To all you gamers out there. Forza Motorsport 3 is going to have a 1990 IROC-Z on the car list. If you have never played Forza, i can tell you that it is an AWESOME simulator with the most real physics and tuning of any game out there. Check out the IROC detail on these actual game photos..
I am excited.

I cant wait. Always played need for speed, so Forza 3 with the IROC is going to be new to me. going to be sweet

 

forza is more like the Gran Turismo games on the playstation. You can tune everything from tire pressure, to spring rates, to swaybars. There are tons of engin mods too. I bought my first xbox just to play Forza1 and my 360 just for Forza 2...the release date is 10/27/2009

 

10/27/2009. Yeah i know. The release was the 22nd at one time right? All I know is ill be going to best buy first thing in the morning on the 27th before i head to my office.

 

I preordered my collectors edition for the extra cars it gives you and vip member access for dlc cars.

Also looking forward to building up the 1987 GTA T/A to race against the Iroc Z both with ls7 swaps and see what they do in drag race mode.Hopefully we can even swap in the ZR1 motors and go crazy with that.....Icthing for the realease.

I gave up waiting for Gran Turismo 5 for PS3 to come out.Im sure it will be great when it does in a year or 2 later and I can use my logitech g27 on it lol

 

i wasn't impressed with the Gturismo for PSP. It has no career mode or car modding. Thats my favorite part of the game! Im gonna try to make the IROC in Forza3 look like my 91 z28... i wanna build a Night Rider GTA with turbo LS7 if possible... I bet we can make the third-gens own the B class.

 

HOLY CRAP! That looks darn good, the graphics and the cockpit look so real. Damnit! why did i have to get the ps3. lol now i need a 360 blah.

 

I loved Forza 2 so much. The 80s mustang is in this game too... anyone know if there's thirdgen firebirds in it? That would make greattt racing tournaments.

 

Yes there is an 87 gta.

 

why can there be any good cars on PC games?
grrr

 

They got Fox body stangs too? That will be awesome. I was checking out some reviews and found out that there is a 5 second rewind feature. i dont know how many times i lost a 15min race on the last lap just because i missed 1 turn. I think there will be 100 real tracks too.

 

I'm so happy they finally put in some other cars besides the 67 and the newest generation of Camaro. It's gonna be great having a garage full of f-bodys Vetts and the the Buick Grand National.

 

I'm so excited for this. Forza is the best racing game out there.

 

Have you guys seen the videos on youtube of ppl modding the 02 transam with the zr1 motor and putting twin turbos on that puppy...sweet lord time isnt going fast enough for the game to reach my console lol.the best part is how much you can customize the cars appearance and performance.I will have a nice garage of 3 or 4 of each fbody,vette,stang,and buick.stock,street,race,and show stopper lol

 

Maybe my eyes are bad, but from the pics in the link it has 15" tires?

 

Hope there's a t-top version too and a 1986 version so I can see my awesome third brake light on the rear window.

 

Thats what im saying. got to love the third brake light on the hatch glass. My favorite year.

That's what I've got on mine, looks so awesome at night.

 

So it's supercharged and twin turbo'd... that's pretty awesome slash not realistic(good thing it's a game) lol

 

I can't believe no PC version of this game.

 

You dont even know how long i've been waiting for a really good racing game with a freaking third gen camaro in it. Gran Turismo had the 88 concept but that wasnt good enough. This is basically a dream come true.
Forza 2 was amazing i cant wait to see how kick *** this will be.

 

Just to clarify that if you swap in the ZR1 motor and then twin turbo it,it does remove the supercharger so it is realistic.But Id rather twin turbo the ls7 hehe

 

you can put a nascar motor in the iroc sweeeeeeeet

 

I fully modded out the trans am and the camaro, totally awesome. Although racing the buggati veyron on the half mile track is equally as amazing...

 

Interior looks horrible IMO. There is no texture at all on anything!

 

the game is already 2 discs i cant imagine if they added anymore stuff to it. You barely see the interior so its not all bad. At least they have something.

I pleased to see iroc-z's pulling over 1.2gs full decked out.

Its also funny how the largest size back tire you can have is a 295 when plenty of people are running 315s.

 

Here's a tip/trick to enhance the Cockpit view.

By adjusting the FOV Levels in the Multiscreen Setup (worked in FM2 aswell) you can move the cockpit view back to around GT5p view or even more!

As you can see default is crappy as you cant see the side mirror and only a part of the rear view mirror, 62 degrees is pretty much perfect and 90 is way too far (you can see end of arms)


default:


62 degrees:


HOPE THIS HELPS YOU GUYS!!

