Well just got back from speedorama and i must say that i'm very disappointed.
It has been a while since going to this show (a few years now). I'm used to seeing tons of classic rods. Way too many ricers. There were a hand full of 05 stangs which was nice to see. And whats with all this carbon fibre nonsense? In one year out the other (IMO).
Did anyone else visit this show and what was your opinion?

I gave up on Speedorama a few years ago.

Performance World in March at the International Centre is the show to see the classics and the rods.

They do have some imports, but they are in a separate building way in the back. Kind of like "I guess we have to let them in, but we don't want them in the way"!

Steve I agree, I haven't been to speedorama in years.

Performance world is a pretty good show. They usually have a lot of the "big" showcars on the circuit.

Big D,

I think the cruises on Tuesdays have moved to Shopper's World.

I have seen that blown Hemi GTX, the tunnel-rammed roadrunner is sweet too.
