When Forza 4 for Xbox was released last fall, Porsche cars were not included due to licensing issues with EA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
I bought the game anyway and played some but it has been collecting dust the past few months. Guess it's time to dust it off since it was recently announced that Porsche will return to Forza as an Expansion Pack costing $20.
The EP will include 30 Porsches - 23 from FM3 and 7 new cars. I would guess the 914/6 will be one of the included cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Will be interesting to see how the 914 runs with the new physics, etc of FM4.

Any one have FM4 and plan to buy the Porsche pack?
Any interest in getting a 914/6 spec racing league up and running again? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
If not, I can always play Skyrim (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

That's good news, I didn't buy forza 4 for that very reason! I will buy the Porsche pack when it comes out. IMO the drive physics seem much more realistic in 4 than 3, but worthless to me without Porsche. As far as a league I'd prob suck but would be interested.

Isn't this the game that Mike C's (6freak) factory -6 was photographed for a couple months ago?? Seems like he said they took around 1500+ shots from every conceivable angle for a game. . .

I'll go buy both the game and the expansion pack if we are going to start the series again.

Otherwise, I'll stick to HALO Reach. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Awesome! Count me in on getting the 914/6 spec racing back up and running! I did read that the 914/6 will be one of the cars in the pack. I would love to see them also include the 917.

My guess is that they just wanted to redo the models for FM4. I think the FM4 models can be (are?) more detailed than the FM3 models. I also wondered if they might do a 914 in the Autovista feature (which I frankly think is a useless feature, but it might be cool to see the 914 there).

I want to put flares on my wagon.

Hell yes! I heard some where this might happen but haven't found any proof! I can't wait. I will definitely be joining the racing league again.

I wasn't sure so I had to check to see if I had deleted the Teener Simracing League forum. Yay, it is still there!

Richard - an autovista 914 would be AWESOME but I think most people would be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Fourblades - I bypass the majority of the dwemer stuff - too heavy

Lots of good free metal to melt down in dwemer ruins.

Bring Cosnach from silverblood inn with you to carry it all.

Did a bunch of grinding to get blacksmith up to 100.

Will the 914/6 in FM 4 have fender flares? Not having flares is a big shortcoming of FM2.

I doubt they will have flares (though that would really be cool). On other cars, available body kits include air dams, spoilers and side skirts.

I doubt we will get flares as well, but you can always hope! EA's NFS Shift 2 had a 914/6 GT with flares. Maybe MS might include a 914/6 GT as well!?

Oddly enough, I think the 914 is a semi-popular car within the Forza franchise. It is an inexpensive starter car that handles well, so I think a number of people who may never have heard of the car used it in the game. So it has a small following.

A 914/6 GT would really be nice! I didn't realize NFS had a flared car.

With each update to Forza, the 914 has gotten better. In FM2, the handling was awful. FM3 was a major improvement. Hope the FM4 version is even better!
