The Sema Show is not only the premier spot for the latest and greatest parts from the automotive aftermarket, it’s also THE place to see the years baddest show cars. And amazing number of magazine feature cars and trucks make their debut at the SEMA Show each year. The cool thing about SEMA is that you have direct access to the cars and can check out all the details up close and personal. For 2010, SEMA is giving us a preview of some of the cool cars, trucks, and race cars that you’ll find throughout the halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center. We’ve picked a few of our favorites, and promise to let you know if they are BangShift approved once we see them in person next week.
Make no mistake, this is just the tip of the proverbial iceburg of cars that will be at the show for 2010. In fact, it wouldn’t be SEMA if some car isn’t getting painted or an engine installed as you read this. And yes, there are only 4 days until the show starts. If you aren’t mid thrash a week before SEMA, your car probably wasn’t invited.
Here are our BangShift picks from Steve Campbell’s Preview of Automotive Excellence at SEMA.org.
