Thought some of you guys around here might be interested in some pictures from this. It was a good year, really happy to see the new Evo, STI, and of course the new GT-R.

I didn't that pictures of some the the higher end booths, too many people or nothing that really interested me. Lambo, Jag, Bentley, etc.

'bout 333 pictures, enjoy!

Is that a caravan SRT? If so... i must drive one.

Only an R/T

The window sticker was gone so all I can assume that they were visual upgrades, maybe a few performance things. Scoop, dual exhaust, wheels, etc.

Be cool if it was an SRT

Looks like a Caliber! I would sh1t a brick if it had the same engine as the Caliber SRT-4.

It does have a functional hoodscoop for something. But then again I doubt it because they would need an auto for it being a mini-van and all.

They had it locked too so I couldn't try to pop the hood.

And on the Caliber the hood latch was either broken or disabled so I couldn't open that either.

Caravans used to have an available MTX so I think that it might be interesting, especially with an SRT engine.

Great pics Dave, thanks for sharing!

It is a R/T. 4.0l engine, 6 speed auto trans. Same powertrain as the higher end Caravans/Town & County, just much cooler looking

I want that GT-R. Now. Even if I have to work my ass off literally just for it.

I miss going

I wanted to go this year but didn't have the money so maybe next year

The local show here sucks! Damn near every car had horrible swirl marks in the paint, it was sickening.

I only got to go this year because I found someone at the last minute who was going and rode up with them. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to go either.

I'm probably going to do the same thing again on Friday and catch a ride up to Sno*Drift with some local subie guys. So except some rally photos when I get back.
