Weighs around 2,400 pounds & less than a dozen around, so looks like the show really turned out another rarity this month.
That looks like it . . so it kinda looks like a kit based Lemans cars.

Very interesting...from a distance the front end/cockpit almost looked like a mosler. I used to love those things. Seems like they are taking the same concept from mosler with the engines since as I recall they are running gm power plants also.

In all fairness, just about everyone in this market runs a GM block.

I normally pass on the Auto Show, but it seems this year will be worth attending as there will supposedly be a lot of high class cars coming such as the Aston Virage, '12 Continental GT, MP4-12C, & including the Veyron SS. Lamborghini & Ferrari were reportedly returning along with Rolls-Royce.

So, just wondering if anyone wants to go as a group & then perhaps lunch/dinner afterwards?

If so, I will see about getting a few free tickets for anyone interested. The show runs this weekend April 7th-10th, & I can do Saturday or Sunday, no problem.

Just throwing the idea out there.

Not many landmarks in that area to meet up around. I am gonna wake up early and seafoam the car so I will barely make the 10am mark. Let me know if there is anywhere around 75/30. Unless you want to meet a little north on 75 but I dont want you to waste your gas and have to double track back.

Well Honda tech meet was crazy. Met a couple new people. There was a pretty good TL turnout. More than I expected like 6 cars or so. The meet itself was big and people behaved themselves which was a plus. I had a good day and it was also nice meeting all of you at Starbucks.
