i leave on teusaday beyotch

 

I am driving from SD up to the LA show this saturday. The... 8th?

 

Thanks to Mark and Mitsu for the free ticket. I got to see the whole auto show, and went to the Dr. Evo reception. Sport Compact Car made a presentation of the second year in a row "Car of the Year" to the EVO VIII.

Unfortunately, there was not a 35th Anniversary 350Z at the show, only 2005 Blue Enthusiast 6 MT and White Roadster 5AT.

The best car at the L.A. show, IMHO, was the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve. Quad-Turbo 12 cylinder engine and carbon fiber body. 850 hp, 0 - 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, 0 - 100 mph in 6.2 seconds, 1/4 mile in 10.4 seconds at 142 mph, and top speed of 248 mph !!!

Also, there was a Lotus Exige in the aftermarket exhibits, that had the same 0 - 60 mph as the Four-Twelve.

All in all, it was not one of the best auto shows. Not that many interesting debuts. The Ferrari F430 is nice, and the new VW Jetta looks cool. I like the new Audi A4 bigmouth grille, but the tail-lights are ugly.

So much for my review.

 

430 makes me want a ferrari over a porsche

 

Hey, did you see any of the Dodges? I was hoping to see the Magnum SRT-8. That's the next car I buy if my wife gets pregnant again. I've got to have a family car you know. My son is almost 2 now and he loves going for a ride in my G, but it's not big enough for two carseats and all the lugage that goes with them.



Or if the pic doesn't post. Here's the link.

Dodge Magnum SRT-8

 

Get an EVO. It's got a full back seat, 4-door and a trunk, and it will run circles around your 350Z.

 

i wouldnt say it would run circles around a 350z....

 

Well, I have owned both a 2003 350Z Track, and a 2004 EVO RS, both heavily modified. And I can tell you from personal experience that an EVO runs circles around a Z. I know you don't want to hear that, but I don't think you are speaking from the kind of personal knowledge that I am.

 

Sorry, I'll take a 350z or g35 over a evo any day. If I wanted a trakc-only car I'd buy a radical.


Anyway, about THIS thread, found the LA show kinda disappointing. No z06, and a few other things I expected. Like the new S4 alot tho...
