Just take a trip on over to the f8x forum if you need some drama/good laughs.

That's what I do when I need a pick me up

So that you can see how it would look with a aggressive setup or as a off-road rally car?

He's upset that despite its "slow/overpriced"tag it's still not within his price range- let him throw his pouts

Not to be rude but I don't think you know much about Forza Horizon. The game allows an insane amount of upgradability and tuning to the cars. You can change things such as the drivetrain, perform engine upgrades, switch up the tyres and rims, add spoilers and bumpers and in fact completely change out the engine and also the drivetrain. Ofcourse, I agree not all of this is realistic but it's all in the name of having fun. Also, if you consider the fact that FH3 is set in Australia it really is fun to cruise around with the the i8 through Surfer's Paradise or even The Outback. Also, with the new Blizzard Mountain expansion you can swap out the tyres for winter tyres and trek around the icy hills of Blizzard Mountain with the i8 - I mean how fun does that just sound? But yeah congrats on your i8, I'll give it a good beating in the virtual world.

You're completely right I barely know anything other than what it is! I haven't played a video game in years.

F80 would be perfect! F82 just isn't close enough

Agreed this is an awesome feature and I use it to attempt to match the mods I have on my other cars for fun.

For the i8, the issue is that there aren't any real world mods except tires. A few companies have a tune but there's not a lot of data out there. One gentlemen got a tune with an immediate fault code that sent a signal to BMW who called the owner to bring his car in.

I'm with you there, I have both a PS4 and Xbox One but kinda disappointed with Sony's first party efforts in the racing genre this generation, apart from Driveclub (which I enjoyed) there's not been anything else from their first parties. GT Sport will be out soon but knowing how Polyphony Digital works I won't be shocked if they have to delay it further, so far we have a vague release date of 2017 so let's hope it's out this year. Kinda weird considering Microsoft has already launched four exclusive racing games for their platform; Forza Motorsport 5 & 6 as well as Horizon 2 & 3. Hope Sony really steps it up.

As much as I love the PS4, I'm about to bail on it. The lack of driving games is killing it for me.

Sony might release new games with PS 5 .It's been ages since I last played game but I love to . However, I hate career modes and may be that's the reason why I don't play at all . if I can't pick the car I want to what's the point of playing for hours for sake of the buying the cars .

I am almost there as well, I honestly don't care what kinda improvement they have for gt7. They could have released a prologue at least.

Well Gran Turismo Sport is right around the corner and it looks quite promising.
