How can you have 'Thunder Saloons' with such restrictions? Ok maybe S700 but no BHP limits............might have to see what evilness lurks, have an obvious choice wink

Might have to detune the Limo

I might be up for this, two questions though.

Is it just for hardcore forza 3 racers or can beginers join in?
Are engine/drivetrain/turbo swaps ok?

What I ment to say is ok to convert a front wheel drive or a four wheel drive to rear wheel drive.

I meant length and weight wise. For example, the Integra counts as a saloon in this, doesn't it? If not there are other small ones. I don't want to turn up with something that might be turned away...

I don't really remember that either... Could be interesting though. Where do we stand on the whole aero/rollcage debate?

The game actually has a "Body Style" attached to each car, so you can see which is which. I'll be around I think. Just need to find something a bit less pants than the Carlton (which is good if all we're doing is racing the ovals)
