Hey Tyler, I am not sure. I don't believe so...the photographer used 3 strobes during the shoot, but i think it's mostly a light photoshopping.

I'm no expert but I thought that's what HDR was, 3 different lightings then some PS conversions? Oh well, it looks killer bro. What did you do, have someone come do a shoot?

HDR is when you take several identically framed shots, at different expsosure levels, and then meld them together in PS. This shot was taken once, but just with some extra strobes thrown in. But it was still one shot. I am not expert either, but that's how I understand it.

We actually get a chance to DRIVE the GTR for a run down the track? I will take on the GTR after that little test drive - lol. Of course if it no longer works right, it's not my fault...

I am seriously considering this... I'm N/A right now, but the GTM Stage 1 Twin Turbo Kit is in my sights like in 3 weeks...ugh. I wonder how many from the DC area will be coming down?

Anyone considering FI should come take a ride in a few different builds. The GTM stage 1 should be pretty similar to an APS or JWT 700bb kit. (GTM better, of course Sam, just saying as a point of comparison because I don't think we'll have a GTM stage 1 down there)

Thanks RC!!!! I have to line up a driving partner or the GF to come down. It's pretty far. Like a 10 hour drive.

Haha... I'm only N/A so I restricted to just double the speed limit...

XKR I from Cary, NC to the airport is 4.5 hours west on 40. I have to drive down 95 which is about 6 hours. I could probably do it in 7 though...

Oh yeah

I'm actually more excited about driving the GTR than my own car, lol. Will also be good to put faces to names from the forum, that alone will be worth the trip imo.
