Sweet car, the stripe kills it for me though. I'd still take it though =P Did you do a ride along or get to drive? I've been wanting to race a road course for a long time.
I know there is one in Germany where i'll be going. Its the famous nerunburger (some bs like that I cant spell) thats suppose to be great.
I just rode in it. but 90 mph around turns feels awsome

I dont doubt it. I did a ride along with a really good drive when I was doing auto x and that was fun. No where near 90 but still a blast. Being in a vette doing 90 around turns and really seeing what that thing can do would be a blast. I'd be happy as hell just riding.
I rode around mid-ohio in a 350z at full speed, several corners at like 70-95mph, and let me tell you, nothing in this world will ever prepare you for that feeling haha. we topped out 130 mph a couple times before slamming the brakes and headin into a corner around 50 mph. Truly a life changing experience...you think you wanna road race now? wait till you ride along once...it'll ruin your checking account forever

I'll even highlight the warning. cuz truer words never been spoken
^^^I agree We hit 140 on the longest straight and brakes to 65 around a 85degree turn

one of his bosses owned a 911 GT3 and i think he's back at the place. Odds are, something nicer then a vdub
there was at least 4 GT3's and like 6 Lotus Elises a Miata, 2 M3's, 1 Mustang Cobra, 4 Vettes, and so much more, I just want to move out there a race all day.
I wish I was rich!

lol god im dumb my grandparents live like 5 seconds away...
my grandparents live like 2 miles from mid ohio too...what is it about grandparents near the race track?
ive known about this place since before they built it cause im interested in road racing and such stuff but yeah i cant afford the 20K+ initiation fee or whatever they call it i cant remember. oh well someday in the future.
yep $20k Initiation and then 3K for every year after that. I almost asked him to take the Cavalier around the track, but I came to my sences and realized there wouldn't be much brake pads left.
