Default 2019 ZR1 At The Toronto Auto Show?

Haven't been to one for quite some time. I am thinking of going if the new ZR1 is there? What is you best guess?

While on this topic I have a question if anyone knows now or can advise the first day of the show. Will GM have screens allowing you to enter your info and they send a coupon for a discount off an MY2018 product. I've seen this in the past number of shows locally here in Edmonton where GM provided up to $1K off a car purchase. Our show isnt until April. If so looking to see if someone could enter our info so a coupon would get generated for us....

thanks
I'm going to the auto show so if you find out you can, I'll be glad to help you out

FYI folks. For those of us without press passes or inside connections, tickets at the door are $24 this year. Somewhere, there is a $5 off coupon but I haven't seen that yet. Purchase online at 10% discount.

Of course, there is the Super Tuesday (Feb 20) when all the kids show up. Tickets are $14 at the door only for that day.

However, if you are a CAA Member, you can purchase tickets for $16 each and can be used on any day of the show.

Another tip, the past few years I have gone with my son first thing in the morning on Sunday. They advertise that the doors open at 10:30 but they actually start letting people in at 10. And if you show up at this time you can fly through the show pretty quickly before the bulk of the crowds gets there.

Such a cool looking car but it sure needs to be lowered! I could probably fit my head in that gap in the rear wheels!

Annoying they have it fenced off like that. I'll be heading over this week.

That's why I went first thing in the morning on Sunday, it was still busy, but it wasn't as crazy from 10-12 as it was from 12:00 on. It wasn't hard to get seat time in any of the cars during the first couple of hours.

We went on the holiday Monday and it truly was awful...the amount of people was overwhelming. Got to see the exotics on the lower level and almost lost my 8 yr old son...could not physically manoeuvre and we left shortly thereafter...next year I'll be going during the week and letting the kids get off of school. Didn't get to see the ZR1 but did see the Callaways.

Went today. Got there at 10 and finished by 3. Lots of seat time in cars and trucks we wanted, lots of room to move around, not a lot of people, but the show was a bit under whelming. All the cars worth seeing are behind barriers which sucks.

Nice to see Alan and Paula at the Auto Show today.

Kinda dorky looking but I did the Bullitt Mustang VR experience. The guy that was running my camera had a "Action! timing" issue.

I went for the "Bullitt" poster today. They made me cover the "Corvette Racing" on my jacket!

Hope one of these (or four) doesn't come for this car.
