Anyone find yourself playing video games with 5th Gen Camaros in em?

I'm not a huge video gamer but I do like to play certain games. Mostly racing games. There are a few with real lisenced cars in them like blur and Need For Speed Hot Pursuit that have the new Camaro. In NFS you can change the color of the car and your choices are the colors the cars actually come in right down to the correct names of the color. I have a blast driving a virtual version of my car like a bat outta hell. Smashing it all up is fun when all you have to do to fix it is press the reset button. Anyone else doing this? Who wants to race online?

You need to try Gran Turismo 5. Easily the most realistic 5th GEN in any video game!

That was one of my Christmas gifts this year too. My son and I unlocked all the Camaro's today. What a blast for a $20.00 game. He gets to learn about the Camaros from the past too. He was better at hitting cones. (his skills from playing games like Mario (whatever), where they go around and pick up coins, trying to hit things. I was better at all out racing for checkpoints. Where I am use to racing and not hitting things.

I need to check out some others now.

I love racing games (particularly Need for Speed) and was excited to get behind the wheel of a Camaro in Hot Pursuit. Then I realized the car was a non-RS, there was no option for stripe packages and worst of all they didn't even include Imperial Blue Metallic as a color choice, instead they had a yellow that appeared to be an attempt at Sunrise Yellow but, while better than Rally Yellow, I'm not a huge fan. Then again, I'm not a "yellow kinda guy" to begin with. All-in-all, Camaro had a poor showing in Hot Pursuit IMO, but it's still a great game.

The game I'm REALLY waiting for though is Test Drive Unlimited 2. I spent way, WAY too much time tooling around in a GTO in the first TDU and can't wait to take the Camaro for a spin in the new version. I played a little bit of the beta and was excited to see that the Camaro included in the game is a 2SS/RS (seriously, why don't ALL developers use the RS version in their games?), and can't wait to play the finished product in a few months.

NFS:Hot Pursuit is fun driving the Camaro while doing the cop chase. Though when using it for a race it's a little lagging in power which makes sense when you're competing against a Jaguar and Mazarati but it is still a blast. Has anyone else notice that the fender emblem is on the bottom of the car instead of the middle? Strikes me kinda odd.

its been proven by IGN and other reviews that forza 3 is better then grand turismo in terms of realistic and over all game play... i play gran turismo 5 at my friends house and i own froza 3 and we BOTH agree forza is better.
