Default Forza Motorsports - 944 Turbo

I just received Forza Motorsports for my Xbox as a Christmas gift and what a pleasant surprize to find one of the cars in the game is an 89 944 Turbo. The car looks great, although they put phone dials on it. Never had a game with our cars on it and wanted to let you know. It was perfect timing too as I just put my car in winter storage earlier in the day.

You must try to find Need for Speed: Porsche Unleased. It includes the 944 turbo and every major Porsche produced. The physics are still very good. It shoulf be in the cheap games rack for <$10.

Having owned and enjoyed the PC version of NFS-PU, I have to say that it's a well worth while addition to any Porsche enthusiast's game collection.

When you "fully load" your 951 in Forza, you end up with 530hp, 526ft.lbs., and a weight of 2488lbs. I wonder if they just had Special Tool tell them what numbers to use.

Here's a gallery of crappy shots I took of the screen with the 951 on it:

Yeah I got forza I think back in like march or april. I have several 944 turbos.

I spent quite a bit of time making my own cup car. You need to play around with the paint mode using all kinds of different shapes overlapping to create certain shapes angle's and letters.

anyways im most proud of my ferrari 360 challange paint theme. It looks pretty incredable.

cheers to ragging out a 500hp 944 turbo any day of the week.

For the Porsche enthusiast, there is no better car racing sim. Period. Hands down.

There's a Game Boy Advanced version of NFS-PU. Even that has a 944S2 in it!

I really wish they would put out NFS-PU on PS2. I have the other NFS PS2 games, Underground 2, Hot Pursuit 2, Most Wanted. A PU version would be nice. They have a 928 GTS, but no S, S$, or GT. And like 175 356/911 varients.

I had NFS:PU but theres something wrong with my copy. I see all the cars but you cant choose all the cars. Only about 1/5th of the cars you can actually choose. Whats up with that. It was a real downer.

UDPride: you need to compete in events and win championships in order to 'unlock' the cars that are covered under a sheet, from what I remember of the game.

I just think the game play is better on a console then the PC. I do alot better on PS2 versions then the PC. TOCA Pro-Race Driver 2 is a good example. A PS2 version of NFS-PU would be great, but they would have to add some non-356/911s. You could add the 3 other 928s, the 924, & the 968. Plus the Carrera GT is out now. Maybe they will do a NFS-PU2 for the PS2 and X-Box.
