Default Forza 4 - Porsche expansion pack.

http://press.porsche.com/news/release.php?id=710

I might get to drive a 3.8 RS at Sebring sooner than expected. Well, virtually anyways.

Worth getting an Xbox for this? My PS3 is covered in dust.

forza 3 included porsche cars in the game.
forza 4 ditched porsche cars, but added a couple from ruf.
backlash must have followed, so this is good news, although just checked the link and your 3.8rs is not on the list, so i guess you gotta go ship your car down to sebring to 'play tha game' haha.

lol - wishful thinking got the best of me. I saw 997 GT3 RS and didn't bother to look at the production year assuming 2010/2011. No 7.2 GT3 or RS or 4.0.

aussie jimmy - my 3.8 RS (ex-TRAKCAR's) is already down at Orbit waiting for me.

jenk12m - is Forza 4 worth playing? I have GT5 on PS3 that is Porsche-less.

yeah the 4.0 would have been awesome. but that's what game producers do - they hold some aces for the next update so you have to buy that as well.

You can get the expansion pack, then upgrade the 3.6 GT3 and make it as powerful as a 3.8 GT3, then play it. It will still be slower than a Scuderia.

Forza 4 is ok, GT5 is vastly better, especially the 430 Scuderia simulation, like driving the real thing.

GT5= Simulation
Forza 4= Game

Its that simple.All you need to do is play a a few laps in Nurnburgring on both. Also physics are better in GT5
