Here is the Magnaflow Exhaust 2011 Camaro SS that received the seal of approval from Mario Andretti and sat inside the Magnaflow booth all week. Now Formula Drift champion Sam Hubinette is going to take the car out to Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch to compete in the Optima Battery Street Car Challenge with other similar built vehicles. Normally we see Sam wheeling a Dodge in just about everything he does but this time he is driving a bow tie in competition. We will see how he manages the Camaro and we assume it will be one of the last times we see him not driving under the Dodge banner.

We have three builds rolling out to the 2011 SEMA Show this year and here a preview of them. We are bringing three vehicles out to the show all in part of the launch for our new website. The first one is the 2012 Hyundai Veloster above we built with our parent company as a Universal Technical Institute Race Support vehicle with Snap-On Tools and Mechanix Wear gloves. We imported a ton of parts from Korea, slammed it with KW Suspension, and built out an awesome interior while keeping a great street build.

1. 2012 Hyundai Veloster – Hyundai Booth (#24387) 

The second car we are bringing to SEMA you might recognize as our Wrecked Magazine Project V8 240sx. The car this week has jumped way ahead of our blog posts as you can see (they will be updated here after we recover from SEMA) and we cannot wait to wheel it into the Kenda Tire booth at SEMA. Our LS3 crate engine from GMPP is all setup in the 240sx with fuel coming from Aeromotive and cooling from Mishimoto. A huge suspension overall from ISIS and APEX’i has the car setup in competition form. Some fresh paint from Dupont, a new widebody kit, and some Enkei RPF1 wheels complete this awesome S13.

2. 1991 Wrecked Magazine Project V8 240sx - Kenda Tire (#40017) 

This is the old Jeff Jones Formula Drift Mazda Rx-7 that we have been working on tirelessly this week. The car looks insane with a new body kit and a 2JZ engine swap. We will have much more of an update on how things went down with this car on our new website Fuelculture coming up. The car has tons of great sponsors and some insane looking gaudiness that takes this car straight out of the Middle East.

3. 1993 Mazda Rx-7 R1 – Konig Wheels Booth (#45033) 

One of the coolest projects we talked about around this 2011 SEMA Show is the Sideways to SEMA which is put on by Chelsea DeNofa. The 2011 XDC champion is driving his new BC Racing BMW. The car looks to be a gold/purple mix and carries most of his same sponsors like ACT Clutch. This car will also be in the BC Racing Booth for the show. You can check it out in the BC Racing booth at SEMA in booth #24955.

Here is our first 2011 SEMA car preview built by Enjuku Racing in Orlando, Florida. Enjuku is a long time sponsor/partner of Wrecked Magazine and a former Formula Drift team. This street monster Hyundai Genesis they built is sponsored by BC Racing Suspension, ISIS Performance Products, SPEC Clutch, Wilwood Brakes, Chase Bays, Quaife, and VIS Racing. You can check it out in the BC Racing booth at SEMA in booth #24955.

The 2010/2011 XDC champion is hitting the road in a unique way for the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada this year. The event kicks off on October 22nd at PSI Motorsports (this Saturday), hits Technica Motorsports in Atlanta, then a stop in Fort Worth, Texas along with a few other stops before hitting Las Vegas. Chelsea told us he will have some updates from the trip and we will be rolling into Las Vegas at the same time they will be to roll our Nissan 240sx and Mazda Rx-7 into the SEMA Show for display.

Our S13 project has been one hell of an undertaking but it is rapidly coming together before it’s 2011 SEMA due date. You can see our Sikky Manufacturing mounts sitting inside the empty engine bay while our LS3 from GMPP sits just behind the car waiting to be dropped in. Ricky Cervantes snapped this shot quickly as we were packing up the garage the other night and we turned it into a wallpaper after several requests. Scroll down to the bottom of Page 2 and find this wallpaper in five different sizes.

The famous SEMA unveil we leaked back in 2008 featuring the new Dodge Challenger has hit the auction block at eBay now. The car has no bids (we are not shocked) with a starting point of $99,000. The news gets worse when you dig into the post and read this, “It presently is a rolling chassis with drive train and suspension, as well as all body molds. Anticipated cost to finish project is approximately $35,000.00.”While we promoted Taka Aono selling his AE86 yesterday as a great deal I think this is the exact opposite. Sadly due to the passing of Shawn Carlson this car never touched a wheel on a Formula Drift track.

The advertisement does note that the car comes with a NASCAR Garry Stanton A8 Sprint Car engine along with a G-Force transmission. The car still has it’s roller blade wheel rear end along with most of the items it was displayed at SEMA with. You have 5 days t0 get your bids in!

Alex Pfeiffer signs with Megan Racing for Formula Drift 2011. He will be set to drive this Nissan 350z that was on display in the Megan Racing booth at the 2010 SEMA booth. We are told this car is running a VQ35 engine that is running a  twin turbo kit. Alex makes the Megan Racing team for 2011 a four person affair. Earlier this year Jon Russakoff announced he will be on the Megan Racing team as well.

Here are some snapshots of the Hyundai Equus Platinum Edition that Rhys Millen built for the 2010 SEMA Show. The car sat in the Hyundai OEM booth all weekend. The car was a two tone combination of carbon fiber and some odd dark blue. The brakes are a special Rhys Millen Edition setup covered up by some HRE wheels. The car is a $70,000 luxury sedan that has Hyundai swinging at the heavy hitters in the luxury car market. What do you think about Rhys Millen’s creation?

The 2010 SEMA show came to a close yesterday after a vigorous four days at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The last 150+ photos wrap up our coverage at the 2010 SEMA Show with a huge and special thanks to Seibon Carbon who sponsored all of our coverage for the week.
