With the Ford Raptor I could get a 1:48. I used some BMW suv, X5M? And could get 1:43 1:44's pretty consistent if i didnt roll it, lol. If i strung all my best turns together, mught be able to squeak out a 1:42. But i don't know if I could pull it off.

Well I don't think my Jeep is going to make the cut then. I'll have to check some others out, maybe the Touareg, the BMWs, and the Merc.
Also might see just how long it takes a souped up H1 to get around the track. Doubt it can even be upped to anywhere near A600 though. Whaddya say Muerte, post your best H1 time and win...a cookie? No clean laps required, drive wherever you please! EDIT: 2:13.565 in the stock Hummer.

That quick with the BMW, huh? I'll need to go back to the drawing board. Only 46s with the ML Merc. I'm kind of surprised because it's done up to the hilt, and the BMW seemed like it wasn't going to have nearly the upgrade legs. Hmmm.
My lap wasn't all that great, and I've got the aero kind of cranked, so maybe I shouldn't give up on the big Benz that easily. I'll try again tomorrow with no aero bits on it.
I also did up my Mégane tonight, and for the first time I really sat down and tested multiple different upgrade paths on a car. I learned a couple of things that surprised me. I found 3/4 second around Sebring just by deviating from my usual group of go-to parts. Gearboxes for instance - kind of useless. Even after tinkering away at the ratios, it doesn't seem to actually translate to time. I was much better off getting some extra power with my 6 PIs, or whatever.
Yeah, the gearboxes I've found are really a case by case basis thing. Certain cars at certain tracks I have seen a noticeable time gain, but most of the time it's negligible. Seems to help most if you find you're stuck in between gears consistently throughout a track. Being able to stay in the meaty part of a good gear for large parts of a track can pay off.
Ooh, the X5 is pretty good... Now if I can just find a way to get some shiny rims on it, I might be set.
Yea it's pretty fast.
I'm having a hard time setting a clean lap on Sebring, and also a hard time nailing that final corner...

Request accepted.
BTW can someone send me a link to the Google doc for the car swap?

Great, will send the cars early this afternoon after getting back in from taking the family to lunch.
Link is: here
That corner is strange, no matter what I do it always seems like I could have taken it faster.

Union 360 was just sent the cars, as you accept them update the tracking spreadsheet please.
One note: as I was sending the cars I was marking off a printed list and at the end hadn't checked off the 2004 F430, however all the pink cars in my collection were gone (great idea on the color scheme btw), so I'm assuming I sent it and just missed the check mark.
IF there is an F430 missing (not sure how that would happen since last night) let me know and I'll contribute one to the collection. Again though, I'm assuming/hoping I just missed it on my check sheet. I put an * on the spreadsheet in the F430's ownership notes as a reminder of which car I hadn't checked off.
Let me know either way please Union. Also big thanks to guest1321 for setting all of this up.

Amazing shots!
it may be a disc 2 car and therefore isnt needed for the achievement

Just got all the cars. The pink F430 is there.
I just sent a friend request to Sneaky77...as soon as he accepts, I will send him all the cars.
Both achievements unlocked, thanks guys!
FYI, I'm headed out to a motorcycle show and then a dinner party, so I probably won't be back home until tomorrow (Sunday) around 1 PM EST.

So how do I get on the list to get the cars for the achievement? I looked around but didn't find anything.
In a stock or modified H1? That's gonna be one boring lap, lol. I'll try it later on today
Yeah, surprised with the BMW myself, its super quiet driving it around with so little mods, but the lap times are so much better.
Also, in for the races tomorrow, if you need the confirmation.
I was thinking with any and all upgrades applied, how fast can it possibly get around... I just posted my stock time for reference I guess. Haven't tried with upgrades yet either.
I can add you to the list. Just PM me your gamer tag if it isn't already in your GAF profile.
Thanks for the update, I'll adjust the spreadsheet as well as the main post.
Double checked and it is required. I guess everything was sorted out but I definitely recall giving an F430 a fresh pink paint job.

