im heading there on sat...went last year and it was a pretty nice show...saw a lot of cars that i'd prolly never see on the streets.

 

I am going saturday should be interesting

 

The GT-R is NOT there. I don't think the LS-F was there either (trying to remember what the LS-F is, hahah). The first floor is where the good stuff is at. I rode in a new 4-Door Wrangler Rubicon through the 4 wheel drive course they had setup. I got some photos taken in front of the Jeep Gladiator and Dodge Viper SRT-10.

Porsche actually had a car that they let you sit in (it was a Cayman). They have a bunch of modified Scions down there on on exhibit. There is a whole modified car section on the first floor, but mostly that appears to be dedicated to the DUB style modified vehicles. I know someone at the Eastern's exhibit, so they let me behind the ropes to to take a picture by that Sky Blue Ferrari with Yellow seats.

Top floor Chevrolet has a Dyno exhibit. I sat in a Corvette Z06 and could actually comfortably sit in it (I was too tall for last year's model for some reason). The new Camaro is up on a podium. The Pontiac person confirmed for me that they will be coming out with a Trans Am or Firehawk again. Ford has their 2008 Super Dutys on display, but they won't let you sit in them. They also have a Shelby GT500 on display next to the regular cars (not up on a revolving podium), but you can't sit in it.

My mom was interested in getting a Chrysler 300C Executive Sedan with the Hemi, but I'm trying to push her towards getting a Corvette (she always wanted one her whole life, I told her its about time she gets one). So we will see what happens with that.

 

did they have the new tundra there?

 

I fucked that up, I actually meant the IS-F, the factory modified IS-450. Good review nonetheless though, thanks.

 

I think they had the tundra. If it was, it was extremely disappointing. Interior was very cheap looking and the truck itself was a total bomb in my book. You can sit in the super dutys im pretty sure. A bunch of people including my little group got to at least. Not sure what thats all about. Yeah the easterns exhibit was pretty badass. A phantom, lambo Spyder, and the ferrari with blue wheels. Boxer4psi, was the guys name Robert that you know that got you in behind the ropes? Overall it was somewhat lame on the top floor. First floor actually had some different interesting stuff.

 

I didn't really see Lexus at all there at the car show. The new Tundra is there. I sat in it and didn't care for the way the gauges were setup (the dash is completely dark, can't see anything on the gauges unless you start the truck). I didn't really care for the way the new Silverados looked either.

I know one of the girls at the Eastern exhibit who let me behind the rope. I don't know any of the ballers who had their car in the exhibit.

 

damn seems like a better show than last years

 

I agree. Last year's show wasn't that great.

 

while you are there....take the ride on the jeeps.......is fun. i was there for 2 nites with Acura.
