YES! Finally.. I've been waiting forever to get this car. Thanks a lot.

Hi. Could someone make the One-77? I know that it's comming with TDU2, but I probably won't be able to run that (due to some performance issues). This would make an awesome replacement for the Vantage.. http://www.autoscorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/aston-martin-one-77-side-view.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Aston_Martin_One-77_front.jpg http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/one-77-rear-3-4_1e19f819-cd55-4cbe-8b10-39b44e0541ce.jpg http://www.khulsey.com/stockphotography/aston-martin-one-77.jpeg

There are some great sound mods for DB9 already, but I guess that this one is IT. I've watched the TopGear vids several times and figured this one is the closest to the real thing.

Finally something that sounds like a proper corvette. thanks.

I ment Duke Nukem's definition of "soon".

Thanks a lot for this mod. You just gave me a reason to play again.

I'd love to see this car in game. Hope to see it up soon.

Perfect. Finally the sound i was looking for.

LOL, that's pretty bad. So when i would want to buy Skoda, instead of driving an hour long trip to Mlada Boleslav and ordering it personally, I can get it from Britain and save something from 5 to 10 000 GBP (no matter the right-sided steering wheel).

Yes, it is very likely. Now that I think about it, an Octavia Combi 2nd gen. 1,8 TSI costs 715000,- CZK (39 722,- USD or 24 655,- GBP) - how much does it cost in Britain and other countries?

Yeah, I think I can see everyones point now - no matter that Skodas are overpriced, it's clear that I can't compare these two cars; it's about the same as a M1 Abrams vs. tractor.

Hmm.. I never thought about it this way, also had no idea about the fact that corvette's quality isn't something extraordinary, too. But when you buy a corvette, you buy it as a hobby, willing to put some money into it (gas, insurance, front spoiler repairs 'cause of the roads, etc.). The main argument however still lays in the fact that the "vette" cost almost as much as a European mid-class car; also it has some history and it's a pretty famous model, too. Yeah, Skoda has been around for some time, but it was never as popular - the chevy is more like an icon and the Czech automobile was focusing on building a reliable family car (not doing a very great job in that lately, too - until VW concern bought it and tweaked their models, some time later just modifying their own). Sorry, but when I'm going to buy another car, it'll be something like 2002 530i e39 (I currently drive the 530i e34 1990 with auto transmission - still smokes any current Skoda and your.. erm.. back part doesn't hurt after four hours of sitting in it).

About decent prices - lol, not really. And my arguments come from the fact that I live in the state where Skoda has its main factory (yes, thats in Czech Republic, too), I was there (Mlada Boleslav is the town called) and I asked a few guys who work here. They agreed that their cars are overpriced compared to Chevy or BMW (while concidering price vs. what you get for that money), however people keep buying - so they can keep selling for high prices. In fact, VW concern is known for artificially rising car prices in Europe. For prices comparable with Audi, BMW, Mercedes etc. you get a car of questionable quality (means it pretty much depends on your luck how good piece you get). I was in the factory two years ago, so if they haven't changed something recently, well...

Uh. If I wanted a car for daily usage, I would go for BMW 5(30i), probably E39+. Certainly not Skoda. As for GTAMADDOG, yeah, I know you Brits love Skodas and I really don't know why. Maybe they are paying more attention to the cars quality when constructing models for Britain, you can never know :D. (Seriously now, GB is commonly known here for being a great fan of these cars, on the other hand everyone else in Europe thinks of them as of cheap, low-quality cars for funny mud-driving. Octavia Scout 4WD was therefore pretty popular..)

Yeah, it was a local dealer price ("US muscle cars dovozce pro Ceskou republiku" or whatever). Anyway, I really don't like the idea of VW creating a car and making Skoda to take it and sell it as their own. I still remember when I first saw the add for Superb 2nd gen. "Wow, a new Passat - let's have a closer look", and a second later I saw a "No passat anymore - pure Skoda" text under it. kalniel - Corvette insurance would cost around 15k (CZK, divide it by 18 and you have USD) a year, Superb with its little engine 7.5k. I don't have a dog so this solves another question, and for your family you can have another car; for example BMW 118d (or, for fans, Skoda Fabia HTP, where HTP means three piston high-torque engine with a piece of metal instead of the fourth one). You can get the money for it by cutting off some of the corvette's additional equipment..

●Koenigsegg● - We've been using Octavia for a really long time - try saying that after four years of driving it. First, the electronics are out, second is the engine (new one is almost as expansive as a new car). And overall quality (from materials to body quality) really sucks. On the other hand, large engines like the 6litre V8 lasts for ages, unlike the 2litre Skodas. And by the way, Superb IS a modified VW (they changed the sign and nobody noticed, wow).

Hi. I was going through some sites and got excited how much do US cars cost compared to European ones. The results are pretty ridiculous - Skoda Superb L & K 2008 2.8l V6 - 1 029 900 Czk (57 216 USD) Chevrolet Corvette 2008 6.2l V8 - 1 091 596 Czk (60 644 USD) LOL. Personally I think I'm gonna pick the Corvette. Prices are based on the fact that the listed Skoda model is their top one, so I picked a car with similar additional equipment. Superb is politely said a not-very-high-quality car from the Czech Republic and for some dumb reason the Brits love it (no offense). The fact that something like the famous Corvette is as cheap (or expansive, depends on your point of view and current financial situation :P) as a mid-european crappy family car is imho hilarious. Best example would be the engine sound (although I think everyone knows the sound of a V8 ~500HP). - superb (no matter it is the previous generation, the engine is the same.) - corvette Regards from Czech Republic :), wingman

Ehm.. In the last month, it's The Bravery, A. Dvorak, Explosions in the sky, Skillet, Blur, Massive Attack, The Prodigy, Paramore. And recently I found Flyleaf on youtube - dunno exactly what genre it is, but sounds great.

i know it's infantile, but i couldn't help it.

-- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- R8 Race - it s pretty much hidden behind the truck, unfortunately.

Erm.. when I try to download it (v2.0), it redirects me to "http://www.funny-games.biz/". Any suggestions? [edit]Just found out Czech IPs are blocked (dunno why??), could anyone reupload the file for me, perhaps on rapidshare? Thanks.[/edit]

Beautiful, finally a nice Murciélago mod! Tanks a lot, especially for the gauges.

Uncle Google told me.. He knows a lot of things :)

So, here I am - after years of searching for a game that would offer a huge world to ride on and after many let-downs by NFS series, I found TDU. I didn't even know something like that is possible to create, I was really suprised :).. All the best cars included, beginning with Alfa 8c and ending with Corvette Stingray, plus 1600km of track - that's just perfect, apart from the fact that I really hate MMO's, so I'm sticking to play in offline mod; I wasn't planning to race, anyway (until the game forced me, I really wanted the 8c :). So, long live this forum.

Hi. Hopefully, I'm posting this to the right place. I was wondering that the Alfa C8 sound is really unrealistic ( ). Because nobody has made a sound mod sofar, I will stick to changing it in game. So, here's the question: which car in TDU sound is most close to the real C8? Right now, I'm using the Aston V8 sound; I love it, but it's not just it. P.S.: Same thing with the interior. In-game one is hidious, but I can't remember any other without manufacturer's symbol on the steering wheel.. Now it hit me - is it possible at all, to switch interiors just by backing-up and renaming a few files? Thanks for tips. (Sorry for eventual grammar errors - I'm not English ;))
