Love to see some exotic cars but heard they are scaling back a little this year due to COVID
Can anyone tell me when the cars arrive and when they leave so I might get to see them on the street?
Thinking they might set up on friday since there are over 600 cars in the show

650 cars doesn't seem scaled back. Get there early to find parking -should be quite the show!

Buy your tickets online too

I love cars myself, BUT the fun thing is that these American modern muscle cars if you slap a super charger on them and some mods they can be made as fast as a Porsche, nearly as fast as a Lambo, etc and thousands less.

The new C8 Corvette stock I've seen 0-60 runs of 2.6 seconds. I'm wondering what the 2022 C8 Z06 and ZR1 will be like. It will get to the point you can't even use all that power when you launch.

Look at the Hellcat and the ZL1. People are wrecking those cause they can't control the power.

Unless I had multi millions I just don't see myself buying those exotic cars. In addition I'd be worried about parking it anywhere or someone hitting it. If I have a car I have it to DRIVE. That's why I love my Camaro SS.

When we spent winters in Naples, 2005 to 2012, we would always hit the Cars on 5th show...
It was maybe a $5 get in/donation?

We would get there early, as in early door busters: most were not up or there yet, and one could walk around and see the cars/take pics of the rarities without dozens huddled around each car.

If we had company that weekend, most enjoyed it also, esp if fellow car enthusiasts...

On line and Tix to 'get in'? Times have changed.
Enjoy it, and GL, mD

It's $30 now per ticket. They're trying to scale back the crowd due to covid.

You're welcome! Even before covid the city of Naples wanted the event to have a lot less people there due to the crowds becoming overwhelming. You could barely move on the street the people were so packed together.

In the past a donation was requested, not necessary. They started charging to bring the crowds down.

I love cars, BUT hate looking at cars like that because I could never be able to afford them!
