    I used search and found no answers. I currently play GTR 2 and RACE2007 with my
    Logitech USB driving rig. But the oldest I can go is a 360 Modena (great simulation!!).
    This is on a Windows XP box - also have a Vista box as well...

    Does anyone know of any current games that have 3x8 cars in them? I'd LOVE to
    play a 328 (like mine) on a simulation!!

    edit: or for that matter 355 too!

    Anyone know?

    I cant think of anything for a computer. The PS3 has the new Ferrari game that just came out but that doesnt help you much.

    X-box 360's PGR4 has a ton, it's got an in-car view and all the interiors are exactly like the real car. By far my favorite racing game as I hate front bumper camera and rear bumper camera views. No 328/308 though.

    Forza racing from Xbox has the Dino along with the 360 coupe and other pre-360 F-cars I believe.

    Oh, I forgot one more car the 599. Here is an example of one that I took from stock to modified for the track. Also be advised the picture is in low resolution.

    You'll have to wait for Blimey's (those who made GTR and GTL) "Ferrari Project", which will focus on Ferrari only and cover basically every important car. Screens already look breathtaking: http://www.blimeygames.com/

    Check out Grand Prix Legends, there are patches & mods to this classic computer game so you could run newer cars but not sure if there is a community that still supports it. It was a great game during its time.

    The only game I have found that contains a 3x8 car is Test Drive Unlimited. You drive around Hawaii and compete in different races and go through all that stuff, but its a free-roam game. You DO have to connect to XBox live and download the 308GTS, but you can also get the Testarossa, 246GT and 246GTS, Series 1 GTO, F40 and maybe a few others. I have every one available in the game, but am away from home now. This game was available on a number of systems, but the 360 seems to have a better selection of Ferrari games at the moment. (admittedly I dont have the new Ferrari Challenge game).

    I got this a few months ago but couldnt get it to work on my computer. I think it had something to do with my graphics. I'll have to figure out what was wrong and give it another try.

    The game is available on PC as well, since the OP plays on PC. The game is more arcadey then sim. You can also get the Megapack addon which gives you another 45cars which include the cars mentioned above.
    I got it hacked so there is no traffic cause the Police chases were annoying then fun.

    At one time Sir Jackie Stewart tried GPL and said the real car was easier to drive.

    I have the feeling that this video is accellerated or something - the one thing I HATE about GPL is that it always feels like you're driving 25km/h...
