The Glaring Inaccuracies of the 1970 SS Chevrolet Chevelle Model in Forza
As a classic muscle car enthusiast, the digital representation of the 1970 Ss Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 in the Forza series is profoundly disappointing, much like the 1969 Camaro SS model.
Outdated and Deformed Digital Model
The current model, in use since the original Forza Motorsport in 2005, suffers from an inaccurate, ugly, and deformed shape and outdated dimensions that simply do not hold up anymore.

Front and Side View Issues
Starting at the front, the steel guard curvature, bumper height and width are incorrect, as are the headlight sizes. The front looks too skinny compared to a bulky rear. What clearly highlights this model’s inaccuracy are particularly the front and rear fenders and quarter panels.

The whole front end shape and the rear end starting from the quarter panels is just terrible. It looks like somebody tried to mold the car’s body by stepping on it and stretching it. In real life, this is a stunning car with immense road presence, unlike its inaccurate digital counterpart. The length and shape of the front fenders are far from accurate. The rear quarter panels and fenders are particularly noticeable due to an unusually droopy, age-revealing shape. Side windows also have incorrect length, shape, and height. For comparison, see the 1965 chevelle ss z16.

Rear End Inaccuracies
When observing the rear end, the curvature, width and height of the steel bumpers are inaccurate. The taillights are erroneous, and the rear window/deck has an exaggerated slope that contributes significantly to the droopy silhouette. Compare these details to the chevrolet chevelle ss 396 model.

Missing SS Badges
Furthermore, like the problematic 1969 Camaro model, the signature “SS” Super Sport badges are noticeably absent from the vehicle model. Explore other models like the 1971 chevrolet chevelle ss 454 or the chevrolet chevelle ss 72. Even newer models like the 1975 chevrolet chevelle malibu might have different digital representations worth noting.

Conclusion
Given these numerous inaccuracies across its shape, dimensions, and details, the current 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS model in Forza is significantly outdated and unfaithful to the real car. A complete remodel, based on a proper rescan, is highly needed to accurately represent this iconic muscle car in the game.
