The Porsche really look great in the screenshots. I can't wait to inspect all those models up close and take photos. :) It's just much simpler for me to receive everything in one place than going back through this thread which is also filled with DLC talk, Porsche talk, Porsche reveals, SarBear's GF talk, etc... Amazing tribute, shinnn. Hope more people see it.

Should I just post pictures of the new freak instead of stories?

[-Deadpool-]

Mmmmmm RS Spyder.

Got my new R1 grind car.

Since latest update Forza 4 has just been notifying me that it's "Saving Content. Please do not..." every ~5sec while in the menus... is this a common problem or am I the only one?

Game save is on a flash drive.

I've noticed this as well, but it seems pretty random. Sometimes does it on every transition, sometimes seems back to normal.

Hope it's not save game corruption coming on or something!

[op_ivy]

getting back into the event list reminded me - we NEED multiplayer 1v1 (or more?) track day races ala the nurburgring events. so. much. fucking. fun. begging for play with friends.

I've had it happen for a day or so at a time, but it usually goes right back to normal.

Hopefully nothing.

Am I right in assuming you can't back up the save game? I formatted a USB key through the Xbox last week with the utility, but when I went to copy the Forza 4 save file over it wouldn't let me. Guessing it's the same sorta 'copy protection' that some PS3 saves have yeah?

Yeah, you can move the save, but not copy it.

I've seen those in person. The image compression on that pic is doing us all a favour.

It's not THAT bad.

[Shaneus]

Compared to many other Porsches, it kinda is. Compared to most other cars, it's fine. Make of that what you will ;)

[Mascot]

It's not THAT bad.

It's worse.
One of the fugliest cars on the planet, methinks.

[soundscream]

It's worse. One of the fugliest cars on the planet, methinks.

Fugly thy name is FF

[Mascot]

Seriously, would any sighted person pick a Panamera over an FF..?

[G Rom]

It's worse. One of the fugliest cars on the planet, methinks.

Yeah, but since Ferrari revealed the FF, ugliness has a new name so the Panamera doesn't look so bad anymore I guess. :D
I don't really get their success though, if I had shitloads of money and was looking to buy a 4-door luxury sedan I'd look at the Rapide, Bentley's or Rolls-Royce's, they look way better than the ugly pigs that Porsche and Ferrari have produced recently...

Edit :

Seriously, would any sighted person pick a Panamera over an FF..?

If I had to choose between the two, I'd pick the Panamera yeah.
Wait, scratch that, I'd take the FF since it could probably be resold for more. :p

[CrudeDiatribe]

I'd take a Panamera over the Cayenne.

That's not saying much, though.

[Mascot]

In defence of the FF, it at least looks like it was designed from scratch. The Panamera just looks like Porsche stretched a 911 to fit two more doors on, then injected its ass with lard.

Plus I've always had a soft spot for shooting brakes, ever since a mate's dad had a Jensen Interceptor when I was a kid in the 70s.

[The_Monk]

Got some pictures for my fellow GAFfers.
Sorry if some of them were already posted, checked the last 2 pages in a hurry, didn't saw them.

2011 Porsche #54 Black Swan Racing 911 GT3 Cup






2005 ALMS GT #31 Petersen-White Lightning 911 GT3-RSR




2008 Porsche #2 Gruppe Orange Racing 911 GT3 Cup




2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo




EDIT: Rewinded some more pages back and it seems almost were already posted. My bad, just wanted to help. =/

[U n i o n 0015]

It's worse. One of the fugliest cars on the planet, methinks.

Every time I see a Panamera, it's usually in passing from the front and I'm like "oh cool Porsche!" and then it passes by and I see that massive, bloated, disgusting rear end. It's a bait and switch.

[guest1321]

Seriously, would any sighted person pick a Panamera over an FF..?

I don't necessarily like the look of the panamera, I do think it could look better. But I do want to drive it and am glad it is in the game. From what I have heard the interior of the car is reallllllyyy nice, which (while not super important) is a plus and might put it ahead of the FF for me.

Either way, pleased with addition.


@monk - The more pics the better. I don't mind be blasted with Porsche pics even if they are the same :)

2011 Porsche #17 Team Falken 911 GT3-RSR

[-Pixel-]

New one?

[twinturbo2]

Seems like they're going overboard with the GT3 RSR models.

[G Rom]

If by new one you mean a reskin of a new-to-FM Porsche they revealed before then yes...

[twinturbo2]

I'm going to rock the Flying Lizard car hard, but I'm still waiting for the 918 RSR/Spyder and/or the 917.

[U n i o n 0015]

Seems like they're going overboard with the GT3 RSR models.

