Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[-Fred-]

Aside from the obviously better headlight textures on the Soarer, the models themselves are pretty similar. Still think the Vertex kit on the SC300 is better, but that's just me.

Very true bud. His tunes are always worth trying out too.

In other news, I've just been hanging out in The Trial with @Seb75 . He did far better than I did too. I went into it under powered, however with @Seb75 driving and two other team mates we romped home in two races. It was a pleasure racing with you bud 👍 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Likewise 😁 I was very pleased seeing you in the line-up.
I had a power build tune. So I could race to the front, brake the front two AI drivers until the other 2 700pp cars could catch up and make sure we ended up as the top 3 for a guaranteed win 😏
In the second race I tried to keep the AI in check for @Edax 76 to catch up. But they were to agressive and I didn´t want to risk losing the race. I am sorry, Bud. I tried 😅

Hey mate not your fault, you did the right thing and went for the points. I had the handling but lacked power. Here's hoping for another pair up soon.

I´ll drink to that 😎 Here´s to meeting more fellow members from GT Planet

The 90s was the time the Mexican economy really opened thanks to the NAFTA trade agreement. Then we started getting more brands and cars and stuff in general, and everybody that could finally got cable TV (and MTV). In my family my dad was a Chrysler/Dodge customer, so in the 90s we had the Dodge Spirit, the Shadow (my college car), the Neon and the Cirrus later in the decade. Sure, Honda had better cars, but they were expensive then and now.

I guess this goes hand in hand with the whole "lack of Mexican cars like the Mexican Dodge Magnum" argument, but now that you mention the Spirit...

Built in Mexico, had a Mexico-only lesser variant used as a police car in Mexico, goes like stink even by modern standards (5.8 second 0-60 is pretty good going for FWD!) and to top it off would be a fun gift to the sleeper/everyday car people, even though it's remarkably rare (less than 1500 sold in the US). Yes please.

Ah yeah, the Spirit R/T had a DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder 2.2-liter 224 HP engine and a 5-speed manual. The 2-door coupe Dodge LeBaron R/T (the Phantom here) briefly shared that engine I believe.

The police cars did not have this engine, but a 168 hp turbo engine.

Weebs and drifters rejoice: Hoshido City 2.0 "Redux" is out.

That or the little brother Dodge/Chrysler Shadow, which was the car used for the "Motorsport World Cup" in the late 1980s held in Mexico. Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth from early 1980s to about 1995 is severely underrepresented in video games in general.

PG knows their audience well enough to know that giving us those cars would not do much for more than a tiny majority.

We clearly need another Huracan next (Sterrato!)

Hah, if I'd remembered the Sterrato I would've factored that into my preliminary prediction, crap. Ah well, at least I could probably drop that in place of the Elantra N, since that'd at least stand a good chance of being classed as a Track Toy.
