Default Houston Corvette show

Did anyone on the board have their Z06 on display at the Corvette show in Houston last weekend?

I took a bunch of pictures and saw some pretty cool looking cars.

I just bought my 2003 Z06 3 weeks ago and went to the show to get some ideas on some mods for my car which is still stock. Your right, there were some awesome vettes both old and new. I liked the magna superer charged C5's probably the best and maybe someday will get MTI to put one on for me. The car stock is all over the road in 1st-3rd gear; can hardly imagine what an additional 130HP will do to that bad boy. How about posting some of you pics? Thanks :chevy

Yes, that was one of the SC C5's. I talked with her and her husband at length. Nice people and a very nice cars. The other nice SC car was a Blue C5 at the MTI booth which was one of their customers cars. From what I've been reading and talking to people about these Magna chargers I'm hearing that they are very reliable and can be driven daily, in traffic or cruising with no problems. Then if happen to pull up to a light next to a Viper or Porshe 911 Turbo and get into it, there is one very surprised Viper or Porsche ower watching you leave them in the dust. Must be nice. Thanks for the pics. :chevy
