Just disapointed that the 205 T16 didn't make it... :-(

Otherwise it's a great list, though some could argue that there's literally no Japanese car (I'm not in that group).
If this car pack makes it in the game in this state at 400 MS Points, it would be a hell of a deal, especially when you factor in that most of those cars would be pretty affordable (not even close the millions needed to buy the first two packs). :D

Apologies for the double post:

Final car: 1970 Chevrolet El Camino 454 Super Sport

I think he's referring to the fact that there is no such thing as a '92 Syclone, only '91s.

I'm not going to cry about the loss of some of my favorites, but if this is the final 15, the pack should look like this:

15) 1970 Chevrolet El Camino 454 Super Sport
14) 1986 Dodge Shelby Omni GLHS
13) 1988 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R
12) 1992 GMC Syclone
11) 1971 AMC Javelin AMX
10) 1984 BMW M635CSi
09) 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo II
08) 1977 Saab 99 Turbo
07) 1987 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500
06) 1971 De Tomaso Pantera
05) 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo
04) 1982 Lancia 037 Stradale
03) 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth
02) 1982 DeLorean DMC-12
01) 1983 Volvo 242 Group A Homologated

If a golden ticket car made it back from the dead and through the final cut, it deserves to be in there.
And the Syclone won each and every cut by miles, so regardless of what some wanted, many more thought the opposite.

I was racing on Nurburgring last night, and you start to notice things after doing 5 laps of it.

There's a castle on the hill to the right of the start line that is pretty cool, and apparently it is "Nurburg". :)

Google Maps Link

Near the pits, on the left hand side, far away from the Nordschleif track, the buildings and stands appear to be very intricately detailed.

Google Maps Link

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the GP Circuit is completely modeled already and just waiting for someone to throw the switch.

Nordschleife is so well modeled. The trees look fantastic, the lighting is perfect. It has to be one of the best looking tracks in the game.

the lancia 037 is probably the only car i'd pay money for, so i'm stoked... but yeah, the 205 would have been ace as well. it would be incredible if turn 10 released a rally car pack with all the most famous race tuned rally and hill climb cars. give me the climb dance peugeot 405, hill climb tacoma, group b monsters, etc

Todays week in review/pitpass is up.
http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/b...8/forza-motorsport-3-week-in-review-1-29.aspx


Its a good read this week with an update on the jalopnik polls, the DLC tease and the usual time trial and community league announcements. I posted a few snippets of the pitpass below.

A teaser for the new DLC march and feb.
Although I can’t tell you what’s in the DLC, I can say it’ll follow our regular cadence of DLC releases that we’ve had since December. Those of you astute enough can probably figure out its release date from that clue. I’ve also seen the latest video that Landin’s created for this DLC and it’s sweet. We’ll throw it online sometime next week if all goes well. Keep your fingers crossed.

"Now let’s talk about a new multiplayer game type we released in matchmaking “hoppers” last week. It’s called Last Car Standing and it requires the player to drive rather offensively to win."


To give you the definitive breakdown on Last Car Standing is Turn 10’s game designer Chris Vanover:

Last Man Standing is a variation on the “Keep It Clean” game type, except that the goal is to inflict the most damage on your opponents. When any two cars collide, both cars score points for the collision, but a bonus is given to the car that “caused” it – for example, if Car A were to t-bone Car B, Car A would get a greater score, but in a head-on collision, the points would be more equal.

Additionally, any time you hit another car, you’ll also get collision points for anything else that happens to your target for 2 seconds. In the t-bone example above, if Car B then lost control and hit a wall (or even another car) within 2 seconds, Car A would score points for that secondary collision. Keep in mind though that Car B can also score points if something happens to Car A during that same period of time.

Finally, the force of any collision determines its possible score. High speed equals high score, but also makes you a potential juicy target since someone just has to clip you into hitting something else to earn that high score off of you. It may sound confusing at first, but ultimately, the greatest possible scores will come from causing chain-reaction collisions at high speed.

Stoked that the Starion made it, but no ST185 Celica? Looks like my dream of rallying just like Carlos Sainz will have to be put on hold... especially since it seemed like everyone I knew voted for it.

You all have TERRIBLE taste in cars.

I voted for that Celica, although I guess im in the minority here in being excited for the Delorean haha since its not a great car in the driving sense. *activates his no lace Nike hi-tops* :lol

So you think he riced it out by removing all the stickers and changing the wheels?

We must have different definitions of rice. When I hear that term, this is what I think:

turn10 need more bodykits like this, kind of boring when everyone uses race wings and bumpers :p

Nurb DLC will be mine, maybe it was originally planned but not finished in time, wasn't monza delayed and released as DLC for that reason with forza 2?

I dunno, it has been 3 months since the official release and 4 now since the game was sent out to green discs. With a map taking 3-5 months to finish it fits the time line.

In case of RA and Motegi, yes, but there is no Monza in any Forza.

FYI, my MS pedals are fixed!

straight through rj-11 cables arent anywhere in stores it seems, and any place that sells them online absolutely rapes you for shipping, so went out and bought a phone cable crimper from home depot yesterday to fix my MS wheel pedal cable. after a few unsuccessful attempts, i got the wires lined up properly and successfully fixed my pedals!

cant wait to race against my recent times and see how much of an improvement there will be now that:
1) i can turn off abs
2) i'll have analogue braking back
3) there wont be slight braking applied anytime i left off the gas
4) everytime i hit the brake the accelerator isnt engaged as well

i'm actually amazed i was able to stilll play with all of this in effect! :lol

Is it me, or are the circuit lobbies getting more and more unbalanced..? I was in one that had players ranked from 0 to 36, right through the range.

I've also been kicked out a few times recently, for being significantly higher rank than the others, after being put into goups of players ranked around 15, etc.

Wow.. the graphics in this game look PHENOMENAL.

Are they really that good? or is there post-processing involved?
Click to expand...
Some photos you see are absolutely in-game, and some are a few in-games photos 'stitched' together.

Photo-mode does add AA and some other graphical enhancements, but the game does look fantastic, otherwise.

I been so busy playing online and doing the SP races I have yet to play the test track since it's out of thr way, and saying that I am yet to actually race more then just segments of the nurb. There is still much to do and easily hundreds of hours worth.

I need to race the point to point hopper at some point too, but I have no suitable car for it right now. In a way everything in this game is too apart (installing the longer bigger tracks, new copy only benchmark ring, etc) so you can easily forget about one thing.

This is something important they need to address in forza 4.

If you rented the game you wont have access to it, its a code card (similar to the cerberus thing for mass effect 2) you get inside of the case when you buy the game. It gives you access to the sidewinder and Benchmark ring DLC.

<3 Cjelly, I forgot I even made that lol.

Okay, so cooked tires, less spin, and controllable RPMs for drag strips.
