I'm free pretty much all weekend, so anytime is good for me for the next couple of days. Plus, now we have enough club members to have a decently sized pack of cars running around the track at once.
i joined the pff club some time last week but with my cousin over i wasn't really able to play so i should be able to play with you guys this week. but before i can play motor sports i need to beat the last level of gears of war on insane with mattwa. i plan on getting this done tonight so i should be able to start playing motor sports tomorrow . by the way my xbox name is fullmetal 1a

Really. I didn't know about this, I thought you wouldn't ever touch that game again. LOL. However, I plan to buy Forza 4 sometime later this week.

Glad to see everyone planning on putting some time in to the game. It's well worth it. BlackEmrald and I have been playing online pretty regularly the past few days with mixed success, trying out different cars, and car setups. I'm horrible at drifting as well, as we found out the other day, so I hope someone else can help him out by being his drifting partner.
For me, I've found that i enjoy the game a whole lot more when I'm racing with another person in the lobby, even if there is only one or two people that I know out of the group of 12-16 racers. Especially if we are running in the mutli-class circuit races. We can run blocker for eachother when the faster cars run up on the slower cars.
The only gripe I have about the game is that since the online races are so short, everyone races with a large amount of aggression and many, many crashes occur during the race. But I've come to expect this as of late, so it hasn't bugged as much as it did before. Having a second or third person in the party to complain to about it helps a bunch too. Especially if you're both involved in the same wreck.
I'm very excited to get to race with/against all of you online.

Made a quick PFF logo design today. It is shared in my storefront. I also added an MR2 with PFF scheme to the garage.<psychopotty>
I saw that you had a pff logo on the MR2 you shared in the club garage, glad to know you have one in your storefront. BlackEmrald and I were just talking about making a logo to put on our cars if we wanted. Thanks for doing that for everyone.
I've been having a right laugh with it. Been doing a bit of autocross stuff, it's good! Sadly however you can only be in one club at a time, and the local LAN club snapped me up first, so if someone wants to add me and sees me lurking about while you're all cruising invite me in! Tag is Sonita Bonita. Yes, it's the wife's Xbox Live account but it's all the more satisfying when you whoop someone and they think you're a chick
I also have Forza 4 and would love to play with you all once I get XBox Live Gold. Sadly in Alaska we have no Fiero clubs, so is there a generic one I can join? I've emailed Turn10 about adding the Fiero to Forza 4 about a week ago, and added what engines might good for the ingame swaps. Doubt they'll listen but, you never know. Maybe a petition? Haha if we could show we'd have enough people to spend enough on the DLC they might do it.
My XBox Gamertag is LostChaoticSoul in case anybody is interested.
Just figured I'd drop a note here. I'm already in on the Pennock Racing Club, my tag is Notchback88 . Has anybody spent the countless hours to make a Fiero logo yet? The PFF logo is nice, I'll be downloading that later too. And SilentAssassin...your times are irritating to beat! lol.
On a side note, its kinda sad how many times on live I'm asked if I own a Mustang, due to my gamer tag.... >_<

Well, I tried to join the club but apparently you need XBox Live Gold even for that simple task, so, it'll be a while before I can join. Unemployment sucks.
I still want to do a club wide meet or cruise or something!
Me and Darth race pretty regularly, but I have hardly raced with anyone else.
Also, If anyone is interesting in drifting, or learning to drift, hit me up! I've been teaching Darth, and he has made a lot of progress! He still can't beat my time at Tsukuba! Haha!
I want to set up a race night or something, where everyone gets on like at a certain time, and we can do whatever.

I played the demo 2 weeks ago, I wasn't impressed. Disappointed that Porsche got left out, the interior lighting was extremely dim (not sure if thats adjustable). I like the physics, I might pick the game up though regardless since a bunch of you are playing it

Its the best racing game I've played in years. I do wish they had Fiero's in the game which was a huge let down but oh well I got a Diablo SV and thats what I wanna build over my Fiero someday I guess thats close enough.
But seriously tho they got the MR2, the Civic and Integra. I was looking forward to smoking them with a Fiero in the game.

Although Porche did get left out, they included RUF, which appears to be modified Porche cars.

Yeah Porsche got left out due to EA having exclusivity. That runs out soon, and the rumour is that Porsche weren't overly impressed by EA. Expect Porsches to make a triumphant return via DLC.

Brightness is adjustable in-game as well, so that should be able to fix any issues you had with the interior lighting.

So we're starting to pick up some steam as a club lately, and I like it! Lots of us are starting to race together fairly regularly and it's been quite a lot of fun. BlackEmrald has definitely been heralded as the drifter in our club, and if anyone is interested in drifting, he can set up a car for you for drifting. I've been getting better with my tuning for general racing, and I'm willing to tune anything for anyone for whichever track you like. Just need to know what class you intend to use the car in.
If anyone is a good painter I'd like to see if we can't find a cool club racing scheme we can put on our cars when we are all online together. It would be nice to have a bunch of different cars in a lobby with a paint scheme to separate ourselves from everyone else.
Also, I've noticed a bunch of new cars getting added to our club garage, which is awesome. However, I'm seeing a ton of the same cars over and over again being shared. For example, there are 3 different hummers and at least 3 different thunderbirds alone. All with similar setups. And with a limited space in the garage, I'd like to keep that to a minimum. I'm going to start going through the cars and removing some of them from the garage over the next few days just to keep the space open. I know there is an emblem you can get in game for sharing 5 cars in the club garage, so I don't want to keep anyone from getting that, but please look through the garage and see if every car you have there really needs to be. If there isn't anything really special about it, like a really cool paintjob, or a great tune, or one of the super expensive cars that are oh so unattainable in the game, it would be nice to have some space freed up.
With all that being said, I'm looking forward to meeting more of the club in a party on Live, and racing either in matchmaking or in a private match.
Also, has anyone else been having issues with connection times and connections in general in matchmaking? It has been really buggy the past couple of days.

Feel free to remove any of my cars you wish from the garage (psychopotty). I won't be disappointed. I haven't raced online at all, as I don't feel I'm very good to be competitive with you guys who have been on for a while. I just don't get the time to practice on there much and have been trying to knock some of the career races out.

I just picked this up last weekend finally. I'm a little behind the times but I sent a request to join the club. This is definitely the best racing game I've ever played.

Did anyone notice our Club standings since I have joined the team? Check out my runs in S Class. Now that I have set most of the track records in that class, I am off to others. Can you keep up? He, he, he...
I really like the way that they have set up club/rival racing. Racing the ghosts is a blast, and I look forward to any of you folks beating my times.
I hold many 1% times on the net, and really enjoy the Forza series as a whole. I do miss the 1 plus hour races though. I wonder why that is missing? Gassing and tire changes were an intrical part of III, and often the most played tracks. Oh well?
I have been playing a lot lately, but it is definately hit and miss for me being on.
I will have to post pics (when I get my PIP working?), but I owned a 66 Chevelle also! The information about the "dealer installed 375 hp" on a 396 is utter BS. The SS 396 375hp is refered to as a L78 engine. It was rated at 375 hp, but was nearer to 425. The cam was almost unstreetable, and the lope was exciting. It has an unbreakable 12 bolt, and a M21 Rock Crusher transmission.
