Anybody else get Forza4 yet?

Any Ferrari is a good S class car, you can test them in stock form before buying if you go to free play.

My ZR-1 and my C6 Z06 both make pretty good S class cars. The Viper ACR does pretty good too.

I sent out a request to be invited to TGRM. Haven't gotten that back yet.

I did manage to beat you on a few drift rival challenges racerfink

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to recover my career save from the borrowed XBOX, so I had to start from scratch

Also, how the heck do I add more memory to this pig? It's a 4GB version and I don't even have enough space for the Disc 2, let alone all the DLC!

I just finally bit the bullet, went down to Gamestop, and bought a HD for it. All three in our family play videogames, I couldn't delete anything without risking ruining someone's game in progress.

So I can just buy a 250GB HD and plug it in? No issues?

Yep. When I bought mine, the only way you could get a 250gb was with the Kinect. So I bought a 4gb and a 250gb hd, stuck it in it's slot, and started her up, simple as that.

As for the club request, there's only four or five of us that can approve it, and I'm at work right now. Is it the same name as on here?

"TurboJavelin" is my XBL tag.

I just got done doing some Tuning for the D class. Getting sick of seeing 4-8 lime green sparks in the top spots...

Yeah, absolutely no reason to sell a car ever. It's free to change it back to stock, or back to any parts previously bought, and after a couple seasons of single player, you'll have more money than you could ever use and you'll get a number of free cars. Also, once you get a brand loyalty level to 4, all parts but wheels, body-kit parts, and conversions are free.

Also, tuning can turn an undrivable car into something workable.

Just maxed out my Chevrolet affinity yesterday. Once you get past level 30, it only takes 50k points for each level up.

I also have a tune on my storefront for an A class CTS-V.

Never got a club invite and didn't see anybody on last night. Are Sunday nights too hard? Should we do a weeknight?

I played a little yesterday. I'll be on tonight after I check in at my other job. Sometime after four probably. I may be on and off a bit. Always looking to play. Me and Dexter did some drifting the other day.

Nobody ever seems to want to run online. I'm sure most of the people who quit the club do so because we do no racing at all...

I think it comes down to setting solid times that work for a few people. Multiple times for multiple lifestyles. I used to play late. It was easier then. Now I'm up every day at 0500.

It's really hard for me to weekdays, but Saturday and Sunday mornings always seem to be free. A weeknight might be easier though. How's that Thursday night series doing?

Sunday is clear for me usually. Working two jobs and only day that is a sure thing is Sunday. This Sunday, though, I'm going out to have a little real racing fun.

Might I recommend you Xbox guys / gals run a league like the GT5 league? We'd be happy to share scoring and scheduling techniques.

Feel your pain, I'm in the same boat just a few time zones westward.

We had a system working, but the real problem wouldn't so much be the scoring, but the scheduling and that just needs to be worked out. Maybe I'll start a thread and we can all chime in on when we are available to play.

Hey all just a few comments...

Forza 4 is a pretty intense indepth game, you can really kill a day if you were so inclined... and online racing is fun, if you get in the right lobby...

Right now I am kind of stuck and in need of advice...I need the next level and I think its in my car...

I think in the team I am #5(coldnose) on the leader board for F class (were I usually troll).

I just have a hard time finishing first online. My lap times are about .5 seconds off the best.

I think my car does not have enough hp... 88 hp 107 and 100 hp spark...

Tuning tips are recommend, please?

In reply to Brokenbrakes:

If you can, try my F-Class Datsun 510. It's in the shared garage under my name (barrowcadbury). That should set you a pretty good baseline lap time to compare to. In that car, I'll outrun the AI on Professional level difficulty with no problems and can usually set a top 1-2% time after just a couple laps.

Here's a little discussion we had a while back on tuning tips: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/off-topic-discussion/forza-4-tuning-setups/43985/page1/

Oh, By the way...
