GT2 didn't have an RX-3. The only old-school rotary in the GT series is the Cosmo Sport in GT4 and GT5.

My bad... I suppose after 10+ years the car list get mixed from my old games. They did have the 20b and 13b Cosmo tho, which was pretty cool

I'm still disappointed the RX-3 SP didn't make it into the Jalopnik car pack. That would've been awesome.

Yeah, I was hoping the first gen would at least make it into Forza 4. Instead they slapped me in the face by removing the 20B swap from the first gen Miata. Maybe they'll do a classic Japanese pack and include some vintage rotary goodness.

^So true, you can't even do a renesis into the NA Miata like you could in Forza 3...

While we're on a Forza rant, whats the deal with the FD having no stock spoiler available and why is the Spirit R a Unicorn while the Mclaren F1 (which they only made like 100 of) is readily available in the game....

Here's hoping they have a Rotary pack or something like you guys said.

we use model year in the US, and the rest of the world uses build date. the best example of the difference is the 93 FD. our 1993 model year cars production run started 12/28/1991, and ends in may of 1992, so there are actually zero 1993 model year Rx7's produced in 1993. the Japanese refer to these as 92's or version I.

and yes Mazda ALWAYS releases new stuff in japan about a year before we get it. there are plenty of examples of that.
