Adding the s12 in to the Forza Motorsport franchise...

I sent an email to turn10, as a couple years ago, a local toyota celica-supra was used for the model in Forza Motorsport 3, so I'm hoping the same can be done for the s12!  Here is the email I sent them, and hopefully nothing but good news comes from it!

Turn10,

   I'm writing this email in hopes that I can get an up and coming tuner car added into one of my favorite games!  I have a 1987 Nissan 200SX SE (S12 model code) which has the same v6 engine as the mid-late 80s 300ZX.  They only made 10,000 of these over two years.  They pulled it when they realized that it out performed their flagship sports car, the 300ZX.  The car is in pristine condition with 120,000 miles on it so it would be perfect to use as a template.  I have the factory wheels for it and the only modification I have made is to the exhaust.  I have noticed that these cars are picking up popularity, and I'm sure many people would love its addition to the video game franchise.  These cars are about on the same level as an AE86 Toyota Corolla, MA61 Toyota Supra, and the S13 Nissan 240SX in terms of popularity among import tuners.  I used to own several of the early 80s Toyota Supra's and was ecstatic when I found out that Turn10 was getting together with a fellow Supra owner to model the car and so I'm writing this email in hopes that you would do the same with my own car.

The S12 200sx was also optioned with a 2.0L inline 4, and a 1.8L turbo inline 4 engine.  The turbo engine was only available in the earlier years and was replaced by the 3.0L V6.  If you would like any additional information, you can email me at [email address] or reach me directly at [phone number].  I really do hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks for taking your time and reading my email,

Yeah I don't see the s12 even coming close to rivaling the level of popularity the s13 and ae86 enjoy. But I guess it sounds good for the sales pitch haha.

Why do you want to add it?

Cause you know this will make it even harder to find an S12, and it's already a chore now!  Quit messing with the S12s sleeper status already and mind your own business!

lul. that^

although i think its great getting the car known to more people, i still love the fact that no one even knows what the hell theyre looking at. i love standing out in seas of S13s and hachis :3

but i really dont think its enough to really draw all the fanbois to the S12.. its lack of aftermarket and stock performance(mostly CA18ET/20E) is DEFINATELY a deal breaker.

I am actually going to be talking to a guy who works at Turn 10 tomorrow.  He is aware of what I'm looking to do so hopefully something will change in the near future.

That would be cool!

the s12 would be one of the abandoned cars you have to walk around without setting the alarm off...wait, an s12 with an alarm? That seems un realistic...haha.

MaxpowJun 12, 2011, 3:19 pm · #14

My s12 has a stock, working; alarm system.

noob.

They didn't come with shock sensors though.  But now this is getting a bit off topic... =/

i guess the party could steal a s12 like how they jacked the stock car in left 4 dead 2...but i doubt a s12 would be sitting in the center of a mall....maybe the center of a mall parking lot...hah.

Sending them an email isnt ganna do anything, think about how many emails a day they get from people asking for cars.
