The Corvette DP is a member of the latest generation of Daytona Prototypes that attend the Rolex Sports Car Series. As such, it has obviously been developed to DP spec, with a 5.0 liter V8. Unlike the road-going models, the Corvette DP sports a mid-engine configuration, which results in a slightly rear-heavy weight bias. Despite being labeled a prototype, this car is only really on level with cars well below a typical Le Mans Prototype's performance level - mainly GT1 cars. Still, it's good fun to drive, with an ever-so-slightly oversteering setup and plenty of downforce to keep the car planted through corners.

A full GT car pack is not in the cards, but keep an eye on my GT Carpack v.2 thread. I've got a Mazda RX-8 Grand-Am GT in the works.
