So, I'm looking for comments on how accurate the dynamic engine of the game Forza Motorsport 2 is. I thought it would be a good idea to check here since the forum holds people with real drivning experiences of so many different Ferrari models.
For those of you that have not tried the game I would highly recommend it. And for you that are sceptical or even just think of it to be out of the question I urge you even more so to check it out. The game was released about a year ago and it nothing even close to other racing games out there. In fact it was the first game that saw real reace drivers without pratice beating "gaming nerds" at tests.
There are a huge amount of cars to drive. The complete list when the game was released is at

The Ferrari portion of that was
2005 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
1994 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta
1999 Ferrari 360 Modena
2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello

1984 Ferrari GTO
2004 Ferrari F430

Of course you can setup and tune your car in a large number of ways but the great thing is the dynamic engine. You really feel a BIG difference between a FWD, AWD and RWD car. You really feel a BIG difference between a street car and a race car. You really feel a BIG difference if you run on steet tyres or slicks. And you really feel a BIG difference with aspect to what you do or don't with the accelerator, brake pedal and sterring wheel and your shifting. Probably it will be the closest the most of us will get to going down the strait of Mugello in a screaming 333SP. And yes, many of the engine sounds are sampled from real engines...
Ooups this turned out to be a really long post. Do I by that and the topic qualify as a real gaming nerd now? I'm scared...
