Caffeine and Octane Atlanta

[mavisky]

Made it out after weathering a little early morning rain. Rain kept threatening to cut loose again so only made it to the main lot. This event draws hundreds of cars and may well clear 1,000. Attached a few of the photos that may interest you folk. Not to sound jaded, but at these events a bone stock Ferrari or Lamborghini is almost boring and not really picture worthy.

Made it on site about 6:15 this morning and nabbed a spot near a couple other GT500's, some of who browse this sight. In this image you're seeing about 1/6th of the total cars at this event at best.

Mustangs everywhere. No other make and model had this kind of turnout.

A couple nice cobra replicas

Panoz Esperante

Custom Challenger convertible

Another challenger sporting possibly the widest wheel lip I've ever seen in my life.

Some sort of crazy LS powered track ready kit car

TopSpeed built widebody twin turbo Audi R8 V10

Military hardware

More GT500 goodness

 

[Shhhh]

Cool pictures! I've never been in town for one of these unfortunately.

That kit car kind of looks like an Ultima but im not totally sure. They always seen to have a really nice group of cars at this event.

I was there incognito with the family from about 8:30-10. What an amazing event, I've never seen that variety of cool cars in one place before. One of the Lambo's cranked up and did a bunch of revs when we were close by. :bowdown:

 

[mavisky]

We were in the same large lot as him (black Murcielago was the one reving most the day) and over by the big trailer with detail products.

Wow that looks like an awesome turnout! Very cool.

Looks like a good turnout. I didn't go since the roads were all wet down here. They need to find a bigger location again. 6:15 is almost to late to get there if the weather is good.

Today was actually a little down on cars due to the weather. Next time I'll go and try to get a panoramic shot or something.

Here's the header shot from their website showing the main lot. The problem is that there really isn't a tall vantage point to get a good overview from easily.

Agreed. I got there at 6:15 today to get into the main lot in a good spot. I drove there through the rain and had to give the car a final wipe down once the rain finally quit, but by 9:45 you could have parked about anywhere as most of the people who'd been there since 6 were making their way home.

My God... that R8. That looks amazing

 

[USNjocson]

So yeah, I'll take the R8 and that military truck plz

Was a good time, I was there with a friend and his dad. That track car is an Ultima GTR, has a warmed over LS1.


Some kid kept revving his 5.0 every 10min- He didnt get that being loud doesnt mean sounding good!

Just found it - Race Car Replicas is the manufacturer. It's their superlite coupe.

I don't know that I heard the 5.0 kid over the LS powered 240 drift car parked near us.

Was that the blue one that the kid was working on all morning?

The challenger vert was well done- I pointed them out and asked my buddy and his dad "whats wrong with this picture?" Neither got it, beyond the wide body on the white one. it even looked like it had a proper top/mechanism

 

[Torchy]

That military set-up was awesome!

Yes that one who was apparently working on his steering knuckles and decided the best way to test them was to rev his nearly mufflerless exhaust to redline a few times every half hour.

Yea I did a double take on the vert as it wasn't but a week or two that my dad were sitting around (he's got an 04 gt vert) discussing the challenger and saying that it seemed odd that Dodge didn't do a convertible version to match the Mustang and Camaro.

 

[CobraHuck]

Man, I really need to get out to this sometime. I wish it wasn't so early, considering I live a good ways away. Doesn't help that I'm always up real late Saturday nights lol

 

[CobraBob]

Very nice photos. I never get tired of viewing Cars & Coffee and Caffeine & Octane event photos. Some awesome vehicles in that bunch!

 

[Zemedici]

I was there with the fiancee but we were exhausted so just kinda rushed through, I was in my buddies truck -next month I'll bring the cobra
