Here are some photos of my 1980 Firebird at Road America with the Midwest F-Body Association event this past weekend (F-Body is GM-speak for Camaros and Firebirds). About 65 cars in attendance, including an F355 and two Nissan GT-R's (sadly no Spykers!).
I'm admittedly not a big Japanese car fan (save for the NSX), but the new GT-R has got to have set a new record for Least Inspiring Exhaust Note Ever, just displacing the early side-exhuast Vipers. At idle the thing sounds like an odd-fire Buick 231 V6, down a cylinder, under water:
bwuh bwuh bwuh bwuh bwuh bwuh bwuh bwuh bwuh bwuh bwuh
Anyway, other than the 50 degree (F) weather, we had a good time, as you see the fall colors were coming in nicely! I even managed to crack a few brake rotors, so in spite of the cold track we were pushing pretty hard!
