Okay Eastern NC, get off your duffs, and post in here. *points finger at blktrax*

 

Yea yea yea, keep pointin buddy, had that thing called work to do to support my habbit, then had to go buy beer. So shuddaaapppp. Never make beer mad, beer knows all.

So yea where we left off, no; Forza 2 isnt out till May 1st 2nd ish.

 

It looks like it's going to kick much ass. It will be my first racing game for the 360. I've stayed away from all the NFS titles. Forza has a rally cup right?

 

Ah Forza, dieing for it to be out!

 

I assume you start with a low end base car and work your way up in Forza? I've never played a Forza game and I'm curious as to how it is compared to a NFS game.

 

Damn me for being stuck in the middle of this state! Seems like all the NC people on here are either around raleigh, charlotte, or fayettenam. I know there is a red ss/sc in kernersville with a cobaltss.net decal on his windshield, but no clue who it is.

 

yo stink im moving to staley nc in 3 months and im dieing for forza 2, im trying to buy an hdtv for myself, my parents arent willing to share there 42 inch sony hdtv

 

It's the same way for Subaru's too. Everyone on the coast either don't frequent the forums or are too lazy to meet.

 

I just wanted to post my opinion on project K.I.T.T. It sucks.

 

does raleigh count as eastern?

 

Raleigh is close enough, I'm up in the triangle when I can get a weekend to do so.


Hey, StinkBOMB, New Bern Dragway is open Saturday March 24th, 12 to 5. http://www.newbernmotorsports.com/ I'm definatly going to be there. Couldnt make it down to J-ville this past weekend cause of what I told you before.

Also on Forza; Its structured like SCCA Racing, you startoff with $xx,xxx and start in the lowest class. As you add Mods, it bumps your class up. So if you dont do things like add Horespower or add, super sticky tires you stay in the same class. Simmmilar to Gran Turismo, not at all like NFS. NFS is pretty much run what your brung if you can afford it. Forza is designed to be Uber Simulation. There is only one Company I think took simulatuion too far.

Codemasters, TOCA Racing, right down to the point of being able to start shut off,the car, to use a clutch button, very realistic damage, like wheels falling off, tires exploding, total engine failure. But the menu structure and how it progressed was poorly exicuted, they tried to make a story line, and make it follow a racing season. Instad of like Forza and Gran Turismo where you can pick and choose where and when you want to run.

 

I love the Codemaster games like pro race driver and TOCA series. Great sims there but you can also make it not so bad. Only thing I mess in the last couple of TOCA games is the ability to set up your own race and what cars are in it. Been sweet to take the F1 cars in the last game and mix it up w/ other open wheel racers. One bad thing I hate is paying for the cheat codes but I do it anyway cause it lets me get everything and not have dance around trying to get to the next level and possibly racing a series that is just a pain.

Forza is nothing like NFS, Forza is along the lines of being what Gran Turismo is to the Playstation. I love taking a stock car and doing what you could do to it in real life provided you had the money or credits in the case of Forza. I used to play Forza for hours after beating it, mostly bought car after car and certain makes and tweaked them all to different levels. I believe I got one 20 Mr-2's in various forms from mild to wild along w/ som civics(big '99-'00 model fan).

 

Absolute best thing in forza is to not say anything in xbox live, go find a room with a bunch of drift kidz in it, make sure they run the downhill, and open a can of 1970 Dodge Challenger, or 69 Camero on them,

HAHAHA,

Holy Hell how do you get that thing to drift like that? Big Tires, Lots of neg camber, and a locked axle.... Mass and momentum are a great thing.

 

another eastern NC cobalt guy here....

 

So I'm pretty excited about this track day Saturday. Any Cobalts going? I miss hearing the wine of an S/C so someone for the love of God bring an SS S/C.

Oh yeah, thanks for the info on Forza Blktrax. I think I'll be picking up Forza 2 when it comes out.

 

What up mike, where are you at? New Bern here.


New Bern Dragway is open Saturday March 24th, 12 to 5 http://www.newbernmotorsports.com/

I'd head out to the track but I have a friend in town all weekend..gonna be drinkin like crazy

 

Are there any tracks in Wilimington?

 

Im in Asheville, anyone know what the closest track is to me?

 

There's probably one in Charlotte or RDU, all the ones local to us will be a 6 or 7 hour drive for you to get to.

 

no..closest one is up near jacksonville i think

 

Yeah Coastal Plains in Richlands. I was there one night and an older gentlemen with a Ranger that ran 12's mentioned he was from Wilmington. That Ranger was pretty bad ass.

 

im like in between fayettville and wilmington in the $hit hole known as bladenboro. lol fayettville has a nice track, and there is a place on the outside of lumberton thats pretty good also

 

yea a couple guys i used to work with who live in Wallace go to the track out there sometimes...

lol Bladenboro...I sold a truck to a guy that lived out there.

 

Off 17? Fayettenam is a pretty good drive from Actionville IIRC.
