I’d never heard of the movie the Wraith, but it apparently featured this killer Dodge concept called the M4S Turbo Interceptor. Its little four-banger produces a very healthy 440 horsepower, and the car is supposed to top out around 195MPH. escaperoute has put together a cool ride page detailing the history and restoration of this baby, head over and check it out.

Even though I occasionally make fun of rotary engines—My favorite punchline: communism worked in theory too—I’ve always loved the looks of this generation RX-7. Doesn’t it give off kind of a Batmobile vibe? Anyway, Khalid has done a fantastic job with his, head over to his page and check out the before and after pics.

You know the drill: Come up with a caption for the picture below by noon PST next Thursday. If you submit the funniest one, we’ll send you some CarDomain swag. Three entries per member max. Good luck!

At SEMA, I’m always running around the floor geeking out about all the sick machines, and to be honest, sometimes I forget that people actually launch products there. And while there were hundreds of new gadgets and gizmos that dropped this year, I have to say that I was really impressed with Strattec’s BOLT lock. The first time you use it, the mechanism learns the key you insert, which means you can have a padlock that works off your ignition key. Is that cool or what? Nads got all the details on this trick piece of kit when he swung by their booth—watch this video to find out how it works!

Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. There isn’t the shopping stress of Christmas, and if you’re a single dude like I am, all you have to do is sit around and eat. It’s just perfect. I’m home in Seattle right now, enjoying the cold weather and warm company, and I hope that all our readers have an absolutely awesome Thanksgiving. Thanks so much guys, you’re the reason I love my job so much!

I saw that this week’s Caption Contest only got a 64 comments, which I’m pretty sure is due to the fact that commenting on the blog is messed up. We’re trying to get that fixed, and I apologize if it frustrated anyone. Anyway, this week’s winner is NSGrandAm, who came up with; “I don’t know why I couldn’t get the idiot lights to turn off… but now I don’t have to look at them.” Nice work man! Tune in tomorrow for the next installment of our ferociously popular Caption Contest!

One of the reasons that everyone at CarDomain and StreetFire works so hard to cover SEMA is that it’s a trade show, and not open to the public. You either have to be a member of the media or an employee of a vendor to get credentials and as you can probably tell from all the stuff we posted, the show floor is just littered with ridiculous hardware. So in the interest of getting one of our members into to see the circus, our buddies over at E3 Spark Plugs threw a contest where the grand prize was status as an honorary E3 employee. Joseph Porter was the lucky guy, and E3 flew him to Sin City, got him a badge, put him up in a hotel, gave him some walking around money, and showered him in SEMA swag. He had a blast at the show, check out this pic of him in the E3 booth! Big thanks to E3 and everyone who entered!

OK, so it’s not like this is the first time that we’ve seen a Gallardo putting down almost 1000 horsepower at the wheels. But are you really supposed to get tired of that? I don’t think so. At all. Listen as they make her scream on the dyno! Oh, and how awesome is the license plate?

For a long time, I thought that the Isle of Man was the craziest, most dangerous bike race in the world. But like I’ve been so many times before, I was totally wrong. The Macau GP is run on a circuit designed for cars, between the four-wheel spectacle, and there are no provisions for keeping the riders safe. At all. If you come in too hot here, you’re going to ditch into a concrete barrier or a steel barrier, and that’s just bad news. There are a bunch of videos posted about this race, and I’ve put the first one below. Head over to StreetFire to check out the rest.

Lot of people over on StreetFire are making fun of these dudes for all their screaming and the top speed claims. But that said, this looks like exactly like what I want to do on vacation, especially if I was in Germany. Bravo, gentlemen.

OK, so I’m totally happy with my life, my job, my house and everything else. But to be perfectly honest? Sometimes I get jealous of Nads, getting to run around and see everything that’s happening in the world of motorsport. It looks like he had a blast at the last round of  the Redline Time Attack. Watch the video, and let us know whether you like the editing!

The GT-R in this clip is the only one in the states with GT3582R turbos, and it’s capable of 1300 horsepower. And while the car is tough as hell, the driver doesn’t sound so tough after he thinks he’s been popped at 160MPH. Damn, this is hilarious!

Personally, I find most of the traditional luxury cars at SEMA to be a little boring. I just really don’t care if somebody slapped a sweet set of wheels on a 7 Series BMW and rolled it on to the red carpet. Yawn. That said, I’d like to nominate the following cars for best luxury ride: the black Porsche Panamera (not everyone finds it as ill-proportioned as I do) ,  the killer widebody Bentley in the Nutek Wheels booth, the unreal House of Kolor Monte Carlo, this uber-tough diesel powered Caddy, and David Huang’s aggressively attired Lexus IS 300. Even if you think I’m totally high with these choices, vote for your favorite!

This image had me totally stumped, so I was pumped to see how many great comments we received this week. But since there can only be one winner, I had a to make a hard decision. This week’s winner is NSGrandAm, who came up with; “You can steal my wheels, but you’ll be prying my Go-kart Driver’s Championship trophy from my cold dead hands.” Good stuff man, bravo. Tune in tomorrow for the next installment of our uber-popular Caption Contest!

While I might be using the term sport compact a little loosely here, I thought all these cars were wicked, so I was able justify shoehorning them into this category. Sue me. Anyway, I’m a sucker for an old-school VW, so I loved Paul Newman’s 351-powered Beetle, and I was really impressed with Rhys Millen Racing’s mid-engine Genesis Coupe, the Fiesta—stock, but awesome—in the Ford booth, the ferocious Fiat 500 and the Scion xB that won the Tuner Challenge.
