The Top Ten Imports of SEMA 2008

The 2008 SEMA Show in Las Vegas is packed full of the hottest cars from around the world, and while American muscle still leads the pack along the lines of show cars, the import scene combines cutting edge technology with modern styling.  These vehicles, while sometimes overshadowed, are among the fastest and quickest cars in the show.

10. While the new Nissan GT-R has taken the tuning world by storm, with dozens of them adorning the show floor, Koyorad was kind enough to bring a Nissan Skyline GT-R34 to remind us what made the Skyline model so popular.

9.  This race-built S14 from Impulse Engineering, equipped with a SR20DET might be built for racing, but it fits perfectly on the show floor.












8.  The Mishimoto S13, also carrying an SR20 under the hood, is stroked and boosted, with work done to virtually every aspect of the car.










7.  Chato Ibarra's FD3S is one of the more unusual imports at the show, as its built purely for drag racing, but this 1200 horsepower Mazda draws a ton of attention.









6.  Sure, it's a factory built car, and not technically "modified", but this off-road STi is one brutal machine.












5. Speaking of high-tech, BrailleBattery.com brought this Hybrid powered Altima to show off in the Nissan display.











4. There were a great many GT-Rs to check out at the SEMA Show, but few were as eye-catching as Bulletproof Automotive's 2009 GT-R.

2. How about the quickest Evo 8 in the world? AMS has become well known for their high performance Evolutions, and this one can brag of being one of the quickest cars in the show.









1.  Parked along the wall, excluded from any manufacturers booth, was this awesome 1995 Supra Turbo Hardtop.  Fully built, this Supra ripped off a quarter mile pass at 8.47 @ 177 mph, and hit a top speed of 241.8 mph, making it the worlds quickest and fastest 6-speed Supra
