Re: Forza 2 Discussion

Worth it! I haven't spent the first second online and im all over this game. (wasted my 48hr free live.. activated it and then never tried any online racing )

I have the free 48 hour code that came with my game. Let me know if you want it.

Re: Forza 2 Discussion

What Jistic said. Although it would be a good idea to not get carried away with too much tuning since you'll eventually have to do Factory Spec races in high-performance stock sports cars in single player Career mode.

Anyway... if you guys think Corvettes are tough to drive, wait until you have to race in the TVRs. The 'vetts are tame to drive in comparison to these lightweight beasts.

TVR's are insane. They were real loose in almost any game I've played them in.

Re: Forza 2 Discussion

What brake and throttle deadzone percentages is everyone using with the wheel setup?

Steering:

Inside Deadzone - 0%, Outside Deadzone 75%

Brake:

Inside 16%, Outside 96%

Throttle:

Inside 10%, Outside 98%

Feedback force - 100% (and wanting more)

Vibration force - 98%

Re: Forza 2 Discussion

now, I may have been a little more drunk than I thought I was last night, but I was going through the auction house and saw a sweet street fighter design on a regular fairlady z. The price was like 250,000 starting bid and a 700,000 buyout and I thought that was extremely high but then when I looked at the details, it said it was an all-wheel drive car. I decided not to buy it, thinking there would be other AWD Zs with designs I liked better.

Yet, I cannot find any AWD Zs to save my life. Is that a unicorn car in the game or was I just imagining things?

Not many people do the engine swap, so there probably won't be too many of them. The Mugen Integra that I use in C Class I changed to an AWD as well.

what is this engine swap you speak of?

Don't know if it's necessarily called an engine swap, but to the right of the turbos and supercharges is where it's at on the upgrade part. It lets you change your engine or something because you can switch your car to an AWD or FWD or whatever. I've only done it on one car and it actually allowed me to make it better than it could with the stock engine.

ah man, I never knew what that thing was and it seemed like it made my cars worse so I never bought that upgrade. Think I'll give it a try.

It's the "Powertrain" option, and I think it's predominately in the Asia region!

it made your car worse because it makes all your current upgrades invalid. So if you swap engines, you basically have to buy new upgrade parts you already bought. You'll still have all the parts you purchased, but you'd have to swap the stock engine back in.

First thing I did to my Z too, give it AWD.

Re: Forza 2 Discussion

Well I think I'm done with single player. It's just too damn frustrating with the A and S cars, and the AI is annoying as hell (especially that M. Rossi prick). I love online, but the Time Trials and Career have pretty much worn out their welcome. Plus, racing for an hour on an endurance race (or any long race) only to get spun out at the end is just annoying as hell!

Re: Forza 2 Discussion

anyone want a 1973 porsche 911 carrera RS? The game gave me it for free a while back, but I bought another one painted up off the AH. I don't really see the need for two in the same class.
