2010 Chevrolet Camaro Synergy Special Edition – Click above for high-res image gallery
The history of the Chevrolet Camaro is littered with bold styling options and even bolder colors. “Bold” doesn’t always equal “good,” but there have been a lot of both since the 1967 introduction of Chevrolet’s original pony car. At SEMA this year, we [...]
Nexen 365/15-24 tire – Click above for image gallery
While in Vegas for SEMA this year, we did our best to concentrate on the cars… and occasionally their hostesses. We deliberately stayed away from the thousands of individual products being introduced in order to spend more time on the cars, trucks, bikes and Snowbarus. Well, maybe [...]

This year’s SEMA show in Las Vegas didn’t have quite the gravitas of years past, as the state of the economy and the automotive industry in particular seemed to be a wet blanket over the whole proceedings. Thank goodness there were plenty of friendly faces [...]
Healing Heroes Network charity raffle Shelby GT500s – Click above for high-res image gallery
In the Ford booth at SEMA this year, we spotted a matching set of 1967 and 2010 Shelby GT500 Mustangs. White with blue stripes, they looked incredible even in the unflattering lighting of Central Hall. The 1967 example is a verified Shelby [...]
2010 Ford SVT Raptor with 6.2-liter V8 – Click above for high-res image gallery
If Ford had only offered the 5.4-liter V8 in the SVT Raptor and called it a day, we doubt anyone would have complained. Just the fact that the Blue Oval even had the guts to build such a vehicle deserves applause. But [...]

Chevrolet decided that it might be fun to have a contest to pick out a new decal pack for its hot new Camaro. They posted six different possible decal sets on Facebook a while back and after letting their online friends vote, the [...]

It’s the first day of the 2009 SEMA Show and we made sure to get up bright and early to bring you the latest and greatest from the show floor here in Las Vegas. Often our week starts with a reminder that there is a [...]
How 2009 is this? Not only are you looking at what we’re 99.99% sure is the brand spankin’ new Chevrolet Camaro Z28, but we got sent the picture via Facebook. Pretty viral (or whatever), right? Also, that Z28 is sitting on the floor at SEMA, and there’s an entire posse of us Autoblog types heading [...]
General Motors is getting ready for SEMA 2009, but the Detroit-based automaker has a little over a week before it can show us anything official in Las Vegas. That isn’t stopping the General from teasing us, though, as this 40-second YouTube clip clearly demonstrates. One of GM’s new tuner specials comes in a box and [...]
Local Motors Rally Fighter –
The wild things have left the movie theaters and are headed toward Las Vegas. Destination? SEMA. Case in point, the Rally Fighter. Local Motors, the company that plans to build the offroadster, is attempting an industry first: dipping into the collective wisdom of the Internet (we’re not sure if “wisdom” [...]
Hennessey Hyundai Genesis Carbon Coupe – Click above for high-res image
John Hennessey is no stranger to extracting power from already quick cars and giving them a unique appearance. More recently, Hennessey has launched a Tuner School to teach others his craft and help keep the SEMA show floor populated with fresh creations.
The 14-week program teaches [...]
2010 Lingenfelter Camaro LTA – Click above for high-res image gallery
Apparently, there are more Trans Am-obsessed Pontiac aficionados in the world than we initially suspected. While we have a major soft spot in our hearts for the old Poncho F-Bodies, we’d never actually go to the trouble of converting a perfectly good 2010 Camaro into [...]
Back when Hyundai launched its Genesis Coupe last spring, the Korean maker announced that it would be adding another variant targeted specifically at the tuner crowd. As this is being written, the 2.0T R-Spec is being shipped to dealers and will have its official coming out next week in Las Vegas at the SEMA show. [...]
When gas prices spiked and automakers began focusing more attention on fuel efficient cars and crossovers, we began wondering if the pickup truck’s best days were behind it. The next big blow came when domestic automakers began postponing or canceling development of light-duty diesel engines for their half-ton trucks. Then, when things were at their [...]
Each year at SEMA, a select group of editors and contributors from the world’s largest automotive publications scour the show floor to hand out prizes for the best hot rod, Japanese import, European import, domestic automobile and SUV. But not the overall Best in Show award. That’ll be handed out by a video game programmer.
Well, [...]
