I am in love with Forza Horizon 6's Nissan Silvia

Forza Horizon 6 has learned at least one neat trick from Ridge Racer. It's learned that for a certain kind of racing game, something that's dreamy yet exactingly arcadey by turn, it's quite nice to ghost around a corner every now and then and find something dramatic happening overhead. In Ridge…
