You cannot go wrong with Forza 3. The driving/physics model and framerate is so butter smooth, you just feel like part of the road. Love it. I was a little disappointed in the graphics, especially when compared to NFS Shift. I really enjoyed NFS Shift's graphics and cockpit view and special effects, but the driving control just is lacking to Forza 3. Both are great in their own ways.

If we could take the best elements of both games and put them into one, that would be a truly special driving experience. As it is this season, Forza is the smoothest driving experience, but NFS Shift might be the most fun.
