GRD OPen House PICS *THICKER THEN A SNICKER WARNING**
Here are my pics from an open house @ Genesis Racing and Development (GRD), Villa Park, IL. Harsh lighting... but some decent shots.

Lol I was about to say the same thing! Synth's NSX makes that GTR look like a stub nosed hog. I do like that Porshe in the similar orange though. Never seen that color on a P-car before.

Oh HUSH! You already have a car that would make 9/10's of Acurazine instantly get a boner every time they see your car.

I had that same color Eclipse. Damn, I miss that car.

As a former owner, I believe I have the right to say those mirrors look absolutely horrible.

Can't seem to pull the exif data from my computer, but pretty sure it's the 10-22. I did however do some major editing in Photoshop since the lighting was horrible.

Did they move to villa park or still have the one in Naperville?

They were at one other location before Naperville in my Audi days. I cant remember where currently.

LensInfo = "10/1 22/1 0/0 0/0"
Lens = "EF-S10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM"


Excellent pics. That maroon Z is super clean.
