Went to the auto show Friday night and took some pictures. Wasn't too crowded since it was Friday night, and the weather scared some people away too probably. Sorry, I'm a bit partial to Ford.:D

If you all would like to see the rest of the pictures, I set up an album on photobucket. The password is "autoshow".

Login to a private Photobucket.com album (http://s1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd401/ChrisFX4/2012%20Chicago%20Auto%20Show/)


This was also the 20th Anniversary of SVT.

2012 GT500 Dyno Run. Walked in right as they were starting.

I went Saturday. Ford put the 13 gt 500 on the dyno and it was CRAZY. hit 140 in 4th gear!!!

The road tracks were cool. The SRT lines looked awesome, new 3 series from BMW very clean, Cadillac had a great display. But Ford took the cake with the dyno setup.

I personally feel like Ford had the best display this year. Every other one just seemed really open and vacant I guess.

Did they actually put the 2013 GT500 up on there or was it still the 2012?

Oh the back end of the red Lexus in Chris's pictures is my favorite. Tri-exhaust output looks like a rocket. Very appealing. Mustang gt 500 may be best car built (performance) in mustang line.

Correction the 12. Insane. Comes out mid summer. Had a professional driver from Miller Racing dyno it.

Thanks for posting Chris. The new Fusion grille reminds me of an Aston Martin.

Don't know, we got our tickets for free. The website is showing $11 though. Parking was $14 at a lot at 31st and Moe Drive.

Isn't that a 2012? The videos I found from Saturday still show a 2012 on there.
