Forza Motorsport 4: April Alpinestars Car Pack

The next Forza Motorsport 4 car pack will include a 1985 GSL-SE


1985 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE – Innovation and affordability combine with this mid-80s rotary masterpiece from Mazda. The GSL-SE introduced the legendary 13B engine, the largest, most powerful RX-7 engine ever developed at the time. Combine that with a light frame and perfect weight distribution and you’ve got a serious performer on your hands.

Fricken sick! I'm playing Forza 3 right now. I got an FC and put the 20B in it with everything available. I couldn't even drive it, speed was like 9.1 and everything else was around the 6 mark. Wouldn't even drive straight. I need to get Forza 4 and get an FB

Sweet revenge for the first gen. Here's why:

All of the other models of RX-7s (except for the RX-8 R3) were modeled for FM1 and have only been updated in a minor way since. So this GSL-SE is modeled soooo much better than the FC and FD.

^It shows too, the Rx8-R3 is such a better model in the game than the FC/FD/rx8. Much more detail....

i have been patiently waiting to pick up forza 4, just so limited on funds right now with the new engine build. im hoping for a "NON TURBO a turbo car function" so i can have my na 13b bridgeport rx7 in the game muahahahahahaha! also allow us to build some other sweet *** NA cars, i guess i never got into the boost thing, i prefer mechanical tuning. im glad they used the LHD gsl-se so at least i can build an na 13b in that. not the same still but as close as it gets. i can't wait to pick this up!

^Many of the cars in the game allow you to add forced induction so hopefully it will on this. Most also have engine swaps available, so we should be able to add a 13B-REW to it too (since that's what you can swap into the Miata's in the game)

what i meant was, i wan't a non turbo bridgeport fc with itb's in the game but only have a turbo fc and can't non turbo the turbo fc like you can with the 20b swap. i wished you could na the 13b just like you can the 20b and some other forced inducted cars also (like an na skyline bored over to a 3.1 would be boss or even non turbo sw20 mr2 for example)

Ah yeah, that would be pretty sweet. I think honestly though there's so many different possibilities that they game designers would never be able to include them all...

Jealous of your setup^ Its getting harder and harder everyday for me to not buy the game. Money is just too tight while I'm still in school for me to justify spending 60 bucks on a game plus another 30 for the DLC pack. Luckily only a month and a half till graduation, then its on FM4 world! Though I think I'm gonna make racing seat similar to ^^^ for FM3 out of my old FD seat.

Looks like great windows wallpaper material.

They made it quite a bit louder than stock, but I'm certainly not complaining lol.

I'm stuck at work. Tried to download early this morning but it wasn't available yet. What engine swaps can you do to it? Can you go turbo? Do they have any old school body kits available? Please answer before I die of suspense.
