Im level 33 on forza 3 and wondering if its worth grinding up to lvl40 to get the DBR9 before I load my save.

Sure enough is. And yes, it still drives like an oil tanker with a broken rudder.

So, completely accurate. With reasonably sticky tires, it was impossible to make my old 240 act up at all - no matter how fast you were going, if you cranked the wheel, it would just scrub speed and turn.

Or at least until another one (already doing barrel rolls) careened into you and caused you to right yourself again. This would last until the next turn and the entire race would just be Robin's launched forward by other Robin's until 2 laps are complete.

This is my dream racing game.

Shoot me your GT now and I'll send an invite your way so you don't have to wait around for it to be accepted tomorrow.

Also it's not worth grinding FM3 in the slightest, money isn't hard to come by in FM4.

The first GTCC race we did on the Top Gear track, I flipped a Stratos on it's side after getting broadsided into the tires, and had to sit there complaining until someone crashed into me, which put me entirely on my roof, until a second person hit me and I could right it.

The game owns, is what I'm saying.

The r3 ka isn't far off a robin as far as stability goes. I rolled it at least 5 times in one lap, once going 12mph, and I still had the best time and only clean lap. Going to lift it as far as she'll go tonight and gently caress around with some camber and platform settings. My dream is to one day have a car in the top 3% of drag that literally is unable to take corners.

The club garage should be for precisely tuned, unique, and/or otherwise hilarious vehicles. If there is a vehicle very similar to yours in there already, maybe reconsider sharing it.

It doesn't help that a couple of dudes have thrown like 7 cars in there.

you can drive a stock version of any car in in rivals and online without owning it.

Also, my 360 is very close to death and I expect a new console purchase in the near future. If I do a full install on my old Xbox, including all the limited edition DLC/whatnot and import my FM3 profile, will I be able to transfer all the relevant files over to the new console using a USB drive or similar (and keep my VIP status active assuming there's a similar "crown" thing going on as there was in FM3)? Don't care about any other data, Forza 4 will probably be the last 360 title I play.

You'll have to do a transfer with official xbox transfer kit. if you do it any other way the forza saves will corrupt because they are encrypted and not save/move/copyable.

TBH FM4 demo Rivals was the first time id stepped away from pure career mode as I never thought id be good enough to play online and had a tendency to use OCB(other car braking) on corners BUT the rivals demo has been a crash course in proper sim driving for me and now if i crash its due to me loving up an not lazy cornering.

Got a mate signing up as well even though he's new to forza he's given me a really good run on rivals :)

Rivals mode is going to get really intense in about 2 months when everything has settled down. Right now everyone is just spastically driving whatever they can, but once people really start tuning and the boards are full and it's down to the .02 for improving your time and tuning your car poo poo is going to get real. It's going to be awesome.

New controller sales are going to go through the roof with all the people breaking them in frustration.

No, that was the Suzuki Samurai. Consumer Reports was all kinds of angry about it. I remember there being similar issues about the Ford Bronco II, and a lot of discussion about how much of the rollover characteristics where inherent to the platform and how much was the heavy outriggers they put on it.

It's not so great in real life either. It's certainly fast and has lots of horsepower, but all it wants to do is push. Going around a corner is obviously something it wasn't designed to do.

I stopped playing online outside of the GTCC because of this. It just isn't worth it to attempt to pass anyone, since 90% of the time they'll just put the both of you into a wall because they either can't drive or don't give a gently caress.

You can't import graphics, but they give you a library of shapes and gradients (and text) that you can stretch and curve and layer up until you get something like the shape you want. It can take a while, because you have to work with like lines and circles. If you want to see some real poo poo, Sunday Punch turns out the illest goddamn decals I've ever fuckken seen on a car.

I guess there are pre-made logos you can use, like Bomex or whatever, if you want to do that.