They should just create a base car and have the different liveries as paint options. And you'd also have the option of fan-created liveries.

I hate the same model with a different paint job taking up roster spots.

[Xanadu]

1987 #17 Rothmans Porsche AG 962c

legendary car, i hope they get the speed more accurate in this game, if i remember correctly the top speed was 180mph or so in forza 2 and 3..what a joke

[-Pixel-]

If by new one you mean a reskin of a new-to-FM Porsche they revealed before then yes...

And meaning one of the new seven to FM?

[G Rom]

And meaning one of the new seven to FM?

Yeah, it takes one of the seven spots...


Also :

Buddy you have to remove that 917 from your mind or it will not take a good end with you.

:(

[Xanadu]

Yeah, it takes one of the seven spots... Also : :(

fuck the 917, more GT3 cup cars!

[Shaneus]

I remember driving in cars with those liveries in Melbourne House's Le Mans 24hr on Dreamcast.

[CrudeDiatribe]

I hate the same model with a different paint job taking up roster spots.

Me too, also that the number and name show up when it lists the car you're driving. My C6.R is #7, not #4, goddamnit.

They did it right with the Stock cars, the DTM cars, the GT3 BMW and Audi, and GT4 Masser.

[drugstore_cowboy]

That was an awesome game, I've still got a white label copy here but without a VGA cable I don't want to play the DC anymore.

[Shaneus]

First game I remember playing that did a great-looking dusk/night/morning mode, complete with the headlights that peer over the hill.

Also, remember the glowing brake discs that had that light-trail effect? God damn, that was a beautiful game.

[Mascot]

Yeah, it takes one of the seven spots...

Turn 10 do themselves NO favours when they continue to pull shit like this.

The free track better be Spa or Bathurst, that's all I'm saying.

[Shaneus]

I somehow doubt that's all you're saying ;)

But that IS very, very dodgy though. That's almost, um, that other dev levels of trolling :/

[sneaky77]

I don't think there's a track coming, they would have mentioned it I would think

[-Deadpool-]

Looking unlikely that were going to get a good selection of new fan requested classics now; 918/918 RSR, 917K, 935, 356... Just not enough spots left.

Still, I can't complain - 550 Spyder is a brilliant addition.

Just eliminate all the weak-ass Boxster models and that'll open up a few slots.

Boxster + Boxster S would be acceptable I think. We don't need multiple liveried 2011 GT3-RSR's though, especially as the community will have most/if not all of the possible race liveries created after a week anyway.


We need this:

Fucking women. They come in droves when you're not even looking or wanting to be bothered. But when I'm tall like the statue of liberty there's none in sight.

not post about it on the the forza thread would be a start

it will be very disappointing if the 917 is not included, and if theres no track then i give up on t10

[SarBear]

Sounds like a plan. Have to free up some memory on the phone. LoL

The latest Rear View Mirror mention Shortt Sirkett (50days), congrats.

Am I confused or did they get confused? Wait, now I'm more confused...stole your idea?

50 Days of Green Hell   Here’s a concept, pick 50 cars and run them around the Nürburgring, a track lovingly referred to as “The Green Hell” by racing legend Jackie Stewart. While this may not earn you an Xbox achievement, it is certainly an achievement. Dead Poul and Shortt Sirket earned their “Green Hell” badge in this thread and posted a video of each car doing it.   Now I propose the following, while not as hardcore as 50 cars in 50 days, I think this will be fun.   Johniwanna’s 5 Days of Green Hell Want a unicorn? Pick a car and run a lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Follow these rules and post up a video of your lap on YouTube and then post a link to it in this week’s RVM thread. I’ll pick ten winners by Friday and give them unicorn of choice. My criteria will be most unique car used, fastest lap time, coolest “Green Hell” livery (liveries not required), and style. Drifters welcome!   Rules are simple, no assists, no HUD, no map, no rewind, cockpit view only. You can tune the car to your liking. In your thread post, tell me the car you used, your unicorn of choice and any definitive details of why I should watch and choose your video.

[CrudeDiatribe]

Shortt made it to Turn 10's Rear View Mirror.

Too bad the link doesn't work.

EDIT: Beaten.

Thanks guys, I just saw the mention. It is too bad they borked the link though! Glad they thought it was interesting enough to use, although I wish they would have featured one of my videos also.

Oh well.

Oh, we'll get them alright, we just need to be patient. They are being held back for the June, July and August DLC packs.

FUCK. When did I turn into such a cynical bastard? This is YOUR fault, Dan!

Edit: well done with the name check, Shortty..!
