Great pictures! I love that green Lambo twin turbo... absolutely sick. How does the Camaro look in person?

So how has it compared to past few years? My boss told me this morning via cell from Vegas that they're down 600 booths compared to last year.

Awesome pics, thanks for those. I've been to SEMA 3 years in a row, and after that last year (2 years ago) I got the feeling that there would be nothing new worth the trip and footache. I think I'll wait another year or two until i should go again to see a collective amount of new stuff. If you have never gone, its defintely worth it, just do yourself a favor and buy some comfortable shoes.

Quote:

The engine was sourced from Acura — it's the same mill found in the TL Type S, albeit turbocharged — and mated to a six-speed gearbox. The car will set you back $150,000, and if 450 ponies isn't enough, another $100 grand will get you a tweaked version with another 150 horsepower.

interesting.... 450hp and 600hp.... O.o on a tl j35

I like the models in front of the G37 and the S13 with the humongous snail. The lime green Gallardo TT was nucking futs though! So shiny..... Heffner Performance I assume? I know Heffner has a Ford GT TT and a Gallardo, is that the one?

They're show cars. It almost doesn't even matter, since 98% of them are never tracked, at least not often.

I just got back last night, came back two days early. It was absolutely dead up there. I usually have a full week of business and was able to squeeze it into 2.5 days!!!!
