Sorry I haven't posted in a while, been playing Forza Motorsport 2

If you have an Xbox 360, even if you normally don't play car simulation games, I strongly urge you to pick this one up. There are over 300 cars in the game, each able to be tuned with manufacturer specific add ons. The amazing thing is how the handling and performance on the car change with just a slight change. For example, add too much power with no handling improvements and you'll be fishtailing all over the track. Also, this is one game that has very real handling, but also seems to know when you want to oversteer or understeer, accelerate through a turn, etc. Here's a nice review at Ars Technica. Another cool feature is that you can upload pics from the game to the Forza Motorsport 2 website. Here's a pic of a corvette I crashed up pretty good:
