| It takes longer than I thought to upload and download the movies. So far I'm in the middle of downloading the middle segment for the first replay, the ACR. Expect the finished result in a few days. |

| Hi all. So I'm sure most or all of us have seen side by side comparison videos of sorts, like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ncIla_sf3Y. I was thinking of doing the same thing with different cars in FM3. So far I've got 2 replays that I'm making into movies. They are the 09 Corvette ZR1 and ... |

| It depends on the track. High speed tracks like Road Atlanta will be better attacked without aero, as it will hamper your cars ability to cut through the air, reducing top speeds. Momentum tracks like the Ring and Maple are often driven with aero as you need the extra cornering grip to maintain mome... |

| After. You want to get as much mechanical grip before adding aero. |

| It could be an induction swap, engine swap, drivetrain swap, or any combo of the three. I bet it's 4WD. |

| Very, very bad, even in the dirt. It's not the shock of traction that hurts it, it's the shock of being shifted into drive and having all that power put to it at once rather than gradually. |

My guess is piston rings, being as they would create the most heat, which would cause the oil to break down, however, I have NO idea.
My girlfriend's dad has been a machinist for 30 years. If I remember, I'll ask him. |

| It depends on the cars. Some cars make their peak power RIGHT at redline. In game, the S281 E is an example of this. Some cars have a more standard bell shaped horsepower curve, such as the old muscle cars. However, on some cars that don't make peak power at redline, you still might want to shift at... |

| It could be for a second fuel tank and not a pump. The fuel pump is mounted on the side of the engine (I think driver side, don't quote me), so the only way to have a second pump would be to have one either mounted in the tank, or along the fuel line before the on-engine pump. Seeing as how a tank m... |

| Hi all. So there's a wiki dedicated to Forza. If you don't know what a wiki is, it's a site dedicated to a certain subject, with individual pages created for certain topics within that subject, such as the cars of FM3, or the tracks of FM2, and so forth. Basically, anyone can edit and create pages. ... |

| FWIW Don, 4th, 5th, and 6th are all overdrive in your tranny, not just the .64 you have stated in the first bunch of info on the spreadsheet. |
