The car is really outstanding. I can't believe the price tag to do this Cuda is way behind the price tag of the Motion car. I bet there is a ton of man hours and fabrication in this thing also - and it looks it.
SEMA is a show about being the best, and I have to admit, the Cuda stole the show in my eyes, even though there were some other incredible cars there. I am not a show car guy, but I do have an "eye" better than most. I could immediately spot something that wasn't perfect with 95+% of the cars, but not this one. I have heard that the car is in the 7$ figure, and I believe it.
One other car of note was the 67/8 convert Camaro, black with black top, and two-tone black and dark tan interior.
The car's I'd like to drive most? Well, Boris Said's ACS Trans Am Mustang would probably be on the top of the list, in a very tight battle with the Kumho Courage LMP2 race car. Don't have to worry about scratching the paint on either of them either!!!
SEMA is a show that you need to devote days to, from a visitor's standpoint. If you are running a booth, forget it, you'll need a lifetime to see it all.
That car had mega hours in fabrication. Its flawless in every way, the way they blended the carbon fiber work into the paint was definately craftsmenship at it's finest. I came back to that car several times and every time I saw something else I did not notice before. My hats off to Johnsons Hot Rod Shop for such a creation!!
