My question: Is that another bike strapped to the hood deer-hunter style or just parked in front of the car?

Nice find Nizer!

**** bike though. Would have been better if he had a all carbon full suspension MTB! But true enthusiast nevertheless.

I met this guy last weekend. Super nice guy (sorry, I forgot your name if you are reading this). He is using and enjoying the crap out of that car.
He trailers his equipment to events and uses the rack for his kids bikes, who love the car. He had rear seats made up out of Alcantara, that look factory, and his wife daily drives the car to work.

That's my friend Adil heading for an AutoX. The bike is to make those long walks easier and for his kid to ride while at the event.

We both share the notion that the GT cars are meant to be used and enjoy fully. No need for Track Only rides (a Racecar is always better) or garage queens. He also installed rear seats and belts as I did.
