I am not sure if you have seen a promotion that Ford and Need for Speed SHIFT have been putting on but they strapped four video gamers into Need for Speed SHIFT with a 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 at Horse Thief Mile and compared their video game times to real world times. None of the kids could do it of course but then I wondered if it could be done at all.
So I am calling out Vaughn Gittin Jr. out on behalf of all our fans at Wrecked Magazine to a Need for Speed SHIFT challenge of my own. I want to run the same track in Xbox 360 with the famed Shelby GT500 at Horse Thief and see if Vaughn Gittin Jr. can beat my time!
Now please link this around and cause a buzz so we can make this happen. Leave a post in the comments if you love America as well. I wish to put my video gaming skills to a true real life challenge already! Let’s do this Vaughn Gittin Jr., I await your reply. My right thumb versus your right foot per say.

polyphony, makers of gt5, took the top 21 or so fastest racers of gt5 in europe and through gt academy produced a second place winner in the gt4 championships in his very first season of racing. hows that for true simulation.
 
Shift's drift mode really disappointed me.... not only is it totally unrealistic and weird with the steering wheel controller, you can't drift on the track with other people! Grid's drift mode was awesome, but you couldn't really do much with the cars and tuning. Forza 3 finally nailed it - tune the cars in the game how you would in real life and they react realistically and drifting feels pretty damned real. Doing tandem runs at Road Atlanta's horseshoe is awesome.

the best drifting physics is real physics imo. i've played grid and yea its pretty fun but because i was so used to gt5p and how real it felt, grid got boring. now that doesnt mean that in grid its easy to learn to drift really well but its definitely easy too look good. maybe thats what you meant.
