Due to the overwhelming interest in my monday’s post 2008 SEMA Show Girls Pictures I I have decided to post part II a little early to help you get through the week
The SEMA Show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world and IS NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. But don’t worry about that minor detail, I plan on taking more photos than I ever have at any event so far in 2008 so that you can see all that was showcased and ready for 2009.
Album 1 of 7 - Performance World Custom Car & Truck Show 2008, Toronto, Ontario, Canada [114 Photos], Modified BMW M3, Hummer H1, NSX, Nissan Skyline R32, R34..
You will notice, there are a tonne of photos with the lights in the event turned on, I stuck around for a while after last call and dodged security guard after security guard until 45 minutes later 2 of them cornered me and literally walked me out of the show.
The 2008 DUB Show Tour is about to kick off, so that means it’s time get out of your winter hibernation mode and get ready for some major tits, ass and modified rides! I will be heading down to Detroit’s Cobo Hall Saturday March 29th to cover the event, babes, modified rides, dubs, tits and ass included.
The Saleen S5S Raptor made its world debut at the New York Auto Show, putting an exclamation point on the specialty manufacturer’s recent reinvention of itself.
MotorTrend serves up a quick video of a straight line drag race between the Corvette ZR1 (638hp), Ferrari 599 GTB (612hp), Nissan GT-R (480hp), Porsche 911 GT2 (530hp).
Here is great video from Fifth Gear with guest 24 Year old Brazilian Bruno Senna (Ayrton Senna’s Nephew) who test drives the Nissan GT-R vs Porsche 911 Turbo.
Can you guess which car is 0.5 seconds faster around the track? UNREAL!
