I am 95% sure I will be taking a temporary transfer to Germany in 2008 for my job. I don't know how long I will be there or when I will be leaving but I am pretty sure this is going to happen. I've done a few Google searches on transporting US street-driven cars to Germany but haven't gotten a whole lot of concrete information, just broadbrush stuff.

Based on what I saw, it appears that this will cost around $3,000 minimum roundtrip but I am also very interested in any safety/emissions/etc. modifications that might be required. While it is unlikely that I will get to take the car, I'd like to be armed with enough information to make a quick, informed decision before ruling it out.

In case you are interested, I am looking at taking my 1997 WS6 that has been modified for track use (purchased from fellow frraxer "BobbyLee" earlier this year). It would be fun to try some lapping days over there with some "American Iron" in addition to just getting to and from work.

Any information would be interesting at this point. Thanks.
