Forza Motorsport 2: I got King Kong in the trunk ... or Web site update photo
     Xbox Live

As we all patiently wait for Microsoft to roll out the second of their top-of-the-line driving series for the Xbox 360, the Forza Motorsport 2 team tuned up and put King Kong in the trunk on the game's main Web site. But, they also released a bit of new news about the game. Take a look at some just-announced features dealing with the auction house:

• Create online auctions and sell your customized rides. Dictate the terms of your sale by setting price, length of auction, instant buyout amount & even spend cash to mark your auction as a "featured" sale!
• Gives car tuning experts and adept livery painters purpose as they can now build up in-game wealth through selling their masterpieces online.
• Hiding car setups online turns tuning into a hot commodity.
• Lock paintjobs to their respective cars
• Every vehicle comes with exhaustive car history data, including total distance and time driven, total winnings, total cost of repairs, number of races, number of owners, number of times sold, and more.
• Every vehicle sold comes with its extra (and stock) parts in the trunk.

Microsoft: Do me a favor and make this song/video the opening to Forza 2. I want it to be the official theme song. OK? 

 

For the record, I will also accept the inclusion of this instant classic. Thank you.

Wow thats pretty extensive. The last driving on tracks game that I got was Sega GT for the xbox (the one bundled with Jet Set Radio Future), this seems a little more in depth

I've got King Kong in my pants ... anyhow, I am really looking forward to the game and being able to obsess on it through the day from my computer. :)

this is going to absolutely destroy GT5. I liked Forza one better than GT4 anyway, the game is simply more fun. put that in your pipes and smoke it

Summa is really hoping for a next Midnight Club. That's ok, he's not the only one. But seriously that pop rap gotta go, I demand some J Dilla on the next MC, he should have been on the last one.

Forza is true racing really don't need any music if they do the engines sound right, besides the game is called Forza can't have some semi gangsters on there it needs some Italo Boot Mix.
