The show is an industry event by
invitation only. The list of vendors and exhibits is too long to list.
The vehicles that represent
exhibitors company's are way beyond what you will see at any other
venue.
The weather in Vegas is perfect for this
type of show. Warm, dry and sunny November days make this an amazing
perfect place for a car show. The outdoor show area was a virtual hot
rod carnival. There was a rumor going around that next years show will
not be held in Vegas.
We hope that the rumor was false as Vegas is the only place to really
appreciate this event. To the chagrin of some of our female readers we
still maintain that the after market industry is still a mans world.
Like last years show there is no political correctness here just a lot
of fun...it's VEGAS baby!!!
This years show saw the reemergence of the Corvette as a force to be
reckoned with in the automotive marketplace. If you recall the Corvette
came close to being taken out of production earlier this year. GM had
an eleventh hour change of heart and has decided to place America's
only sports car back at the head of the fleet.
The car that is being pushed as GM's new flagship is the new Corvette
Grand Sport. The Grand Sport is more than just
a sheep in wolf's clothing. The base Corvette has been fitted with
technology and hardware that was reserved
only for its big brother the ZO6. GM is predicting that the GS will
account for more than fifty percent of all future Vette sales. This
according to our sources is a very conservative estimate, the adjusted
sales figures may approach
over eighty percent.
The Camaro was GM's top dog at last years show. The Camaro's presence
was there but without the brouhaha that it had in 2008.
