And when you purchase the car, you can designate one of I think 6 dealer colors. Later, in the paint booth, you can paint it any color including metallics and special colors such as chameleon (color changing). The 914 has been in the FM game since the beginning. Added in FM3 is the interior details - which are pretty accurate - even down to the red heater control knob. You can upgrade the engine, suspension, brakes, etc. as well as weight reduction. In this version you can add AWD (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) and drivetrain from 996 (I think that was it). Just for grins, I built one with ALL the most potent upgrades - turned it into an R3 race car that doesn't handle all that great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

For example some of the more modern cars might have a better base "handling" value, so when maxed out, they should have an ultimate higher handling rating. What is nice about some of the older cars (such as the 914) is that they will start out with a low weight. So you should always have a decent power to weight ratio. I think what generally happens on a maxed out 914 is that they don't let you put enough rubber under the car and downforce to deal with the amount of power you can put in the car. Then again a maxed out 1000 HP 914 might be a wicked beast regardless of the amount of tire and wing you have. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

^^^ With time spent tuning it, I am sure you could get it to where it is at least driveable. No longer remains a handling car but a bullet. Top speed without tweaking anything was over 200mph.

For some reason I don't think it was. It was somewhat prominent in FM2 as it was one of the first cars you could buy or won. It has always been a six. I do know that they reworked the graphics of the car models for FM3. So even if it was in the earlier version, they probably wanted to somewhat start from scratch and create a new (and better) model of the car. |

OMG this is like 914 crack. I have been on this non stop for 8 hours. Unlike my other racing games, on easy mode, its super simple to rack up credits. I already have my Zambezi class A car, and a Signal Orange C class car. My goal is to have a teener for each class.
How do we upgrade the rocker panels? Would like to paint the same car color. I purchase NFS for the PC years ago, but could never get it to run properly. Thank god for the Xbox360. The graphics are no joke. You might think the commercials are glossy renditions, but they are the true gameplay scenery. It is stunning! I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!! |

To change the rocker panel color, go to the paint booth and add a vinyl to cover it. Check out www.forzamotorsport.net forums - you will find a tuning marketplace as well as vinyls and designs for cars. If you need help with graphics, let me know. I haven't done much yet in FM3, but in FM2 I had some cool stuff. Here is a project 914 from FM2... (IMG:http://www.eventborders.com/web/proj914.jpg) |

A private lobby can be set up where you invite the people you want to race with so it would be pretty easy to get a bunch of 914worlders together. To race online, it requires Gold membership which is less than $50 for 12 months. edit: check out first post - now has video WITH SOUND!!! |
