August Forza DLC

Finally getting the FT86 ('13 FR-S) and the Coyote ('13 Boss 302)!

Full list for those that haven't seen it:

1962 Lincoln Continental
2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302
2003 Aston Martin DB7 Zagato
2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track
1989 Mercedes-Benz #63 Team Sauber-Mercedes C9
1984 Peugeot 205 T16
2013 Scion FR-S
1962 Triumph TR3B
2013 Lexus GS350 F Sport

Not sure why they picked the 3.8L Genesis, though, in place of the new 276hp 2.0L car.

Because its what hyundai allowed in the game.

You'll prolly see me rocking the triumph and db7 before the rest.....

From the write up on the Forza website:

2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track

Built-in driftability comes standard in this, the fastest of the Genesis Coupes. The 3.8 Track’s rear-wheel drive and hearty V6 deliver an exciting ride whether the car is in a straight line or you are linking smoke-billowing drift turns. America and Japan have stiff competition coming for their segment in the Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track. The Hyundai even beats the American V6 pony cars and the Infiniti G37S in acceleration and quarter-mile times. The 3.8 Track’s 348 direct-injected ponies pass through a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic providing linear power delivery. Three traction-control levels give the driver a range of performance from reserved to downright playful. So look out competition, Hyundai has got something good going here.

Excited about the fr-s and the peugeot 205. And for some reason I have a ton of fun whaling those big cars around like the lincoln (country squire comes to mind)

The pack is out today. Much of the drift crowd are already acting like the FRS is the second coming of Jesus Christ. They have good things to say about the Boss Mustang too but the painters are let down because you can't hide the Boss stripes with vinyl..

Gotta love that, theres many more cars in the game that way. I need to get home and start the DL while I mow the yard.

Aw, really?

I havent seen for myself but it sounds like you wont see many custom paints for that car. impossibru to do a replica paint if you cant remove the strips.

Put vinyl over the stripes? That's worked for me on the Cortina....

Drifters are gonna hate this Lincoln

Fr-s sucks in A class.....don't bother

Also, if running circuit in A class, you'll want to drop the forced induction on the ZL1....makes it much nicer to deal with.

How does turn 10 seem to know all of the really obscure Astons that I like. Also now that Triumph is in the game I can hope for a Stag, right........

really? I absolutely love it, Ive been putting up pretty darn good lap times, and have been winning lobbies with it all night.

A lot of low class cars arent that good when you build them up to A or S class. They either dont have the power or grip to keep up with the cars that start out in A or S. I have an S class supra and its a struggle to keep up with ferrari's or lambos, even with fat race slicks and downforce

I know, I totally overlooked that Aston until I was checking out all the new cars available in the garage. I really like it.

sounds like a challenge.

Its early. My first thought, "Who needs a 13 foot Boss?"

I just picked up Forza 4 again after about a month long GT5 bender, and now I'm all messed up when it comes to driving around in the new DLC.

Why does the Boss understeer like a pig when the friggin' ZL1 feels so planted and awesome? Also, I know the FR-S is supposed to feel "drifty" but it seems like Forza used physics that simulate driving the car on a wet skidpad for the stock tires. Thankfully, upgrading to the step below full racing tires makes the car a LOT better.

I may revisit it, but prolly to put it in B.......and I was raping last night with the db7 after I figured out the bumpsteer issue. Thus far, I've been running really good times with the boss, n/a zl1(1le spec) and db7. I dislike higher classes with short wheelbase cars, perhaps thats the issue with the fr-s.

The '73 Carrera takes the stripes off when you change the bumpers. Probably the same for the Mustang.
