Who's down with the brown this week?

It's a beautiful day, so I'm going to try to stop by. Wow, two times in one summer!

I will roll over in the FD around 630.

A little hot out but it should be a decent night when it cools off

I'll come over -- hopefully around 7:00 or so.

I've been busy all week, so definitely could use a night off

Yeah man, whole front of the car is off to get to that pipe.... bumper cover, under support, grill, headlights, radiator, air pump, ect. Got it off. But for some reason VW likes to make high heat items out of plastic. So most of the things I pulled off to get to it broke, therefor tomorrow morning I need to get my *** up and call olympic.

I heard there was a GT-R up there... damn I wish I could have made it.

Here are the pics from the other weekend, not as good as I would hope, didn't get any group shots of all of us.

Yeah, the guy pretty freely admitted to being butt-reamed for the GT-R in order to take delivery now. He needed it for some sort of road rally in two weeks, and I'm guessing paid over $100k for it.

I wouldn't do that, but I have to say it's nicer-looking in person than in photos—and HUGE. Overall, it's at least the size of my friend's E55 AMG.

Car and Driver was testing a bunch of cars at VIR last Thursday, and they had a GTR there among other things. I arrived that afternoon for the NASA event as they were running the last few cars on track. Unfortunately I didn't see the GTR run, but it was sitting in the paddock until Friday afternoon.

It didn't seem that big to me, but then it wasn't sitting in a parking lot full of cars. There was an evo parked next to it and it didn't look that different in size. The big brake rotors actually look pretty small inside the 20" wheels. Very cool race tech two-piece floating rotors.
