Seconded! Good job, t.o.

Also, what do you all think about some good, old fashioned time attack for tuned cars? You know, go for a car, a class, tune it and see what you can do?
Personally, I'd rule out drive train swaps and the Forza aero parts (because adjustable downforce and drivetrain swaps seem to mess with the PI too much)... But I'd love some creativity
D[350] Gen1 MX-5 (NA Miata to most of you), maybe?
You don't get damage in free play?
And here I was shifting carefullyShould've abused that to engine break the hell out of the car. Oh well, who cares
) versus abusing the car with no conscequences that free play mode. Kinda takes away for me. Just people need to let us know what mode they ran in.
, it will be interesting to see how the car drives in the game, I don't know if I have driven it before in FM3. I'm hoping it will feel as planted as the Trans Am did through some of the corners. I can't drive the GP track due to not having any DLC. I like the GP track though, having driven it in a few PC sims and also GT5.
Oh, I'm sorry for not knowing it, as I never really bothered with free play...

8:49.4 is what I managed (for three consecutive laps, so that's pretty much it).
And here's the verdict:
Visibility: One of the rare cars in FM3 that actually seats you too low imo, rather hard to see corners that is slightly downhill.
Sound: I'll just call it the typical american middle of the range sound? only seem to come alive a bit near the red line.
Power: Doesn't feel any close to the figure suggests, in fact I instinctively checked whether the pedals are connected properly after I set off, it's that slow! Only seem to have meaningful acceleration at the later 1000 or so rpm, and the engine has a lot of inertia, doesn't like to rev. Feels best at 3rd gear, but totally gutless at the top, barely hits 150mph.
Handling: Overall pretty predictable, eager to rotate on entry but if the front can't handle the speed, you get inevitable entry understeer until you slow down, doesn't seem to be a good way around it besides setting the car up in braking and give throttle prior to apex aka the classic way. Can keep momentum with slight 4 wheel drift on faster turns but overall drives like a car which needs a lot of momentum. No problem with exit traction whatsoever, since the thing is pretty gutless.
Overall a forgetable car to drive.
The bolded part is what I found with the car as well. I tried the RS6 in the game and it also had no punch in the highest gear. It is like the cars are geared to not even use the top gear. Will see how the Carrera GT goes, hopefully it is geared better.http://s2.postimage.org/6l2gf1yul/20092011310.jpg

Either way, Carrera GT it is, then. Can't compete on the GP track, though, as I don't have that track.
, I probably played less on free play than you, but by the way I was not having a dig at you.
. However if someone goes ahead of me, I might do another two lap run. Is there a way to not have to do a standing start lap, will save at least 9 minutes? I think it is safe to say I have the least experience on this game than anyone else who has posted a time so far, so I should get faster in the next combo just through more experience and getting used to using a controller again for driving games.
It doesn't matter for me since I'm never online on the 360 so it should save me a good few minutes đź‘Ť.Backing up and speeding up before crossing the finishing line definitely does work, but it will mark your lap as 'dirty'. Sucks if you want to make it onto the leaderboards, but I think it should work perfectly fine for our porpuse
. It understeers quite a lot through corners so requires more partial throttle than the Trans Am to stop running wide. Can have oversteer on exit depending on bumps so depending on corner you have to be slightly more careful than normal to keep traction high. The car brakes / downforce / tyre grip are very good. Overall quite fun car to drive due to the power on this track.
