Camaros
Posted by admin on Nov 8, 2008
The Chevrolet Camaro may be the “official” vehicle of SEMA, but you can’t walk more than a few feet without tripping over the Pentastar’s new pony car. The Dodge Challenger is a ubiquitous presence on the floor this year, only matched by the number of mediocre booth babes and the appropriately cheap parts they’re paid to shill.
With so many Challengers lining the halls, it’s almost impossible to get the details on each coupe, but we’ve assembled a list of our favorites, ranging from Mopar’s own offerings to the mom-and-pop shops that have made the Challenger the un-official muscle car of SEMA.

Galpin Scythe Concept
Posted by admin on Nov 8, 2008
Standing out among the conservatively-styled vehicles at the Ford booth is the Galpin Scythe Concept that we spotted a few months ago while it was being built. We had the chance to sit down with Beau Boeckmann, president of Galpin Auto Sports, who filled us in on the details on the Scythe and how it as built.

Cadillac-Powered VRS
Posted by admin on Nov 8, 2008
Probably everything on this car except the fuel filler cap is custom or has been customized. A how-low-can-you-go custom-designed fiberglass body wraps itself around a 6.0-liter, 400 hp Cadillac engine. The engine cover runs from that hot-rod nose all the way to the bulkhead and then continues in one sweep to form the center console. The console works much like your phone, going dark when not in use and lighting up again when you touch it. And yes, that’s an iPhone slotted in there. And at the corners are 20-inchers up front and 22-inchers out back suspended by aircraft strut suspension arms and wearing six-pot calipers front and rear.
