Nice pics, needs more trucks and sluts though Gotta love the ol Cessna, I practically grew up in one of those.

I love that red new/old Shelby, but I wonder how many will click on this thread and not know what vapor lock means?

I went last year and it is a great show. Too much to take in in one trip really. Last year the Challenger and the GTR were the over done cars of the show. I figured the Camaro would be it this year. Any company with a set of 20's and an air ride suspension for sale was using the Challenger as a demo last year so I bet they used Camaros this year. Did you see the Pagani Zonda at the Pirelli booth? I bet it was awsome.

Quoted: I love that red new/old Shelby, but I wonder how many will click on this thread and not know what vapor lock means? The only car that has ever vapor locked on me was a turbo Bentley sedan. I kid you not. Nothing like pushing a 5000lb+ car. Quoted: Nice pics, needs more trucks and sluts though Gotta love the ol Cessna, I practically grew up in one of those. Most of the girls were 50 footers if you know what I mean. Some were very attractive. Some of the most attractive ones were actually SMEs - such as one woman at the GM display that really knew the Camaro inside and out. The Forza Motorsport 3 models were a little too chubby and wearing clothes that were a little too tight. I don't mean chubby by model standards, I mean chubby by anyone's standards. I tried to not look at the Hankook girls, since they were basically naked. |

Lexus LFA looks like its going to be interesting...Magazines say Lexus might charge 400K for it though.

Did you get any pics of that abomination of a ZR2 rebuild GM is throwing around? I heard it as a 550 HP supercharged V8 in it, but I was curious if it had anything suspension-wise to compete with the Ford SVT Raptor.
|

You aint' kidding about the new Camaros. They are all over the place, like damn flys
|
|
wow, a XJ220!! fricken awesome pics need some of the Hankook girls |

Skyline and the little yellow Fiat(?) please...............................

Is that a '10 style Trans Am behind the Vette? If so MAJOR fail for not getting/posting a pic of that!!!!!!!!
|
|
I remember doing that trade show worked for a few big manufacturers awhile ago. The after parties were the best.
|
|
THIS is why I quit going to car shows 30+ years ago - makes me sad. I am so inadequate.

I saw it, but didn't get any pics - too many people standing around it. It was definitely lifted - higher than the Raptor - and it had an engine that was labeled "LSA". Quoted: http://www.545ar.com/semafactoryfive.jpg Not a vette, uses vette motor and porsche transaxle mounted in mid-engine configuration, and vette suspension. I helped a guy I know do the engine wiring on the one he built. Well, my point was that it uses a Corvette donor car. |

Nice pics man, I'm definitely going to SEMA one of these days.

I don't get the matte black paint thing. On a beater truck, I could understand it. On a car someone pays $XX,XXX.XX on, I don't get it.

i hope the end version on those humvee wheels has an outer shell or they won't be practical for over 5mph driving. your tire/wheel balance would be FUBAR unless your driving on paved roads. those waffle holes would get caked with debris like snow, mud, clay, etc and the damn wheels would probably fall off or @ least vibrate the hell out of the suspension components.

I would have stayed in line to get Foose's signature. That guy is amazing.

Quoted: I would have stayed in line to get Foose's signature. That guy is amazing. Thing is, I spent 2 days there and saw maybe 60% of what was at the show. I only talked in depth with maybe 5 or 6 vendors. I didn't feel that I had the time to wait in line for an autograph. Especially that line - it was insanely long. Quoted: Was there anything from Nobel? Thanks for posting. Probably, but I didn't see them. Just too much to look at. |

Just flew back from Vegas. I'm very tired, but here are a few pictures. My favorite product was the company developing fancy honeycomb-like wheels for Humvees. I think those might save some lives if they will allow guys caught in an ambush to push through the kill zone. New wheels for up-armored Humvees? From talking to one of the reps, impressive results so far. http://www.545ar.com/semahumveehoneycomb.jpg Not an up-armored HMMWV though. Those are the 1st gen armored doors, X doors, don't offer too much protection. No bottom (rocker panel) protection at all. Old ambulance roof. Probably an older HMMWV. Quoted:

Exactly. I'd like to see how those hold up once they get muddy. Are they set to flex for an equivalent psi? As in, it gives just as much as if it were at X psi? Would that be adjustable? Might not be practical for those that offroad for a hobby. You'll air down quite a bit to traverse obstacles, but want higher psi for driving on paved roads, would these new wheels be able to do this somehow? Quoted:
4x4 pics... More 4 door Rubicons than you could shake a stick at. I don't know what "TOVO TIRES" is though. http://www.545ar.com/semarampage.jpg Toyo Tires. |

I've spent more time in M1114s than I have on Arfcom, I know what they are - I was talking about their intended purpose. Not many M1114s used in true off road situations, either - until MRAPs are the norm, this product could make a big difference IMO. But what do I know, I've only trained to change tires on an M1114 with the efficiency, if not the speed, of a NASCAR pit crew member - and had to use that training when the SHTF... Also, try looking at the Jeep picture closely and get back to me... I was being sarcastic. Thanks for playing. |

Quoted: http://www.545ar.com/semalfa.jpg Any information about the paint job / finish on this car? Kind of has a flat or mat look to it. Interesting. A lot of vehicles done like this aren't painted yet they do it in a "wrap". Cheaper and can be changed very easily. |

4x4 pics... There were lots of potential BOVs there. The Turtle, based on an F-550, was certainly the most luxurious, but didn't seem to sacrifice performance. http://www.545ar.com/sematurtle.jpg Anyone know what tires those are? Michelein XML's. |