 

Now if they had Blu-Ray lol. But I won't get into that. IMO the interiors of the car while they look good they lack detail. Also, why aren't there any Shifting animations?

 

Would you rather them spend hundreds of hours on tuning the physics and cars, or spend hundreds of hours for doing the shifting animation for EVERY single car. And sure the interiors don't have super awesome textures, but it still looks smooth and good.

 

Let's be real here. It doesn't take 100's of hours to do animations for shifting as the shifter is pretty much in the same 2 spots - floor or steering wheel. Same thing goes with the E-Brake.

 

The game is awesome so far. For those of you that have the game, we should try to get a 3rd gen, or camaro racing night.

Anyone interested?

 

It takes forever to model, then to lay the textures on, then to give it animation, multiplied by the 400 cars. Plus you have to add in how fast the guy's shifting, or what it's suppose to look like when you rapidly go to 1st and 5th to reverse gear, etc. etc. trust me it takes a long gurl tyme.

 

*sigh* I'm really not going to get into this.

 

how are you able to take a pic of the interior during a race?I dont see that as an option when i go into photomode?

 

That pic is straight from Turn10.

 

aww that sucks.. i could of had some pretty cool pics from the incar view lol

 

well you could always take pics with the hud off and a camera lol

 

Tell me about it! This is killing me. I've heard it will be around Christmas that it will finally it the shelves, but that's still so far away... lol

I agree. It's too smooth. Then again, I also prefer the older dash style.

 

GT5 will be coming out March 2010. Mark your calendars.

 

I gotta ask all of you fellow thirdgenners/gamers on this thread....HOW IS YOUR SLEEPING SCHEDULE?..Mine went out the window the day forza came out.I wanna beat it and have every car soon just incase gt5 comes out for xmas Ill have time to play it

 

Mine is perfectly fine. Don't care about F3 plus I don't have 2 discs to waste on this game

COD:MW2 is what I'm waiting on.

 

My sleeping schedule has gone to hell since I've started college. Lately I've given up all my computer gaming and only do a little on my PS3. Most of my time is spent either studying or surfing the web for all kinds of tech. I've been pretty active lately on two other forums because of the motor I plan on putting in my IROC-Z this Winter and the motorcycle I plan on building next Fall. Because of all this, I'll get ~5 hours of sleep on the weekdays and ~9 hours on the weekends. I can't wait for Thanksgiving break. Hopefully I'll get my deer on opening weekend and then I can spend the rest of my time building stuff for my car.

 

i haven't been able to reply to this thread since ive been playing! The third gen can compete all the way up to R3 racing cars with all of the mods. I wish there was a way to get my racing replays on my PC so i could make some vids. i also want to make license plates.. anybody do this yet?

 

Cant you save the videos to the hard drive of the 360, then transfer the files from the hard drive to a flash drive. Then plug the flash drive into the computer, host them on photobucket or your preferred site, and paste the url here?

 

You can make movies in the game and I believe you can upload them to forza.net..from there download them just like your pics on forza.net aswell.I havent tried the movie part yet.but works good for the pics so far

 

my virtual camaro is way more badass than my real camaro....kinda like how im way more cool over the internet than in real life

 

LOL tell me about it. I was up till 4 in the morning playing the game.....

 

Right now I have one Camaro with around 850hp.

Some pics:

 

Sooo. I setup an iroc with everything that mine has and im proud to say it handles extremely well for the little mods. Over 1 lateral g on street tires.

Mods
-Fully adjustable suspension
~set to eibach prokit spring rates 714/177 (109-177 progressive)
~ ride height is set basically all the way up
-Fully adjustable sway bars
~set to 36mm front and 24.5mm rear
-17in five spoke rims w/ 275/40/17 STREET tires
-medium frame support (strut tower braces subframe connectors)
-medium wight reduction (speakers, A/C, rear seats etc.)

I think thats it for suspension and frame.

So yup i really hope my car in real life will handle this well on a track as it does in a video game. Talk about virtual tuning. Time to tinker : )

 

That should easily be doable. Without the subframe connectors or strut tower brace on my car and old/hard 245/50/16 street tires, I was doing 0.96 lateral g's. My biggest concern with that setup is all the oversteer you will probably get with a 1" rear bar. I'm running a 21mm rear bar at the moment and it is still a little tail happy. I'm hoping to drop the roll center and make an adjustable rear swaybar this winter.
