Hi, all. Just returned from press day at the Chicago auto show. It nice to attend then because of the total lack of people and the increased access to most of the cars.(except the 3 listed above http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif) To me nothing was mind boggling except for how the lighting played havoc with my shots and I could not tell till I got home. Sorry in advance for the lack of Challenger shots, they just came out bad and I took less than I thought. ( I think I was checking out the models who were there early for a walk through http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif)
Enjoy anyway.

JOHN

comments:
* that GT 500 KR looks pretty sweet
* that "Bullitt" doesn't do much for me. where is the scoop? why not come out with some radials with small raised white lettering retro style to set off the tires?
* the Chally is looking pretty good - can't believe only slush boxes for 1st yr tho!
* Viper ACR may be lethal on the track, but that paint scheme is horrific. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
* Camaro - profile shot ain't too bad. WTFO on the Z stripes on a car called the "bumblebee"? Maybe when the Z actually comes out the stripes will go perpendicular to these stripes http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif ! Nice arse altho it smacks of 'vette!
* Blue Devil http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Can-I-Have-It.gif

Nice shots; I still think the Camaro is better looking than the Challenger. The Bullitt needs to be lowered but, the Shelby is hot.

Camaro is catching up with me as far as liking its looks. The challenger looks badda$$ in black, but my shots were poor. ZR1 looked awesome and so did the shelby. My favorite car was the Audi R8, but thats not the focus here.
