I like both games, but I think Forza 3 gets a little more of a nod as it actually has a release date.
I think once GT5 does come out though, it will pwn all.

According to PD, GT5 is ready for release. They're just polishing it up which could mean a christmas release

well crap, i gotta go out and buy a PS3 now. WRC in the game, hopefully it will have real rally stages and not that one on one crap like GT4, it was impossible to win, if you bumped anybody you were penalized, even if they hit you! Forza is aight. but, no GT. And the top gear test track, really!!!!! Can you race the Stig??

i'd like a game that merges both games.
like forza's 1's uphill/downhill, damage, modifications like body and engine swap which i thought was +1
but everything else, i like gt4 because i'm baised

To fuel the GT5 fire:
"The Polyphony Digital masterpiece Gran Turismo is always a hot topic among racing game aficionados, so here's something more to talk about - we've got more details on the upcoming Gran Turismo 5 to make the release-waiting much less bearable and the game much more incredible.
Dutch PS3 community site PS3 Sense managed to get the goods on GT5, and this is what they've managed to gather:
"...we can work with NASCAR"
Official license from the WRC
Car damage
"Full freedom" for car customization
Web browser to buy parts for your car
Car damage really isn't new to the genre, but the source indicates that the cars "can also piece" which could mean that being a bad driver or a being a victim of one can take bits and pieces out of your ride. Since this is Gran Turismo, I think it's even possible for the shrapnel to damage other cars, but that's just my theory.
What interests me here is the "Full freedom" for customization. The translation is a bit hazy, but it might be possible for GT5 to allow engine switching. It's pretty vague at this point. The translation says "...if you have a Ferrari, you can also stop an Audi engine." In the context of the sentence, full customization and detailing is being described, and it doesn't appear to be talking about Ferraris stopping Audis. It's more like Ferraris sporting Audi engines.
A very interesting feature. If you could switch engines, then it presents many variables to the game. For instance, the GT-R Skyline would lose its 4WD power advantage since you could stuff the engine into a lighter body. Speaking of stuffing engines, I'm also wondering about the implementation of engine bay size limits, or if "full customization" holds true and you can stuff anything under your hood.
Right now, Gran Turismo 5 is in revving and ready for release, but Polyphony is still making sure that everything - not just the cars - is running smoothly. If they add some more features or if they reinforce the ones we already know about, we'll let you know."

I hope they get rid of the bs grass slow down crap on Forza. If I want to cheat and cut corners, then by golly let me do so! It's really retarded that you can go 150mph, cross a patch of grass, and slow all the way down to 50 mph in 1 second.

Driving Force GT $150 is a good price for that wheel feels just like driving on with 2.5 turns left-right. The G25 on the other hand is if you want 6 gears and a clutch pedal. with metal materials instead of plastics.
