Enjoy!
> If you had any doubts that GM is attempting to make future buyers of its all-new Corvette Stingray feel younger in one by adapting the car’s styling as well as its own marketing efforts to reach the PlayStation and Nissan GT-R generation of youths, look no further than to its connection with the Gran Turismo 5 (GT5) racing game.
> After offering GT5 users the chance to drive a camouflaged prototype of the new Corvette C7, a challenge that more than 500,000 people accepted since last November, Chevrolet and Polyphony Digital Inc., the developers of the racing game franchise, are now making the production model available for download.
> The new Corvette Stingray will be available as a free download through the PlayStation Store on PS3 on Tuesday, January 15.
> “Getting behind the wheel of the all-new Corvette Stingray – the most powerful and sophisticated standard Corvette ever – is sure to be a thrilling experience,” said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet Marketing. “Through this unique collaboration with Gran Turismo, Chevrolet is able, for the first time, to give performance car enthusiasts access to such an exclusive driving experience the day after the Corvette Stingray’s world debut.”
> GM adds that during the creation of the virtual Corvette Stingray, “careful attention was paid to the tiniest details of the new design inside and out, as well as to the enhanced performance driving characteristics – down to the shift schedule for the seven-speed manual transmission with Active Rev Matching.”

The masked prototype hammered pretty good round the Nurburgring with super soft tires.

I managed a mid 7 minute time around the Nurburgring in the prototype with super soft tires.

So apparently a couple guys learned how to hack cars on GT5.
I was fucking around tonight killing time before work and I was blasting down the long straight in the Sarthe track in my Bently race car at 242mph when I noticed on the map a dot coming up on my ass at a good pace. I thought it would be some 10 year old in a Red Bull X1. It wasnt. I got passed by a Civic hatchback that was rolling the tires at 275mph+ like I was standing still. 3150+ HP and it tops out around 325mph. Apparently there’s a 100,000HP Red Bull floating around that does over 700mph.

There should be more engine upgrade options or bigger turbo set ups when you feel the urge to build a UGR Gallardo but a 3000HP Civic that burns the tires at 250mph is some Need4Speed shit lol. It’s hilarious to watch.

It only took 5 years for GT5 to be released. Probably will come out in 2019.
