I've got two fast laps to clean up on Fujimi Kaido for R2 class, but I'm at 232 overall on the Circuit leaderboard. I might build a F class leaderboard Spyder to lower my F class position, but that's an awful lot of work for something I don't really like doing anyways...

Any of you guys remember a game on PS1 called "Peak Performance"? There was a car soccer game on there too that you could unlock. It was friggin cool. They had all sorts of cars you could unlock with codes in another garage. One level/track had UFO's that would pick up cows from a farm and drop them off at another area of the track. LOL Wish they'd remake that...

Except for the 635 and the GLHS, all those cars are in Forza 3, I believe.

The GTO in Forza 3 is an o4 (flat hood, 350HP). This is the first ever game outing for the hoodscooped LS2 Goat.
The Javelin was in an upgrade pack for Forza 3, so if you didn't own the pack and somebody was racing it, you would see it as a rabbit. Now it's a standard car.

The lack of Porsche cars makes me very sad.

Sure do hope they plop in a vintage racer pack and throw in a bunch of old McLaren and Porsche race cars from the 60's and 70's.

Blame EA. The bastage's hold the exclusive Porsche license and decided not to let Forza have a supplemental for F4. Stupid!

In reply to Conquest351:
Unfortunately, with Forza you can only to swaps from the same manufacturer, not that a big turbo 4G63 may not be pretty badass.

Let's see what else has EA killed....oh the football gaming industry. Yes they make tons of money, but having exclusive rights to the NCAA and the NFL, we only get to pick from one product and they have no competition, so they can produce an okay product and know it will sell simply because it's the only one out there. Then they are charging for things you used to get for free with the game like the create-a-team or in dynasty mode, if you want to sell a certain pitch to a recruit you only have xx amount of options, if you want the good options you have to purchase them through EA. It's pure garbage and a monopoly on a very small scale I guess.
It's healthy to have competition and it promotes forward thinking and progress, especially in an industry such as gaming where technology is always changing. You think EA would produce a Kinect version of NCAA Football or Madden...it would be pretty cool and you know they could do it, but that would hurt their bottom line because they'd have to code and design and research for a whole new game instead of just using what they already have because again, they are the only ones on the market and they know it will sell.
