Recap from SEMA 2008: Greddy did not show. HKS did not show. APS did not show.

As promised, a few pics...

Cosworth's new stroker crank and cams:


Cosworth polished VQ35 intake manifold. They once again stated how the previous casting was not reliable enough so a new casting facility was enlisted and more manifolds should be nearing completion and ready for sale somewhere around the end of the year. The guys there are very nice, but this one has been out of their control and frustrating for them as well. Hopefully the end truly is in sight...?


Another shot of Paul/Ivory's G35 stroker with ITB's, outfitted with many of his IGT carbon fiber goodies:

Yeah, Hal hit it on the head. Cosworth really is a world class operation in all respects. They have tremendous technical resources, terrific engineers, and a wealth of knowledge. This has been one helleva manfacturing problem for sure. I am surer they learned a lot of lessons on this one.

I can't say with certainty because I didn't make an effort to keep track, but I didn't see nearly as much China stuff this time around.

The whole convention was a lot quieter... All of Vegas was a lot quieter!

The casino/hotels usually sell out but not this time.

Last year was the year of the G37
This was the year of the GTR and EvoX.
Next year will be the year of the 370Z

Yes you are buying next time!!! Even if we go to the Brazilian Steakhouse in Buckhead I still don't think it will cost as much as dinner cost in Vegas
