I have just purchased, like many of you I'm sure, Forza 3 for 360. It's great especially the camaro's and TA's.

I think we should have a thirdgen racing night. We will each make a car as close to our thirdgen's as we can, maybe tweak them a bit mechanically of course and then have one big race night. Maybe once a month so if someone can do it now they can rent it later on. I'm thinking possibly sat. or sunday evening?

 

I still have to pick my copy up, but I'll be online on Friday and Saturday if anyone wants to race.

 

if you want post gamertag so others can find you

if you want a virtual version of your car post your pictures here. Here is an example of a 1982 indy pace car complete with t-tops I made



and my 83

Gotta love this game for having our cars in there...and they can do quite well with some good tuning.My 700hp twin turbo tpi motor chases down the ZR1 quite nicely

 

have you guys tried driving without any nannies ? everything off and manual tranny is the way to drive a thirdgen, and it cant hold traction for **** with anything over 500hp. maybe i need to learn to tune better. I think these cars are perfect C class though.

 

I have tried driving it hard with everything off and tried clutch......not smart lol.The torque these cars posses from 0-6000rpm is just a handfull to launch right without spinning too much or just boggin out of the hole.Great C class yes..and good drifters aswell with suspension tuning.

 

I also feel the same way. I turn all assists off, and I use manual /no clutch.

It is really rough to make them smooth in the corners, the main idea is smooth on the accelerator or you'll kick it sideways. I also lower the pressure in the tires and soften up the springs, and use it for drifting. It works pretty well. I have been using it for the best in class races and it's doing great. Feel free to check out and download the indy designs from my storefront.

 

Man I want this game. But whats with the tail lights on that maroon GTA? Where's the black grid?

 

Depending on the angle you take the pic makes it hard to see the grid.In the game the tail lights grid isnt very distinctive as Id like them to be.But Im usually driving in cockpit view

 

That interior shot makes me want to buy the game..it has soo much detail!

 

I'm not a big xbox fan but I will buy one just for this game!! very sick

 

You can take great pics..the only part that sucks is taking pics of the interior isnt possible...but here is a shot from my phone while paused

 

Wow you can get a serious cowl on that TA. The cowl you get for the camaro's are pretty small especially in comparison. Must be hard to anticipate corners with it covering the half the windshield

 

well this one i have is only meant for the straight line...i ned some good drag setups though for it.got my *** handed to me online racing even with the twin turbo zr1 motor in its place..i cant get the damn thing to hookup right and bog the launch and get killed uptop too :O

 

So who is making the TGO decal up top of this page? Make it just like that, or I will attempt to do so myself.

gamertag = Sinester ROOKie

I have since updated the looks. Have aerocatch hood pins, Ohiodrifting OD Nade, zodiac Scorpio, and am starting on my full body paint job. Just need the TGO decal.

Yes it is. When in replay mode change the camera view to Cockpit view, then take your pictures from the inside. Enjoy.

 

Yeah I have a PS3 so I guess I'm gonna havta wait until Gran Turismo 5 comes out. They are supposed to have like 10,000 cars available. Here's the complete list: http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforu...t-of-cars.html

I think the complete lists of Camaros and firebirds are impressive though, even though I'll prolly havta buy most of em.

 

wow 10,000 cars you know the load time its gona have plus how much space that **** is gona take on the hard drive lmao ps3 is waaaaaak lol

 

ill play add me

ladies and gentlemen would you be interested in a 3rd gen racing night sat. Dec 26 make the most accurate to your car if you have a v6 just go stock v8 and then your dream 3rd and a christmas special

 

im down. XBL= Mister Camaro

 

there is something seriously wrong with the foglights for the iroc's. they don't have any texture to them and look wierd.

i gotta get the game though, i'm totally getting a black iroc

 

That GT5 list is not real.

 

I would for sure be in on this.
Tag = SPEEDRACER47

EDIT: here they are



not to bad i think only took about 10 minutes

I love this game and have been trying hard as I can to design the TA Bird in the Create Vinyl

we will see

 

WOW! I had no idea third gens were in this game. I'll get it for sure. But I'm curiouse, can you just mod out a third gen camaro or T/A to your liking? Are there formulas by any chance?!

 

Well, I built my old hotrod in game. See a resemblance?
?

















Primary differences: Badges, the badges in the game all say iroc-z tuned port injection, mine said RS. The hood is not right, wheels are wrong, and finally between the fog lights mine said "Camaro" in teal.

