GM autoshow in motion (UPDATED post show)

friday i'm going to another GM autoshow in motion to drive GM cars and competetor cars. i just did it a few weeks ago. if you haven't gone to one before, it's pretty fun. they set up a course with cones and you drive various cars on the course. last time i drove the new GTO, and i was very disappointed. i later drove the civic Si and i caught up to the person infront of me driving a GTO. they cannot handle well at all! i also drove the cadillac CTS-V. friday i'm going to drive the new corvette. it's fun!

----------------------
UPDATE:

Oh man, what a fun show. I drove the civic Si around the track several times, it was the best handling car out there. it drives a lot better than the saturn ion redline. the steering on the redline isn't nearly as precise. i also drove the brand new corvette. very fast! i also drove the hummer, ho-hum.
but the highlight of the show had to be the chevy aveo! it started to pour rain so a lot of drivers left. so i saw that the aveo had no line to wait in. so i jumped right in. 103 horsepower of madness! i was pushing that car into the ground, i had some great slides going on the sweeping corners in that little thing. even after the rain stopped, i had become proficient at driving the aveo at that point. i was able to catch up to a impala SS who had a 15 second head-start. that thing can do front wheel style drifting like no other with those cheap skinny tires. haha, it was so much fun driving that bucket.

all in all, my favorite car was the civic Si. runner ups are the TSX and 325i bmw.

they had the Z51 vette. the 400 hp one. it was pretty friggin' quick. the CTS-V is almost just as fun though. doesn't handle as well and not as fast, but it is fun to do it in a 4-door with 400 hp.

Hmmm....I think I might have to go check this out. Sounds a little like Mazda's Rev it Up Event without the compitition. Time for a little thrashing on other peoples cars.
