I wish they would announce the GT2 Vette and 458 already.

by **Matt** Wed 7 Sep 2011 - 9:49

Lol, I'd imagine they're in. Without Porsche it wouldn't be much of an ALMS game otherwise Razz

by narboza22 Wed 7 Sep 2011 - 10:30

I was kind of assuming that it wouldn't be much of an ALMS game without Porsche either, but that turned out not to be the case.

If we can have the Honda HSV Super GT car, i'd be very happy indeed!

YES

Especially if it sounded the same as the real deal. Depending on how the PI's work out and if the handicaps are still there, you could have a pretty good championship with DTM and Super GT cars racing together.

by **Matt** Wed 7 Sep 2011 - 11:03

Well that was the real idea at one stage wasn't it?
Would be a VERY good addition. And I still can't believe that PD never used it for GT5. Very disappointing seeing as they champion that series so much.

This times a million. That car sounds amazing.

by Stonewall458 Sat 10 Sep 2011 - 2:09

Not sure if it counts here, but the Mazda Furai is back.

by Stonewall458 Wed 21 Sep 2011 - 22:15

by narboza22 Wed 21 Sep 2011 - 23:02

Still no new LMPs or GTEs?

by HCR generaltso Wed 21 Sep 2011 - 23:24

does not look that way

by Stonewall458 Thu 22 Sep 2011 - 0:07

I'd expect the Corvette and 458 GT2 cars to be in the game, but just not promoted this early on.

by **Biggsy tv** Thu 22 Sep 2011 - 0:12

Not sure about the 458 GT2, but yes the Corvette GT2. Maybe also the Falken Tyre Po.... oooooooooh Sad

i'm hoping we get an announcement of race DLC or something at petit. who knows...

by **LMR DarthMario** Thu 22 Sep 2011 - 0:49

maybe the big news is EA finally came to their senses? probably unlikely, but who knows..

And i really want the 458 GT2 in Fm4, as that's one reason i switched to the 430GT in the ISCC between the Euro & American Legs (go from the 430 to the 458)

by narboza22 Thu 22 Sep 2011 - 2:03

Its seems weird to me that this is the official game of the ALMS, and they already said no Porsches, and they have yet to confirm most of the rest of the grid.
