I've never noticed a large difference in either series, but at the same time, I'm as clueless as 99% of this thread and both sets of fans are about which has the more realistic driving, so my opinion, and most others are worthless in that way. While I noticed a few people could name one or so reasons to side firmly behind one or the other, I'm sure almost no one could actually go in depth on their points and explain why one is better than the other, because they are completely ignorant to the science behind both titles and what goes into them.
Like say for instance, your point is "one handles better than the other". What do you really know about high performance car handling at 200MPH to say anything on the subject and know what you're saying is correct? The only person here that may have some real life claim to know what he's talking about is tarheel, but I'm fairly sure almost everyone else in this thread is merely speaking taglines and knows very little to nothing about the real life counterpart to these games to give any informed opinion on even something as important as handling.

Haha, I haven't touched 200mph (my car can only do 148, and I've only touched 125ish), but very few cars can. I do admit, though, that my reason for finding GT better is very hard to explain. It's very hard to put into words how a car feels and what it should do. It, obviously, goes far beyond turning when you turn and breaking when you brake. The way the car reacts to your input, the way it interacts with the road, etc. is much closer to reality in GT than in Forza.
Edit: I'm not saying Forza is bad by any means. It's a great series. I just find GT better.

Oh really...well my friend who works on cars had a lot to say about GT4 while we were still in high school. Unfortunately he's at Cal Poly and I'm not as experienced in cars as him. I do remember the Ebrake in GT4 is considered more of a Miracle break, can pull you out of understeer. An Ebrake in real life would be so different it's incomparable. Until GT4 the GT series was more of a arcade game, while I believe Forza came out with the intention as a sim. If you ask me both are hogwash as the OP has said before PC sims destroy both games. Anyone trying to compare and saying their game is better than the other is just being an elitist prick in my opinion, trying to win an empty prize for "best console racing sim" Give me a break. If you really care about racing, cars, or sims you can spend $400 or $200 on an Xbox or PS3 but not $150 on a 900 degree steering wheel? Shoot i bet even the cheapest Pirelli wheels cost more than a forcefeedback 900 degree wheel. Sorry for the rant but topics like Forza vs GT really make me cynical.
Youth and stupidity cling together like Tom Cruise and strange, it seems.
