Forza Horizon still has something nice to say about the 370

With the 370 seemingly taking the place of "whipping boy" in most car comparisons, it put a smile on my face to see our Z next to these monsters: Forza

A better render would be nice but beggars can't be choosers i guess....

Not the best angle for our cars in that picture, but the words are pretty good Got the game preordered over a month ago, just 10 days left to go!

I am a super Gran Turismo fan. But the only other racing game that I would buy is forza. A nice thing about forza is the aftermarket upgrade section. They have Tein, Endless, HKS, Greddy, Nismo and all that. Can't wait to see how the Horizon turns out! And hey, see what my screen name says.

Forza Horizon looks too much like NFS. I don't know if I'd enjoy playing it...

I've seen the preview of it but dk if I want to preorder it. Seems pretty good. May have to download the demo and play it. I've been playing Forza 4 when I get bored. I played with 370z every time I play Forza 4, it makes me want to get a 370z really bad lol.

Don't have a 370z yet but hopefully I'll be able to get in couple months.

I played the demo on my 360, and am glad I didn't preorder. Too much like NFS for me. I kept finding myself wishing it were GTA so I could get out and do other stuff. imho it also seems like the driving simulation is less realistic than the other games.

Anybody giving the 370Z as a Pre-order bonus? Or do I need to get the Collectors Edition or something?

I started playing Forza 4 last night for the first time. This is my second console. My first was a Coleco in the 1970's. This is a new experience.

At the hard setting the car seems to handle better than my own car, yet I get very similar times as I do when drive Laguna Seca for real.

Where do I need to set the settings to make the car realistic?

I grabbed the demo and dinked around in it some. It does not feel like either NFS or Forza 4, somewhere in the middle leaning more towards Forza 4 imo. The cars rotate faster and were tending to not understeer as much compared to Forza 4, but you still have to brake and pick decent lines for the corners. It seemed really strange.

I will probably stay away from this one.

Turn off the assists. Will cause brakes to instantly overheat and car to go into limp mode after the first corner, just like the real deal.
