<div align="left">It's been a long time since we've discussed them, but we've always had a thing for the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/06/20/yippy-more-of-your-custom-forza-2-cars/">custom cars</a> found in <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/forza-2"><em>Forza Motorsport 2</em></a>. Today, the official Turn 10 Studios blog posted some images of the Major Nelson Signature Edition Saleen Mustang. As you can see, it's got Major's Avatar mug plastered all over it, and the post notes that it was tuned by the <em>Forza</em> community group NBT.<br /><br />But how do <em>you</em> get one, you ask. That's easy, just head over to <a href="http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/blogs/turn_10s_forza_motorsport_blog/archive/2009/04/23/car-giveaway-comment-on-the-major-nelson-signature-edition-saleen-mustang-here.aspx?cp=1">Turn 10's blog post</a>, log in with the Live ID linked to your Gamertag and leave a comment.

Only a few people can claim to be experts at any game. In the world of <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Forza-Motorsport-2/">Forza Motorsport 2</a></em>, Project Blackjack <em>are</em> experts. One year in the making, <a href="http://projectblkj.com/">The Rising Storm</a> showcases some of the most incredible precision drifting we've ever seen in any game. The team of twelve gamers from around the world compiled the nearly 10 minute montage in hopes to showcase what they call, "The Art of Drifting." We think of it as, "The Art of Insane Crap We'll Never Come Close To Doing."<br /><br />[Thanks, JHD]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/04/forza-motorsport-2-experts-drift-into-gear/">Forza Motorsport 2 experts drift into gear</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 04 Dec 2008 18:30:00 EST.

And since we know how much <em>Forza 2</em> fanboys love their vehicles, we've added new car pack photos into their own <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/forza-2-march-car-pack/">gallery</a> below for you to gush over. Thank us later. If you have an extra 400 points laying around, we advise supporting Turn 10 and all the hard work they've put into<em> Forza 2</em> and its abundant DLC.

Masculine rides including Ferraris, Maseratis and even the 360 themed Peugeot 207 Super 2000. Complete car list after the break. Also, to give the <em>Forza 2</em> community a boost and to celebrate the March Car Pack's launch, Turn 10 will be participating in Xbox.com's <a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/calendar/gamewithdevelopers/">Game with Developers</a> program and a special Play &amp; Win will be launched as well. More event details are to come, but for now all you really need to know is that new DLC is this Wednesday ... vroom on.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/17/forza-2-march-car-pack-details-and-events/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Forza 2 March Car Pack details and events</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/17/forza-2-march-car-pack-details-and-events/">Forza 2 March Car Pack details and events</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 17 Mar 2008 14:30:00 EST.

And, lucky for us, March will be one of those grand <em>Forza 2</em> DLC months with the announcement of the upcoming March Car Pack.<br /><br />Odd thing about this new March Car Pack is that we have yet to hear the announcement come from Turn 10 or Microsoft's mouths, as we learned of its existence from an <a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/player/31927.html">exclusive DLC trailer</a> (embedded above) that was released last night. So that means we don't have too many details pertaining to its cost or what's exactly included in the pack, though fans in the <a href="http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/permalink/1381569/1381607/ShowThread.aspx#1381607"><em>Forza 2</em> forums</a> pretty much nailed down which new vehicles the DLC will offer. What we do know is that the <em>Forza 2</em> March Car Pack will come packed with brand new rides and be released next Wednesday, March 19th. So hold tight, plant your feet firmly on the ground and hope that Turn 10 is generous in their pricing (ahem, free?)<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/15/forza-2-march-car-pack-dlc-releases-next-wed/">Forza 2 March Car Pack DLC releases next Wed</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 15 Mar 2008 10:30:00 EST.

They're keeping quiet about specifics, but we do know that the new DLC will feature eleven new cars and one race track that's a remake of an old <em>Forza</em> favorite (and it's not Fujimi Kaido). All in all, you'll be able to grab the new cars for 400 Microsoft points, the track at 100 points or both for 500 points (addition FTW!) Turn 10 promises more DLC details sometime midweek ... so start waiting.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/03/forza-2-dlc-brings-new-track-and-cars-on-friday/">Forza 2 DLC brings new track and cars on Friday</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 03 Dec 2007 11:30:00 EST.

The new track includes four separate racing routes (including three off road and one highway) and is available to all Xbox Live regions. If you have <em>Forza 2</em> and were contemplating purchasing the new track, then we think you should back Turn 10 and not feel guilty about shelling out 400 points. They are what we call "good peeps".<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/10/26/download-forza-2s-motegi-track-pack/">Download Forza 2's Motegi Track Pack</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 26 Oct 2007 13:00:00 EST.

Posting on the official <a href="http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/thread/1066211.aspx"><em>Forza 2</em> forums</a>, community manager chespace mentioned the price change and says that he was able to convince the marketing folks to drop the price to 400 points due to the <em>Forza 2</em> community's feedback. Can you believe it? A developer actually listening to their community and lowering content price before it gets released. Mad props to you Turn 10 and now we can't help but recommend tomorrow's new 400 Microsoft point DLC.

We believe that the new track will be free, but not much is known about it as no name or screenshots have release. But Turn 10 did hint that today one lucky website will be exclusively revealing all the track's details. So, we'll keep one eye on the web, one eye on the Marketplace and a third borrowed eye on the road, because we have new DLC coming to <em>Forza 2</em>.<br /><br />[Thanks, <a href="http://www.orangelazarus.com">Tony</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/10/23/new-forza-2-racing-turf-releasing-this-friday/">New Forza 2 racing turf releasing this Friday [update]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 23 Oct 2007 15:30:00 EST.

After tooling around for months with the same ol' boring cars, Microsoft has <a href="http://gamertagradio.com/vbportal/forums/showthread.php?t=5384">announced</a> new downloadable content for <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/forza2"><em>Forza Motorsport 2</em></a>. Technically, there are two bits of DLC, including one free car and an additional pack of ten cars for 400 MS Points. The free car is the 2007 SEAT Leon Cupra. The pay content includes cars from all over the spectrum, including American muscle, European sports, and Japanese tuners.

After several days of internet murmurings and a noticeable lack of response from Microsoft, a delay in <em>Forza 2</em>'s holiday release has manifested in that cruel place often referred to as "reality." Posting on the official <em>Forza Motorsport</em> forums, community manager Che Chou (username "chespace") <a href="http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/permalink/17424/17441/ShowThread.aspx#17441">revealed</a> that the speedy sim sequel would overtake the 2006 holiday period and that the team would not "announce a new date until X06. Gotta do what you gotta do to get things right, y'know?"<br />
<br />
Oh, we know. Given the game's relatively brief development time (the first <em>Forza</em> hit the Xbox last year), lofty goals and glut of prerendered promotional trailers, the news will likely disappoint more than it surprises. The few weeks leading up to Microsoft's X06 event are sure to be filled with speculation regarding the new release date -- we hear March 2007 is pretty <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/09/07/europes-ps3-delay-in-quotes/">popular</a> these days. In the meantime, Microsoft expects you to gaze upon the latest screenshots, one of which features a rather exciting wall. <br />
