2008 SEMA Post Show Part 1

I'm sad to say it but the 2008 SEMA Show is over. But that will not stop us from highlighting some of the events, products, companies, and cars that were there? Hell no!!! This year's show, I would say, was amazing! So many great cars with so little time. With the 2010 Cheverolet Camaro being the official car of SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) this year, many companies used it to show off their brand new and upcoming products. Since GM provided the car, they made sure they came out on top when it came to designing the best one with their version of the 2010 Camaro called the Camaro Black Concept. I think this was the sexiest Camaro by far becuase it had a sick body kit, nice black finish, and rims to match. Some other nice Camaros included the one that was customized for NASCAR Star Dale Earnhardt Jr. and a GS Racecar Concept. Dale's Camaro was a two tone grey and white with an orange pinstripe separating the two colors. It was lowered and tuned to perform the way Dale likes it to. It also was converted to run on E85. The GS Racecar Concept was an electric blue color with yellow lettering and was tuned for racing. The yellow/goldish wheels really set it off which I think is the best part about the car. It looks awesome and I can't wait until they begin racing these beasts.

This video really sums up how much of an impact the Camaros had on SEMA this year:



But enough of the Camaros let's get into the luxury cars, my favorite type of vehicle. As mentioned by my buddie ZR1vette, Hyundai has really been stepping up lately. Obviously there were a couple Hyundai Genesis there but one really appealed to me. It was a DUB edition Hyundai Genesis and it was sick! It didn't even look like a Hyundai when I first saw it. This Genesis was all white with chrome rims and inside of the rims was a color-matching white paint to bring out the wheels a bit. There was also a nice slate color Genesis that was tricked out on the inside with monitors in the headrests and computer capabilites. You could hook up your laptop, check you finances, email, or even facebook.





Just a quick little talk about the green cars of SEMA. I found this video that shows the most impressive green vehicles of SEMA including a 100 mpg, 400 horse power, old school mustang! Its the black one in the video. Check it out:
