Relaxed, General Forza 6 Chat

The Ferrari FXX-K is fast as FXX-K!!!

Was the Driveclub reference intentional?

 

[FoRiZon]

Well, the RR Sport SVR got me motivated to start taking my trucks and SUVs racing. I've never really given utility vehicles that much attention. I guess I just never cared for them as much as cars. Though, I did actually enjoy racing the Range Rover against other SUVs around Silverstone a bit and it felt quite quick.

The Ferrari FXX K felt kinda easier to drive than I expected a vehicle of that type to be.

Anyhow; if I made any changes to this pack; I probably would get rid of the Rolls Royce and replace that with the Falcon XY GTHO or Ford GT LM. The Dodge Charger hellcat would be replaced by another group 5 race car; I'm thinking either the Celica IMSA or Chevrolet Monza.

Porsche 935

Porsche 935

I'm not getting my hopes up on that; I'm still not sure if Turn 10 will do a Porsche bonus pack like in FH2. That expansion pack could be all of the Porsches we get.

 

[05XR8]

At least the XJ-S is in the proper era Touring Car group. It's uncanny how smooth it handles.

I was just admiring my Ferrari collection in the game and noticed what appears to be edited car names for the 360 Challenge Stradale and 288 GTO (there might be more). I'm pretty sure these two didn't have 360 and 288 attached to them on the Find Car and My Cars views before. I only suspect this is part of today's update, so don't take my word for that. However, it's a bit funny because I believe 288 never served as an official designation for the GTO.

Every 288 I've seen either in person, in games, or on the internet has the 'GTO' badge on the back. I've never seen any with the model designation of '288', though.

I could be misinterpreting you, which is entirely possible, but do you mind elaborating?

I can try and reword it because I was being as clear as I can. I'm saying that Turn 10 added "360" to the Challenge Stradale and "288" to the GTO under the Find Car and My Cars views in the main menu. As you just suggested, the 288 is merely called GTO in official terms, so it's kind of strange that Turn 10 has introduced the 288 designation in FM6. I believe today's content update introduced those two name edits.

Thank you. I didn't see that you meant in the game, I thought you meant the official designation IRL.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Yeah, there definitely wasn't a 360 attached to the CS. Interesting.

Seems they've still kept the silly female voice un-skippable when purchasing cars now. It's been this way since the Porsche pack, and it's driving me nuts.

 

[RacerPaul]

Hahaha. The XJ-S' bumpers can be removed, and more so than any other car, it looks utterly bizarre without them

I love removing bumpers where possible. Makes things very clean imo

She should have her own volume slider.

You think that's bad? Try accidentally clicking on the Manufacturer history prompt in Forzavista. Yes, that's unskippable too.

What?

No, that's silly.

Oh believe me, I've done it a few times by complete accident. You have to sit there for 2 god darn minutes while she rambles on about the history of HUMMER. None of the buttons work until she finally ends her speech. I'm gonna try it again right now to see if they patched it, because it definitely happened post-Porsche pack. 👍

Edit: Huh. They actually fixed it. Good one Turn 10. 👍

That'll make getting the Rattle The Cage (5G) achievement on the Porsche 919 easier since you have to hit all the prompts before it's awarded.

 

[PJTierney]

I'm confused. What mystery? Where did it come from? And why would the older California be teased in any way, shape or form?

It's the next Unicorn; you can find the car name in the menus when you go to share a photo.

 

[PureAlpha1206]

I think we could see a Porsche here or there pop up in the DLC packs, but that's about it. Would be nice to get a couple more that aren't in the Porsche Expansion though.

Yes please... I also hope they'll bring RUF back in some way once the Porsche Expansion has cooled down a bit more. Former cars to the series are unlikely to be featured in car packs. Unicorns are a possibility but I'll oppose them as long as they keep them exclusive for what seems like forever. I'm still waiting for that Ferrari and Aston Martin to become obtainable, as they implied when they were up for grabs first time around.

Would be nice, but in the gaming community it really seems like an either/or situation with RUF and Porsche. Either we get Porsche and nor RUF, or the opposite is true. I suppose it's because they are so similar, but I can't recall any games that have them both.

 

[JR98]

but I can't recall any games that have them both.

I believe Forza 4 had a few RUF's before getting the Porsche Expansion.

Odd choice for a Unicorn, imo.

 

[PureAlpha1206]

I suppose they did Been a long time since I played 4 lol

Still, I don't think it's very likely but we'll see

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Yeah, always seemed a fairly unloved thing to me.

I believe Forza 4 had a few RUF's before getting the Porsche Expansion.

FH2 also features both Porsche and RUF.

Anyone else get the second Huracan? I did along with a Honda Civic WTCC.

Yup, got both as well.

I received the Civic. I'll have to see about the bull.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I think it had to do with a different event because it's a different livery than the first one.

 

[FoRiZon]

If you did an engine swap for a car, does said car also change the engine visually on Forzavista?

No. And the bonnet locks shut so you can't see it even if you wanted to.

 

[FoRiZon]

So after you do engine swap the bonnet cant be opened. Well sucks.
