Meet the Finalists: 2024 ENEOS / Pit+Paddock SEMA Show Car Contest
Although public voting has concluded for the 2024 ENEOS / Pit+Paddock SEMA Show Car Contest (which goes towards a percentage of the overall score), we’d still like you to see the ten finalists, each of whom submitted an incredible build, representing varying sides of the aftermarket automotive spectrum.
In no particular order:
@2jzpwer – Toyota Supra
Why We Like It: In addition to legit JDM parts like the Varis Solid and Joker aero, this JZA80 features a 1,110whp twin-turbo setup.
@le_batkid – Lotus Exige
Why We Like It: Well-executed race car styling with an Industry Garage widebody, Voltex wing, and loads of carbon fiber.
@oxtaco – Renault Dauphine
Why We Like It: After rescuing it from the desert, hard work went into the full custom chassis, mid-engine VR6 swap, and carbon widebody.
@crickfilippi – Nissan 240SX
Why We Like It: Every inch of this S13 was crafted and hand-built from scratch, including the TIG-welded tube chassis and carbon body.
@yeagerbomb142 – Lamborghini Gallardo
Why We Like It: It was cut in half and extended 4-inches to house a Toyota 2JZ engine swap… Possibly the craziest Lambo on the planet!
@exotruck – Subaru AWD
Why We Like It: Exo builds aren’t anything new, but not many can say they make 700 all-wheel-drive horsepower from a turbocharged EJ!
@tommybabz.jp – Mazda RX-8
Why We Like It: Clean RX-8 builds are rare, which is why the Pandem widebody and built Renesis rotary on this one got our attention.
@built.by.rich – Datsun 240Z
Why We Like It: Built in a small one-car garage after blowing a motor, this Z now houses a monstrous 7.0L V8 with ITBs!
@m3deoo – Acura Integra Type R
Why We Like It: UKDM-spec with a nut-and-bolt restoration and an endless catalog of JDM goodies, influenced by Toda Racing and Spoon Sports.
@diego_1jz – Datsun 280Z
Why We Like It: It’s got the right amount of carbon fiber, paired with 800whp 1JZ swap, NHRA roll cage and sexy Panasport wheels.
