ugh, anyone notice how bad the c5 looks on forza2 ? Granted, all I've found so far is the "gulstrand edition" of this gold c5 w/ aci skirts, it is rendered horribly on forza2. Anyone unlocked any other versions of the c5?

 

Haven't a clue.

I'd rather drive the real thing than play video games.

 

How is it??

 

Some of us drive the real thing and play video games.
I believe this thread is for us.
I play from the bumper cam on most racing games so the rendering doesn't bother me much.
I haven't unlocked any other version though.

 

some of us have different hobbies than others.


anyways...is the game a decent one? i ususally dont play driving games but i might for this one...

 

I sell video games and drive my vette. Best of both world. Picked Forza 2 today, but have no time to play because of Vette gtg in 15 minutes. Got to do a quick z6 spray down. all dusty.

 

What's with the hostility? Obviously most of everyone on the forum drives a real one (c5) in real life , but in real life I cannot pit it against some of these cars and it's so much fun online you can play against people, friends, family.

So far, it's awesome although the c5 representation not so much. Im using the C6Z06 for pretty much all of my races. The thing is a BEAST and pretty similar to what the real driving experience is like.

The sweetest thing about this game is that it allows you to use 4 screens (but you have to have 4 consoles and 4 tvs) to represent a 180 peripheral view and a rear view mirror.

I may wait to find some used deals on 360's to get a couple more consoles as this would be the ultimate driving simulator Going to fry's now to get a force feedback wheel.

Here is a good review link, and you'll see pics like belo where they setup the demo at the 12 hour American lemans earlier this year, and had official Ferrari team drivers play it. Reviews from those drivers came back very positive in realism, and they said that their lap times was almost exactly identical in the game as to what they resulted in real life on that same track.

I'm 43 and still play video games

I like driving games but I can't put down Gears of War yet. Summer is here now so don't play much, but when winter comes I'm all over Forza 2

 

I don't have it but the guy that navigates for me when we Open Road race says it is great and he can't put it down.

I've purchased the 2002 Z06 and won the LPE Aerobody C5 and they both look much better than the Gulstrand. I put some black rims and 315/30/18 Michelin tires on my torch red car and it looks just like my real one. Except the one in the game is making 660hp n/a.

The game even has Fikse and HRE as wheel manufactures for adding aftermarket rims to your car. Funny enough, there is a race C5 in the game that actually has black center CCW rims, but I can't find a way to buy them yet.

I'm using the MS force feedback wheel and a Playseat on a 60" 1080 Sony. Let's just say I haven't gotten to sleep before 3am since last Wednesday.

 

Forza is awesome!! I am 38 addicted to xbox 360 and modding my vette I am sure some day they will have a group to help me but until then

 

so for those of you that have both the car and the game, how close is the car behave vs real life? c5, c5z, and c6z

 

You can get a normal c5 z06.

Forza 2 is awesome. Much more realistic than that Gran Turismo playstation garbage. The forza designers don't have fast and the furious on the brain. Corvette actually is better than a Supra in Forza, just like real life.

Also, it's fun to mod the heck out of a c5 to high hp but not change the factory tires! Very realistic results.

 

you will unlock the 2002 Chevrolet Lingenfelter 427 Corvette when you get first in all of the races in the Big Block Shootout

 

I have the

96 Grandsport
Stock Gulstrand
Lingenfelter 427
867 H.P. Maggie (looks like a KB though) C5
955 H.p. Twin Turbo STS C6

I think they look fine.

 

what aerobody kit is that? the headlights look awesome

 

what happens when you do that?

 

Basically you and your car go up in smoke.

 

great game, have not played live yet. stops me doing other things i should be doing though

 

You gun it off the green light at immediately get sideways.
