Different cars can be way faster than others at the same point index. Spec series try to eliminate the car to focus more on the drivers. |

It definitely isn't the fastest car to flog around in Forza, but it is a ton of fun right out of the box. I've upgraded transmission (always like adjustable final drive) and tires (stickier compound) and it is a ball with all the assists off.

I love and hate the handling characteristics of the FR-S. I hate at every corner while racing the back end wants to step out on me and I loose precious seconds because of it. Other than that the car feels planted and cart like. If the car is like that in real life I would grow tired of it real quick. I hope the BR-Z is more of a point and shoot straight kind of car.

Remember: you drive the vehicle.. What it does is a direct result of your input. It's obedient; and follows your orders no matter if they are good or bad decisions.
Short answer: learn how weight transfers in a vehicle. Drive within your limits. :happy0180: |

Interestingly enough, despite the lightweight nature of the car, it still requires more weight transfer handling than heavier cars I've driven. Obviously it's a video game though, so it's probably not the same as reality.

I think the FR-S might be classed to high. In the C class I have a hard time with the FRS on some tracks(ones with mostly decent straights) because its lack of torque and power and cars like the GC 3.8 V6 and the G35/Audi TT 3.2 gives me a hard ass time. Then on some Japanese tracks I barely win most times and I always top out all of my cars in every class.

If you want some laughs, take it on an oval track. I spent a few minutes configuring it for an oval and somehow managed a really good lap time and busted up laughing. I can't remember exactly but it seems like I had a top 500 or 600 place time out of 300k people. |

So not being an avid video gamer, i dumped a whole bunch on money into my FR-S making it faster, etc and now I can't use it in any of the tournaments. Besides downgrading it, how can I enjoy using the upgraded FR-S that I built.
Thanks for any help..... |

Do some single player races and get a lvl 4 affinity with Scion, then upgrades are free excluding body parts and wheels.

What you do is you join community races and earn money from there, that's always fun and i don't think there are any restrictions. I'm always on the Drift channel, either RWD/ just w.e... Hit me up on XBL: Flipdan92