Well, shame on me for not noticing until now then, after making a huge deal of it being wrong in Fm3 and GT5. This certainly settles the Fm4 vs Gt5 debate once and for all.
Also: car in the shadow - crank up exposure = generally amazing photos.
Car: H1 Alpha (A530)
Track: Maple Valley Full Circuit
Previous World Record: Unattempted
New World Record: 1:50.921*
(*dirty lap, but no rewind)
I'm actually surprised it's anywhere near that time, heh. Also surprisingly easy to get into a catastrophic rollover, even with a "race" weight of 6,000lbs+. It sounds like a a piece of industrial construction equipment with all the modifications.
Excellent! There's something about Tsukuba in particular that lends itself to great pics.
Thanks for the comments.
Nice pics, enzo, I really like the Impala one !
Tsukuba has always been the most realistic looking track in all Forza. Even during FM2's bloom fest, you could get some decent shots there. Some textures are showing there age though, mostly the skid marks (as seen in the group shot in the bottom right). The terrible filtering doesn't help either. :-/
Hopefully next gen Forza will have 16x AF along better textures, it will be god sent in photos and replay !

What is it?
So as some of you are aware I am trying to put together a group of ForzaGAF members to come together and help one and other in getting the ridiculous achievements that are Ferrari Collector and Exclusive Taste.
Who is it?
This is open to all to join in on and our current interest stands at:

How will it work?
The way I have envisioned this working is by recording who owns what car (so as to ensure it makes it back to its owner), and then keeping track of who currently has the car. It will start with one person having all the cars sent to them, and then they will be passed on to whoever is next in line.
Current Situation
I've made a spreadsheet to help with recording vehicle ownership and possession as well as to outline the cars we will need: Guide to Tracking Ownership of Cars
Readme.txt
Side Notes:
- You cannot gift cars that were purchased with tokens!
- To gift cars you must have that person on your friends list!
- All cars have been accounted for at this point. We are not missing any. We don't need any help but you are welcome to join.
- If you already have the cars then that is great for you. The group of cars will be moved around together. NO EXCEPTIONS!
- Friend Requests on Xbox DO NOT appear like they used to. You must go into friends menu to see them.
- ADD THE PERSON BELOW YOU BEFORE THE CARS GET TO YOU TO MAKE THINGS FASTER
- More to come I'm sure...
Status Update:
- Snack misgifted the Ferrari Enzo and Ferrari 330 P4 (waiting 2 weeks for the return)
- DasRaven has offered his 330 and enzo to keep things moving along
- Looks like we have cleared the list. If you are wanting to get on the list speak now or forever wish you had.

I will definitely be hosting the races today, but don't expect a lot out of me. I had some pretty bad dental surgery this weekend so I am in constant pain and will probably be drugged up for the races.
Currently I am watching Senna on Netflix (for like the 10th time) because I can't sleep with the pain. Hopefully I will be coherent and awake for the races today.
Good luck to everyone!

I managed a 1:49.977, clean lap even. (i don't use rewind either)My PI was only 525... I could've done better, I was on 2 wheels on the 2nd to last turn. But you're right It's way easier roll than I imagined, being so heavy and wide. It's not as bad as I would've thought though. I also.think its hilarious that its so big that its casts its own shadow completely over the hood. (i drive in hood view most the time)

Just sent all the cars over to you and I updated the spreadsheet.
Thanks again Guest for setting this up!
Awesome I'll get home around 430-5pm so I will send them over to the next person a little later today
seconded. Gorgeous
also, @ op_ivy, that first shot you got there looks real good. I love shots where you can sort of see the progression of the line cars are taking. Nice work

The lobby is open for anyone who wants to get in early.
That's pretty good! I tried a few more laps trying to stay clean and couldn't get back to 1:50. Maybe I'll tune it a bit and try again later.

I been messing around with my capture card and found a way to keep the car in colour while 98% of the scenery is black and white, the results:
Works in motion too.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
This is pretty spiffy. At first I thought maybe it only coloured whatever is in motion on your screen but if it works for photos too then I have no idea.I been messing around with my capture card and found a way to keep the car in colour while 98% of the scenery is black and white, the results:

Hahahahaha, I just fired up Forza again after supper, and found I'd won some auctions - for A600 SUVs that I was going to test for this afternoon's race...
