Argh they have the Escort MkII and now the "Lotus"(Ford) Cortina (possibly)?

They're soooooooo close to that Capri :ohdear:

Edit: Here's the tentative car list:

I said come in! posted:

1995 Alfa Romeo 155 Q4
2012 Chrysler 300C SRT8
2012 Citroën DS4
1964 Lotus Cortina
1991 Mazda 787B
1958 MG A Twin-Cam
2012 MINI Coupe JCW
1987 RUF CTR
1997 Volvo 850R

Note the bolded car. :drat: Let it be the wagon!

Having the 787B would give me a R class car I'd actually want to drive! Yellowbird and Cortina too yes please.

The 787B will be incredible to have because we have no Group-C Le-Man Prototypes in FM4. FM3 had one, but it was Porsche. I'm looking forward to people creating the vinyls for the Porsche and Nissan prototypes.

Anyone just get disappointed when they hear that some modern Dodge or Chrysler is being added? At least Ford and Chevy have some interesting stuff. Everything Chrysler makes is just a rehashed resize of another of their cars which are already boring. And what the gently caress is a Chrysler 300 SRT8? I thought Chrysler was supposed to be classy and 300C was the suped up version of it. Now they have 300C SRT8? That just sounds stupid.

Are you sure? I would have driven the poo poo out of that i'm sure in fm2, loved that car in GT4.

I swear p much every car pack has had some awesome cars in it, unlike in FM3 where alot of them were 2010/11 NEW AUDI/VW/some other boring car

Hey guys, is wheelchat cool in here? I saw some of the first page posts regarding the Fanatec line of wheels, looked in their shop, and found a 300bux CSR value wheel pack which includes regular CSR pedals. Are these pedals really inferior to the CSR elites or is the only major difference the lack of the load cell? Also, I recall reading somewhere that the force feedback from the pedals is limited in the forza games compared to GT5 or PC.

In any case, I'm glad this bundle pack is available for so cheap because I looked in Gamestop the other week and saw the laughable 250bux plastic madcatz wheel+pedal set they had.

That's the exact wheel i'm looking to buy too, Fox of Stone. $300 is a really good deal for what you are getting and i've heard pretty good things.

Anyone got any thoughts on the CSR vs CSR-E wheel? Currently rocking CSR with CSR-E pedals and I guess I'm happy (even though there is still no firmwarepatch to fix whining from the wheel and a lack of the supposedly autoclutch you'll get with the CSR-E).

What I'm wondering about is the "feel" of the wheels tho. Anyone done any head to head comparison?

Looking into my funds today, I can totally afford a CSR and i'm seriously considering it right now. I badly need a racing wheel for Forza 4.

The CSR is GREAT, really! If they would only roll out a much-needed firmwarepatching for some minor niggles, it would be epic.

All in all tho, the CSR delivers massive amounts of awesome for not a very high amount of cash.

Oh yes, an '04 Marauder and a '96 Impala would be brilliant. My lottery win dream garage has a GT-engined Marauder and a LS9 Impala, so I'd love to be able to do it in game.

I'm trying to figure out a way to buy a Fanatec wheel with Amazon credit, I got a shitload of gift cards for Xmas and would love to upgrade from my worn out MS Wheel.

Also, according to the leaked list, Microsoft will be having a Forza sale on the marketplace tomorrow and that includes the season pass for Forza 4 so if you haven't picked it up yet, you might want to take a look tomorrow.

You're welcome.
If that is the real car list, Turn 10 will be 3/3 on awesome car packs. Lotus Cortina and 787B? Yes loving please!

If only they could throw out some track packs too. If we could get Spa, Bathurst or both, FM4 would be untouchable as the greatest racing game on pretty much every front.

Kee-RHIST. 787B? That's pretty much second only to the Lotus 49, and the odds of getting that in this game are exactly zero.

I was sick as a dog, and I haven't seen anyone else post results, so I presume that it didn't go.

poo poo poo poo poo poo. I've said this before but it bears repeating: I thought the engine sounded terrifying in GT5. That was before I knew how lovely the sound work was in GT5. Now that I can compare FM4 and GT5 (Zonda R, anyone?) I can say that if they get it right, that car is gonna sound like flaming nuclear fission death swooping down on your from behind with baying hellhounds and flying chainsaws.
