gt-r's sick, but it's rhd, which isn't bad still. no touching though!!! haha. the sti is awesome too, except for the stupid clear taillights. so many cars to browse around. i'm gonna head there tonight i believe.

 

[subspeed6]

Dude.... I was all about the Dodge Challenger concept.... I LOVE IT! I hope they don't change a single thing on it. I forgot my camera so no pictures from me this time. Sorry......

I didn't see anyone there.... I thought I saw Chuyler but it was someone random dude when I got closer.

btw.... Who owned the red speed 6 that I so conviently parked behind. Hehe.

The 911 was soooooooo comfortable and the shifter was THE BEST one I've ever seen, sooo soft, short, precise throws. The GTR looked cool, to bad no EVO X, they did have an STi.

I won an iPod shuffle from hyundai!

 

[kalte]

Yeah, was expecting an EVO X too...i like the RS4's shifter too, though i didn't get the chance to try out the 911

Congrats on your win !!(first)

 

[Rotary_Powered]

Thanks, I took 110 pictures. I've got to upload them I'll try to post a few.

There was no EVO X because the only one in America supposedly was in California and they couldn't get it up to the show according to the representative there.

The rep for the GT-R is a complete idiot. A hot chick with no sense or smarts unfortunately. She wouldn't pop the hood because "there isn't anything to look at. it has no chrome, why would you want to see it anyway" <<directly from her mouth, i wanted to slap her.

As for the Challenger, I love it and want one reallll bad. The rep told me and some friends like 5 different projections for quarter mile times lol.

Looking at the MS3 i had some kid and his friend in the near area saying the 3 had the turbo setup in the front of the motor along with a fmic lol. I corrected them then had to pop the hood to confirm.

All in all i loved every bit of the show, the new sti was a favorite but the clear tails are wicked, um, gay. other than that as a vote for what one car i would take home. i'd pick the rally sti lol. perfect.

Really? I talked to her and she seemed to really know what she was talking about. I asked about opening the hood and she said she would love to show it off but they won't let her open the hood. She also knew about the older Skylines and a bunch of other stuff I asked her. She was probably being sarcastic or it could have been a different rep. (boom03)

Or maybe she memorized everything she needed to say?


I was kind of laughing when I saw the price for the Acura TL Type-S.... 40k for it.... Hehe for just about that price you could get the BMW 335xi.

I talked a lot w/ one of the Mazda reps after he noticed my hat. Michael was his name... Didn't catch his last name.. Awesome guy and definitely new his stuff about Mazdas.

Anyone else spot the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8? It wasn't in the Jeep display area and was chilling out by itself. Hehe that thing gets 10 City and 14 Highway. I was looking at the Audi S4 and then I noticed something... While it does shift smooth.. (very smooth I might add) the pedals on the floor are greatly differing in height. Was it the same for anyone who sat in the RS4? I didn't get a chance to sit in it. =/

and again.... I want that Challenger. That thing was just... well... just beautiful.

Edit: Was it just me or did anyone else notice that most of the cars w/ manuals were missing their shifter knobs?
