Went there yesterday and it was pretty much bare with virtually nothing ground breaking or new.
The GT-R was right hand drive apparently because they could not locate a LHD here for the show lol!
The Ford F-250 turbo power stroke diesel has 7 radiators/intercoolers/cooling devices up front...SEVEN?! In a few years that truck would be totaled if it hit something that impacted the grill even the slightest bit lol!
All of Fords are cluster fucks under the hood, same as Mazda really. 90% of the wiring is corrugated plastic wrapped in electrical tape. Not even the high quality fabric tape but the cheap vinyl. Wires and vacuum lines EVERYWHERE!
The guy talking about the Lincoln concept car mentioned it had a tiptronic transmission just like supercars like the Mclaren. ohh realllyyy? I find that highly unlikely lol! Assuming he was talking about the SLR since the F1 has a 6 speed manual, that gearbox is hardly a tiptronic with 5 different shifting modes and probably cost as much as that concept car itself haha! Find me a Lincoln that will have Sport, Comfort and Manual modes PLUS Manual-Sport, Manual-Supersport, and Manual-Race settings...capable of holding like 700hp!
One thing cool about the Lincoln concept car was the rotors were attached to the wheel and the caliper was attached to the non-moving portion of the hub, hrmm...very interesting.
The WRX STI seats are awesome! Definitely topped the M3 sedan.
I boycotted Audi because they didn't have an S8 or even an A8.
Not that anyone cares but Hyundai didn't have any of their mini-vans while Honda had 3.
Hyundai's Genesis 4.6 sedan's drivers seat doesn't lower far enough for a tall person.
The Genesis Coupe should come with a twin turbo 4.6 V8. Now that would be sweet!
The Mercedes CLS63 AMG seat switch is broken and only goes up most of the time but does not seem to want to go down. I'll still take it.
The trunk of the Honda Ridgeline is BEGGING for 100lbs of ice and several dozen cases of beer. Somebody make it happen!
Did I mention the seats in the WRX STI...like a warm spot on lonely chilly night.
There's a silver R33 there that looks awfully familiar.
Butler tire doesn't have a booth so no cool modded cars unless you count GodFather Customs rides....errr lol!
The 1933 Buick sedan has a 454 bored 0.30 over with early 90's corvette suspension.
There's 2 companies selling aftermarket HID kits. Don't they know they're 100% illegal? Isn't it a federal crime to even sell them?
Yet another year of no e30 M3 toy models anywhere. The car to win more road races than any other model built and NOBODY ever has a model of it! hmmfff, fine then! lol.
The baddest truck there was a silver 4 door dodge dually but it's blocked off.
Everybody needs a micro car in their garage, or the trunk of their car, or their wives nightstand. I'm sure they will fit in all 4.
If anyone checks out the Smart Cars try lifting the tailgate of the Renntech green metallic riced out one with the blinking lights all over it. Not only does it have a single 10" (?) driver in it but I guess also about 75 lbs of cocaine. How on earth can something that small be so heavy?! Where are the wires going to said speaker?! There's a little harness inside black rubber just large enough to power the license plate lights but I can't figure out what wires are powering the subwoofer?! Is it 24 guage wire lol hidden inside the rubber loom?! I think too much.
The VW CC has clean lines, too bad VW makes it.
VW has an engine on display with chrome pistons. I want chrome pistons and a painted alternator.
I'll give anyone $50 to bring me the M3 sedan steering wheel.
The orange camaro's hood has vinyl "carbon fiber" look accents. sad.
There's a black Porsche Carrera 911 variant (maybe 964?) in a blocked off area on the FARR right. PLEASE tell me those aren't single piston rear calipers on the FRONT of that car...they sure look like it. :confused:
oh! There's a car there, a new model, that has either Porsche 930 or 944 brembo calipers on the front and rear of it...I can't recall what car it was though, something domestic I think lol!
Cliffnotes: I want a CLS63 AMG, a C63 AMG, an Acura P1, seats from a WRX STI, a M3 sedan, a F-150 Raptor driving simulator, and the tan blued eyed brunette chick named uhh....aw shit...oh! Krystal in the Ford section.
Mad reps for anyone that can prove [with pics] of going out with her after a show. That is your challenge if you choose to accept it.
