With August here already, our next car pack should be just around the corner. And thanks to this picture by BADNED, seems our Jalopnik pack may finally here as well.

For those who don't remember, here's what "we" chose.

1: 1986 Dodge Shelby Omni GLHS
2: 1988 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R
3: 1992 GMC Syclone
4: 1971 AMC Javelin AMX
5: 1984 BMW M635 CSI
6: 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo-II
7: 1977 Saab 99 Turbo
8: 1987 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500
9: 1971 DeTomaso Pantera
10: 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo
11: 1982 Lancia 037 Stradale
12: 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth
13: 1982 DeLorean DMC-12
14: 1983 Volvo 242 Group A Homologated


The question is will we get all 14 cars or just 10. Either way, this is the one we've been waiting for.

I'm giddy like a crackhead!

I've been waiting for this since January!

Also, the 15th car is the 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS 454.

BTW, what do you guys think the PI points will be? My guesse:

GLHS: High F or Low E
Syclone: Low C
El Camino: High E or Low D
Starion: Mid D
2002: Mid E
M635CSi: High E or Low D
037: High D or Low C
Javelin: Mid E
SAAB: Mid F
Volvo: Mid E
DeLorean: Low F
Pantera: Mid D
190 E: Mid D
Sierra: Low D
Escort: Mid D
 
Thats a Chrysler Conquest, I'm not fooled its right hand drive :) Excited for that car! Wonder why the RX-3 got ignored...... The Omni GHS is clearly a typing error? Goes Horribly Slow? I would guess if its 15 cars they will make us pay for all of them. 750points is my guess.
 
Its pretty safe to asume that the Starion and the Bmw 2002 (theres some screenshots of it) made it into the final list.

This 6 cars are the ones i want most and the 3 bolded are the ones that i totally need in the final pack.

5: 1984 BMW M635 CSI
6: 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo-II
9: 1971 DeTomaso Pantera
11: 1982 Lancia 037 Stradale

12: 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth
13: 1982 DeLorean DMC-12

Same here. :) Even worse actually.

Feels like yesterday when last pack was out with that New McLaren. Crazy where the weeks go.

Anyway. So they've scanned the cars like the Veyron on this pack? Hope the Cossies get the treatment.
 
Well, it's about time...

This is the only car pack I've been at all excited for, since we first decided the vehicles to be in said pack. The other DLC packs I have bought, but only for the sake of completion.




;)
 
It's the Omni GLHS, or "Goes Like Hell, Shelby." Massive turbo strapped to a rough riding four cylinder, all somehow bolted into a L-Car chassis. It will be madness, absolute madness!

My enthusiasm cannot be contained for this pack. All of the vehicles are prime candidates for awesome E, D and C class bruisers. Properly tuned Mercs and Volvos will be a blast in the B class, for sure.
 
I thought it was "Goes Like Hell So'more" or roughly, that (some-more)?

I remember voting for these with plans of actually owning the game to make use of them. Plans change, and it's doubly disappointing a lot of my favourites ended up making the cut. Pretty sure a few of those have never been featured in a proper racing game, ever, before.

Niiiiice 👍

My thoughts exactly.

This is the first pack where I can easily see myself using every single car in the pack. A few of them are destined to become new favorites.

With my cockpit now sporting inverted CSP's, Forza has become fun again, after a long period of boredom. I am very much looking forward to heel/toe'ing my way around The Nurburgring in an older Volvo or Saab. It will be interesting to see how the Delorean performs as well. Cue the Back to The Future videos....




;)
 
The Syclone alone makes it worth it for me.
Exactly what I was thinking. This will be the first car pack I pay full price for. Its just too bad the 70 Cuda never made it to the finals. So close! Its also nice to see cars in lower class categories since I usually race everything under A class. This pack will be a lot of fun.
 
I keep wishing the E39 M5 would have been included, or the original Taurus SHO, but this is still a damn good list. I can't wait to see what the guys picked for #15. It better be something crazy.
 
When do we expect this car pack to drop ? 2nd week of August ?

Chapman

Yes, more like tuesday.

I want that Escort!! a friend of mine receive the very same car (ALSO THE SENNAS HELMET REPLICA) has an inheritance from that past-away brother, a rally racer.

He never let me (and no ones) touch either the helmet or the car, and i understand it.

As said earlier, the 15th car is supposed to be a 1970 El Camino SS454. Do you expect any different out of Jalopnik? Okay so it could've been a really rusted out Volvo 240 that already drives with 50% engine gamage and some wonky suspension.
 
Finally a good pack. I'll actually buy and use 5-6 of these cars instead of just 1-2 like the other packs. First car I'm going for will be the 190e and taking it to the 'Ring' first chance.

Absolutely. 👍

I will probably make a "Nurburgring Edition" trim package for it, like I did with my E30 M3.




;)
 
BMW 635 will do it for me - always been a fan - would be nice to drop a bigger engine into it - maybe an M5 upgarde ?

Chapman

That's my second choice.

I've always loved the old school "Big-Beemers".

If it's anything like the E30 M3, you won't be able to swap anything else in.