Performance wise we built my car accurately in game, saved it, and then went nuts and made it into what it might be today.

I was impressed, a 383 with a cam and exhaust came to about 400 horsepower (My hot rod had 400 when I owned it), then I added my posi, stripped some weight out (I tore the AC as well as un-needed crap out in real life) and upgraded the trans so I could get the gearing right (I wanted 3.42). Came out to a class B, and handled like dog s***. VERY close to how the car felt IRL.

Then we went ahead and added a twin screw super charger, pulled out more wieght, and upgraded the suspension. Came out to a S class car rated at 600 I believe, keeping the 383.

My screen name on live is Loco Hosa, and I love taking this car on speedway challenges against lambos and other exotics. Me and my buddy spent a long time trying to tune it just right, but it still requires very careful throttle control.

I run no assists, but a suggested braking line. Simply because I am not hardcore v.v Manual, but no clutch, that is beyond me still.

 

Yes you can mod it however you want, wether it be by taking the 350 to the best it can be, or trading it out for an LS1, LS7, or LS9. (I believe) or you can even put a stock car engine in some of these. Its, AWESOME. You can mod it up which ever way you like.

The thing is you only have T/a and Iroc-zs. No formula or RS. This is something I wonder if they might change, just slightly re-skin a few of the cars and add in the base models. I would think it shouldnt be that hard, but I dont see it as being all that likely due to lack of demand.

 

That is awesome. Now I can mod my car how I want it and all it will cost is an Xbox 360 and this game. Waaaayyyy cheaper than real life. Haha. Probably less fun though. But less speeding tickets....

~Matt

 

Come to think of it.... when does Gran Turismo 5 come out and will they have thirdgens? I have a PS3 already so that would be even cheaper.

~Matt

 

supposedly they will, but IMO i wouldnt wait for GT5 since they're prob gonna push it back 10 more times

heres one i made, kinda like my but way cooler lol, i love those wheels

 

has anyone made a TGO logo for the storefront yet? it would be really sweet for us to have that

 

i have made one but i dont think i put it on storefront, ill go try now
id doesn't look exactly like it but super close, its in my 1st post above

EDIT; I made t-tops also pic in last pic post, ill put them up
only 1000 each, id do cheaper but thats low as u can go w/o being free and i srewed up my acct lol no monayy :s
XBOX NAME IS IN SIG

EDIT EDIT: my TGO logo isnt loading up, i think because i used a locked firebird logo, so ill start working on another one, ill let you know when its up the t tops are up now for 1k each unlimited just search tgo

EDIT#3 i got the logo up when workin on it for an hour look pretty good just look up tgo ull find the logo and my t tops i made 1k each they both pop up, oh and add me if you want gamertag= V8ReiM3R 88MaR0 (case sensitive )

 

I think we shoudl do something like every Thursday evening (or weekend if people are free)

We should totally have a TGO racing night!

but i take damage very seriously in game. dont ****ing hit my car. lmfao

 

And of course, GT5 gets pushed back until October. There better be 15 thirdgens in that game, or at least one 1986 Trans Am...

~Matt

 

hey im on here too!! find me MrSkittles25 would love to get a t top vinl and trade tunes. i have a 90 iroc with a ls9 twin turbo its a R3 class 770 power and 708 lbs not done yet! 2956lbs

Yeah I can try to get on, on Sunday maybe even tonight. Hm not the best on there just started mostly bust trying to make an ultimate third gen because me my not so good handling its mostly a speedway car lol. But I still like it. I'll try to remember to message you guys but if I forget just message me MrSkittles25

Yelllowtang24 it says your list is full?

 

Oh, sorry I will get on and add you in a bit here, I was trying to do some research into a little problem I am having with my real car. I will be on tonight racing, I have made a few really good tunes for the GTA and Iroc free of charge to third gen brothers of course.

Add me you guys, I have a bunch of 3rd Gens with different tunes and builds in this game.

My favorite is the replica of my dark green RS of course, lol

Can't wait for Gran Turismo 5 either, it's the whole reason I got a PS3. I bought it 6 months ago and it's just collecting dust, gets played once a month, if that. They need to hurry it up.

 

how do you make the gfx a different color in this game? i cant seem to figure it out. thanks

 

You have to use decals and stuff its not that hard just play around with it


On another note does anyone wanna play tonight? or even COD mw2? gamer tag>
