I'm totally hooked... Like seriously!

So, who's got some good car suggestions?

In FH2 I had a Buick Regal GNX, which I modified and it was my 'goto' car. It looked great, went well and was predictable but fast. That thing won me a lot of races.

I haven't found a car which is similar yet. I've just bought and modified an '88 Monte Carlo Chevy which seems pretty predictable but no idea how quick it is in the real world yet.

Any weird/wonderful suggestions for genuinely quick cars once tuned?
The GNX 'Grand National' is in the game, but the only way to get one is to win one via a Wheelspin. I have however seen several on the auction house for not much money wink

A really fun car to cruise about in (that is seemingly unbeatable in buggy races) is the Nomad. So capable and so easy to control when sideways and I have overtaken other buggies around the outside in corners while on the lock stops, the thing just does what you want it too.
The Mustang GTR is top for me in Modern Muscle and sounds insane!

I drove a Rolls' on one of the Bucket list challenges the other day and I now want one. Pretty fast but also so easy to throw about sideways. Something very humorous in sliding around a massive Roll's convertible hehe

Thats the one. I really like it, great all-rounder at the level I have it on (think it's A-spec).

I love Forza 6 for how great the physics are, the circuits and the precision needed for quick laptimes.

However, I love Forza Horizon (more!) for how fun it is when I play online with my mates.

Both very different, but both very brilliant.

Cheers, I'm going to pick up a GNX Grand National and a Mustang GTR tonight and have a tinker...

I am in love with this game! wasnt a fan or either previous FH's but always been a FM fan

Having loads of fun in my S2 Class Nissan 240SX being sideways everywhere and also my S2 Range Rover SVR which just sounds awesome and eats most of the AI supercars and also crackles pops and bangs as soon as you let off the throttle. Will upload pictures soon!

If you can wait, Playground Games have said the Warthog will be winnable in an event during October for people who haven't played one of the qualifying Halo games.
Does anyone know if this is active yet please? smile

I don't think so, MS/Playground Games don't seem to have even announced a date yet. frown

Had my first venture online last night and what i can see is same as offline but with people and a few extra games but only if you join the games set up by others or if they join yours.

Ok so I'm not a huge fan of the Mustang GT350R... It's proper wild when upgraded to the top of it's class.

The rear is all over the show.

I think it needs a 'tune' - anyone got any ideas as otherwise it's quite pacey on the straights.

So the game has been out a week and there are technically two car parks available already?

This is why I don't like Turn10.

Sadly that's the way things are these days, particularly with Forza games.

I wouldn't have bought the pack based on those cars to be honest, but I got the ultimate edition for my birthday so I get the first six packs included in that. However, with Forza, at least you know that the game will have new content added to it on a fairly regular basis, even if you do pay for the privilege.

I've never played any of the Forza franchise. I have been a huge fan of the Gran Turismo games up to and including 6. Recently also been hugely enjoying Project cars of late with a G26 wheel.

Generally I prefer the realism aspect and the complex handling engines. My (quite possibly wrong) understanding is that Forza is more arcade-y rather than simulator-y - is that the case?
