Default Falcons in Forza 2?

I am considering purchasing Forza 2 and was wondering if there is any Australian cars in it?

I looked at the official cars list and it didn't have any which seems stupid considering Gran Turismo has the Typhoon etc.

Maybe the collectors edition??

It's fun playing around with the Mustangs and dropping a 427 in the Monaro in Forza 1 but some Australian cars would be cool.

I think the closest thing to a Aussie car, is the Vauxhall VXR/Pontiac GTO.

I want to see more Aussie cars in racing games so bad.

I hate playing a racing game, with 54345543 variations of the Skyline, and what not.

lol too true ryan, yeh ive got it, its a great game none the less mate, the vauxhall Monaro and the pontiaco GTO are the closest thing to an aussie car. Still, there are alot of great Yank Tanks though.

What are the differences over Forza1?

There is a good choice of cars but there should be more like the Plymouth Roadrunner.

'Ford Street Racing - XR Edition' is now out on PC, and PS2. It features several Aussie Falcons, including both sedans and Utes. Also, as far as I know 'Ford Racing 3' features a BA GT/GT-P.

Ford racing 3 is on the PS2, and XBOX, but not the 360.

Oh, and Ford racing 3 has a XB GT coupe, and BA XR8. For those who didn't know.

I read that Gran Turismo 5 has been confirmed by Polyphony Digital for a 2008 release. Thats about as specific as it gets at the moment.

Put the PS3 and a big telly on your christmas list so you've got them in time for the release... Grand Theft Auto IV is due to be released in Oct this year so that will keep you occupied until GT finally gets here.
