Just got back from there. I saw plenty of black f-bodies, but don't recall seeing a orange Trans Am.

See a black F-Body with Graphite Wheels?

That was me.

My buddy didn't cruise in his T/A much until Saturday nite.
There was also a PPM C5 with us.

What about the SSR's man? They were freakin' everywhere!

I don't remember seeing that many SSR's, but I did get to see a new GTO in person. I've been looking at the Pontiac dealers around here, and everywhere on the road with no luck, so I was hoping to run into one there. I've read everyones opinions about how much better it looked in person, but I have to say I wasn't impressed at all. There's not even a hint of aggressive styling whatsoever. I know it's not supposed to be a flashy sports car or anything, but it's pretty bad when a Grand Prix looks meaner.

Some of the more memorable vehicles include that pewter Chevy truck that was like 2 stories tall, and a ton of nice first gen Camaro's.

No doubt! There were quite a few.

I saw a yellow GTO parked (probably the same one you checked out?) - and a blue one driving.

The engine was nice - and the interior was nice. Other than that its just a family car. That is bad for a sports car - it doesn't even look agressive at all like you said - when back in the day it was just mean.

The "REAL" new Impala SS was built off of a CAPRICE - and it looked more agressive.

Yup, bright yellow GTO backed into a parking space in front of a hotel. Had the hood popped up for most of the day, more than likely so that people might actually look at it. If I saw one going down the street, I probably wouldn't even turn my head. It was the most boring, blinding yellow car I'd ever seen.

BTW, are we the only people from the board that went?
