For all the Atlanta area peeps...
I had given up on the C&O in Atlanta because you had to get there before 6AM to get a good parking spot, so I had been taking the GT to Caffeine and Exotics. But this month, I decided to give C&O another shot given it's new format and venue. Boy, is it very much improved. They have sections for different vehicle types, and I arrived around 7:15 and was about the 5th car in the exotic car section. The section did fill up by the start of the show at 8:00. They have a "show car" section which seems to mean that you cannot leave before a certain time, but didnt appear to have any restrictions. Then they had a special invitation section with some very nice cars that were roped off from the general population. There is also a classic car section, so you dont have to wander around looking for the classics sprinkled in with the other cars. Many car clobs have their own self defined areas, so you see clusters of Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, Focuses (or is it Foci) I heard people saying they had to park on the other side of Perimeter mall and walk over to the show, so I would guess there must be 3000 cars showing or spectating.
Bruce and his team have really outdone themselves with the new format. Below is a video for those who havent been.

Watch for the GT around the 3:42 mark in the video.
