I definitely plan on going to the Nurburgring! Thats priority #1 even if i just take a taxi ride around it, i would definitely like to at least do 1 lap.

I will also check out the Pfadt shop there. I'm guessing its not going to be as bad there as i thought as far as parts, and getting work done there.

I'm out of Ft. Bliss right now, and i'l be there until February, thats when i move to Germany. I plan on buying a contour cam, so all my auto travels will be well documented. I'll have to get on corvette forums Deutschland and see if they do meets, if not i'll get it started! I definitely miss me some America!

Lucky You!! I was stationed in Schweinfurt from 03-06. I brought my 01 WS6 Trans Am with me. Had loads of fun. The stock brakes on the WS6 are not comparable to the Z06 brakes, but just the same I think Brake mods are the most important, along with a good set of rubber. The Z06 in stock form has enough *** to give most cars a run for their money. Be safe and Enjoy!!!

Also while you're there check out "German Race Wars". It's kinda like a big party with a ton of cars and some drag racing on the airstrip. Rain, Snow, Fog it doesn't matter, they are gonna party and race.

Im not really into drag racing but it seems worth checking out for sure. Now i just need to decide what brake upgrade to do, and what tires to get. Decisions, decisions.
