Ran across this little car. This thing is wicked. Not sure how hard it would be to get this engine but im sure a rear engine swap would be kool using this engine.

old news. I remember when they were new!

Grand turismo is better.

Grand turismo is better.

I agree but im a xbox fan and they dont make it. I just thought this was a wicked car and would be a blast to drive in real life.

Grand turismo is better.

Why is it? I'm not doubting you. Just wanting an explanation. I'm on the fence right now. Xbox or PS3, Forza or GT? What makes it better, exactly?
Sorry that's probably too much of a thread-jack. PM me if you would.

I believe those are the cars that the SHOguns were inspired from

Xbox is better because of the technology it uses. A tricore CPU with a dual core GPU and it also runs DX11 for graphics were PS3 still uses DX9. DX stands for Direct X which is the graphics engine. I have always been a GT fan because thats all we had back in the days of sony I wish they made it for the xbox but its licensed under sony and has been since GT1. Forza is ok. I hate how they put everything into graphics and barely anything into physics. I mainly play forza because I like to drift.

The only reason I ran into this car was because a guy online told me it could ride a wheelie with the right tune and it does. 180+ mph on old le mans riding a wheelie is just funny!

[anomoly40]

I prefer PS3 because online play doesn't cost extra. I also prefer GT because they put everything into realism and none of that silly wheelie stuff described above.

As a console modder, I prefer XBOX because it is insanely easy to mess with. The case is so cut-able, the LEDs are so change-able, lots of aftermarket software support. Plus, the PS3 L2 and R2 triggers are curved the wrong way. Who designed that?

That said, I like how the PS3 doesn't need the HDD formatted when upgrading, and GT is a better game with physics.

I love Sony products but I gotta give it to exbox when it comes to forza vs gt, there's soo many more options as far as motor swaps and rice kits, if u played the original GT you have played them all

[anomoly40]

Well, those are the two schools of thought. If you want real handling physics and tracks mapped down to the inch, play Gran Turismo. If you want to make a ricer that pops wheelies, play Forza.

Personally, I got tired of Crusin' USA years ago. I want something that feels and acts real.

[mudder]

I remember when they were new also, If my recollection is correct they have two inches of rear suspension travel.
