Exomotive Exocet Sport V8 XP-5 Makes Forza

Forza Motorsport is one of the most popular racing games on the planet, and Xbox gamers now have a new option (assuming they’re willing to cough up a few extra dollars for a DLC). What is it? It’s an Exocet! Specifically the Exocet Sport V8 XP-5, a virtual Chevy LS3-swapped tube-framed Miata-based kit car. This is as close as most people will ever get to driving an Exocet, and we’re thrilled that Exomotive’s car made the cut in Forza.

I gave it a whirl around Prague. Couldn't even make a lap without binning it. You have to be super smooth and soft on the right pedal to keep it pointed in the right direction. IRL it would be a death trap.

I maxed mine out to just under 800hp and 1800lbs. I have the fastest Hardcore lap at Lime Rock with it at 49.2. Tune is on the storefront.

A Meyers Manx, Subaru 360, BMW Isette, ‘49 Chevy Fleetline, and a few others are pretty weird cars in FM7.

I haven't played a Forza game since the early part of the 360 era. Have played a lot of GT over the years, but not since GT6 came out.

Anyone on here with a decent home theater setup? My biggest issue with these games is not the visuals or the handling or the ability to modify and tinker, it is with the sound. Specifically in GT, I've yet to find a car that sounds anything like it's real life counterpart when modified. Change out the exhaust on a car in GT, and get ready for generic noise, rather than character and tone that different engines have...

Not trying to complain, just disappointed is all. I know there are settings to get the best out of GT, but none of them change the actual audio files themselves. And yes, I'm aware that audio consumes a MASSIVE amount of data space, but is that really an issue in this day and age?
