Yeah, unsure what's wrong with Forza 3's graphics tbh, they've always looked good to me. Even now with GT5 out they still look good.
It was always the game itself that I found became a bit stale. Needs better championship/game modes I think.

I despise the season play mode where I HAVE to do a race series in-between important races. Really breaks the flow. If I'm doing the R2 season, I don't want to have to be interrupted between each one to race a class E VW Rabbit/Similar...
I know I can just pick whatever I want to do, but it's good to work through the season play, winning cars/increasing levels, etc.

To improve the game:
Throw away the wavy arm gimmicks
Make your DLC car packs cheaper
Have some form of track editor
Tweak physics

- 1986 Dodge Shelby Omni GLHS
- 1970 Chevrolet El Camino 454 Super

That was the original list shame about the 2002 Turbo, De Tomaso, Starion and Omni, a small American hot hatch would have been interesting. I wonder if the RS500 is in factory road going spec with the second set of injectors/fuel rail disabled. I've seen a modded one of those back in the day picking the nearside front chassis leg up under acceleration.

The 2002 Turbo and Pantera are included in the pack. It's the M635CSi and Syclone that were missed. Not too bothered about the Syclone, but the M6 is a bit of a shame.

The Omni's not really American anyway - it's an Americanised Talbot Horizon which was a hateful POS.

So they are, I didn't notice the 2002 after it had been shuffled along and preceded with Motorsport. I wonder what it will be like to drive after reading this "So savage was the turbo lag that a millimetre of pedal travel could mean the difference between exiting a roundabout forwards or backwards"

Chrysler Sunbeams weren't very appealing either bar the Lotus version.

The 2002 turbo's "savage" turbo lag was entirely missing in GT4 on the PS2 so I don't hold out much hope.

As for the Sunbeam, at least it was RWD and not designed by Simca!
