In the entire world of Forza Horizon, a spicy little tweet with a modified 2003 Porsche Carrera GT build was posted, and, well… gamers had thoughts on the matter. The post’s major focal point was to claim it was done to give that V10 truck engine an RH regardability; however, the actual build saw a V12 swap, AWD conversion, and until you drop your mouse… rally tires. Yes, rally tires on a Carrera GT. The internet went wild.
Now, about that engine swap: well, let’s get it out in front. The first tweet really had said “give that V10 an extra punch,” but the build sheet really showed an outright swap; players were quick to point out the irony: “@NotRafaelDevers sarcastically said ‘To give what V10 an extra punch? Y’all literally V12 swapped it.'” Another player “@b0xfort” simply typed “lol. lmao, even.” Were you confused? That only generated more meme fuel.
But rally tires? That was when things went really weird. So many replies zeroed in on the strange choice, with @tachyonstryker outright demanding, “WHY USE RALLY TIRES!?” @Lee_C1996 echoed the sentiment of bewilderment with, “Rally tyres? On a carrera?” Like, who wakes up and thinks, “You know what this hypercar needs? Some chunky off-road rubber.” It’s like putting snow tires on a speedboat. Just… why?
Not everyone thought this was funny. Some played the accountability-for-a-change card for Forza Horizon mechanics. @JustinSlomski lamented, “EVERY SINGLE car drives the exact same,” while @GtHusky begged the devs to change the sound of the Carrera GT’s engine since the previous games had it better. @FordGTGuy flat-out rejected this build with his GIF of messy head shaking. Pure chaos.
And then you had the group begging for their clean looking cars back. @1NickCali wanted the BMW 850CSI and Lotus Esprit V8 back, while @robinmack850 cried out for the return of Mazda Furai…Just another classic call from the Forza crowd for their next dream ride.
Of course, no Twitter thread is complete without a side tangent that drives one toward controversy. @BHarrison2704 and @1NickCali engaged in a bit of a dust-up about backstage vote cars, with Ben lobbying for the Lotus Esprit Turbo and Nick concurring (quite secretly, at least partially, since he still favors the Porsche 911 GuntherWerks). This is the sort of esoteric car-nerd chatter that just makes the Forza fandom all the more… special.
So, what’s the verdict? Forza Horizon players are passionate, detail-freaking, and willing to roast the devs whenever something feels amiss. Whether it’s a downright questionable build, a missing car, or the long, frustrating battle for better engine sounds, the community is always has something to say. And actually? It’s fun because of that. So if you can excuse us, we’ll be off trying to put rally tires on a Bugatti Chiron—just to see what happens.
