Skyline GT-R as track car?

[noobedloser]

what do you guys think about owning a gt-r in the US as a track or show car?
i recently watched formula drift series and show a bayside blue r34 gt-r drifting away on a track and was thinking that seems like fun.
do you guys think its worth it to just drive around in a gtr even though its only on a track?

Here's the thing, to do the track car method legally, you have to have a list of dates and events that your imported car will be participating in. It has to get approved for that first.

Then, once your temp visa is up, the car is supposed to be exported back to country of origin.

Is it worth it? Quite simply...no.

i know, i can get a skyline shell, scrap the RB and throw in a KA with CARB legal connections... i knew there was a solution here....

I know that this is a huge bump but i did use the search key to find this. I was just wondering after the first year would there be anyway to renew the visa to keep the car for another year.
