I am a GT fanboi, but I have spent a number of hours playing Forza 3 when it came out. I stil far prefer GT, I think its just the tracks and the cars physics, just feel so much better to me. I do have to admit, the Ai pisses me off. They follow the line to a t, and hardly give you room, unless you are dead nuts side by side with them. I dont know, overall I am happy with my purchase, as say compared to MW2, that I dont touch. I will play GT5 through to completion, so $65 well spent for me. > [@To the Silver STi trying to play with the red GTO](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/to-the-silver-sti-trying-to-play-with-the-red-gto/37425/29): > > Correction: I get out of work tonight at 10PM, maybe around or before midnight Ill make a private shift race if anyone else is up.

The physics are the best hands down, I’ll give the game that. Driving with the wheel and all the aids turned off its a real simulator. However EVERYTHING else is meh. Yeah they have 1000 cars, but 800 are imported from prior games with no changes. Yeah it has damage as well, that you have to play for 20+ hours to get to. From my understanding it doesn’t even have a race restart button? ---

FYI you can’t turbocharge the gallardo 570 i was pissed when i spent 250k and found that out. r8 v8 with turbs is cheaper and pretty much just as fast.
