December Car Pack Clue Thread

[JPinto]

Clue 1
Sometimes I like fish tacos, but other times I just prefer pasta with sausage.

Clue 2
If someone tells you that something is unnecessary or over-the-top, it’s probably something you actually want and you should talk to that other person anymore.

Clue 3
One-off, one-win wonder!

Clue 4
Long before the Hemi, there were other engines with hemispherical heads that radically improved performance. This car is one of them.

Clue 5
Bare bones and basic. You could chase or be chased in it.

Clue 6
This will become the oldest car in the Forza Motorsport series.

Clue 7
This is a rig that can truly do just about anything depending on the configuration.

 

[RazorSharkz]

3 will probably be the Brabham Fan Car that's been rumored.

6 I hope is either a Deusenberg or 1909 Marmon Wasp

Dodge's first run with the Hemi was in the late 40s so it would have to be older than that I guess. Lots of old metal this month it seems.

 

[FT-1]

Well... At least two of those cars are over 50 years old, I know that much.

 

[Nacho Libre]

I hope 3 is the Tyrell P34, six-wheeled, one win wonder!

 

[RazorSharkz]

I hope 3 is the Tyrell P34, six-wheeled, one win wonder!

Not a one off though

 

[Marqus]

Come on 2J...

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Chances of Number 7 being a Unimog or a Defender?

 

[Stang616]

They are all cars that have never been in Forza before, according to John.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Fingers crossed for a Ford Model T. I'm dead serious.

 

[Stang616]

Fingers crossed for a Ford Model T. I'm dead serious.

I'm right there with you and I guessed that, but John said he hadn't seen any correct guesses yet, so...

 

[Nacho Libre]

Not a one off though

Then it must be the Brabham BT46B fan car

Clue 7

[bremics]

What's currently the oldest car on the roster?

Maybe they'll bring back the carriage from GT?

 

[Stang616]

32 Ford.

 

[Northstar]

I just hope the cars are as usable as the first pack has been.

The good thing about secondary accounts is that you can try the cars without worrying about your save vanishing.

 

[ClydeYellow]

Hm, those clues keep getting more criptic every month, don't they?

Clue 4 - Long before the Hemi, there were other engines with hemispherical heads that radically improved performance. This car is one of them.

Hm. It may not have come "long" before the Hemi, but didn't the Lotus 23 mount a Twin Cam engine? And didn't say engine have hemispherical heads? Also, if I recall correctly, the Lancia V6 fitted in the D24 was a "hemi", too.

Clue 6 - This will become the oldest car in the Forza Motorsport series.

Currently, the oldest car in Forza is a 1932 Ford... I guess a 1927-1931 Bugatti T35C would fit the bill?

On the others, I raise my hands.

Clue 5
Bare bones and basic. You could chase or be chased in it.

What do Red 2, For Your Eyes Only and Le Gendarme De Saint Tropez have in common?

 

[-Fred-]

You might be on to something here.

 

[GroupB]

Which Hemi? Chrysler had one in the ‘50s as well.

 

[Snorevette]

Does anyone have any ideas about Clue 1? Fish tacos supposedly originate from Baja California in Mexico, which of course is going to have connections to trophy trucks as well as cars like the Subaru Baja, but I'm not sure where to go with regards to the pasta with sausage part.

Clue 2 is especially cryptic considering it could refer to more or less every hypercar ever made, and also every time I look at it I can't get over the fact that there's a grammatical error ('you should talk to that person anymore').

 

[ykiki]

Car 1. I'm thinking the Inferno. The car is not only Mexican, but is the creation of Antonio Ferrarioli, who has designed components for Lamborghini

 

[Lancia Casate]

Car 3 maybe the Peugeot 208 Pikes Peak?

 

[Clark]

I was wondering if maybe Car 3 was the Penske Mercedes-Ilmor IndyCar from the 1994 Indy 500?

 

[neddyie118]

What do Red 2, For Your Eyes Only and Le Gendarme De Saint Tropez have in common?

So this must be Citroen 2CV fingers crossed:tup:

 

[Northstar]

It depends on what they classify as a one-off as the chassis itself was around for two seasons.

 

[ALAN ULTIMATE]

This.

 

[ThunderLips]

Oldest and slipperiess yet.

 

[HuskyGT]

More street cars, everyday beaters and classic cars, please!

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

With the Gran Turismo 4 style approach I'm doing on my second account with this game, I plan on doing a proper 1000 miles event and making whatever car clue 6 is referring to the prize car.

 

[Forzallday]

Chances of Number 7 being a Unimog or a Defender?

A unimog would be really nice to see. The one truck I can think of that can do just about anything would be some kind of Ford Powerstroke
