The Best car in the GMU car show.

I dunno bout u guys, but my favorite car in the show was the stock silver M5. Every car was either overdone or underdone.

Best car I've seen to date is Adam Sawaratari's (or however u spell it) RX-7. I saw it 3 years ago too.

Anyone see that sad looking Legend "Be part of a Legend" hahaha.

Yea, that legend has one alot of awards in the past, but I dont think its anything special. Yea James was there late, around 2:30, he couldn't make the meet so he came to the show, but I think most of you guys had left already. Well the car that one best of show was the White integra up front with the nissan silvia conversion.

I really dug the S2000 with the comptech sc even though it was a little overdone.
And the brand new M3. The color was bad but I would so love to drive one.

Boo to that S2000. That's Charles' car, and if you look at the picture someone took, the red paint on the front kit doesn't match the rest of the car. Cheap paint job. Car maybe fast, but it's ugly.

Too bad no one had an Aston Martin DB7 Vantage....they sound and look badass.

Thats funny you mention the Aston Martin... I actually saw one of those (I think) coming home from the GMU show. I had to go through Tysons Corner and I was on International Drive when I see this Light blue colored car I had never seen before coming up in my rear view. The front of it was wild looking... the headlights reminded me a little of the McLaren F1 they way they have the lenses incased in rounded glass and the tail end reminded me of a old corvette, with the built in lip spoiler thing. This one was a convertible as well. All in all a really nice looking car. The funny thing was we ended up both lined up next to eachother at a red light and I was so busy looking at his car trying to figure out what kind it was that the light turned green without me noticing and he took off fast.

I forgot about the IS300 with the body kit. That car looked GREAT! (It didn't look like a 4door Civic like the regular IS300.)

Isn't the DB7 awesome. Sounds like it has an aftermarket exhaust on it... SWEET!

For $120k I'd rather spend $30k more on a 360 Modena.

DB7 works better as a second exotic car... after u've gotten Ferrari out of your system. :P
