I'm in the Car Club of Virginia Tech, and each semester we have a car show. In order to promote this car show to the rest of campus, we have a display on the Drillfield

(for those of you who aren't familiar with the VT campus, the Drillfield is a large open field that divides the campus from the residential/food buildings and the academic buildings, so almost everyone that lives on campus has to pass by this area to get to class, so today I would estimate somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,000 people walked by)

The Drillfield Promo consisted of 4 cars from the club - my 03 Touring Z, a 95 3000GT VR-4 (w/ 22k invested in it), an S10 (with a small block chevy 350 v8 swap in it), and a 2006 Corvette Z06 (awesome). It was pretty exciting, I was picked along with the other three guys from a pool of applicants to represent the club. It was a lot of fun and I got a lot of compliments (3 people even skipped the rest of the cars and went straight for mine!).

Anyway, here are the pics -















P.S. - Please disregard the poor performance of my school's football team against BC tonight.

 

What's your team thinking? They had a week off!

Nice cars!

 

Beautiful photos.

 

Hey ... they're still better than my Alma mater ... Terps can only beat chump no name schools ... nice pics.

 

fear the turtle...

 

Mr Pratt can you guys can have TekWon Z back I'll ship him back priority.....LOL

 

i miss visiting Tech, i should drop by again sometime and checkout the new rides. Nice car! That GT is friggin SICK!

 

yeah man Tony (the guy who owns the GT) was telling me all about it -

forged internals - its capable of 600 whp
upgraded turbos
chrome cast engine parts
custom exhaust
custom leather interior
lambo doors
some kind of sick sound system

I've always thought that car was awesome, I'm glad they put it out there.

 

Way to represent man. I was about to come up there this weekend for RU Alumni weekend....not this weekend. I miss Radford and Blacksburg

 

Nice, i'll have to ask my brother if he saw that.

 

mrpratt you need spacers imo.

 

yeah, i have spacers, they aren't enough though. I didn't realize the offsets were so off until after I had the tires mounted (back over the summer) and put them on, and then they wouldn't take them back.

In the spring when these tires are worn out i am going to replace the wheels with 19x8" front and 19x9" rear konig troubles, and lower profile tires.

so i know they don't look perfect, but I really don't want to buy larger spacers and then have 8 spacers to try and sell in the spring, its almost winter anyway, the Z won't be out much until march/april when it begins to warm up down here.

 

that Z06 is ohh so sexy!!!! Great pics man

 

To Mr Pratt-oh sorry to hear that, good luck with your new wheels

 

so when is the car show again? i'm defiantely going to try to make it!

 

lol it was today, there will be another one in the spring tho

 

nice man, I go to UVA and our car club isnt close to yours. We should def try to go to an auto X between school, maybe a lil healthy competition or something. Since its official that both our teams arent doing as well as we planned and UVA is ****ing awful maybe our cars can do a lil more haha

 

maybe you should get more cars? lol
