Talking 4th of July represented by vehicles

Happy 4th of July everyone! I'm proud to be an American, and thankful for all those who have sacrificed it all for our country to be what it is today. Here are some photos of my American Iron, I spent several hours cleaning them up for a group photo this morning.



















Vehicles:
2011 Camaro SS convertible (supercharged)
2010 Camaro SS coupe (supercharged)
2009 Cadillac CTS-V (supercharged)
2009 Corvette Z06 (supercharged)
2006 Viper coupe (supercharged)
2006 Ram 3500 (turbocharged)
1970 Chevelle SS 454
1969 Camaro SS 350 convertible

Tony

That is like asking a parent which kid he likes better. haha. I like them all, for different reasons. Some are sentimental, a few are childhood dreamcars, some are more exciting to drive, one of them tows well.

My picks would be the CTS-V or the Chevelle. I really like the cyber grey after seeing GMs top 3 vehicles (IMO) side by side.

The Camaro and Z06 are both Cyber Gray Metallic, but the CTS-V is Thunder Gray Chromaflair. Cyber Gray has a blue metallic flake, Thunder Gray has a green metallic flake and does more color-shifting. Cyber gray is a hint darker.

I am a big Camaro fan but I would take the Chevelle first and the Vette second. Then it wouldnt matter to me after that.

Son of a B**** all I can say is WOW. And I assume you like to play 9-ball huh? Not sure that I know you from any pool rooms but I play all over TX and have family in your area and have spent lots of hours in Bogeys and several other halls in the Houston TX area. I guess if I pull in and see one of those cars I will know you are there. Nice to see someone doing so well with their toys. They all look super clean. I really liked the HOSS that you used to have too.

what an amazing collection , you are so fortunate to have all those car. And also with that sweet collection you have some money tied up , ever think of selling a few and buying like a lambo or ferrari or something in the 200k range .

I think id rather do like you do have a bunch of vehicles . Whats the hp specs on the newer ones at the wheel of course.
