SEMA Show 2012

So, found a link to Top Gears SEMA 2012 overview and gallery. Some pretty slick looking stuff at this years show.

You can check out that article and gallery here.

My personal favorites were the Tanner Foust Focus ST, the Dodge Challenger Daytona, and SEMA's "Best In Show" winner, the Mach Forty. You can read that article for more info on it. Before you come back and post, yes I know that the award he's being presented with is not from SEMA but Top Gear listed it as their favorite pick and thats as near as makes no difference to Best in Show if you ask me.

The Mach Forty is amalgamation of two of the worlds greatest american muscle cars. A '69 Ford Mustang Mach 1 and a '06 Ford GT. Its truly a beauty to behold and if it goes half as well as it looks, I can say that it would be money well spent in my book. Much rather have something like that than a cookie cutter super car any day of the week. I'll leave you with some pictures of the Mach Forty, in case you don't have time to go check out the story on it.

On an unrelated note, but still from SEMA 2012;

Do you think T10 and PG will ever let me do the following to a dodge ram in Horizon?




Cause OMG THAT IS SICK NASTY!

From the Truck Tend article, about half way or so down;

2010 Dodge Ram Mega Cab Dually by Truxedo
For sheer road presence, it's hard to beat a dually, so to make a big statement with its SEMA show vehicle, that's what TruXedo chose to showcase its latest offerings. Starting with the limousine-like Mega Cab model, the company slammed down the big bruiser on a Firestone air-ride suspension featuring Art Busche design bags, pumped up by Viair compressors and controlled by a Dakota Digital controller. The truck rolls hard on 285/40-24 Toyo Proxes ST tires on American Racing wheels.

But the upgrades go further than mere cosmetics. Underhood, the Cummins diesel engine is fortified with an H&S performance intake manifold, 5-inch turbo-back exhaust, and Mini Max programmer, a Snow Performance water-methanol injection system, and an S&B filters cold air intake. Exterior highlights include a TruXedo tonneau, paint and graphics by Art Busche Designs, Racemesh grilles, and Retro Shop HID headlights. The interior is finished off with Roadwire leather seats covered in Alcantara suede.

Might not be practical and it might not do the dirt well anymore but that Dodge Ram Dually just looks plain sick, and I need one!

*drool* that, would be amazing to have in game... Or even, air ride suspension so that when you slow way down, your ride just drops... I would only use it in cruises, but it would still be cool!

DANG they did that Dodge Ram dirty didn't they, he is looking beastly and so is that Mach Forty, well done by the owners

I really gotta spend some time gazing at those SEMA pages...

Wow! That Mach Forty is just beautiful!
