I have 12 laps on this course and lots of time on GT4, as of right now I know the whole course like the back of my hand.

The ring is my all time favorite! I run it daily.......that would be on my PS3! I love that track on GT4, i ran a 5:29 in my 1989 Saber Mercedes closed prototype. ***** to the wall speed and handeling!

My goal is 5 minutes flat!

Jay Leno does have a Porsche Carerra GT, too!!

Sweet! New GT-R pics! Lucky bastard! Why would they bring out their super secert prototype when a huge track day was going on?? Kinda odd thaty Nissan would do that.

I didn't even know Pontiac sold cars in Germany, I just assumed that people would regect them! Is it uncommon to see many Pontiac's or Chevy's there?

Sweet pics!!

It was probably brought over by a soldier stationed there. I have heard that Germans will pay top dollar for soldiers brought over American muscle cars.

The New GT-R wasn't brought out for the regular track, my guess they were just testing it on the formula 1 track and we got lucky to see it driving back to the warehouse in between.

The Track day was just another normal sunday at the Ring.

The Pontiac WS6 was brought from the states and is owned by one of the Engineers I work with at work.

Vague. Alright, I'll bite. What are you guys doing over there and did your friend bring the car with him, import it, or buy it there. As this is a forum and I can not gauge your facial expressions, am I to assume that you are some how upset by my implication that your friend might be in the military?

Not to mention it is a bit of a PR stunt runnin the GT-R around the Ring also.
So did you lose your pics of the GT-R?

I wasn't being vague I was just saying we aren't in the Military over here. We just do U.S. Gov. Contracting Engineering work. His car was brought over here when he moved here and its still on the U.S. system thats why he has the Military plates on it.

I only snapped 4 shots of the Skyline they were the 2 you saw here and two of when we were driving behind it. I could not get any more shots of it because I had some guy from Japan that chased us out of the parking lot.
