The Gullwing was breathtaking, so much history and design innovation still being copied today.
My contemporary favorites were the BMW R nineT, Ducati Monster, Jaguar F-Type and Bentley Continental GT.
Curious about the RS 1.0 with the black TRD wheels. The upgrade wasn't shown on the Monroney label. Is that a running change? Special edition pricing is getting a little steep at $33K although $1K of that is the absurd head unit, puts it into a whole new competitive segment of fat cars that will be shopped despite all the FR-S goodness.
Had a good conversation with the guys at PRE who claim they have more twin upgrades planned despite selling their FR-S and trying to sell their display BRZ at the show.
Gary Bockman, also in the racing area, told me the story of his record setting run at the Silver State Classic where he and his car owner averaged 207 mph over 90 miles of public roads in Nevada.
Overall, it was the best show in years. Even Porsche coughed up the cash for a display. I guess the economy is doing better for some than others.
