But initial test drives of my new S2000 confounded expectations. Instead of being able to kick out my rear end on a dime, the S2000 understeered itself into the dirt on high-speed corners if I eased up on the throttle heading into the apex. Frankly, it was pissing me off and, if Forza couldn&#8217;t even capture the handling of a popular car like the S2000, I was ready to write it off as fatally inaccurate. That is, until I Googled-up &#8220;S2000&#8221; and &#8220;understeer,&#8221; which lead me to a handful of real-life car reviews that mention the very same handling problem I experienced just hours earlier on my Xbox. I was stunned. Furthermore, I found a suspension tweaking guide (again, for the real-world car) that I was able to use and correct my S2000&#8217;s understeering problem. At that point, I became a true believer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been kinda lax on the blog here, but I just saw a great review for the new XBOX game I&#8221;ve been playing: Forza Motorsport Xbox Review from 1UP.COM An awesome tidbit that shows how realistic this game is: > &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/uncleleron.com\/wp\/2005\/05\/16\/forza-motorsport\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[17,9],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2HjU5-4V","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uncleleron.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uncleleron.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uncleleron.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uncleleron.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uncleleron.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/uncleleron.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uncleleron.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uncleleron.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uncleleron.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
