Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Stupornaut]

One of the Festival Playlist events has me wondering: has anyone ever done a breakdown of the Iconic Movie Cars category, and what movies they came from? Because once I figured out that the '79 Z/28 is probably there because of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and I'm guessing the '71 Mach 1 is from the only true original Gone in 60 Seconds, I'm starting to wonder how deep their cinematic references go. Because I'm also seeing the '75 Ford Bronco on that list, and the one movie I know that generation model having a prominent appearance in is Three Days of the Condor. Maybe some IMCDB sleuthing is in order.

(Then again, most of them are either kind of obvious -- the DeLorean was in a movie besides The Wedding Singer, right? -- or spans multiple possibilities. Is the Countach on that list because of Cannonball Run or The Wolf of Wall Street?)

DeLorean > BTTF
Fury > Christine
Falcon > Mad Max
DB5 > Bond
32 Ford > American Graffiti
68 Mustang > Bullitt
70 Challenger > Vanishing Point
69 Charger > Dukes of Hazzard
77 T/A > Smokey and the Bandit

I'm sure there's many more.

Yeah, those were kind of the gimmes that jumped right out at me, but I'm wondering what specific film, say, the '69 Camaro is supposed to represent. The Yenko from 2 Fast 2 Furious? And is it just me or are some of these more iconic as TV cars (the Miami Vice Testarossa, the Knight Rider Trans Am, the A-Team Vandura)?

Probably,

A search of IMCDB shows no 69 Camaros featured in any major movies, at least not on that site.

The Lucid Air drives like it should do: Heavy with crazy electric power on the straights.

It's not like the Taycan or Evija which are intended for driving around corners on race tracks, it's mostly about comfort and speed off the line (since our American friends all care about 1/4 mile starts more than lap times).

I mean, when I think of the Bronco in any sort of cinematic way, I think of OJ Simpson’s (bleh) chase, and with the way it was broadcasted on TV news, it might as well have been a movie. But OJ’s Bronco was a 1994 model…

The ‘Movie Cars’ category is kind of a misnomer too because there are plenty of cars famous from TV series as well as previous mentioned.

Anyway, I used that championship as an opportunity to drive my recently-acquired Fury with a lazy tune. Despite the upgrades, I could still feel its age…

 

[Stang616]

It seems to be more of a randomly chosen movie car list. The Falcon isn't there nor is the DB11, '70 Camaro or newer Camaro.

I haven't got the Belvedere yet, but one interesting trivia about this car is that it's not 100% factory. Of course it has something to do with sourcing, but when in Forzavista, you can see that the engine block has been given a restomod. There's an aftermarket intake manifold known as Street Dominator, made by Holley, alongside a Mopar breather cap. Now if anyone has pictures of the '64 Belvedere's engine bay in Forzavista, I'd like to know if that's true or not. Air cleaner itself is also lacking the Commando 426 label, which, again, means it may have been a restoration model.

Its also NOT a 426 Hemi. I don't have the game in front of me but I want to say that in the description of the vehicle it said that it was a 5.9L which would make it the 361 ci. I'll have to check when I get home.

In any case, it's way, way closer to stock than the GMC Jimmy.

There are also a bunch of brands mentioned in the text strings. Keep in mind that these brands has been in the files for awhile. What i've noticed is that these brand text strings are added to the files sometime during the lifespan of the game, but i'm not sure when exactly they added it.

• DUQUEINE
• Maxton Design
• Prior Design
• Triple Seven
• Robot Craftsman
• KFD Team
• Battle Aero
• Auto Tuned
• Tony Star Performance (yes this is the correct name)
• Aeroflow Dynamics

I love the Belvedere.

I've noticed that the Corvette Z06's sound has been butchered somewhat, where it sounds almost closer to the Cadillac V-Series.R from FM8. In real life, the Corvette Z06 is supposed to sound like a McLaren.

This weeks Hot Wheels championship has 2 circuit races who are back to 3 laps again. And the Waterslide is one of them
That race has been part of the Hot Wheels championship like 4 times out of the last 6 weeks...

I just got the Z06 this morning. It sounds very weird and not in a good way. Almost sounds like the viper V10 to me.

This happened in Mexico City in the early hours of today... Man, that danger sign is difficult!

The car that came up on the first page when searching for this shop's name.
…Will we get Acura Integra and this one-off wide body kit?

.......the bloody Lucid Sapphire though!!!!! It was like trying to control a greased up fat piglet on a bed of sheet ice every time I came to a corner. It might just be my driving but I could not get on with that thing lol. It took me 5-6 attempts before I had a clean run.

Yes that was blooddy awful. You just notice the weight of this behemoth trying to brake before a corner and trying to push it around. I know what I´m gonna do to this thing once I get my hands on it. Big time weight reduction

The Lucid Air drives like it should do: Heavy with crazy electric power on the straights.

It's not like the Taycan or Evija which are intended for driving around corners on race tracks, it's mostly about comfort and speed off the line (since our American friends all care about 1/4 mile starts more than lap times).

Now that I’ve driven it, I agree. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still looking forward to getting it in the game, but it is definitely Floaty McFloatface.

If we're getting the Integra, I really hope it's the strong and spicy Type S variant, so that it's more of like a cousin to the Honda Civic Type R.

It could definitely do with stiffer suspension, weight loss and being ever so slightly lower.

Accelerates with devilish power, but handles like a brick-**** outhouse. The Lucid Air Sapphire almost as heavy as most SUV's and in some cases, trucks (even heavier than the Chevy Silverado in the latest car pack), but it is quite formidable, especially when I reached nearly 200mph, driving it in its Featured Rivals event on the Festival Playlist.

Yes the Z06 sounds ****ing awful, it sounds like a cross plane muffled by turbos or some ****

What were PG smoking releasing it with that sound

They probably got confused with the sound of the Cadillac V-Series.R ever since FM8 was out. Like I said, the Z06 is supposed to have a McLaren or Ferrari-like sound as I remember hearing that it uses a flat-plane.

Must admit I'm impressed by that reference as I'd always pictured it as a peculiarly British thing, with it being a British boat. Anyway, dont you mean Attenborough McAttenborough

I agree too but literally everyone hates this car so bad beyond belief. Even that one site where I contribute says they hate it so bad because it's an EV. Shall I tell you how much the community throws a fit every time an EV gets added? Yes.

They even said the Lucid Air is uglier than Tesla.
