Default Detroit Auto Show pics

Drove up to Detroit Saturday and snapped a few pics. Unfortunately I didn't get to many. By the time 3pm rolled around it was PACKED.

Here are a few of the better shots. Click to enlarge.

I hope Chevy will bring the Camaro back know that Ford Mustang's are pretty much the only muscle car left. The Dodge Challenger looks just as nice.

Yeh they were saying the camaro is strictly a proto at this point..... Tear.... In the proto it was running a 400hp aluminum small block similiar to the northstar getting an impressive 31mpg with light foot driving.

It seems everyone is bringing back old designs. I'm sure they'll follow. Ford redesigned the mustang to after the older models, chrysler is coming out with the challenger, charger and the GTO. Chevy needs to come out with a modern muscle car.

Speaking of the GTO. They had a GTO G6 at the show to. no pics because it was so crowded but get these specs. All wheel drive, 6 spd tranny and sporting an LS2 small block at 400hp. Things gotta haul....

Yeh the rep was saying that if we want to see it on the pavement we had to email in our interest. So to me, that says they aren't making it.

I'm uploading some larger images now. around 1100 x 800 and i'll link everyone. Might be a better wallpaper than 800 x 600

I can email full size images that are 2800 x 2100 too.

Ok so here are 50 photos from the show. Unfortunately photobucket resized them to 1mb.... So anyhow, if you like any of them and want larger images reply with your email, the size you need and what image you want (EX: DSCF3390)

I'm really not to fond of the new GTO if you ask me it's just a Grand Pre with rear wheel drive and yes a V8. it looks nothing like the orignals


thanks for the rest of your pics. the Challenger and the 2dr Charger look really old school

my bad the chicks *** is covering the back door. they need to lose the back doors on the charger:?

I haven't different takes on it.

A good looking redesigned car? no. I agree about your grand prix statement.

but put a 400hp car in any car and it becomes cooler

yes to a point but come on it has no features of the old school GTO.hell Ford Mustangs are sweet and I'm not a Ford fan.



Then lets see them bring back the Chevy Monza with 400hp
