Forza 3 game night - part 2

[Kabob]

They are overpriced...but man they're gorgeous.

T3h dream!

 

[fbrdphreak]

I didn't say overpriced. You get what you pay for. Just too expensive for me!

Someone at work put up a flyer trying to sell his 06 Cayman. I'm afraid to put a flyer up selling my fiancee's 2000 Altima. A $3-4K car compared to a $30K car! Hah

 

[Kabob]

No, they are overpriced; they've got the higest profit margin of any car company in the world. The $120K Turbo should honestly be around $75-85K.

The name is so powerful though that people will pay that premium for 'em.

 

[Hopeless]

There were 5 of us but we broke up right after 9PM Central. I saw you get online, it was maybe 10 mins after we'd quit.

Didn't you get the memo about having to keep the game going until I get there?

 

[Kabob]

Well if you got there sooner we wouldn't have this issue!

I know you're busy though.

 

[Kabob]

PM'd Waldo last night about picking a car, haven't heard back yet. If we don't hear from him by the end of the day I'll make a pick (I'm up the following week).

 

[fbrdphreak]

Cool, thanks. Would be good to have time over the weekend to test & tune

That sounds good. If he doesn't respond later today I'll swap you two around on the list. Don't know how much test & tune time I'll have, but it's a bit easier sometimes working it in on the weekend.

 

[Kabob]

Waldo got back to me, said for me to go ahead and choose. And so I shall...

The series that never happened week:

Cars will be built per our mythical Forza 3 Endurance Series specs (found here).

1. Car must be A600 PI level
2. Car must be RWD
3. Forza Aero (Front and Rear) Required
4. Must in car list below:

• Aston Martin DB9 Coupe
• Audi R8 LMS
• BMW E46 M3
• BMW E92 M3
• BMW M3 GTR
• Corvette C5 Z06
• Corvette C6 Grand Sport
• Corvette C6 Z06
• Dodge Viper Competition Coupe
• Dodge Viper GTS ACR
• Ferrari 360CS
• Ferrari F430
• Ferrari 458 Italia
• Ford GT
• Ford Mustang GT
• Jaguar XKR-S
• Lamborghini Gallardo
• Lamborghini Murcielago
• Lamhorghini Murcielago LP640 (for famous...)
• Mazda RX-8 Mazdaspeed
• Nissan R35 GT-R (if there's a RWD swap)
• Panoz Esperante GTLM
• Porsche 911 Sport Classic
• Porsche 997 Turbo (w/RWD swap)
• Porsche 997 GT3 RS
• Saleen S281E

Not all of the cars have been tested, I don't know if they all meet the PI cap and such, if they don't meet one of the requirements above they get the axe.

Also, since it's my week and I reign supreme (mwahaha!) we will be running an extended mini-enduro or two (maybe 20-25 min long race), so be ready!

 

[fbrdphreak]

YEAH BABY! BRING IT BIOTCHES!!!

Seriously, I'm just excited, this sounds like some real fun. I'm gonna need to get more credits, haha

 

[ivan2]

you need the put the LP640 back in there.

 

[Kabob]

you need the put the LP640 back in there.

No I don't...I'm considering giving the ridiculous Gallardo the axe as well! D:

 

[Hopeless]

What's rediculous about the Gallardo?

 

[Kabob]

famous + Gallardo = race over D:

 

[Kabob]

you need the put the LP640 back in there.

Why'd we take it off the old list in the first place??

 

[EightySix Four]

Not too much difference, but can I use a 997 GT3 non-RS? I already have a reasonable tune for my 997 GT3.

 

[Kabob]

We axed last time because it doesn't have any rear aero upgrades.

 

[EightySix Four]

Ah, ok. Another car it is.

 

[Kabob]

It was a good day. Called up my buddy and spent the day with he and his wife, got to drive his 2002 Viper GTS and 2007 C6 Z06. Also, there were several car shows in town today, saw a Murcielago LP640, Aston Martin DB9, Porsche 997 GT3 RS (first RS I've ever seen in person), and a Ford GT.

Viper was pretty spartan but I liked it a good bit. It felt a little odd at speed but never like I was out of control. Z06 was about as compsed as my Honda Civic...that thing was easy to drive but MAN it's got some thrust! Lots of fun!

 

[fbrdphreak]

That's not a good day. That is a GREAT day.

 

[EightySix Four]

I think I may do a C6 GS then, what are you guys building?

 

[Kabob]

I'm not sure yet. My 360 CS is a great car but there are so many other options...I'd love to make a decent Porsche, not sure if it'll be able to keep up.

 

[ivan2]

we didnt axe the 640 lol

 

[overst33r]

z06, gt3rs, 360, fgt, gallardo,

BTW. The R35 GTR adds points when you make it RWD, so it won't qualify as its 650+
