Yeah, heard that during the Mid-Ohio race broadcast. Looking forward to sitting in those new cockpits. Watching the videos previewing Forza 4 already has me feeling like Forza 3 is vastly inferior. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Question now is, will the Flying Lizard be there? Still no confirmation of Porsche being in the Forza 4. A GT2 Corvette and the GT2 458 will make the future ALMS series on Forza 4 great.

Yet another reason to hate EA... no Porsche for FM4. So sad. RUFs will still be available, so there will be tuned Porsches, though.
35 cars will have to be replaced with "something else".

WOW, I honestly didn't think it would go there with EA.  I understand their position. They have a competitior, and have a "card" to play to get people on their game.  BUT at the same time, the people that would buy that game would also be playing Forza . . and well, PISSING US OFF is not a good way to get us to buy their game.

If they were inteliigent, they would have made an offer to Turn 10 . .and lobbied to T10 to "owe them one" . . . they will eventually need something from Turn10, and will be laughed at.

Kinda sad I won't be enjoying a 911 in Forza4 :/  . and RICKY, I'm sorry your Custom Flying Lizard paint is now pointless.

Well that's the first official news I've heard of this. I've been holding on to hope that they were just teasing us with a delayed announcement of Porsche's inclusion. That sucks. Hopefully the RUFs will be comparable to the originals. Not sure how I feel about an ALMS series in Forza 4 without the Flying Lizard or Falken cars, or any of the GTC cars for that matter. Reading that NFS: Shift is considered a sim-racing title made me laugh a little bit though. Far far far from being a sim.
