well wtf. of course its not part of the season pass. 
I kind of refuse to believe that they didn't have this pack planned when the game released. Charging 1/3 of the price of the game is kind of a slap in the face.
I want the pack, someday, but I think i will wait until its eventually on sale....I'm not that big of a porsche fanatic.
I am really eager to hear about Forza Horizons. If it offers a PGR type level of "reality" it should be fun as hell.
Berkeleying YES!!!!!!
There better be a damn 944 in that pack. (And a 917, and a 956/962, and a 934/935, and a 914)
racerfink wrote: Lots of new stuff regarding Forza this morning. There's going to be a Porsche add-on pack soon, and there's going to be something called Forza Horizons as well. Looks like it will be a cross of Need For Speed and Project Gotham Racer. I can only hope that it means Forza 5 will be more hardcore sim, while Horizon will be for the little E36 M3's who like to run into one another.
Looking at Horizon's trailer, I suspect something like that. Open roads instead of racetracks, lots of exotics (and no real cars), a rock concert?
I'm sure the Porsche pack is going to be pricy, but I'm too much of a P fanboi not to have them. 
EA Sports had the exclusive license to Porsche cars. They allowed Turn 10 to use the cars for Forza 3, but had a change of heart for 4. Considering the amount of add on content, I have no problem paying the 1600pts. I'm almost finished with the single player races now anyways. I'm down to one race left in each of the World Tour classes, except for F class.
Considering how much it costs for me to go to a movie or sporting event, $20 is cheap entertainment.
The new level cap will be 999. After all the cars in the expansions are tallied up, players will be able to choose from 625 cars.
assuming it has the Porsches from Forza's past, here is the Porsche list from Forza 3. I assume they may offer some different liveries for some of the race cars.

You've got a point. It's getting so expensive to do much of anything these days.

Especially when you're in the market for a house and new high performance junkyard cars.
I always thought it was funny how Forza had the tie in with ALMS but had no Porsches. I will be getting that one for sure.
The announcement for the Porsches was on the ALMS facebook page about 20 mins before thr Turn 10 page.

You can thank EA for that one. They had a contract ofor exclusive use of Porsche in video games for a while there.
At first I got REALLY excited for Horizon. With the way the video starts and the name I had flashes of a proper Rally game, and maybe even Targa stuff.
Then it turned into something that looks like they are going after the Need for Speed set. Meh...
We can only hope that this means the next Forza will be a proper Sim, Like Fink said.
OK, so I stay up till 1am waiting for the friggin March car pack to be released on the Forza Marketplace, and it never did. So I go to sleep and wake up again this morning at 6am when my alarm goes off and hit it again... Still not there. It's in the XBox marketplace, but I can't do it there cuz I have the Season Pass. Anyone else having this issue? Maybe it'll be sorted when I get home from work...
In reply to BobOfTheFuture:
Two different production companies. Expect Forza 5 to be built on the regular Forza cornerstone.
Anyone got the March Car Pack yet?
On these "King of the Track" events, does anyone know where to find the laptimes that the comparison driver pulled?
Oh, and DAMN YOU SCOOBY SUSIE!!!1!!!eleven!
Dexter just turned me into a human salad-shooter.
In reply to Conquest351:I got it. Go to game add one, download the free weismann then load the game. If you have season pass, everything should show up in your "buy cars" section. The Alpha, Corvair and wagon rocks! I put two in the club garage....
The game isnt showing the March Pack for me. Dang it!
Download the free weisman in the game add on section before you start forza. The march pack should show up in the showroom

It's not showing up for me at all, no matter what I look under.

I fully understand that. Thats why I was having visions of "Dirt4" + Forza 4's engine. Maybe they could name it after McRae again... Oh well.

I ended up having to go into the xbox live menu and searching for latest updates. After sorting thru 12 Rock Band updates, I saw the Forza 4 one for March and dl'd through there.
Just a fun note- Yes, the Corvair can do Ken Block-style doughnuts. The kind where you spin like a top in one place. FTW.
