They could easily just create an event that lasts 1 month +.

A good idea, but I've never seen PD do that for a TT... let alone a stock TT with a brand new car. It would be awesome, but not feasible based upon PD's typical formula.

If you read the post I was replying to you would see that he was indeed having problems locating it :)

Reread it he said he proceeded to download it and it said unavailable doesnt say he didnt find it.

No he didn't say he didn't find it indeed, he said he had trouble finding it. It's not my comprehension skills at fault my friend, it's yours. Anyway, discussion of the matter is pointless with you. You add nothing to the conversation. Bye.

I had to search out the word "Corvette" to find the GT5 DLC (stupid search feature is terrible). The ergonomics of the new layout are terrible.

Yeah it's like the YouTube app. I don't even use the garbage YouTube app. I stoll use the ps3 browser. Yes you can use it still. You just have to find the like by searching for the correct link to bypass it saying "YouTube app download now"
 
Im going to do a Comparison C6 vs C7, And ill tell you end result :)
Throw in the C5 as well. See if the base C7 is as good as the C5 Z06. :D

That's what computers are for. :lol:
 
Just downloaded it and installed it. Once I finish the current seasonals, I'll be giving it a drive and see how it goes. Hearing some good things about so I'm pretty giddy about driving it.

I drove a number of Corvettes 'round Laguna Seca earlier today, and the Prototype fit right in between the C5 and C6 Z/06's. It's quite a fun car, though the suspension seems a bit softer than the more focused Z/06 models. I'd say it's the third fastest production Corvette on the game.

I'm definitely enjoying the car. I especially like the camouflaged interior.
 
I'm diggin the C7.

As said before, the suspension is pretty soft, but it handles well and is very controllable while drifting. It'll be interesting to see if we get a new "unwrapped" version C7 in January :)

Yeah i would compare all of those.

Hey I use my ps3 for everything pretty much. I have about 400GBs of music on it too. Compressed a little bit but not by much. But yeah i mainly use my phone for most of everything too. That's why. I hardly use YouTube on the ps3 but when I do I use that browser. I don't understand the YouTube app. It looks and works so good on the phone but on ps3 it is garbage.

I like the new ps3 store (look of it) but there are many things that are wrong and missing. Like the bundle of the first map/car/paint/racing gear packs is gone and I guess you can't buy SPA anymore because of this.

But when I get home tomorrow i will have to try out the new Vette for a few minutes. I do like the license plate is wish it had Michigan instead of polyphony on it though. Don't know why they had to remove it. The plate is basically this...

I wonder if they have to get approval from the state of Michigan to use it. Probably the case
 
Well, I'm having issues downloading it... I found it, by doing a search, because it seems like the "add-ons"-page doesn't update with the store.
 
Thankfully I had no problems even with this supid new PS Store.

Well, the car feels good. Nothing espectacular or really that different from the C6. A lot of oversteer, but the fun type of oversteer, which is good. But if with 450HP it shreads the rear tires the way it does, I imagine with 500+. Still, the car is fun to drive and really responsive for being the base trim model.

As for the looks, I'm so happy that the long hood is back! That's what a Corvette should look like. I'm seeing some hints of the first gen C1 grill in there too. I was kind of confused with the tail lights because it seems it lost the quad stop lights. One pair serves as stop lights and the other as reverse (and probably directionals).

As for the interior; nothing to see :( Just a C6 steering wheel and shift knob, although I know it's just a test mule. Though there are hints that a digital cluster like in the C4 will make it's return ;D

It's terrible, I know. Just search for the game and you'll get what you're looking for.

Im going to do a Comparison C6 vs C7, And ill tell you end result :)

I smell some Top Gear, Motor Trend and Best Motoring being cooked up now! :D

I'm doing some test on the 'Ring with the C7 Vette now. These are the times, both with a DS3 controller:

1st Nur Trial. 7:50.562 with TCS 2, ABS 1, SH tires and no SRF.

