XBox 360 Forza 4 100% Completed Chapter Three

Gentle reader,

The response to my posts about my completion of Microsoft's Forza 4 is overwhelming! Obviously, I am one of MANY who enjoy the realism of this racing simulation.

I have another "game" called: GRID Autosport and while challenging, it's graphics leave much to desire. Spoiled by Forza!

So, without further ado, here's the next 15 digital cars in my virtual, VERY BIG, garage:

Another of my Carroll Shelby touched vehicles. I like this paint scheme.

Next, we have the original "Pony" car that started it all. The 1965 Ford Mustang. Seeing as how it out performs a newer Shelby Mustang, it is not stock! Nice paint scheme here too.

A USA market, thus left-hand-drive Accura Integra Type-R. The hot one! Has aftermarket body kit and performance parts galore!

Next, never sold AS or badged as a Ferrari, the 1969 DINO 246 GT was named after and to honor Enzo Ferarri's son that died it early adulthood. Nice, period correct livery.

This 2010 Peugeot RCZ was their answer to Audi's TT. Looks like it, too.

Of course, except for the base model, all TTs were quattro all-wheel-drive. Believe it or not, the Mazda Miata below was all the way up in "A" class, but nearly undrivable. I dropped it back to "C" class where it rules!

The only Toyota Supra in my garage. Also one of the last truly sporty cars they made until the Scion BR-Z.

I'm not sure what the painter was doing with the pattern on the front end.

Next, one of the most sought after early Audis: The Ur-quattro. Street version of the all conquering World Rally race cars.

It's paint scheme is in tribute to the race car that you will see later on. 

The only late model Fiat that I own and not sold in the USA. This Punto is normally front-wheel-drive, but I changed it to AWD and did other fun stuff to it.

Nice, patriotic livery sponsored by DHL Worldwide.

Below, is one of the less attractive Alfa Romeo cars. Yet quite capable in racing form.

It suffers from the aforementioned limit on paintability: the black strip on the front bumper insists upon staying black!

Now, one of the oldest cars available, the "FABULOUS HUDSON HORNET" memorably brought to life in Pixar's CARS movie voiced by the late Paul Newman. Himself an accomplished and winning racer.

The livery is historically accurate. I did many mods to make it a "B" class racer. Note the driveline changes below.

Next, a Generation Ten (X) version of Mitsubishi's Lancer Evolution. Street version of their World Rally cars. 

Next a car I would dearly love to own, the first of Audi's "RS" line, the RS2. BTW, RS is German for racing: Renn Sport. Nice racing livery. The RS2 was built by PORSCHE for AUDI. The wheels are in fact, PORSCHE wheels. They agreed to build the car as long as it wouldn't compete directly with any POSRSHCE cars. Thus the AVANT, station wagon to us, body choice.

The last two, today are polar opposites in design. The first, the Nissan Silvia, (240SX in the USA) is still beloved for drifting today. Silly, wasteful form of motorsports, if you ask me.

The European Ford Escort was front-wheel-drive except in racing form. Again, "RS". Quite a fun car to drive and never imported here.

That's it for today. Thanks again for taking the time, all these years, to read and enjoy my blog.  I appreciate your kind and encouraging comments.
