Gosh, there's so much in this video! I'll agree the EV conversions are coming. There's no doubt, whether we like it or not. The current EVs are basically the same bland car. If you've seen one Tesla Model 3, you have pretty much seen them all. Sure you can wrap it to make it something visually different, but the hotrodding and upgrades are pretty limited at this point. I just don't think the traditions from the past are going to last. The hard part is getting an EV that can fit everyone's lifestyle. I like the fact that we can save some of the best cars from the past and keep them around in some fashion, but until the kits aren't $50k for everything, I think most of us will just sit back and watch the progress. I agree with Lace on the yellow C3. Interesting and a good shape. I would have been all over that one giving a thorough check of everything. That Gran Sport C4 was so clean, and in a SEMA setting it's so boring. Agree that hopefully they start to get some representation there soon. The C5s, what can you say. Mild to wild, especially with the Optima cars. You can almost just have a recipe book anymore with any car there. C10s look similar, C5Z, C6Z, 1st gen Camaros, Mustangs, etc. What really works is pretty limited and they all almost fall on the driver to win it (as spec racing should be). It's like a wilder version of Spec Corvette racing. Did you walk around to every C5 there and give them a business card? Thanks for covering the Corvettes at SEMA. Hopefully you have a good rest of the week with just a couple days left.
@@KnightDriveTV I read this week about the plan for expansion over the next 5 years with a weekend festival after SEMA. What are your thoughts being a local? Will it gain the public interest as they plan for?
You can always build your own battery pack. It's unforgiving and reckless if done without precaution and safety, but that's one way to make an EV conversion stand out.
Love that purple c5z
Thanks again for covering all the vettes!
Thanks for the great SEMA 2022 coverage on all the Corvettes there, can't wait to see them myself soon
10:00 mark "Hopefully we see a lot of C4's soon" - Talk about something you never thought anyone would ever say ;-) haha
A lot of young builders are buying them up...I think we will see them ahead next year
Uhh...where is the motor in that red C1? The front end on the C5 at 12:39 is SICK!!
EV...all hidden
THat bumper is too cool.
Its made by a japanese company. Theres a youtube video floating around somewhere
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this video man
Thank you
Trying to catch up with you man!
great SEMACorvettes 👍👍👍👍
The Anderson Composites Carbon widebody has a fiberglass widebody kit option for around 10k. The Carbon kit is around 20k.
Talked to them today, they said its 45k for full carbon kit. I'm just the messenger
Don’t forget the c1 in the spyder booth
I missed a C1 that was covered most of Monday
Would be nice to see more C4s represented. Highly underappreciated, and you can see their influence all the way through the C7 bodystyling.
Maybe next year...lots of C4 builds happening out there I know about. Lots of younger guys buyin them up
I didnt see mine in ur video
