They're surprisingly not terrible until they're at about 50% wear, then I find that you may as well not have tires on the car at all.

15 R-class 944's with racing liveries, 10 tuner Cayennes, and 4 914/6's in various states of disrepair.

And a 1949 VW Beetle with Porsche badges hotglued onto it. This is also the one that has the Autovista mode included.

Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


Is the 9FF an official or officially licensed Porsche product with a chance of being in the pack? I mean we can probably upgrade a GT3RS or Carrera GT to that level, but it would be nice to have it done automagically.

I will be incredibly sadface if the 944 or something like the 924 Carrera GT isn't in the pack. However, I'm confident it will be, otherwise Turn 10 would be heavily criticised for releasing "a 911 pack".

I'd say the probability of the pack not including a Cayenne is close to zero.

I'm rooting for the 928, aka the Porsche Pacer. Also, Bill Gates better let them sample his 959.

The 928 nearly made it into the Jalopnik pack in F3, so I think (hope) it will be in the Porsche pack. The 959 should be there, too. Wasn't it in previous Forzas?

I used to see a 959 on King George Highway north of the border in BC with Washington plates. It was red and not a fake, as it had it's fuel filler in the rear of the car. I had seen it twice, around 2003 and I was always curious if it was owned by Gates or a friend of his.

Added the points needed for the May DLC pack. :D Can't wait to get this. I've already spent so much money on Forza 4 as is. Remember, I literally bought an Xbox 360 just to play this, and it was worth every cent.

Hey Cowboy, where can I find these illusive tunes for wednesday's race? I don't think I am the only one who doesn't have a clue what the rules and poo poo are for the race that is two days away, and I would like to get painting and practicing.

I know last week several goons couldn't play, or just barely made the cutoff because noone knew what the rules were as they were posted many pages back, and kind of vague since they were spread out over several posts.

You need to make a main post man, with all of the rules for the particular spec.

Interesting. I just went to Xbox dashboard, hit game details, then went to "extras" and scrolled right. All the May cars are available through that, but I can't see the pack itself, just individual cars. Going to download the free car (2012 Chrysler 300) and see if I can then buy the pack.

The Smart car's body options actually change the width of the arches too. Front bumper changes the shape of the car up to the hinges of the doors, the rear bumper changes up to the back of the doors.

Austin Healey has the option to add spotlights to the grille, and the usual "remove bumpers" for classic cars. Also, adding the race rollcage adds a rollhoop behind the driver and passenger seats.

The Jeep Rubicon has the option for a winch on the bumper, as well as a loving snorkel for the hood. :3:

The Transit you can change the bodyparts on it to be just like a standard Ford Transit. Albeit a standard ford transit with big chunky tires, alloy wheels, rear wheel drive...

AMC Pacer X has the usual old car upgrade options, just no removal of bumpers. Also, the "forza motorsport" muscle car hood options, which look hilarious.

Lotus Cortina has the usual remove bumpers and classic style forza aero upgrades.

Subaru Legacy gets a Subaru street bumper, gaudy Forza Aero and :siren: Rally spotlights :siren: Time to make some Colin McRae liveries!

Mitsubishi Galant has a quite good looking Mitsubishi aftermarket street aero kit, and the gaudy Forza Aero + Remove rear wing

Hennessey Venom looks like a modern Lotus Elise GT1 with it's aero. Huge rear wing that is shaped nicely for the rear of the car. Should be interesting to see how good it does in racing. Mine is at R2 875. It comes with 1200hp.

Chrysler 300 SRT8 has awful looking street and race aero, the car weighs 4,367lbs and is at PI489. In otherwords, it's useless. Avoid.

What a suprise the hennesey is completely undriveable just like that retarded ssc thing. Everything else is pretty good, the smartcar is a liftoff oversteer machine and is more fun than I thought it would be.

Edit: the transits aero options let you make it look like a bog standard transit lol

The Hennessy is fun as hell to drive, and is incredibly stable if you don't act like a dafty with the accelerator pedal. Terrifying, but fun.

Its never going to be quick though, if i have to brake with double the distance of most r3 cars and modulate the throttle more than a drat R1998 car. The thing wheelspun upto 5th gear in a straight line for gods sake.

Season pass owners: Immediately download the free car to get the pack for free. The Exige costs 900,000 and all the good cars are cheap so it shouldn't be hard to nab what you want. Just hope they don't patch it and ruin the fun.
http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-ca/Product/2012-Chrysler-300-SRT8/fbab6148-75ec-4723-abb1-163b0d4bd2d5?cid=SLink

The Smartcar is an absolute hoot to drive. Understeers when it's not rear-engine-flailing for charging into a corner too hard. I don't have time to play around much, but trying out this one car put a smile on my face. I just wish we had full Amalfi or some sort of 1/2 scale Sidewinder to really make use of it. This car deserves a season's worth of go-kart tracks.

Went in the game first, it showed the Legacy as free... then it tried to buy it for -1 credits and then claimed I needed like 4 million.

Went to the marketplace, got the 300C for free, and just now drove both the Hennessey (holy poo poo what an undrivable mess) and the Transit (this thing could be fun).

Thanks, Turn10!
