Chevrolet pulled out all the stops at the 2012 SEMA show, with Camaro concepts of all descriptions, the last 2012 COPO, and a bunch of performance packages and parts on display.
One of the booths that attracted our attention for a couple of reasons was Dakota Digital. Their VHX gauges are incredible, especially when they’re wrapped in a custom ’71 Camaro named “The ProfeSSor”.
We rounded up some of our favorite LS-powered cars that we found at this year’s SEMA show. They vary from the tame to the extreme, and we gathered them all together for your viewing pleasure. We don’t want to spoil what we have for you, so you’re just going to have to click the link.
We got to see this work in progress at the 2012 SEMA show, courtesy of Turbonetics, who are helping turn the stock LS3 between the fenders of this 1966 Nova station wagon into an 850 horsepower fear generator.
Instead of a twin turbo big block like his previous ’63, this one gets motivation in the form of a beefed-up supercharged LS9 powerplant sourced from a C6 ZR1, making north of 800 horsepower.
At a show where the vehicles on display range from “awe-inspiring” to “eyesore” and every spot in between, we’d have to say that this classic Corvette reborn with state-of-the-art running gear is subtle enough to keep Y-body purists happy while still being unique and modern.
The last 2012 COPO Camaro debuted today at the SEMA Show, in Las Vegas, and it’s headed to the auction block. Chevrolet will sell the Inferno Orange Metallic convertible race car at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, in January, to benefit the American Heart Association
The whole Power Automedia team is on the ground in beautiful, elegant Las Vegas, Nevada for the 2012 SEMA show, and we will be bringing you highlights and videos all week long as we prowl the miles of aisles here at the convention center. Today was move-in day, and we got a chance to sneak onto the show floor…
A few weeks ago, we told you about the D3 CTS-V that was getting the wide-body treatment for display at this year’s SEMA show. Well, here it is kiddies, in completed form and all its beastly glory. Please allow us to introduce you to “Le Monstre,” centerpiece of the Toyo Tires booth.
Jonathan Ward of Icon calls it a “derelict rod.” A twist on the classic beater hot rod, a derelict takes a rusty, crusty car, strips it down and builds it back up, with all the amenities and performance of a modern supercar, with the exception of the exterior. No paint, no body work, just the original patina.
LS engines have a strong following in today’s street rod market but many enthusiasts don’t care for the exposed coil packs or flat sided valve covers. Billet Specialties addressed those issues with their new line of billet aluminum valve covers to the delight of the SEMA crowd.
Owned by the host of our favorite guilty pleasure TV show, “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives,” Guy Fieri, which is pretty cool in and of itself, but is was the fact that to the untrained eye, this Bumblebee-styled soft top could drive past you on the street and you wouldn’t give it a second glance.
For 35 years, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering has been a top name in the performance industry, and at the 2011 SEMA show, they unveiled their latest plans to take two awesome GM products- the 5th Gen Camaro and the LS series engines – and make them even better with the Lingenfelter treatment…
