Saw this on http://forzamotorsport.net and had to share it... Here the description from the developer and the vids at the bottom (quite big at 208mb though)

QuoteMade In Japan: Import Generations

Inspired recently by a pretty rad JDM video (here) posted by Tempest_Demon in the FM.net forums, this week\'s replay theater video pits three pairs of Japanese muscle cars together for the ultimate five-lap battle on Tsukuba. The pairings are comprised of old vs. new, including the FC and FD RX-7s, a brutish white Evo VI against its newer, slicker, Evo IX brethren, and finally, the familiar orange Fairlady Z (350Z) vs. its cult-favorite 300ZX former-self.

Unlike last week, this race was more or less a single-player-style experience, where I set up my own dream race in the system link lobby and battled against 5 other AI cars. Difficulty for all AI cars were set to "professional" and I drove the red second-gen RX-7. Due to complaints from the past two videos that my driving was way too erratic (hey I was drifting and going into the dirt for dramatic effect!), I have tried my best here to drive like a professional racer would -- as little contact as possible, being conscious of AI\'s race lines and not diving into corners and playing bumper cars to get ahead. As you can see for yourself, when you drive like a pro, the AI also behaves quite intelligently and reasonably. There\'s absolutely no rubberbanding here, folks.

When the flag dropped, the Evo VI shot away from the pack and became a dominant wall that lead for pretty much the entirety of the race. I worked my way through the pair of Fairladys and dueled with the blue FD for a while. When I finally passed him, the Evo VI and my cherry red FC pulled instantly away from the rest of the pack and it soon became a nerve-wracking battle of patience and endurance (although it was only a 5 lap race, there\'s nothing worse than wiping out on the 5th lap).

To make my older RX-7 competitive amongst a field of more powerful (but stock) AI cars, I pumped my performance index up to B591. Upgrades include race intake and exhaust, a MAZDASPEED sport port and polish, Spearco race intercooler, and a beefy Apexi sport turbo kit. Oh, and sport tires to boot. The effect these mods had on the car went beyond just putting the car at a healthy 338 hp with 298 lb-ft torque, as you can hear for yourself in the video. The FC sounds like a ****ed off little kid!

Anyone else with an Xbox 360 getting Forza 2? If so add me - my gamertag is dezzah :)

I\'m not too into driving games but I d/loaded the demo yesterday.  I was a bit dissapointed with the graphics to be honest as I\'d recently played the Grand Tourismo demo on a PS3 which looked excellent.  I picked it up fast than FM2 as well - although I think I have to put a bit more effort in.  Not quite convinced yet, although I may buy it just becuase you can get an FD :)

Will d/load the video link and have a watch.
