They're probably venting at the fact that it's even there. When you have a show with a bunch of classic cars and people who have spent countless hours working on these cars to make them faster, they aren't going to be giddy when someone brings over a brand new stock car and expects to steal praise. It's THEIR show, let them have their fun and don't crash their party with a car that does not fit the "old/classic car that has been worked on" mold.
For this reason I will never take my car to a classic show. Let the old cars get their respect and don't try to steal their thunder.

Read the OPs followup, he never said it was a
Classic car show. And anyway, I've brought mine to a "Classic" car show - in the background - and only got postive comments and tons of questions. Maybe its the crowd you hang with, but pretty much anyone into cars will be respectful of "what ya brung". That is, if they have any class....
"
Steal praise"??? What the heck is that? Didn't know that praise was a limited commodity and assigned to only
certain people's
cars !?!?!
"Crash their party" - What? I never went to any informal gathering of cars that was by invite only regardless of what was there.
People should loosen up! Enjoy the fact that you have a similar interest - cars! And celebrate the differences in them.
Be inclusionary, not exclusionary....Geeze!
