Honda Integra Question

[TW]Fox · 17 Jun 2007 at 21:22

Can anyone who drives a Honda Integra and plays Forza Motorsport 2 please answer a quick question for me?

Is the handling on the game realistic?

If so. OMG, Integras are absolutely brilliant :cool:

fm2 is not a full sim and its still a game...so probably not

not even the physics in live for speed are "perfect"

Best way, go for a test drive from an importer garage?

Is there an Elise in Forza?

No, becuase I would die.

Sure is.

530i with scary moon mileage value = £7500?
Decent Integra DC2 value = £7500?

I think you know what you have to do.

Just test a red one, ninja badgers can't see red

That said, I too am too scared to test one because I might buy it. Then die.

Your time will come if you work hard and your priorities don't change. Most people I know in their 40s had dream cars when they were 18 but by the time they could afford them they'd grown up and had better things to spend the money on... like a house extension or new share portfolio.

plan is to run my current car into the ground over 2 years, it will owe me nothing and can, assuming i dont wreck it, sell it for as much as i paid for it, then get something with a little more grunt, prob still a small hatch though depending on work, if by some miracle im earning a semi-decent income then a "fun" car may end up on the cards within the next decade hehe

although I haven't played Forza 2, I have driven a DC2 teg.

and it was absolutely brilliant. I am a RWD snob, but I would so love a teg, it really doesn't feel much like a FWD car.

I was thinking the same thing when I was playing the game. The Integra stuck to the road like glue but what I noticed was that the cornering speed was considerably better than the other cars I've tried so far.

There were other cars quicker than the Teg along the straights but it more than made up for any lost time and some when it came to the corners.

Absolute rubbish, can't handle for peanuts. Must be the game!

*This may or may not be true*

Purely game wise I was playing with a Nissan 200SX, great fun, back end out all the time, really twitchy.

Then came the Teg. Just... mash the accelerator, yay!

Clearly not that realistic then. In any front wheel drive car throttle input is very important if you want to get anywhere fast.

Live for Speed is the closest to real life race sim there is and while not perfect it's pretty darn close

Shame Forza is only on xbox360 and not PC, the game looks awesome and I'd love to play it with my G25

Oh it wasn't fast when I did that, but I didn't bounce off the armco

The game must be pretty realistic, all the American cars are crap

Physics aren't the very best, but for a console (and using the wheel) it's pretty damn good.
