Nice.

Probably has race tires on them on for the Optima shootout.

I really do appreciate the work it takes to build these cars. But I am totally confused why anyone would take the huge amount of time and major injections of cash to build some of these.
I do understand promoting products by vendors and manufacturers, but I do not understand the private build that is useless as a vehicle and will be outdated before next season.

Yep.. same tires we are running.. :D

I think many people wonder the same thing. But like Frank Serrafine has stated a few times, it could be as simple as many folks have it on their '100 things to do before I die' list.

Just one minor example, but seeing cars like that pink Bentley Continental just proves that old saying 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.

that 69 convertible sits better than any other 69 iv seen i think :thumbsup:

I'm shooting that car soon after SEMA... it's in the Feb F-body Garage and thier shop is just down the road.

A very bad ass Camaro for sure.

[srh3trinity]

Of all the 5th gen Camaros that were in the gallery, the Fesler/Moss Camaros look the best. The rest are too over the top. The Fesler touch is distinct and tatsteful.

[T-Type]

[protour73]

please tell me you did not just shame yourself in saying that may be a 69 camaro or Cuda. Its clearly a Honda accord.

The Ring Brothers Fairlane is just better than awesome!

Great pics! Thanks for the post.

Like anything Ring Brothers, that Fairlane is really sweet. We finally made it over to that hall today so pics of it will be up later tonight.

Not sure but it seems like there is more people here this year. Maybe it is a combination of more people and the more condensed show area because of the fewer number of vendors. Still SEMA so it is great :D .

Now I heard at P2R last night that Lateral-G had a team in the race. You guys post up if you haven't already and give us the details on why you didn't win :lol: .

John

[Rybar]

Yep x2

Sorry My bad. Will edit the post above. :_paranoid

I would also like some more info on a couple of cars if anyone has some.

I just tried to post both pics but they are too large.

It is the yellow second gen camaro with the carbon fiber rear spoiler and LS motor, and the orange second gen with white stripes. BOTH of these cars have the Optima challenge decal on the doors and are posted in the link Skip put up here with the SEMA pics.

Thanks for any leads on info.:cheers:

[sonoma01]

The yellow Camaro is Brian Finch's and the orange Camaro is Randy Johnson from D&D Performance. Brian Finch also has a shop, but the name slips my mind right now. Brian drove his Camaro from Tennessee to Vegas with Bill Howell and the gang.

I have wondered the same thing before. However, I think thats why Mark Steilow's cars have been such an inspiration too many. Very detail oriented, some trick, but mostly very functional parts/peices and alot of people can afford to build something like his builds (minus Jackass).

After the build complete you can actuall drive the cars like they where meant to be. Most of the cars at SEMA with these super builds dont see much road time, not to mention track time.

[fleetus macmullitz]

IMO as more and more of these builds are completed and then 'tracked', logically the term 'pro-touring' should grow in stature, and even the onlookers will be able separate the mens from the boys cars.

Events such as Optima, RTTH and the Motorstate Challenge should continue to grow in popularity as more and more individuals discover the fun you can have after you build a real pro-touring car.

Thanks for the info. And for the extra pics. I will do a little digging around and see if I can find build info on both.:cheers:

Very cool that Brian drove his out that far!:thumbsup:

Not a problem Eric. Maybe you can check with someone that works for Optima or ask Steve Rupp. He may who to ask or who owns those cars. Good luck!:thumbsup: :cheers:
