What's significance of Forza Edition cars?

[High Ping Tank!]

I have seen manual tuning results in far far good or better performance than Forza Edition tuned cars... Why is so? What's the point then having Forza Edition cars?
I can't even clear any speed trap or win races with unbeatable drivatars !!

[edelweissfr]

they pretuned already in comparison with default equivalents. that doesn't mean this is the best possible tune. also their ability is extra points gain opened in skill tree

Well in theory any car with the same PP should potentially have the same performance but of course it's always possible to have a build that is not at all balanced.

It usually says on the FE car what the benefit is. Some may give you more credits or XP whilst you drive them. That does not necessarily make them better for winning races, but you get a side benefit.

Generally, though, they are higher spec than the base car.

I don't play against unbeatable drivatars and I don't know why you'd want to, especially if you are having trouble with simple speed traps.

In older games they were just pretuned variants with some minor skills bonuses. Some FE/HE had also unique engine swaps (loved 2013 Shelby engine for '69 Mustang in FH3).
You could ever revert pre-built to stock and rebuilt it yourself, keeping FE/HE bonus.

In Forza Horizon 5 there are also FE cars that are full conversions to something completely different, not possible with normal upgrades, like track traing BMW X5M, electric Mini, offroad Nissan Fairlady, or drag racing Bettle. Straight up upgrades seem to be minority this time.

Can we rebuilt FE cars in FH5 ?

This is still the case in FH5.
The offroad Fairlady has a Porsche Flat-6, for example.

(loved 2013 Shelby engine for '69 Mustang in FH3)

My personal favorite was the Aventador V12 in the Lamborghini Countach HE in FH3.
Was genuinely one of the most logical swaps possible, and yet it's gone completely nowadays.

Sadly no. And it annoys me that FE cars are exclusive to that one title with no ability to rebuild them in a later game.
Sadly means that the Fairlady Z and Tankpool Race Truck FE will be gone in FH6.

Don't care for them, tbh. The only one that kind of helped was the Mercedes-Benz offroad Tankpool truck for Arcade events that involved jumps, destruction, etc. It racks up points really quick and it handles amazing on dirt.

It's crazy strong in MP too, the only reason I don't use it is because how easy it is to accidently bump someone out of checkpoint, because how big and heavy it is.

Then there's Sesto Elemento, which is ridiculusly strong car for both racing and stunts, while being much easier to drive than actual S2 meta.
And BMW X5M, which makes my ultimate "I can't be arsed" speed trap car. Put drags on it, and you have almost 2000HP AWD still well within S2. Don't forget to adjust aero for speed.

[High Ping Tank!]

can yu share that tune code of 2000 HP !! Pls

To be fair, the Sesto FE is a handling monster by default, but lacks power IMO.
I put mine on Semi Slicks and slammed more power into it.

It's a small percentage higher than Pro, which is what I play on. Unbeatable is called that for a reason, and even though it's not impossible to win, it's way harder than what 99% of players would be able to beat. It's not like other games where hard doesn't really mean hard. FH5 has a lot of difficulty levels for a reason, so you can pick the one that's best suited to your driving skill.

As I learned the tracks, better tuned my car, and just learned to be a better driver in the FH5 universe I was able to gradually increase the difficulty. Pro is a level where I will win sometimes but not always and that's the sweet spot of challenge vs enjoyment.

And at a certain point money doesn't even matter. I have something like 100,000,000 credits and nothing much to spend them on. And I really only have 2 cars I drive 95% of the time; one for road racing and one for dirt.

It's possible he removed it as, if I recall coreectly, there is a V3 version of that tune (I'm fairly sure it's the one I use). Just search for the tuner and you should find it

Tuner name is "Don Joewon Song" by the way, there's a typo in DatWut?'s comment.
