Default NFS or Forza?

Which do you prefer? I personally prefer both, depends on the kinda mood i'm in. Forza offers more to do with performance customization, as well as realism. While Need for speed has the drag..well most of em. I loved the older ones where you could customize basically everything on your car.

Forza > Anything NFS

Physics on NFS games is...just plain wrong. The games can be fun, but it's nothing like driving.

I can't wait for Gran Turismo 5 to come out. PS3 time.

Haha yea, I admit the physics are pretty unreal, I still like it though, but like I said, I'm a fan of both. I like havin the realism of Forza. Although when the computers don't slip going around a corner in the same exact car as you, when they're going faster, and you power slide going half the speed..I get a little aggravated haha. I love how when you change the exhaust and stuff, it actually changes the sound. Is forza 3 out yet?

Yeah Forza 3 is out, and a big leap forward from Forza 2 physics wise. I was talking about Forza 3 mostly, although 2 was also good.

Come on Cujo, you can beat me I'm sure. Have you beat my FWD drift score on Fujimi Kaido with a RWD car yet?

GT4 was my most recent game but its hard with just the controller. I want a racing wheel, pedal and shifter. I would love to be able to go for a "drive" in cars I can never own. Anyone have a racing wheel and does it make racing easier/more fun?
