just got back from the NY auto show.......56k warning

and ofcorse ran over to that GT500KR! took some pics but they were with my cell phone. like a moron i forgot my camera at home but i think they came out pretty good considering.

i have to say, the biggest crowd in the entire place was around this bad boy. i heard some many ppl saying, o its not worth it, its just a mustang. i shivered when i heard that. when the spokesman got on and talked about the beast, he put so much effort into it i could hear the crowd drueling ahahaha.

i also had a chance to check out the shelby GT500. only got to take one picture since there was a freakin line to get into the car. one thing i DID hear was some couple arguing over the price of it. The husband saw the sticker and said, see honey i told you, only 46k. she said o wow that really isnt too bad.
i came sooooooo close to crushing is dreams and telling him about the ridiculous dealer mark-ups but i decided to let him live in his dream even if it was only for a short while.

Jason,

Can you tell us whether the stripes were painted or vinyl?

If painted, did you happen to hear the name of the paint used?

i dont remember if they even mentioned the paint scheme. all he kept going on and on about were the power specs and how rare and limited this will be.

Hey I will be going to the show on Wenesday. I will bring a decent camera for some shots. Could you tell me what the cost to get in is? Anywhere around for parking?

It looks just about identical to the DCF/Trufiber 68 GT-R hood. Hell, Trufiber is probably making it for Shelby!

I might go this week. I am only 5 minutes or so from the ferry that takes you a block from the show.

But usually the place is crowded as hell, and tough to get near any of the popular cars.

Last time I went ferrari was a no show, which sucked.

yea i got that samsung with the 3.2 megapixel camera on it. cost me a pretty penny but i got it specifically for the camera that way even if i dont have anything else on me, the phone camera is still pretty decent. yea the KR up close was incredible. my friends didnt get the whole thing but me, i was in awe.

beside the auto show, the only other way im gonna get that close is at a mustang meet or another show.

frerrar has its own section now just like every other auto maker. i was suprised since every other year they didnt bother to show. i didnt check them out but i saw the section andit was mobbed. only cars i went to really check out were the GT500KR, pontiac G8 and some of the custom stangs on the lower level with the trucks, ie, roush and saleen
