on Forza if you add exhausts and things do you actually see them when you race?

Its good, but not as good as GT4 overall IMO. Its nice to see your car smashed up after a big impact, the AI is decent as well. Its also nice to have more than 5 opponents, and im quite liking the engine conversions you can do. I have an MR2 turbo engined corolla AE86, tuned to 424bhp, drift weapon 
but GT4 has better menu system and the tracks are more intresting and detailed, Nurburgring for example is like a direct copy of the real thing on GT4, on forza its almost unrecognisable in places.

Yeah your probably right. I only played for a few mins. Comparing it to GT4 doesn't help, its a different game.
I don't know my username for Xbox Live but i'll find it.
I have a Mic but never use it, its embarassing!!

haha just shout abusive language at them on the mic... most of them are only 12 - so it's good warping their minds.
tbh I wish I could be playing this - haven't played a online racing game for years

its a good game online, i enjoyed it last nite, as most people think its need for speed or something, and if u stop for a corner, you have a good chance of winning

what i wrote about it on my site, the 1st nite i played the game, over a series of posts..........
im actually liking this game, not sure if its better than gt4, but like on gt4, ive only got shitty slow cars so far, so prob get better as i get better cars.
The 'b spec' seems better than gt4, u gotta drive tracks, and it learns how u drive, so when u want to use it, it drives like you do.
Playing over xbox live is fun
time for another update...
1stly, there is no licenses to do like gt4, so its buy a caqr, get in it and race
the game itself is nowhere near the size of gt4, ive completed 6.3% of career mode already, and 3.2% of arcade mode, but lets be honest, gt4 was huge, and how many people got over around a 1/3 of the game??
The sound in this seems alot better too, for example, the scoobys in gt4 didnt have that flat four rumble, (which i dont like btw) where as on here, they have the rumble. I been flying around in a modded Lancia Delta, and the turbo spool up and the dump was mint
Another point is when u win a car, its actually useful for a different race, not like in gt4 when u did the porsche race, then won a porsche, or the bmw race and won a bmw, whats the point of that??
thats all for now, i shall report back with more findings as i get them.
oh, have u got an xbox like david? or if your gunna get one to play this, and u get xbox live too, you can create a 'car club' online, where you have your little gang racing for the same club/team, seems like a pretty neat idea.
oh something i forgot to add, the crash damage on it is pretty good, ive had bumpers hanging off and stuff. Had a crash at the start of 1 race, and had to drive a full 3 lap race, with my car pulling to the right
Also if u use manual gearbox, and u keep hitting the limitter, it slowly kills your engine so you dont have any power. i drove round in 1st bouncing of limiter till engine turned red, stopped, and set off, and took a good minute to get up to the redline in 1st gear

That's so true about Gt4... Wtf was the point in doing a Porsche race to win a porsche etc... you buy a porsche - mod it so you can win... then race and get a car back that's worth less than your mods...

Been playing Forza a bit more and it's actually quite good. Prefer the style of driving, you can give the cars a bit more stick going into corners and slide alot more.
I prefer the menu system on GT4 though, its alot more involving.

when u mod your car, it changes the class of it. with u modding it so much, it may be now class b or something. go to garage, and u will see what class it is i think in the top left of screen
