A few people suggested having a little challenge on Forza 2. Idea is to see who can set the fastest laps on the Nurburgring in a specific car.

So first car?

Porsche 911 997 GT3 (not RS version)

Post your times along with your xbox live user name and score board position if you have access to it. Screen shots (even with a digital camera/phone) might be a good shout?

Will give this a go in a min.

I'll have a go when I get home, since I haven't been on for a few months consider me the loser

Quick go gave me:

Car: Porsche 911 997 GT3

Track: Nürburgring Nordschleife

Time: 8:17.664

Gamertag: Max3h

Lots of room for improvement me thinks, all driver aids on so with them off 8mins is achievable.

ain't got a xbox :(

other half wasted her money on a nintendo wii!

Just about to have a go at this, all driver aids off...

i think everyone needs to do it with all driver aids off, only true way to get a good comparison.

I'll have a go at the weekend. Am way to busy working on the car to play this (and my brother is always on the xbox later in the eve's, i.e. right now! )

we used to play this at work on gt3 with the bmw m5 all driver aids off etc,

Ill give it a bash tomorrow night,

I sold Forza Motorsport 2 :(

But I will have the new Gran Turismo on the PS3 soon enough, which apparently has over 10000 cars and ALOT of Polos.

Wow GT with Polos, exciting

Just did an 8:05.176

Def. not easiest car to drive round the ring. Fastest real world time is 7:42. Maybe we should allow sports tyres? lol

lol sounds like a rite giggle....need to get my live sorted...

you set your own car up tav?

Using standard cars, so all you can alter is the tire pressure. Only car I ever spend time on is my B Class Mini. Playing with that for weeks...need to get some cars for the other classes too.

Nearly all my cars on Forza are all modded, spent a while doing the suspension and stuff on them.

Got a lightly tuned F40 which is a monster for the 'Ring.

hmm would give this a shot if i could affford a porka!

hhhmmmm would give this a go if i could afford the raping games consoles are you can get a real car for that price a REAL car

Yeah but crashing a car in forza is a lot less expensive than in real life! :-D

Ooooh i dont know, i get really pissed off when things dont go my way on games

The cost of windows and control pads are quite expensive

will do this when my xbox comes back from repair, PIECE A SH*T

Out of interest, where are you getting your info?

Think there was a thread on here a while back about it. Can remember a topic with links in it showing pic's of the polo's from in game footage

I have GT5 prologue and can say theres not 10000 cars on there, theres around 60!

Oh and no polos!

The full version hasnt had a release date yet i dont think!

As far as i know, GT5 prologue hasn't got any Polos. And the car list for GT5 which has about 10,000 cars is a car wishlist, but is not a real list. Apparently there will be more like 1000 cars, only 300-ish of which will be on the disk (the rest as downloadable content).

This is from the GT5 forum:

READ ME FIRST: This thread is meant to list any and all cars that are either confirmed or semi-confirmed to being in GT5. I would appreciate it if people who find new cars would post their news in this thread, and not create all new threads because this will help keep the clutter and redundant posting down in this forum. Also, please do not attempt to type up your own list, merely post any new cars that are not already on the list below. Many thanks in advanced...

The cars in this thread will be marked according to how they are known to us at the moment. The system will be as follows:

Cars in black have been seen in screenshots or have been confirmed by Polyphony through lists

Cars in red have been seen being photographed and tested by Sony/Polyphony Digital and may or may not be in GT5

Cars in green have been mentioned by magazines or in interviews as being in the game, yet have not been seen. Also may not be in GT5

Also note that this is not a complete list and there are still plenty of cars to find.
