. I love that I can put in 20 minutes, make progress, and walk away. gamertag: bunnysplits Add me to whatever the cool North American group is, please. I built a lovely retro skyline that is basically a death rocket. I love it in straightaways but holy poo poo is it scary around turns. I'm slowly weening off assists but the game gets markedly harder as I do, which is cool but I don't want to out difficulty the fun.

Can anyone give me a good class/PI to sort of target around for this shitbox challenge? I'm a little short on knowing old cars (and owning DLC) so I'm sort of clueless here.

Ziploc posted:Maybe try GTCC? We race At 10pm EST every Wednesday. GTCC is where it's at if you strive to be a clean racer. One point of interest, for all the official GTCC Wednesday night races we run with the suggested line forced off (at least we used to force it, not sure how TopHat and Synmoo have been setting it up) Don't let that deter you, though. As long as you don't mind discussion of Space Docking or circumcision, GTCC is pretty awesome. The best way to get into random goon races will still be to hang out in IRC and to add a bunch of goons to your friends list.

Here are 2 that I've built so far for GoonMans. I've got more but the paint jobs aren't done (no numbers, etc). I have an especially gaudy baby blue CRX that I might bust out. Sorry about the size, but it's necessary to convey the detail in the decals (HEH). All of my cars are between 320 and 344 PI. Is that sort of what you guys have been building?

My Xbox Live ID was untouched for whatever reason, although I thought that was the big thing lately, loading them with stolen points and reselling.

I got the Season Pass at launch, and I think all the car packs have been top notch so far. Is there any word on future track packs? I've got a pretty good handle on all the tracks in 4 and I really want to see New York make a return.

I doubt we will ever see one, and if we do, there would probably only be one track. You can do DLC cars all day, because you can just replace the DLC car with some other model. You can't replace a track with something else. They could either split the community with a set of DLC lobbies and non DLC lobbies, or they can just never have DLC tracks in the hoppers. This might be avoided with player controlled lobbies now, but there will always be that one person complaining because they don't have the track. It was tricky enough back when the game first came out and people hadn't installed the second disc yet so they didn't have the top gear track or the soccer field and a few other things. It was quite frustrating getting people together and then half get dropped because they didn't have something. Unless Turn 10 makes some mandatory update that includes a track pack, I doubt we will see new tracks.

A track pack would be really cool, but I don't see it ever happening. I think after the last DLC car pack, which is in April, we won't see anymore DLC.

I would be fine with whatever they decide to do. I personally would prefer city tracks myself. Just a pack of 5 new tracks though would go a long way. That's Forza 4s only real weakness is a lack of variety in race tracks. We actually would have apparently gotten Time Square back, but Turn-10 felt the performance wasn't good enough with the new improved lighting effects, to keep it in Forza.

I have fond memories of Rio, Dockyard, that mountain course from the first game (Blue Mountain?) and Tokyo.

I'm not a big fan of Bernie's. I just can't get it figured out. It seems like I take drat near every corner way too hot. They're super misleading. Maple Valley is fun, though. Although I almost poo poo myself the first time I saw the covered bridge.

Camino Viejo is a splendid track as well, at least the track part. The spiteful walls that throw wrecked cars right back into the racing line are a big black mark on the place.
