Just found this?

What the heck?! A fricken Juke?! :lol:


Personally it's a very weak pack, especially since it's not with the season pack.

C7 Corvette with Aero pack and some performance upgrades, could have some fun with this.
C1 Corvette? Never been a fan.
Wagoneer? Not my thing.
Don't like the body styling of the AMC.
TTS isn't that interesting to me. Hasn't really changed in 13 years.
The Bugatti might be fun, but it's also the free car so...
So basically, you think it's a weak pack just because you don't like any of the cars in it.

Right...

Well in all honesty that's what it boils down to; if the cars don't appeal to you, then you probably won't have a high opinion of it. I personally think its one of the weakest packs just for the general selection.

Inclusion of two Corvettes, both variations of models already in-game, and one - whilst historically significant - has nothing to offer besides arguably better looks than the one already in the game.

The AMC is a great car, but like most of the muscle car inclusions, it doesn't fit the setting or 'feel' of the game too much; the the Jeep has the exact same problem. A Panda 4x4 or some other oddball European off-roader would have been decent.

The TTS will be fun I'm sure but its just a bit meh. There's nothing spectacular (to me at least) about it that'd make me pick it over another car or Audi even, for both events and just cruising.

The Bugatti is a welcome return however, no issues with that at all.

Make no mistake, I like all of the cars in the pack from an objective viewpoint, but that's not to say I want them in this particular game. The oddball, classic American stuff will have more of a place in FM6 I'm sure.
 
Funnily enough, if I don't like the cars in the pack, I don't like the pack.

Weird huh?
I guess I just felt bothered on how you stated it being a weak pack as a fact rather than saying "I think" or "In my opinion". Though, I didn't word that. I regret posting that comment now, my apologies.

I honestly regret posting that now, I was thinking something else when I posted it.

I agree about the TTS, that's not really an exciting car in my eyes either. Though, I think I'll just agree to disagree with your other posts regarding the Corvettes & AMC.

No need for apologies bro, the Internet is all about different opinions.

My last post was kinda a dick post though, sorry about that.
 
These a front forza splitter and a wing delete for the z06.

[
The C1 has the test mule fin and panel over the passenger seat:



Looks very nice without all the chrome trim on it.

The Jeep has bumper & rack delete, Z06 has rear wing delete.

Thanks guys :)

Im in two minds about this pack, the Bugatti, Z06 Corvette and the Audi appeal to me but the three other cars dont as much so Im unsure as to whether ill buy the pack.

That said I just downloaded the Bugatti as its the free car and its just awesome-it looks splendid and driving it feels like an occasion, ive hit 322kph in it on the freeway just before, it was still accelerating until I hit traffic-literally.

It also has the engine swap capacity for the Veyron engine which costs 486,000cr. Wow

EDIT: HOLY MOLY. I just ran the whole Sisteron route to Montellino stopping just by the side road off the motorway that takes you down to Zona Industriale. I managed to reach 223 MPH / 358 KM/H before the end of the motorway. Given the factory SS with 611 BHP. If this car was upgraded to 865 BHP from Dauer and even though the Dauer weighed a little more then this SS with 1418 KG. I'm pretty sure he did see 250 MPH down the german Autobahn. *$@&%!

I'm pretty sure Bugatti were maybe being way too reasonable in 1992 with the Top speed numbers and did they really officially test it to 216/217 MPH and then when they hit that number just stopped there thinking it was fast enough, that make we wonder, that being said theres always a possible chance they were being a bit too conservative. Still an amazing sounding car, impressive sound and impressive performance on this game. It really handles nicely too. Love it.

Sorry guys but I just have to write about this gorgeous car all over again for those information I didn't include in my last post. Theres new information on the cars which I have taken time to research if know one else has the time or has done any research. Theres some interesting facts about the various EB110 models.

The 1991 model Bugatti EB110 1991 pictured below had a 3.5 L 60 Valve V12 553 BHP engine with 4 IHI Turbochargers and finally 561 BHP. 213 MPH top speeds were possible 0-60 MPH of 4.2 secs was still enough to beat a Ferrari F40 and Porsche 959 in 1991. Apparently the 4WD was a 21 : 70 torque split setup.

The GT models were made from 1991-1995 I believe. Aesthetically the car had an automatic rear spoiler, steel wheels? and normal see thru rear window. Later GT models may have replaced some aluminium panels for carbon fibre body work. The weigh of the GT was 1,615 KG (3,560 IBS)

Five pre production prototypes were produced with a full aluminium body carbon fibre tub chassis were used to test the new engine. Followed by eight models with a composite chassis. Only 139 EB110 GT's were made between 1991 - 1995

The 1992 model Bugatti EB110 SS pictured below had a 3.5 L 60 Valve V12 603 BHP and finally 611 BHP with 4 IHI Turbochargers. 216 MPH top speeds were possible. 0-60 MPH shaved a whole second taking it down to 3.2 secs.

