I can probably think of a few contenders,

LINK (http://jalopnik.com/5509286/which-10-awesomely-horrible-cars-do-you-want-in-your-next-forzalopnik-pack)

From the post:

1. You think of ten really terrible, yet knock-you-on-yer-tuchus-great motor vehicles that you'd like to race in Forza Motorsport 3.
2. You list those vehicles in a comment on this post.
3. You get ridiculed by the other commenters and get embroiled in a pointless flame war with them. This causes such headaches that I ban everyone in sight.
4. Turn 10 Studios completely ignores this stupid idea.
5. I read your lists and add a bunch of new vehicles to my "gotta own one of these someday" list.
6. PROFIT!!!!

Well, Ted challenged me to create Ol' Smokey in Forza. There's nothing of that vintage Legacy in the game, so I used a '08 STi (wagon shape) which can switch to the S207 motor, and then go naturally aspirated.

Unfortunately, it still has 207bhp, so I need the race organizer to put me in a run group that gets 40% hp penalty. We toyed with me just hitting the car in front of me in the first turn to cause engine damage, but I didn't think I'd be able to actually stay with the pack that long.

-Bought the coilovers and jacked them up to max, set the spring rates and dampening to what I believe is real life values.

-Bought the race sway bars so I could thin them out compared to the STi chassi

-Bought the race brakes to drop the braking force to 35%. 100mph to 0mph braking distance: 500+ feet.

-Bought the race transmission and put in the same gear ratios as Smokey's. Unfortunately, I have an 8000 rpm rev limit which is NOWHERE near accurate. I haven't found a work around for that, or how to compensate for the fast shifts vs. Smokey's slushbox.

And finally... I bought some big chrome rims to match my bling bling hub caps.



So that's my suggestion to you... make the best and worst cars you've ever owned and make it a POS track day!

OK - now I know I'm not the only one that has tried to recreate POS cars in this game.

I tried to recreate my first car, a Golf MrkIV, CL. 8 valves of fury. Had to use the old rabbit and move down from there. :-)
