I even talked to a vehicle representive that told me about some of the new features. The ZL1 convertible was sitting on a platform spinning . I was unable to sit in it, look at or feel the interior up close or pop the hood. When I looked for a representitive to talk to nobody was around. I spent most of my time looking at the Hot Wheels Camaro (my son really liked that one). For a ZL1 fan I was unimpressed. At leased I got to see the Ashen Gray paint up close. Thank God I did. I have now officially switched back to Black.  |
The dyno demo was on a 2012 550hp GT500. They had a pro driver do a 0-135 run on the dyno with a couple of kids in the car. It was never pushed hard and no numbers were given.
The 2013 GT500 you could get in looked just like the rest of the cars there. I think the best looking one of the bunch was the Orange Boss. But I'm a little partial to Orange for some reason.
I wish that GM would have had a different color ZL1 at the show. The exposed CF hood didn't look that good on the Ashen Grey. I would have loved to see IOM or CRM with the exposed CF and seen what the stripes looked like with the exposed CF.
Now, the new transformers edition with the high wing.....OMFG!!!! That looked sick! The stripes are bad azz!
