Anybody else just watch the Forza show on Speed?

350Z's show casing Forza 2? That's like having my 4 banger on thier show, show casing it's low end torque...Unless they were showing how real the damage is with the 350Z with a crack in the road otherwise show off a Lambo Diablo

Were they showing gameplay footage on the show?

something didnt seem right. The vette should have smoked the GT in the 1/4 mile

I forgot all about it, guess I'll catch it next week and hopefully can dl or catch a replay of the 1st.

the more i think about it an LS2 should DESTROY the GT. The GT has less power and should way more. I do not race but could prolly have beaten the GT with that vette.

Come on, easy on the Z. Its a great car - even if you don't consider that its like an order of magnitude cheaper than a Diablo.

I actually prefer it when they put cars in the game that I can afford and see on the road.

nice, i have a TT as well, you on vortex or audiworld?

i myself missed the forza shows up until now, i forgot to dvr them, but they're in my schedule now.

meh, it's just got an abt/caractere kit and a big turbo setup

Here you go.

I think the tracks were listed in the other Forza thread.

Oh, and I jus watched the showdown. Who would have guessed that the Year Ones would have reliability issues .

I was fairly disappointed with the show. The reliability issues that came up (fuel starving, gears locked out, etc) are just inexcusable, especially from "experienced tuners". I'm also very surprised they're letting these people race wheel to wheel at RA without rollcages; I don't know many racing organizations that would let that happen. Throw in there that most of the drivers seem inexperienced (e.g. see Gushi throwing a hissy-fit and banging on the wheel, cutting corners, making stupid moves to try and pass), I think this show is just calling for a disaster. And the last thing to complain about is all of the reality-TV show drama; come on, just show the events and some commentary from the drivers/crews and be done with it!

As for the cars, I think they should have gone with just 1 350Z and put in something else; the Z doesn't even come close to the other cars in raw power (well, on top of the fact it's a pig). I'm sure they chose the Z because people today consider it a "tuner car", but it seems dumb to have two of them. I would personally love to see an S2000 out there, but judging on how "skilled" these drivers are, they'd probably just have the tail keep coming around on them. But that's just me. ;-)

The 350Z is also the cover girl for Forza2, so I'm sure that has something to do with the duplication.

The wheel banging was funny though, that's pretty much what I look like driving home from work every night . And as for that insane corner cutting, is that even legal? I've played some GTR, and whenever I've cut a corner like that there is a warning/penalty...

I'm surprised he didn't break something!

gushi's corner cutting reminded me of alex zanardi at leguna seca. but he did a good job keeping up with the vette which should have smoked him on road atlanta.

i saw that at least one car had a rollcage and i'm pretty sure that none of these are stock models. the mustang gt obviously had a hp boost.

and 350's aren't pigs. they are well balanced and tight handling. and 306hp is nothing to sneeze at. (z owner/fanboy)

I didn;t see the show but the best show for admiring cars is Top gear. It's only on BBC2 but I get it off of the net(it blocked the name of a popular p2p protocol).

A few comments....

I didn't see the show but will catch it next week. Video games and racing FTW.

Don't under estimate the 350z on a track. Power isn't everything.

Nice cars Audi guys. I would love to race you fellows one day (not in a video game).

The Diablo is old and busted. Gallardo with TT kit is the new hotness!

350z versus ls2 vette and the vette should win everything

i agree, they should have gotten rid of at least one of the year one classics (or both) and add a gallardo. they could have let a total amateur drive it to balance things out a bit, since it seems they matched the drivers to the cars.


the older model year 350z's had 287hp but it has 306hp now.

I believe it said the vette was an LS 2 not an LS 7. If it was a z 06 vette and he lost a 1/4 mile to a mustang GT he should have his driving license and man card taken away. a 505 hp vette made of carbon fiber versus a 300 horse power care made of crap. MAYBE if it was a GT500 and not a GT it would have a chance but given weight ratios i still think the vette would win.

The old muscle cars look AMAZING. i would not mind having one just for fun. But i find it kind of funny, i find it kind of sad that they are having so much problems.

I hope they put this show on the marketplace before the games comes out.

anyone hear the exhaust on the new camaro today??? mean.


and the vette is an LS2

the vette should be lighter, but at 400 CRANK hp, the vette is at a slight disadvantage compared to the mustang's 423 WHEEL horsepower (thanks to a vortec s/c) and a more expirienced driver.

seems to me like they took the cars and matched them with the drivers. took the second fastest car with the best handling and gave it to the kid, the fastest car went to the chick, etc, etc. the guys with the most driving expirience got the Z's and the bigger guys got the older cars cause they're a little harder to drive.

my question than is if the stang is modified and laying 423 to the wheel why are the other cars (350zs) not modded too? IF they were to throw a TT kit, gut some of the weight , throw a 100 shot on the 350 they would have a chance. the vette would put at elast 330ish to the wheels and the difference in weight would be huge. My question is what was modded on the stang before they went in.
