SEMA anyone?

Re: SEMA anyone?

FYI, I did a search on SEMA and apparently segments of Attack of the Show on G4TV (ch. 30 on Comcast) will be covering SEMA. Nov. 3 @ 6pm, Nov. 8, Nov. 9, Nov. 10. http://tv.yahoo.com/ to search in your area.

I'm SO tired. I brought the camera to work, but I have a full day. Got told just now I have another presentation, one I've NEVER done and probably shouldn't be doing anyway. Welcome back!!

I'll try to write some thoughts later.

Note to self, get a rental car next time. I walked more in the last two days than I have ever walked.

Mostly WS. 130k people it is REALLY hard to take pictures and get the whole car in the picture without some jacka$$ walking in front of you. I haven't even looked at these yet. Enjoy!!

NOTE: I found some tires for the Nomad. See if you can pick them out.

Saw plenty of skimpy outfits too.

Let me know if you go next year. I usually went about 2 hours before it opened just to take pics of the displays. No crowds! w00t.

World Challenge GT Prototype... 3090 pounds? Stock hp? Weak!

Seriously - how do they make these carbon fiber, aluminum monoquoque 2-seater mid-engined cars weigh so much??

Re: SEMA anyone?

Agreed. Where does the weight come from?

A full-on tube frame GT1 car with a normal 'glass body can easily get under 2500 (no driver, no fuel). Amazing.

Maybe they use really heavy CF?

Re: SEMA anyone?

That wing is so big, the weight could be coming from downforce--even sitting still. OK, that was stupid.

Maybe these guys took a production GT and just slapped graphics and the spoiler on it.... Ford's site doesn't seem to give a curb weight.
