We Go Racing With Some Truly Brutal Vehicles - Forza Motorsport 

longbow it’s ok asleast we know you did amazing :)

Maybe because Alex didn’t do as well?… just saying. J/K

​@@ryanlukens9280recording allegedly broke.

Omg anti-Longbow propaganda

Uh huh. Sure it did 👈😎👈

I'd be up for watching a bit of this IRL. Mind pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks both ✌🏻

Theres a leaked list on gtplanet and it has T10 adding the camaro, mustang and cadillac cts trans ams from 2017. Eventually

@@halow4 Well heck, good to know! Will be lookin' forward to the possibility of them droppin' then if they're on the cards! :o

I detuned my T/A challenger to 800 its pretty nice...

I’d love for them to not categorize them as GT (along with V8 supercars).

Yeah you were quick especially in the second race looking at the laptimes

your laptimes were bonkers fast.

i feel like GT3s might be faster in corners, better aero and all that, but yeah the TA class (that seem to be all powered by the same engine?) is most likely faster in a straight line

@@deadlyviper_ Yeah, Ta have simple aerodynamics but overall in a lap and race pace Ta are faster. Even in places like limerock park Ta are/can be faster ( it’s nearly all older gentlemen drivers in Ta )

These things aren't comparable to gt3s. They're full on race cars. Short of the body panels they don't have a single bit of road car in them.

It may be a silhouette car but I'd argue it might be cheaper and more 'grassroots'. I'd argue that whatever GT3 cars share with road cars still allows them to be full on race cars, maybe more so than trans am, since they have manufacturer support@@kantina4765

@@kantina4765 Is a TCR car a race car? Is a formula 1 car a race car? Is an unlimited time attack car a race car? All are race cars even though the basis and rules are different. Also people compare formula 1 and NASCAR stock cars all the time. It’s just a fun comparison.

As the proud owner of a challenger with less than 1/3 the power, I’m here for w i d e challenger

@@lastweekslasagna1699 Don't own one, but couldn't have said it better myself!

It must have been nice to get two wins, especially since it was your birthday.

@@matgee8892Thank you, but it was ABSOLUTELY not my birthday!

Man, I came really late to the party. So late in fact, it's your next birthday already! 🎉

Hopefully they'll add Tommy Kendalls 1990 Chevy Beretta

@@T.N.D.88 yeah a boost for the 90s trans am cars would be dope too. We already have 3 of them with 1 more coming in November

@Soulfarmer69 ooh okay I look forward to that

I think - THINK - these are TA1 cars, whereas TA2 class cars run in Australia

​@@guyincognito8019ah that makes sense! Thanks

We don't run these races with penalties, but that line is within the track limits determined by the game :) you can see Alex takes a very similar line on the first lap (1:20)

@@p1eased0nteatmeahh that makes sense

Forza*^. Could make the time attack hill climb a special event in a specific car or something. They could do something cool with it

They actually are stickers though...

@@p1eased0nteatme they don’t have headlights irl?

@@dudeimdudely transam.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Screen-Shot-2020-06-11-at-3.20.42-pm-1024x677.png No headlights, no grille where you'd expect :)

no...@@dudeimdudely

It's a sticker bud 🤦🤦

Alex does still have bills to pay, and atm Forza is at least bringing the views to do so, even if it is useless

Have you seen what a real trans-am car looks like?

I think he said they were called Evie or Eva

i knew something was up with him calling for his cat while passing :))@@Finnerzzzzzz

Haha that’s what I thought

It's "Edu"

F*** Audi and their AWD crap, TA has always been for RWD cars. Something similar happened to V8 Supercars with Nissan.

Race teams complaining when another is quicker??? This is unprecedented!

Back then the rules required that you can only use drive-trains that was offered in the street version of that car. Audi knew they had the ringer for that series. Audi is the reason the series appeared to go the way of the dodo. It ruined the TV value of the series. SCCA wasn't exactly on fire then either. Trans-Am's downturn, Can-Am was gone. IMSA was making Pro Road Racing worth the money to run the prototypes, and GT cars.

​ @DDS029 There were no American AWD cars at the time? No agile American Hothatches to turbocharge? To my understanding, the Dodge Neon was included in NFS Underground, because it was America's answer to the Civic. There was nothing else back then, to turn into a racecar? Really? And weren't there Shelby cars that weren't muscle cars? No rebadged, or foreign designed American made cars back then, like the Eagle Tallon, which was just an Mitsubishi Eclipse underneath? For a different strategy. Open in a new tab, and lookup on RU-vid, the Manley review of NFS Most Wanted. No American Trans Am team tried what BMW did with the M3 GTR? And I think some Really teams too. Made a racecar first, then road versions of it so it would satisfy the rules. Was that possible? The rules said a Trans Am car had to have the same drivetrain as the street version? Did the rules exclude old streetcars, and 4x4 trucks? If the American teams didn't want to experiment with bringing power to all 4 wheels, then they should have gone big, or gone home. I know there is an old, Rear Engine, RWD American car. No one thought to bring that back as a Trans Am car, with much better suspension? The center-of-gravity of rear-engined cars, amplifies Rear Wheel Drive characteristics/weight-transfer. So well, the best performing RWDs in dirt & snow rallying, are cars like the 911 and original Beatle. It even helps a RWD street car during winter, putting sandbags in the trunk. I know the timeline of some of the things I mentioned, are way off. But my point is, did any of the American teams try anything like this? No one combed the American streetcar history for an alternative to a muscle car? Whose Front-engine RWD layout is best for show drifting, not getting around as quick as possible. No team made their fuel cells as rearward as possible? No one rose to the engineering challenge, and looked for loopholes in the rules, even just for the LOLs. They just cried to daddy Trans Am? That is not the America I know.