2nd Trial: 7:48.093 with TCS 5, ABS 1, SH tires, no SRF.

The car is freaking amazing! The "LSX" torque curve is fantastic when coming out of corners, put your foot down on exiting a corner, even on the nearest straight, you can feel the torque just push you like a strong gust of wind, especially out of corners.

TCS off or at 5, this car likes to DRIFT. But just like the GT86/FR-S/BRZ, you can control the car around the corners without doing at of counter steer and praying to the Car Gods that you don't get snap oversteer. That's how the C7 feels, but it can still go berserk if you push it too much. It happened to me quite a few times, but it's not completely scary like a Viper or Yellowbird, but still can give you the shakes :nervous:.

The suspension feels real soft on the bumpy 'Ring, if the real one has that setup, then you probably don't want a person to give you a massage anymore, because the springs just absorbs the faults of the road without any problems of throwing the car's rear axle off course, plus with leather seats, it will feel soothing to you back and you'll enjoy driving this everyday.



Anyone doing some "theories" times on the 'Ring and giving out some estimation on how the real Vette can do on the real Nurburgring? :D

@Husky: Yep when I saw that interior, it reminded me of the C4 and Mk4 Supra cockpit, pure nostalgia of the 90's! :D

I was just in a lobby where someone and me left the pits at the same time. When it fuses the two cars together lol. It slowed him down behind me...no big deal, but.. i didnt expect to see that his hood had vents like a late 90's evo. I circled around him but it was a regular looking z06. I KNOW I saw vents on that hood tho.
 
Guys, you do realise that with all the camera glitches in Photomode you could basically peel off the camo, right?

Uh, am I allowed to say that?
 
Just drove and what a blast it was. Most of what I heard was true: Car is very torquey, doesn't even fell like its just 450 the way it puts the power down. There were a few times I caught it sideways, but it was fun controlling it. Its amazingly planted too in corners, handles the corkscrew at Laguna Seca Nicely.I would put it right up there with the ZR1 in terms of sheer fun and performance around the track even while it has twice as less power.

I was kind of confused with the tail lights because it seems it lost the quad stop lights. One pair serves as stop lights and the other as reverse (and probably directionals).

I think the grille looks more like the Stingray Concept when I look at it. Has that similar chiseled jaw shape.
 
It hasn't been mentioned much at all, I'm satisfied with the engine sounds. Not being able to throw on a hyper cat-back exhaust could be a good thing, we can't corrupt the purity of its sound :P

As for the hopeful TT event brought up by CargoRat, I think ALL time trials should revert their particular car back to it's original setup and parts. Same goes for online races that are using the "no setups" feature.

If PD's smart, the camo is the body, from a modelling perspective. At least, I'd hope they'd cover their butts from accidentally showing off the entire car before Chevy wants it.

Can you eloborate and tell me how we could do this? PM me if you have to.

Edit: I have just looked at some shots of the C7, and it looks like the body is covered in that black and white striping and then covered in that black mask. So if you could peek off the black mask, you could get a good look at the actual body.

Not sure what he means. Other then the old interior glitch (which is useless since its all camo'd), I don't see how you can "Unwrap" the camo. I'm in photomode now and While I can see through the little crevices, its all low res.


This does give me the idea of doing some body anaylysis and comparing with the trailers.
 
If it doesn't show up in the download list of the game, go into your ps account, then transaction history (I think that's the name, it's the list of all your downloads) then download and install it again, that's how I got mine to work.

I glitched into the interior in photomode and there's nothing more to see, the car is not fully modeled, the canvas on the dash and center console has nothing under it, it's very easy to glitch into a car, just place the front end against a solid wall then keep walking against the rear of the car while pressing select as fast as you can to keep opening and closing the menu and after about 30 sec you will be trapped inside the car.

It doesn't show up under my download history :(
I went through the checkout process, but it didn't give me the download option. There's nothing under the download list and if I try to buy it again, it gives me an error.
Sad panda.
