Shots from a car show

I am trying to follow F1 this year in anticipation for the Austin race in November so I started attending the F1 watch parties at Cool River this year. Today there was a charity event / car show in the parking lot. I took these shots with my phone. There were many more, but these are the ones I found interesting. Enjoy!

Does the GT have enough torque to be able to tow something?

Edit: should have been in red text.

Yes, the 86 911 Turbo, in that color. One of my favorite Porsches. There were "better" Porsches there but this one caught my eye immediately.

I'm sure it does, but it was just for show. A pick-up truck pulled the boat in and out of there. Sweet display though.

The rarest car there was that (well maintained) Renault Alpine.
My favorite was the 328 GTS.
"Best in Show" - Ford GT
Most interesting - Burgundy Karma (absolutely gorgeous inside and out)
The one I would actually have if I could afford it - R8 V10 (but of course )

standouts for me:

I was always intrigued by this car when I was younger. Still am, not as much though.




gotta love the LFA.




nice combo (even if it was just for show).




another one of my favorite cars as a kid. and I mean this model specifically.

This is the second time I've seen the LFA and I want to like this car, but it just ain't "doing it for me". But, yes, the Alfa Romeo Spyder is one of my childhood, early adulthood favorites as well, but I prefer the black one.

Love the Cobras(or Cobra replicas) and the yellow Mustang Mach 1.


The diversity of the cars makes it look like a fun show, too.
