One thing about this is that they can mandate certain assist settings or cockpit view. If you never play with Simulation steering or Manual w/ Clutch, you could suddenly find yourself grinding gears and spinning out of corners without any warning. You can check those settings ahead of time in the lobby menu, but it's a bit time consuming to do every single time you join a room. Just something for VYPA-SQUAD_Ace to remember.
Those are DLC cars. You should help yourself to the dozen-or-so free "sample" cars -- which contain all of the data for each pack -- and then you'll see the actual car instead of the Jetta. And you'll have an extra dozen cars. 👍

The C9 isn't hacked, that car is just way faster than it should be on Forza capable of 270 mph with very good accel and decent handling. Unfortunately Forza is all over the board with the performance of the race cars which seem to be different on every version so far. For example the 962 Porsche on Forza2 was moderately fast and handled very good and was pretty good on the ring. In Forza 3 it was slow and would finish dead last in the endurance race around the ring. In Forza 4 is is super fast and handles horribly. Other P1 and P2 cars are dramatically different from one version to the next even though they are supposed to be the same car.
There may be a cause and solution for that. IIRC, one of the options for grid order is "Reverse PI." That would place you ahead of anyone who has a higher PI. Taking a faster car won't help wheelspin (unless it's AWD of course), but if you join a restricted class lobby, you could max out the PI for your class and watch the first-corner mayhem from a safer vantage point.

I'd recommend restricted-class lobbies in general. Open lobbies are where all the youngest players go -- whether in body or in mind.
Maybe, depends on which race cars they are using and how your Zonda is built. The Zonda R is basically a race car and is in the R2 class stock. I think it can go into the R1 class when fully modded out but am not sure as I have not used it for quite a while. In either case it is based on the PI number so if you are at the top of R2 with the Zonda and other drivers are running R1 cars then you would be in front if they were using R3 you would be in the rear if the PI is the same then you could be almost anywhere in the grid. There is apparently a hidden decimal place on the PI so it is possible for 1 800 pi car to be a slightly higher 800 than another with an 800

I think they're a great idea, but rather poorly executed. The stock production hopper is an absolute waste of something I wanted badly; the repetitive cycle of car/track combos seriously kills it.
Ouch. Any stock loaner won't do you much good at all.
Everyone's gonna have their own (much faster) upgraded cars.
WolfeOuch. Any stock loaner won't do you much good at all.
I suppose that also kind of made you a target for the other players.
That depends on what you want from a racing game/ I know some people who like it a lot. I pre-ordered it then returned it a few days later as I did not like it. While it had some potential to be fun the fact that you could not tune the cars and that it felt more like an NFS title turned me off quite a lot.
