Default St. Louis Auto show

I went to the St. Louis Auto show this weekend. I saw some pretty neat cars.

Ford had a talking robot that remembered peoples names, i.e. when you went up to it it would ask your name. After you said it, you could leave then go back to it several minutes later and it would say it remembers you then state your name.

2010 mustang looked kinda cool. It had the retro 2005 mustang look to it with a little aggressive styling. In contrast to the mustang, Chevy had a 2010 Camaro Black edition at the show. The car was completely blacked out (duh); it had a flat black hood and black/gunmetal wheels.

THE BEST VEHICLE OF ALL WAS THE CORVETTE ZR1 - it had 638 hp with 335 series tires in the back. The small downside to the car was the sticker price of $115,000. I dunno if I could every pay $115,000 for a any car.

FYI - Chevy had a black impala SS - I guess it is the only LS4 vehicle left in their line.

A friend of mine went this weekend as well. He brought back pictures of the ZR1, what an awesome car. I would so trade the GTO straight up for one, no questions asked, I'll even throw in an extra set of floor mats.
