    Just bought the pack, made a Ferrari 458 Italia with 858hp, and 579 lb-ft torque... this car is mental! My new favorite car in Forza.

    @siva80: I do, but it's not totally insane without it. Car is surprisingly easy to drive. Granted if you do go over that edge a little bit it'll bite back.

    @egoods: That's the hardest part of driving the R1 cars, I find. The line between "you aren't giving it enough gas in this corner and all your opponents are now passing you" and "too much gas, your car is now spinning at 250 rpm" is too fine for my fat fingers. I still refuse to use traction control though.

    That 333 HP S4 is really taking down the average HP.

    Must... not... lookuponhideousform!

    I have no idea what they're doing here... I can't imagine they'd actually market this pig in any manner even remotely close to the way it looks right now.

    IOW, this could be the Best. Mule. Ever.

    It's one thing to camo the SLR as a Cerbera or the SLS as the Viper, but I didn't think they'd go far as to graft the Dodge Nitro face on a prototype.

    I love the very subtle Jalopnik decal on the side of the car. It is a promise from Mercedes to make this car light, pure, simple, and fun. Also, I much prefer this decal to the "Copyright Chris Doane/Brenda Priddy & Company" seen on some cars, and those weird floating KGP Photography chin spoilers.

    Range Rovers once again living up to their legendary reliability. That car can't be older than 7 years or so.

    I would prefer that circa '79 Mazda 929 lurking behind the burnt out Bentley. With the Bentley engine in it... Consequently, I find myself wondering how many engine swaps began with spotting a fortuitous pairing such as this in a junkyard somewhere?

    Some of these are in decent shape. Is this what happens in Qatar when your ashtray is full?

    Thanks for posting, Rashid. You are my new Qatar Hero.

    That app looks pretty awesome. I do wish I could use it on my E 350.

    But I do see some problems. How is the app going to find which car is yours? Download the app when you plugin your phone to the car and have a access long code that changes every X minutes? Or a screen name and password for your car?

    I could see someone trying to find a way to steal cars with this. Install it on their phone and try to unlock other Mercedes-Benz cars and steal whats inside, or the car itself.

    This application is completely frivolous. NOBODY with a Mercedes ever parks more than 5 feet from a door. Or they just ring up Jeeves to bring the car around.

    Hey! Mercedes was a stripper in my local strip club. I might have had my "hands on" experience with her, when I just turned 18. Allegedly.
