The question on Twitter with Forza Horizon went all-in requiring the players to take a side in the great battle of American muscle cars, and this race quickly stirred up the flames of warp. Four legendary carcasses were painted, bursting into discussions, exposing a good number of frustrations, and there was one or two random sweet potato fry-ings somewhere in the background (that would be Uncle Johnny).

As far as top-line American muscle is concerned, it must be either Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, Corvette ZR-1, AMC Javelin AMX, or something else of a very similar caliber in terms of muscle. Very quickly, the people had made their decisions. Making those two a little more special with nostalgia, Sethix claimed the Trans Am and the ZR-1 as his all-time favorite cars, “Corvette ZR-1” kept BoredGE simple as the Corvette needed no further explanation.

The choices did not sit too well with some people. Myra ๐ŸŒป๐Ÿ‰ ranted off about these five cars being in Horizon 4 on launch and should just stay in the autoshow instead of getting locked behind passes or wheelspins. “What’s the point?” echoed from at least one other person, Fuzzy Belvedere ๐ŸŽฎ, showing all too much disdain for the voucher system. Daily can hardly keep themselves engaged; honestly, that’s the vibe.

Some technical issues have now been brought into the scene. Several players have raised Event Lab connection issues with rmac and Sameer demanding some sort of fix for the PlayStation users. The solution is not just about picking cars: it should be about playing the game with no inconvenience.

Now, remember this strange mess of opposite preferences: CapnJoker420 sides with Javelin because it’s rare in his collection while DominicShadow has likely voted with the “TOP ALL DAY”-force of a very high-stakes election. Wrench๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ”ž jabs about the “hard choice” between “GM or GM,” because, really, American muscle is a love story about General Motors.

Here’s the kicker: A few players are looking way beyond. G.I. Jerro jokingly remarks how these cars will be featured in “FORZA HORIZON VI,” well, why not? We do live in an endless cycle of Horizon sequels anyway.

So what does the takeaway become? Forza Horizon’s community is passionate, divided, and quite fry-hungry in between. Whether you came for the cars, chaos on antennae, or backstage gossip, one thing is true: Muscle cars extract pure emotion from people. And healing might be part of the charm. Now, if you excuse me a moment, I need to stare at a Corvette and wax philosophic about all my life choices.
