Hopefully mine won't be a moneypit. At the very least it should be easier and cheaper to find parts for it than it was for my FB.

If is a 5sfe then it shouldnt be! It is harder to get parts these days although most bits are still available from toyota and plenty other places. Is it completely stock?

I'm pretty sure the Porsche DLC will be the March DLC pack, whether it comes out this Tuesday or some other Tuesday in the month. They'll want people to spend their monies on that sweet $20 pack.

The final 'regular' DLC will be in April.

Except for the bump at the start, I wish every race was as intense as the first three laps of this Prague race. The guy into whom I was bumped at the start, sperg messaged me after the race :v:

I have never played any racing game online in all my years that was anywhere even approaching the level of how bad Forza 6's online community is.

Turn 10 wanted mass appeal and got it. What do you expect for a company under Microsoft's wing? I just bought Forza 4 - mainly for the tracks everyone mentions were awesome, but have yet to play it.

Endurance League isn't much better - it might interest you since at least you have double the laps to wait out the clusterfuck and make up ground. On quite a few races, I can start slow, watch the turn 1 wreck happen and take advantage and get top 3, and on a few occasions win.

Youtube also let's me publicly shame bad drivers since I can't do that on the forza forums. These are from mainly the endurance league which runs half as many races, but I still have tons of wrecks. I wish we could save double or triple the amount of video.

I know not much about differentials, just that these as a base work for me.

RWD - 60 / 25
AWD - front: 35 / 0 | rear: 60 / 25
Bias - 65-70

So, the most intensive part of my consulting gig should be out of the way now and I actually have time to surface to air - do we wanna get a time trial challenge going again? Last one I remember was the Chapparal but I never got around to setting a time for it.

Any higher on the accel and it's a lot harder for me to straighten up with the throttle on corners where I slide the back around. It just makes it easier to handle the oversteer of rwd or understeer of fwd.

It's most likely to do with my specific style of driving. It works for me.

If you're ever down to do some online Forza 4 let me know. The hoppers in that game were rad as gently caress, especially their multiclass A, B, C and S hopper which was the chillest place ever and nobody ever used leaderboard cars there.

e: after an hour doing the Rivals event, I couldn't even beat my own personal best let alone Triton's. Guess no Aston for me :negative:

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if nothing came out tomorrow. The 'March 1st' date only came out in the Amazon leak. T10 has said nothing. The Porsche DLC will definitely come out this month, though (seeing as tomorrow is the first Tuesday of the month and they haven't done DLC clues for a standard 7-car pack).

It's more likely than ever with Gears of War happening. These rumors going around now are far more substantial than in years past.

I think in the past when the first Tuesday of a month fell on the 1st, it was skipped for the next Tuesday.

I'm very excited, but disappointed in the car list. No GT4, no 991 RSR or 991.2 (or really any 991 at all), or really any non-turbo 911s, I suppose I'll be left to engine swaps on that one just as I was with the Rufs in Forza 5.

I'm wondering if this EA contract essentially gives Turn10 access to modern Porsches not covered by EA games, which would explain the inclusion of a 2015 Macan Turbo and the 919 Hybrid, neither of which really fit within what Need For Speed is going for.

The IGN thing I read made it sound like they're testing the waters and if it works they'd release Horizon 3 and Motorsport 7 on PC same day. Making it free is probably the only way they could get the hardcore sim racing crowd to even look at it as well.

Fucks sake ms thanks for making me waste money on your lovely slow loud hot rear end console. I could be playing Forza on my beefy quiet artisanal gameing rig!

Also at least they have the 997 4.0 GT3 RS which is the swansong for the mezger engine, plus the 918 and 919!
