Forza Horizon still has something nice to say about the 370

I started playing Forza 4 last night for the first time. This is my second console. My first was a Coleco in the 1970's. This is a new experience. At

I started playing Forza 4 last night for the first time. This is my second console. My first was a Coleco in the 1970's. This is a new experience.

At the hard setting the car seems to handle better than my own car, yet I get very similar times as I do when drive Laguna Seca for real.

Where do I need to set the settings to make the car realistic?

Turn off the assists. Will cause brakes to instantly overheat and car to go into limp mode after the first corner, just like the real deal.

It's an addictive game....I just wrapped up all of the F class series races and the F class World Championship on the hardest competition setting with a Nissan Micra. I tricked out another Micra to run in the E class series....soooooo wicked fun. I "drive" a 370Z when I want to just log on and play without the stress of a full blown race.

I'll post a screen shot of my settings when I get home tonight.

Easiest way to get a decent setup is to just buy one (with in-game credits). Lots of cheap or free ones to choose from. If you don't like it, just get another one. Otherwise you can spend a lot of time upgrading, tuning and test driving. Tuning has quiet a learning curve when you're starting out. Just started messing around with the drifting... got my "Tire Shredder" tag last night. 1000hp 240sx makes it pretty easy.
