My entry for the RVW birthday contest, now uploaded as a standalone file and with an added PSD paintkit, in case any repainter would fancy it. No other changes were made.
Just a pint-sized American barge carrying Mexico's own flag colours and emblems. Quite softly sprung, RWD and not overly powerful - all in all, an easy and forgiving Rookie class vehicle.
Taillights by Flo, turn signals and headlights from Paperman's decal sheets. Base rim by LivingWithGames, edited by me.
Some useless facts about the car...
- This very model was about to turn one year old before I decided to repurpose it for the contest, I modelled it just for fun without much thought being put into it. It originally featured spare wheel holders on the trunk and sides, but I ultimately decided against that while I was polishing the model for the contest.
- Mexico was the country of choice both because of Forza Horizon 5 and the actual local lowrider car culture. Not to mention Tubers's track...
- The car was originally going to be named "El Barrio", Spanish for "The 'Hood", but mere days before the contest ended TTDriver suggested the current name. Thanks man!
Huh, I’ve never written such great reviews in my life!
This is a very unusual car, with hellish controls on the ice!
I want to say that I like the look of the car, the real Mexican atmosphere, I also like the colors! But to be honest, on the roof of the car, for some reason I see the Bulgarian flag! I also like the model of the car, a flat, wide, long car! So you can admire this car forever!
Parameters, I want to say that it is very fast for its class, which even Rc San and Mouse can envy, but this machine needs real skill, why? It is very difficult to control, she rides like a woman on the road! And when you drive at all on tracks where there is mostly ice, refrigerator, frost, then this car generally skids, although it has very good acceleration, but it will be difficult for a beginner to drive such a car, it will be a living hell for beginners!
Conclusion: In fact, this car has a good, beautiful, sexy paint job! I like the shape of the car very much! Especially the yellow headlights! It also has good speed and acceleration, but v-v-v-v-v-v-very difficult controls! You know, there are such words when God kisses on the forehead, and then slaps on the ass! It’s like the same thing Burner94 made a cool car externally, but made it difficult to control in the parameters!
Is it that forgiving though? Upon some driving, it isn’t that forgiving, it is somewhat misleading, matter of fact.
First impressions though, as far paintjob/livery and car model goes, from an aesthetic point of view – aces. Absolute aces, I…LOVE how this thing looks, it looks so goddamn good. That alone is an easy 5 out of 5 winner. Control wise…see, it needs a bit of skill.
Yes, it is a RWD car but unlike most majority of them, you ned some sort of skill of using it – at low speeds, you can bet your ass you will spin out and lose control if you abuse it, you need to master it’s handling first. At max whack of speed – it handles…pretty fine, but it turns super wide. Considering it is based on an old looking car – I’ll let it slide – this is absolute hell for technical tracks, unless you know what you are doing – maybe practice makes perfect and you’ll eventually start enjoying this car more. It’s not a crappy car, not at all. You just need to know what you are doing.
