Here are a couple of eagle-eye shots where Chris and I took the pics.

I still say we should shoot for a CTS/CTS-V track day if there are enough within realistic driving distance.

For a CTS-V track day? Boston is a realistic distance...

You are Truly a Blessed Man! You Definitely have The Ultimate Dream Car Garage! Not only to have a New CTS-V, but a T1 Z06 AND a C6R too! WOW!

Do they allow peeps to come out and watch cars race at the Autobahn? I'd like to see either of those Vettes on the big track! With the right driver, I'll bet they haul butt, and I'm guessing that if you've got a C6R and a T1 car, you're the right driver! Thanks for sharing those pics!

I suppose you are correct, may there be no boundaries!

Members can bring out guests and we are discussing more public access for upcoming events this year. I believe World Challenge will be here in late July.

Thank you.

The garage is headed to it's second full season. It is about 98% complete.

It is a collaboration of 10 members who are pure car enthusiasts. It has become our home away from home during race season.

Nah, I'm thinking more of a civilized event where everyone can just enjoy their cars!

I live in Houston and I would seriously consider coming up for that. The joy of a V road trip along with tracking on that phenomenal piece of real estate sounds awesome!

We live 45 minutes southeast; we could be there! Wow that is amazing; I'm in awe.

Let's monitor interest as more owners take delivery. I think it would be a blast to have a lot of CTS-Vs out there, V1s and V2s.

I'd make the 10 hour drive from VA again for that. If I don't have a V can I bring the Z instead?

Quick question about the color: is the CTS-v's "Thunder Grey" the same as the XLR-v's "Grey Flannel"? If not, how are they different? Anyone have any ideas? Those few dealers who carry any XLR-V's anymore out here in SoCal are holding blacks, whites and maybe a red one, and they're pretty much 08's; the Grey's a new color for 09 on the xlr-v and I've yet to see it in person.
