What is the 3rd aftermarket FE and where can I find it? Thought there was only the Mx-5 and BRZ.

Edit - never mind, looked it up and it’s the RX3 at the Daikoku spot.

Really disappointed in how much they nerfed the GT40 MK II (only engine swaps on the MKII is the nerfed Ford GT engine.) and the 2005 Ford GT. I still hate that you have to put in a horrible sounding V12 to make more than a 1000 hp when someone made 2700+ hp on the stock block in real life. A Ford GT should sound like a V8, putting a V12 in it is sacrilegious. They could have atleast made the engine swap a version of the V10 from the Cobra concept car.

Most of the Ford engines in the game make as much power with a twin turbo that the real life counterpart makes with a cheaper supercharger setup.

Would be nice to at least get them to S2 or P class.

I've played it and I'd agree with that. For me the original Forza Horizon on the 360 was brilliant and fresh. I skipped Forza Horizon 2 because I didn't have an Xbox One. Forza Horizon 3 I had on PC and again I thought that was brilliant and fresh. Probably one of my best racing game experiences ever.

Then I bought Forza Horizon 4 and for whatever reason it just never clicked with me. It felt too similar to Forza Horizon 3 and I couldn't get enthused about it. I skipped Horizon 5 because my PC was aging by the time it released. And Horizon 6 I've played on a Series X but again it did feel like more of the same again.

It's hard to fault it too much because it does so much well and the reviews and general opinion reflect this. But if you've played a few of these games already I would recommend your course of action and at least checking out some videos before paying full price for it.

I agree. What got to me with Forza Horizon 5 was the fact that it felt exactly the same as FH4, but in Mexico. I didn't play FH2 or FH3 before FH4, so going to FH5 and getting more of the same was weird.

I appreciate what PG has done, and they're definitely cashing in on the Japan craze that's going on right now, but it just feels like another repeat, the same game incentive structure and a world, at least to me, that looks pretty, but doesn't serve much of a purpose.

The one thing I can't really get passed is the roads. They are so, so wide. I know that's pretty much a Horizon trademark, but coming from someone who played Forza Motorsport 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and had to fight alongside the community to get Turn 10 Studios to make an accurate Nurburgring that didn't feel like a winding Atlanta highway, I just don't have much interest in going back to stuff like that.

That said, it does look like a fun game to kick back and play, but I'm just not the target audience for it anymore, which sucks because I would have loved it when I was younger.
 
Unlike the MX-5 which has been discussed in this thread at length I wasn't aware you could pick up a Subaru BRZ FE on the side of the road as well until @breyzipp mentioned it in the above post. Looks like Snow Forest Cross Country Circuit is the place to hang out for this one.

Nachi Run is extremely narrow, especially with cars coming in the other direction. I guess some folks will never be satisfied.

As you've alluded to, Forza Motorsport fans who lobby for an accurate width Nordschleife, simply aren't the target audience for Horizon. Besides, there plenty of narrow roads and routes to negotiate, in and out of Tokyo, certainly far more than have been in any previous Horizon title.

Would be slightly jarring to have every road at a realistic width, to then hurl a 1000bhp wheely-ing Peel P50 down it at 250mph.

Watch AC Evo release its own open world and then people complain about how annoyingly narrow all the roads are 😅.

Made it to Legend Island. I‘m still at an 8/10.

Very good game, just not as good as its predecessor imo.
