I dont think the wheel makes that much difference in terms of lap time. I guess it depends how comfortable you are racing with the controller.
 
You defiantly dont need a wheel to enjoy Forza, but it makes the experience more realistic and in my opinion a bit more fun because you feel more like your actually driving the car (which is what driving sim games are all about).
 
Id recommend the wireless microsoft wheel with the force feedback if your looking to get a wheel. Its defiantly the best one on the market for the 360 if your not looking to spend over $300 for one of the really hardcore ones.

" Crunch uk i'm not idiot... 1min.0533sec proves that it just seem when you take a low speed corner you have to wait forever to get back on the power. i've only raced with TC off a few times so i guess i need to give it a few more trys "

59 seconds prove you are wrong? And i believe the top times of 57 seconds thereabouts are all done without the traction control "

" Just wanted to say, this game looks very nice, especially the landscapes, amazing.  Watching my brother play it at first, um, I noticed he was going around the turns a little fast... he showed me he had all things turned off and set to simulation, but it still controlled arcadey.  I tried it and when I drifted around a corner it was very easy to control.  I dunno, it looks incredible I wasn't expecting that (really good lighting contrast!), but it feels like it's missing some depth from the handling/physics.  The rewind feature is pretty cool, I think they should do something like that in all racing games, but make it so if you enable it you get less money at the end of a race.  It's good, but there's just this nagging feeling like it's playing on arcade mode but the simulation settings go no further, but it's obviously a lot better than project gotham.

" According to their pitpass report thingamabob copies of forza 3 will contain a code for some DLC available from day 1. It includes 10 classic cars and what's apparently some sort of drifting playground/high speed ring/massive 8 lane dragstrip all in one track called "benchmark". And the cars contained within are as follows: 
 

•   ’65 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA
  
• ’64 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage
  
• ’81 BMW M1
  
• ’60 Chevrolet Corvette
  
• ’69 Dodge Charger  
  
• ’57 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa
  
• ’80 Fiat 131 Abarth
  
• ’67 Lamborghini Miura P400
  
• ’71 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R
  
• ’65 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe  
• 
  
• Link

I didnt get it my first time through either. But my in my second playthrough i managed not to kill any. Its not that hard not to kill any when you are activley avoiding it. I was playing on legendary and didnt run into a time where i needed to kill one.

" dang that sucks for people that live in other countries. i just have a question about how this works. how come companies make something that is great for gaming but then another hyped game don't take that great idea. "

I'm going to put this down to the IW vs Treyarch thing in this case.  IW hate everything that Treyarch do. To an extent I can imagine why, they feed off your scraps and sell millions of copies. What I'm beginning to not like about IW (and through their mouthpiece 402) is that even popular development from Treyarch is getting beat down.  When asked about Nazi Zombies in MW2, 402 just rolled his eyes mocking the idea. Obviously Terrorist Zombies would be kinda dumb in MW2, but he can't escape the fact that that mode is damn fun, and damn popular, so don't be so dismissive.  And then it comes to this region filter too. COD:WaW fixed it for everyone, but no way would IW take Treyarch's developments and put them back into their own game. Part of me wants to see their 'auto select' crap fail so we can all hang it on IW that they FAILED on something that Treyarch got RIGHT.  But most of me wants to play MW2 without lag. "

MW 2 does not need a flame thrower. That would be a stupid weapon to put in.

main reasons i dont play pc games:  -Dont like 'twitch' shooters. Which is what all PC FPS's become. -Dont like dealing with problems like graphics drivers and crappy installations that require me to go through 100 menus and then the game still doesnt run right.-I like being able to sit back and relax, not be 30 cm away from the monitor sitting at a desk.-Cant play with my friends on PC since they all play on xbox.  -Xbox live is so much eaiser, put the disc in and it works, voice communication and party systems are all intergrated.  - And finally, not everyone has a decent PC good enough to run modern games as they, and there required constant upgrades are pretty expensive.   So, buying it on PC does not solve my problems, adding in a 'local search' option like WAW does. "

Well when you generalize (all PC fps are twitch based? have you played BF2 which is one of the most popular PC FPS of all time) and exaggerate (100 menus? you sure it wasnt 1000? last i checked all you needed to do is download the latest GFX driver and have the latest version of a game)...  The other points you made are your opinion and choice of course, and I respect that, but some of them pass off as fact. Steam is just as easy as xboxlive if not easier, you can connect your pc to your living room HDTV and play on your couch if you dont have a gaming desk setup, and if you buy smart, you could still be running a top of the line computer with 2006 era hardware (8800GTX, 2GB ram, core 2 duo is still more than enough for any multiplatform title, and that means that 2006 configuration will last you until the end of these console's lifecycles).  "
