Yesterday, Autoblog reported that the Nurburgring is officially for sale. The famed track, including the roller coaster that was closed down, can be yours for just $165-million. A while back when the Nurburgring first filed for bankruptcy I had a post suggesting that Porsche step in to save the Nurburgring.

You may remember not that long ago that Motor Trend pitted the SRT Viper GTS against the Corvette ZR1 and the ZR1 was the faster of the two on the track (if you haven’t seen the video you can view it here).
