Went on Saturday evening...some impressions:

The Enzo was crazy looking, but you couldn't get too close.

No Carrera GT, which would have been cool because it'd be right next to the Enzo and a nice comparison.

300C looked somewhat odd, and that front end is really big in person. I can't imagine anyone getting the base engine in this car.

Ford GT looked like it had some very suspect build quality, but maybe that was just me.

New interior of the 2005 Corvette was nice, but I still like the look of the current version outside.

Mercedes has a nice spread, but you couldn't get in many of them (s'okay, got to drive an SL 500 convertible for a week last year).

Cars I found out I don't fit in: Crossfire, S2000, Mini, maybe the Vette, G35C/350Z. This last one is a bit subjective, but it made me happy to get back outside and into my CLS.

Overall, a fairly bland show, without very many show-stoppers or radical concepts. Mainly a buyer's paradise of normal cars.

Anyone else have an positive or negative thoughts on the show??

Nice. I still might try and stop by there this week..

I went a few times, a few years back...they aren't too exciting. Had more fun at the terminal market...

Now, if we could get a SEMA show close enough, that'd be awesome.

How much longer is the philly show on for?

Chris, isn't there going to be a SEMA show in Atlantic City? I heard about that somewhere.

Red-CL

I went Sat. It was some nice shit there.

There was a Pontiac Concept (yes Pontiac ) that was pretty nice.

It's going on until the 8th (next Sunday)

chef chris

Really??? I'd go if I knew when.

I hadn't heard anything about it.

If I am not mistaken, the Pontiac "concept" was the 2002 Solstice, right? That was quite nice, but then they also had a modded up Grand AM and a G6 which weren't too much to look at.

I will attend the show next Saturday. I have gone for 3yrs in a row now, nothing too impressive any of the years I went.

Is the public allowed to get into SEMA shows?

Chaptorial

chef chris

Some are open to public, some not. Check the SEMA site to be sure.
