Sacramento, CA | Yeah, I have played it. Decent game however it is very similar to Forza 2. The drag racing so far hasn't been as fun as I thought but I haven't played online yet so will see.

Debating picking it up at Midnight myself. I have the LE on pre-order. I have to work early tomorrow, so I'll probably end up just waiting until lunch break to pick it up since I won't be able to play much after 12:30am.
I have a pretty good core of friends who are waiting on this as well (we just finished up an A Class racing Cup in Forza 2 actually). |

I'll be picking up my copy here in a few hours. I wish GameStop would open at 9am :/ I'll be playing nothing but this for at lease a week. |

So far so good! It came with a card inside for some tracks and a legendary car pack, etc...but of course you have to use in game credit to use the damn things, lol.   |

Just got done playing for today, I played for less than 2 hours but I got up to level 4 and bought myself a sweet 2004 Audi S4. Now that thing tears up cars off the line and overall I am impressed for such a heavy car. I got this because I was interested in buying one for real and wow is all I can say.

North Aurora, IL | Yeah I'm sitting at about level 8 and about 100,000 credits in my account. Still not sure which way I want to go with my first good car in the game. |

| If you get the 370Z you can do an engine swap to the current GTR engine. I have been considering getting one as my friend has had great results with it. My Audi was just for fun and I'm looking at getting a more serious race vehicle.

| Yeah I was worried about spending too much since I just opened up the C class season and I didn't want to be stuck with a bad ride. I'll take a look at that 370 and see where it can be used. If it's anything like the 350z from 2, it should be a pretty good car. |

| Yeah, plenty of great options though. I like to look at the leaderboards for ideas. One cool thing about Forza 3 is that if your current car is too high of a class due to your modifications it will automatically give it a balanced detune. Also being able to save the parts setup saves some time when you only want to do one of the low end races then restore it after.

| It's been a bit of a mixed bag for me. On one hand, you have better car models, cleaner look to the menus, more tracks, etc.
On the other hand, you have the game dumbed down a bit to cater to the casual racing crowd more (auto tune, auto brakes, rewind, matchmaking in public lobbies) but I think they did very well all things considered, but I feel the game could have been so much more with a few changes.
I'm still tempted to pick up a cheap Foxbody Stang and just spend it up on parts for the drag strip. |

in Forza 3 cars can finally flip over. anyone roll their cars yet?
cbrigante2, i wonder if the fox body stang will be squirrely. body flex of the fox bodies make them tough to drag with.

| I have done a double sideways roll before on accident. Let's just say I was experimenting.
But yeah, I agree with that cbrigante2. That was one of the first things I noticed, how this game caters to even the dumb drivers by basically holding your hand.
Just curious, what would make this game so much more?
I personally was really expecting more myself as it really didn't add much to the Forza 2 experience but Forza 2 was awesome as well. I found the drag to be pretty lame so far, there is no way I am driving that consistent to the thousandth of a second.
Is there a dedicated drift mode, I was planning on building a purpose built drift car but it seems like the drift is just sort of integrated to regular races. Really weird to me. Press left d-pad and observe top right to see for yourself.
