Roadster Shop Owned this Years 2014 SEMA Show- Here's Why

[Trackside-Brandy]

It is hard for many to get one car into SEMA let alone six cars. During setup we noticed a dominant presence of Roadster Shop builds across the main Central Hall floor. We were intrigued with this so we started purposely searching booths for cars with the Roadster Shop banner. We were able to come up with six vehicles representing the reputable build shop (there were possibly more, we lost count after a while). We wanted to highlight Roadster Shop's success this year and show you a glimpse of what they displayed at the 2014 SEMA Show.






When walking down the ramp into the main floor in central hall, the first vehicle we came across was a beautiful 1969 Camaro featured in the ATECH Motorsports Booth. The eye catching build drew crowds of people into the ATECH Booth, but it wasn't until the hood was lifted that "The Truth" was prevailed. This '69 Camaro wasn't only a beautiful build, the car was equipped with the latest ZZ572/720R Deluxe Crate Motor from GM. If that wasn't enough, Roadster Shop added twin turbos to the already powerful motor to for a whopping 2000 hp once the build was complete.








Right around the corner from the ATECH Booth was the Baer Brakes Display that featured another Roadster Shop build. This 1964 Malibu SS convertible named MaliciouSS represented a more modern and futuristic design. While walking around the car, you could catch tiny details that were upgraded that made the car stand out from the others around the showroom floor.






The Enthusiast Network Booth displayed Roadster Shop's 1968 Dodge Charger. This Charger ran a twin Turbo Viper V10 pushing 1300 hp. The design also featured a modern look while keeping some of the iconic classic details. The Charger was nominated for the Mother's Shine Award; an award given to a vehicle that represented Best of Show at SEMA.








Towards the back of central hall sat Roadster Shop's 2014 ZL1 Camaro. The car was displayed in the Penske Racing Shocks Booth throughout the week. At first glance one might have walked past this car thinking it was just another fifth gen Camaro, but we knew that’s not the way Roadster Shop builds cars. The Camaro featured several custom fabricated and carbon fiber details. The car was also upgraded with the latest goodies to make it handle better including Brembo Brakes and Penske Shocks. Hopefully we will get to see this beauty hit the track and see just how well it handles.






(Hell Fish) A twin turbo Hemi ‘Cuda with 1000 hp and a beast on the track. The Cuda was displayed in the Autometer Booth during SEMA, but SEMA was not its only journey that week. Hellfish won one of ten optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational Golden Ticket Awards during Thursday's press conference. Phil and Jeremy from the Roadster Shop were prepared to take the challenge, heading to Las Vegas Motor Speedway Friday night to prove that their car could hang with the big boys.










The much anticipated build by Roadster Shop was unveiled in the Go Pro Booth at the beginning of SEMA. Roadster Shop's 1970 Camaro, Rampage, was not just another Camaro. This Camaro was like no other Camaro anyone has ever seen. From its extreme fender flares, massive Hoosier P335/30ZR-18s, the beautiful LS7 and carbon fiber details, it was hard not stare at this car all day. The details that were taken into consideration during this build kept onlookers in the booth for quite some time. The car made such a statement that it won the 2014 Gran Turismo Award, winning a spot as a featured vehicle in the upcoming Gran Turismo video game. There were several media outlets that covered this vehicle and you will most likely continue to see press coverage on this Camaro for the next year, but here are a couple "SEMA quality" shots brought to you by ours truly.












In our opinion, Roadster Shop owned SEMA this year. Whether it’s one display vehicle or six, they never disappoint when it comes to unveiling builds at SEMA. We can’t wait to see what they have in store for next year. For more coverage on the Roadster Shop builds at SEMA visit:
