I've played both games lot (I own both consoles)

Forza is better in the majority of areas, especially regarding physics.

GT5 looks better but unfortunately that's about it.. sucks too, I had such high hopes for it as I love the way they do races in gran turismo series.

ive got gt5:prologue. forza 2 shits all over it. drifting in forza 2 is so much better.

Fair enough, but are you only saying that because its easier to drift on Forza 2 and its very hard on GT5?? I've been watching vids on youtube and to me it looks like its pretty easy to control the car drifting on Forza... where as on GT5 especially using the controller only its VERY VERY hard to drift a whole bend netheralone link 2 corners...

I've just recievd my G25 steering wheel so cant wait to do some proper sliding on GT5 tonight... :blink:

But yeah the slow car physics may be better on Forza 2, but to me it seems the whip lash in high speed drifting is much more realistic in GT5.

^^well ive been messing around with the drifting in gt5. Noticed that i can drift better in trial mode than

in drift mode :blink: which is weird. Cars shouldn't change the way they handle through different modes in a game, this isn't realistic.

That makes it more like nfs (shit). After a while the drifting in gt5 becomes quite easy (depending on what car). In all honesty by

owning both games, gt5 has higher quality level/car design but the car physics is what makes forza 2 a better game.

And by no means am i trying to say gt5 is crap, its not. Let's hope the final version kicks forza so i get a better racing game to live on :down:

Different driving physics from trial to drift mode?? There is nothing different at all dude..?

Only difference is in trial mode you complete laps and have a clock ticking to get the best times where as in drift mode u recieve points for ur slides.. there is no difference in car handling/physics what so ever.

The handling is only different when u change the car physics mode from 'standard' to 'professional'.

Also explain why the car physics are better in forza 2...? i honestly wouldnt know cos i havnt played Forza yet, id like to know as the medium hi speed physic in GT5 seem pretty damn good from what iv seen so far

not sure dude used the rx-8 in both modes, seems to drift better in trial mode.

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
