Re: Dallas Auto Show April 5-9
Well, I can do you one better. I just got done downloading about 200 or so pics from the "private" showing. The first couple of pages are of the camaro, then there are a bunch of other cool cars at the show, and finally starting on page 12 I got a bunch of the new Challenger! Yep, surprise! The Challenger is at this show!
First off let me tell you about this showing. This was basically a preview show with only about 500 people total at the whole show. Every booth was manned (along with the hotties!) but there was a full pasta bar, cheese & veggie trays, and of course FREE beer/wine and all the soft drinks you could drink. Also, besides Aston Martin, we were given full access to all the cars so you could get up and close and I bet I got some shots you just won't be able to get. I also got to sit in a new Caymen! This is the only way to do the auto show definitely. Absolutely no crowds, booze, hotties who are all to happy to help you, and no roped off sections besides the concepts. We'll have to figure out to get everyone in next time. We got in about 5:45 and left about 9:30. Did I mention there bascially wasn't any crowd??![Cool](https://www.vorshlag.com/forums/core/images/smilies/Acool.gif)
Now about the Camaro. I just have to disagree with Brian when he says it can't compete. Now this was just a concept, yet fully driveable, but the Mustang is no comparison. You really need to see the car in person. Go look at it (or the Challenger) and then look at the Mustang and it's not even close. Actually both Ed and I feel the Mustang already looks dated next to them (and Ed has a deposit on a GT500). But I guess to each his own. You go see it and decide for yourself.
And without further adieu, here's the pics:
