GT500....didn't see it but I hate those cars like vette, SSR, GT500, etc... where people just go to the dealership, write a fat check for a brand new car, leave it stock, throw it in a show and walk away with big awards. ESPECIALLY best of show. imho if you have a new vehicle it needs at least a couple mods to qualify for an award. Classics are something completely different of course.
Went to one a few weeks ago and two of the top awards went to a bone stock 2007 ferrari.

I guess opinions about what makes a show car a show car are wide ranging. IMO I would much rather see a nice ultra clean "newer" RARE car such as a Z06 or GT500 than a bunch of cheaply modded common cars. I for one don't think stickers, a CD player and window tint make a show car (but some colored wire loom on it and thats a different story!) And as far as that goes what defines a "Classic"...I wouldnt say its age. Is a Pacer a classic? I say its the cars rleative raritiy and desiability...so IMO a GT500 is a Mondern Classic.

Its one of only 302 WS6 M6 cars made in Sunset Orange Matalic. To give you a comparision they made 2500 of the yellow and black Collectors Editons and you know how rare it is to see one of them.
Is a Pacer a classic?

cost is one Rize part per show information.
Nah, most info comes from the shows. people talking about the next one, etc...
Most expensive one was $35 and the cheapest one was free. havn't been to alot of them though. But, that seems pretty standard. A lot depends on the "freebies" dashplaques, t-shirts, etc...

If he will meet in the middle I am sure I will own it by next weekend.
