Power Tour 2006: Recap

[BigAls87Z28]

Well, it was a fun day. Lots of nice cars, some very rare (such as the Tucker with the twin turbo's), Camaro Concept, LS7 Solstice, LS7 4th Gen Camaro, LS7 GTO, Open Air Cobalt and HHR, the copper orange Solstice, to all the long haulers that came up through Florida, including Paul and his sexy IROC.
It didnt start out that fun, as I got pulled over driving up there with the licence thing.

[camaro2you]

damn those cars make me feel like i could of done better on the 86. lol

[heavy_chevy29]

i would have to say that the power kicked ass. there was like 3000+ cars there. so many nice cars to look at.

that made my night, to be able to drive my car with the same cars that i have drooled over in hot rod magizine. it was so awsome. and let me be the first to tell you that they are not all show no go. those guys were beating the living **** out of those car. that looked and sounded sick as hell.

The Mule. This is the prototype pro-touring car. This is the influence on the black one.

[misterjuice]

seems kinda blah to me................i guess i'm just not into cars like I used to be. Somehow, the idea of walking around all day looking at cars you couldn't have.........is just not appealing....at least not to me.

[35thls1ss19]

WTF Thats the EXACT hood i've been looking for, damnit
yea he is on ls1tech... vgls1 or somthin like that, its a carbon fiber hood.... i want those wheels. ccw 505a $$$

[12secondv6]

I've got about 300 or so pictures... I'll ask the woman to upload them all...... it was wicked!

I've been to car shows...... this was just plain insane!

And that POS green nova that went 10.0!!!! WOW what a sleeper!

[qwikz28]

i'll have pics up in a little bit. wireless is slowww

[HardcoreZ28]

Yeah Power Tour was awesome. Anyone that's into the car culture needs to Long Haul next year. It was the best comrodery I'd ever experienced in my life. I had a blast. It's going to be a while before I can get my pics up but they aren't all that great. Next year the tour starts in Ohio and ends in Little Rock, Arkansas. My buddy and I are planning something big for our Long Haul vehicle already.

We talked to this guy in PA. He is 76, lives in KC and did the whole tour. I liked almost nothing about the car but loved talking to him!

[BigAls87Z28]

The guy with the POS Green nova had twin D1 superchargers.

[qwikz28]

paul- i thought next year tour started in Englishtown?

noah- thats a harwood 2" hood. search it up on ls1tech or PM me i think i have some info on it, i was planning on getting it myself :)

[BigAls87Z28]

Yeah, I thought it would just start in Etown? Go strait out on 80 to middle of PA, and make its way to Detroit for the finale!!

[BonzoHansen]

Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njcnmhV91YA) is a news story about the Hot Rod Power Tour. It was on Fox News yesterday morning (where do they find these morning new people - most annoying people on earth). They keep calling it a 68 Camaro! :roll: It is a 1969 Camaro, of course (unless you want to get into the whole new car/shell thing).

[Ian]

those anchors sucked!

[qwikz28]

finally pics are up...

nope its not to be... apparently Englishtown has something goin on that weekend and cant host the opening next year... the new list is on hotrod.com

That really blows... but Im glad I made it to the show this year... it was nuts.
