Greener LS3 Crate Engine Into 1955 Chevy

Greener LS3 Crate Engine Into 1955 Chevy

Since yesterday’s Ford street rod was so well received, I think it’s time to give Chevy their due. The General Motors division, in addition to bringing along a raft of custom Camaros to this year’s SEMA show, also produced along a rather tastefully done up 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air with an attractively finished LS3 crate [...]

Ford EcoBoost 1934 Hot Rod At SEMA

Ford EcoBoost 1934 Hot Rod At SEMA

Dropping a new mill into and old car has been going on since the new models first started rolling out more than a hundred years ago. Shoot, that’s what made the hot rod craze what it is when it started back in the 1950s. But here’s a modern take on the hot rod, literally. [...]

SEMA 2008: Dodge brings a Viper powered Challenger

SEMA 2008: Dodge brings a Viper powered Challenger

“Dodge Challenger SRT10″.
Got a helluva nice ring to it, dontcha think?
The current top-o-the-line Challenger, the SRT8, is a pretty beastly muscle car, one that delivered more than its rabid fans had expected. Quite frankly, its performance statistics are more than enough.
Dodge’s high octane SRT team apparently didn’t think so. I bet what happened is one [...]

Best New Car Care Product of 2008

Best New Car Care Product of 2008

Among all of the aftermarket parts and electronics at SEMA, there were plenty of new car care products on display. It’s easy to walk by them in the same way you would at the local auto parts store since most of them look the same, and as far as most of us are concerned, produce [...]

SEMA 2008: Nissan GT-R Heaven

SEMA 2008: Nissan GT-R Heaven

The new Chevy Camaro was the Official SEMA 2008 car, but based on the amount of Nissan GT-Rs there, I’d say the GT-R was the winner. Every other booth seemed to have their own version of a tuned GT-R. We got pictures of most of them, take a look below for the gallery:

SEMA 2008: Lamborghini Gallardo Twin-Turbo

SEMA 2008: Lamborghini Gallardo Twin-Turbo

Underground Racing showed off their Lamborghini Gallardo Twin Turbo at SEMA 2008. Being one of the fastest Gallardos in the world, this Lambo has a quarter-mile time of only 9.9 seconds at 161.8 MPH.
Upgrades to the Gallardo include twin billet turbos, forged pistons, Penske suspension, K&N air filter, HRE wheels, air/water intercooler, among more things. [...]

SEMA 2008: Ugliest Mustang Ever?

SEMA 2008: Ugliest Mustang Ever?

You know, when a living, breathing, thinking human being does this to a car, any car, it gets me wondering how we as a species ever managed to dominate the little planet called Earth.
It gets even worse when I realize that said moron has committed a crime of this magnitude to a Mustang….
Sigh.
