We had an American car meet here last weekend and traditionally in Sunday, there is cruise through the small city where it takes place to the track, where "US Cars only" drag race takes place. I had an interesting experience, when lined up with Pro Comp dragster - he gave me 4 sec. handicap ... and I still lost.:) Could be blast to drive one, it runs low 8's at best, this day it was low 9's. I run mid 13's.

More pics from cruise:

Wow, that must have been cool. Sorry you lost though. You can feel good about the fact that you get better gas mileage, and don't have to rebuild as much.

WOW! :o Look at all that fine machinery! Looks like you had a great day. Thanx for the pics!
Just wondering, how long of a drive it is from here to there?

My personal favourite from the show, this car sounds awesome.

SSZ28: Michelin routeplanner says that it's 1800 km. and 23 h. drive from your city.

Some more pics, also from people and party - we had two days rock festival and Miss Beauty contest at the same time (wet t-shirt and so on :))

You know what's the worst part ? It's stock V6 ... :roll: Interesting note, the wolf heads he has in front and back are from pure silver.

Did you notice that this is C4 ? It's Ecklers body kit, which was produced very short time and therefore quite rare. I don't care much about styling, but definetly lot of work this "C5 conversion".
