Porsche are back!!!

And a good way to make more money - 1600 MS points is quite steep in my opinion....

I agree. But they have made new models. Still, would have been nice at 1200.

30 additional cars and 7 of those new to Forza. New events, new rivals and more achievements.

1600 points does look like a fair bit when a 1500 pt card is $29.95. But you have to consider it is like 3 car packs in one...

Crimson is right, 1200 pts for 7 new cars and the rest from FM3 does sound a little better but this is M$.

+1

I understand the want to run it again, but what if some racers don't want/can't afford the new pack?

Maybe they can run the RUF's ??

Just let it roll like it does in real life. Those people who can't afford a Porsche, buy a Volkswagen.

(P.S. Volkswagen owner here...)

yeah just run the carrera cup looking ruf car (wtf is ruf anyway)

With all the DLC they have released there is always a free/sample car. With 30 cars in this pack I hope to see more than one freebie. If there is a high class or race version as the freebie Carrera Cup V2 might be ON!

RUFfle Cup? lol
Would have to be the RUF that every one has access to.

Wiki - RUF is a German automobile manufacturer. RUFs are built from unmarked Porsche bodies and chassis. When a chassis arrives, RUF builds their own independent work into the car. Because RUF installs many of their own-made parts (not to be confused with badge engineering), the company is recognized as a manufacturer by the German government. RUF is mostly known for their CTR Yellowbird, and is the biggest and most renowned company to make Porsche performance enhancements. RUF has also made a name for itself as an automobile refiner, specialist in vintage restoration and rebuilds of classic RUF and Porsche automobiles. RUF also carries out service and crash repair.

- also, this will almost definately be a no buy for me (pending models in the pack). I think the RUF in the game would do fine for a cup car, I have no desire for 30 different models of what is essentialy the same 911. I'd love to see some older different race models without the 911 body shape though.

Not for 1600 points, considering that most of the cars would have been in the game already had it not been for the licensing crap. I'd pay for the brand new cars, but not the old ones from FM3 (especially those that were DLC in FM3 too).

I like Porsche, but not for that price. Rather spend it on Mass Effect...whenever i get the dosh for it at least...

The Americans are already complaining over the price... $20 US for 1600 point car pack...

Come to Oz and pay $30 for 1500 points plus the extra 100 points...

If it was $20 here I might get the pack when it comes out. Will wait to see what we get free (if they give us a free sample).

Nup, forget it. As much as I loved the GT2, this along with the season pass turns a $90 game into a $150 game.

I just had a look at the Events List in game and there are 20 blacked out spots... They have had this pack on the back-burner since before the game came out...

I will definately be getting this. I don't care how much it costs.

Same here, if not ill be hand picking the ones i want. (73' 911)

Had wondered about this, and money making scheme, it sucks and leaves a sour taste in the pocket as well, everything is always about money these days and how they can get more of us 'the consumer'.

Although more than likely will want the porsche pack it really is a sore point, before I purchase will think about it ALOT. Really feeling a bit ripped of.

Best news since F4 came out, shoulda been included in the orig game though... poor form t10

Yeah, good to have the crew from zuffenhausen back in the game but agree 100% stikman.

They should have been in the game from day 1, no thanks to the politics being played by EA and T10 they weren't.

And it sucks 110% that we now get to pay (autobahn robbery at 1600 M$ points) for them as DLC if we want to drive them.

I'll be jumping in a RUF if I need a Porsche fix, unless they include some really special cars.
