Did you go into your garage and get it because it would have been there. You must have grabbed it from the standard selection of cars where they are organized by Make.

I'm over Level 10 (11 right now) - phew!
I tried playing career tonight, but I cannot tear myself away from Rivals. It's a great way to see tracks I've yet to visit in World Tour, practice my racing skills (they're lacking) and get a thrill from beating club members' times.
I hot lapped the Senna rivals challenge tonight and it was such a rush. The stress of beating a time and keeping a lap clean; it's exciting and terrifying at the same time. I hit a rhythm at one point and just nailed some of the turns.
I've played 6 hours or so of Forza 4 since Wednesday and have barely scratched the surface of what's in there. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Yes, it is.
And I think I beat one of your times tonight. Either that, or I couldn't beat it. I'm too tired to remember!
I just booted this up today and started. It's really, really good. I'd wanted to play Forza 2 or 3 but never really did. The progression through the World Tour (and I've only done like the first five races) seems very compelling and engaging. I feel a bit scrubby using some assists, but I've never played a more sim racer for any extended periods of time. I've always loved the idea, but never felt hooked by them at all.
I better get myself a Speed Wheel ASAP!

Sure, the upgraded car is in my garage. It's also my currently selected car, the one that has name and PI displayed on the bottom of the screen in most any menu.Mizzou Gaming said:
But when you start a rivals event, you're prompted to select a car. You can't not select a car. And at least in this particular event, the only cars it gives you to choose from are cars in their default state with no upgrades. After you've selected a car you're in the race and can no longer change anything, aside from loading a tune file.
Please tell me what I'm missing here.
I know! But my rival in this event had an A600 car, and the same model in its default state is A530-something. If I want to race the same car, I need to buy the car, upgrade it, save a tune file, start the rivals event and choose the car in its default state, go into the race and load the tune file to bump the PI up.sneaky77 said:

Dude awesome! Downloaded and highest rating.H3rTz DoNuT said:Didn't check the thread lately, I was working my ass off to finish the next paint before the end of the weekend, crazy amount of hours to get it done by the end of it but it's finally here, 2010 Hasemi Motorsport Tomica Z for 2003 Fairlady Z street car. There is also a tune with proper body parts on my storefront, so if someone is going for the paint, make sure to get the tune. Couldn't really take a good pictures, cause the car changes color with different angles but those who'll get the paint won't be disappointed, I'm really proud of this one. Any feedback and the good rating will be more than welcome. You guys gonna love it in the homespace, I'm pretty sure of it
Very excited
Took forever for me to get a racing setup but the pieces are starting to come together. Need to get a mounting solution for the pedals as well as getting the shifter mount for the side of the chair. Baby steps, now its time to actually become a better driver haha.Shaneus said:No worries! Just don't forget this when my name pops up as a rival
I'm coming for you tomorrow!

What event is this? I wanna take over the #1 spot too...
BoobPhysics101 said:
You bastard! My task is even harder now.
I did nail a 45.5xx but must have clipped the outside of the final corner by one pixel. Looked fine to me but uncertification is a bitch.
BTW, want to see somethng scary? Load up Daveyskills (currently top last time I looked) as your Rival in the Kia c'eed challenge. It's totally stock, so you know you both have identical parts and tunes. I can stay with him on the first straight until the first gear change, during which he gains a car length and a speed boost. Is that what using a clutch does? The advantage is immense! It's also real education seeing how he takes the bends (when he's still in sight, of course). Where the fuck he finds his grip from I'll never know.
Sure thing. It may take a while before we run into each other since I'm in the other club, but when I move over to GAF and you come out ahead of me, you can rest assured that it was because I let you.Shaneus said:No worries! Just don't forget this when my name pops up as a rival
Just like I'm currently allowing the fine folk in Positano beat me right now!

Yes, clutch can give you great control of slip and torque-curve, resulting with greater speed on exits.

Make sure you car have the require upgrade.
I want to play the game so bad but working the last three days (I already took 3 days off when the game came out so have to go back to work, especially when I am eyeing that new Fanatec wheel for upgrade).
May be you guys with rival grudge match should just race for pink slip ... loser gift winner his/her car.

Yeah, the clutch adds huge differences to straightline speed and corners. Seems like none of the GAF'ers I've raced use it, so I blow them away in the straights and also helps laptimes since your shifts are that much faster. I also use it in interesting ways like popping the clutch during certain weight shifts to break traction and slide around a corner easier where I don't want to grip it. It's fun being able to use it like I do irl.
I gotta check out Daveyskills, I keep hearing his name but haven't seen him race yet. He might tune his tire pressure in interesting ways.

Easier maybe, but also slower.
Really? Even on sequential/flappy paddle cars? Maybe I'll have to get used to using the clutch with the sequential box...BoobPhysics101 said:Yeah, the clutch adds huge differences to straightline speed and corners.

I can finally go pick it up in 30 minutes, that was a pretty long weekend :F .derFeef said:

Controller. Even with the controller it's far faster, you can see the difference in shift times visibly. It's dramatic.
I wish I had a Fanatec wheel, I could easily cut 2-3 seconds off every laptime if I could drive the way I'm used to instead of clicking buttons on a controller.

TBH I'm not sure how Forza handles those dual clutch/sequential setups, I'll have to check it out. You can push in the clutch on those though... perhaps they add in an artificial delay?
