Spectre in the News: Mustangs, Cadillacs and the Fastest Car at SEMA

Monday, February 20th, 2012

It seems like so long ago, but the 2011 SEMA show is still making headlines.

Amir spoke with the hosts of Autoblog’s “The List” about the streamliner at SEMA, where it was crowned “The Fastest Car at SEMA”.



The Spectre cars were also featured in the SEMA Gallery of Cadillacs

We always like to see high profile builders using Spectre product, so we were stoked to see the Gateway Classic Mustang’s Coyote motor-powered ‘69 in Mustang Monthly. Nice Spectre Intake in that engine bay!

Finally, fans of our Spectre Double Dually won’t want to miss the May issue of Car Craft Magazine. Hot Caddy Centerfold!

Spectre Customer Spotlight: Spectre Filters Fight Alligators!

Visitors to our SEMA booth last fall might remember Cass Brantley’s Rubicon descending a mountain of Spectre Filters and showing off the Speed by Spectre Jeep Intake kit.

Well, we were pleased to see that the Jeep continues to be in the middle of adventures. Jeep Guru Tom Morr sent us this photo:

Tom says “- Just another Jeep adventure in Houston…”

Well, Cass must have been breathing hard, but with a Spectre intake, his Jeep was cool and collected.

What adventures do you have with your Spectre-equipped vehicles?

Since we never miss an opportunity to look at racecars, we took a quick tour through the NHRA Motorsports Museum while we were at the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona.

We found Brandy’s driving instructor, Karen Salvaggio’s Factory Five race car, displayed right in the middle of the museum. That made Miss Morrow feel quite famous!

As landspeed fans, we were excited to see the Mooneyes Streamliner on display, but the two things that really caught our attention on this trip were the yellow race tractor (just in case we ever get into making filters for tractors and tractor racing) as well as the vintage Bobby Grim Helmet on display.

We’re lucky to have a collection this cool right nearby, and if you are in the area, it’s well worth the admission.