The car was lighter weighing only 1,418 KG (3,216 IBS) than the GT model and as only 31 were made. Aesthetically the car had a fixed rear spoiler and a new design alloy wheels, and a rear window with circular holes which gave it a peculiar and interesting look.

The chassis configuration was even more radical to save weight, superfluous elements like air conditioning and wood moldings removed the passenger compartment. Only 31 EB110 SS were apparently made.

L-Bugatti-EB110-3.jpg


In 1994-1995 sales were taken from the Bugatti from the new McClaren F1 which was faster, lighter and more expensive with 3 seat passenger compartment. In 1995 Bugatti was already facing bankruptcy from the recessions in 1994. They had to sell off Lotus with declining results and lack of sales.

With the dissapearance in 1995 of Bugatti. A german company called Dauer had bought a few chassis, enough to join a few years EB110 GT and EB110 SS for a few years components. The german company has sold several Dauer EB110, with the only difference of having a boosted 865 BHP. Dauer EB110 SS pictured below.

It is rumoured the Dauer EB110 has a Nurb time of less than 7 secs. In 2011 the german company, Dauer went Bankrupt, and another german company tucany motors GmbH bought the remaining stock of parts in order to provide service and maintenance to existing EB110.

The Dauer EB110 SS made 865 BHP thanks to lower weight of 1,480 KG (3,263 IBS). A more optimized 4WD traction control can hit 0-60 MPH in 3.3 seconds. With an estimated top speed of 230 MPH. Dauer says he has seen 400 KMH (250 MPH) indicated on the Autobahn but we would need time to verify that at Nardo.

The Dauer also had a more accomplished 4WD 40 : 60 ration to help optimize the 4WD traction. It immediately obvious how much better the car is finished and resolved in its detail. Adopting the US- style bumpers which actually help protect the car better and help improve aesthetics.

The car was built to much higher interior quality than a standard lancia type interior complete with finest german leather quality applied by italian craftsmen. The Dauer also includes the latest Kenwood navigation system including a dvd player and tv tuner. Apparently on 35 Dauer EB110 SS were made.

I'll be driving my EB110 for a while and then upgrading it to look like the Dauer pictured above with the similar engine specs and weight that the Dauer model has. Then I'll see if I can fine tune it to 230 MPH with that BHP / weight and torque split ratio of 40 : 60. To see if I can hit 230-250 MPH like the real Mr Dauers one can as he says.

Well, I think it's safe to say that some of my favorite cars to drive in FH2 are 1990s supercars such as this Diablo. I just love driving them around the roads in this game; the environment coupled with the cars give me a classic NFS feeling.

Now, I think I was going Corvette & EB110 crazy before, because my judgement on this pack didn't exactly sound clear. With that said, I'll share my actual thoughts on this months dlc pack. Well, I still love the C7 Z06; I'm truly glad that I finally was able to give this monster a test run in FH2. Heck, I liked it so much that I bought a second Z06 not too long after getting the first one. Though, that might be because seeing one in real life had an effect on me.

I still love the Bugatti EB110 SS as well, I'm glad this was the next car from the 360 version that Turn 10 decided to model for the X1 version. It's really a blast to drive on the road and seems to pack quite a punch. I also sort of like the addition of the AMC Rebel as the AMC car lineup is kinda down in this game and I haven't seen Turn 10 add a new AMC car to their Forza games in a long time. The '53 Corvette is another welcomed addition to me as I honestly prefer this Corvette over the other C1 that was in the game already. It's lighter and seems like it'll be more agile aswell. I honestly thought that this should have been the C1 Corvette that Turn 10 should have put in FH2 from the start. Okay, the last 2 vehicles; the Jeep and the new Audi TTS are sort of meh. I mean, I did try the TTS Coupe and I found it a bit enjoyable to drive, but it wasn't all exciting. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer also is not really as exciting to me as the SUVs already put in FH2.

Overall, I think the pack was good, but not anything great or excellent. If I were to make any changes, I would say that instead of the Jeep; Turn 10 could have added an old LR Range Rover or a Chevrolet K5 Blazer. Rather than an Audi TTS; I would rather see a Kouki Nissan Silvia S14.

My thoughts are the same as yours. The cars I love from this pack are the Bugatti '92 EB110, '53 Corvette and then the '15 Z06. I'm really impressed with the Bugatti, '51 C1, being the only cars I've driven so far.

Despite its meagre output, the Wagoneer has a lot of heart. It's good fun off-road, especially Storm Island. The gearing is long so you get up to decent speed eventually, but the sound is worth it. Might make a supercharged one for mudding.
 
I've thinking about starting a weekly photo challenge. Not a contest, but just a challenge with a specific theme or car or location, something to challenge the player/photographer. It could be a different challenge each week. Anyone interested?
 
My copy arrived today, downloaded all the free cars and activated my Xbox Live subscription. My gamertag is Quattro Saltire for if anyone wants to send me an FR and if there's any GTP clubs.
