The annual SEMA Show is the one time of year when you can see outrageous builds, auto industry celebs, the newest parts and accessories, and more all under one very large roof. This year, Nissan tasked the hosts of your favorite Motor Trend Channel shows with finding the best SEMA had to offer. In the first episode of 2015 SEMA Week, Mike Finnegan and friends compete in four very different Datsun Z cars for ultimate bragging rights.
Finnegan starts by roaming the halls and parking lot of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Along the way, he finds an art car built for the Burning Man festival, a super-efficient fuel pump, and a Ford Econoline powered by four blown Hemi V-8s. After getting his fill at the show, Finnegan is joined by fellow hosts Jessi Lang, Fred Williams, and Mike Sabounchi at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for a game of automotive H.O.R.S.E.
The hosts are each given a modified Datsun 240Z, which they must pilot through a series of challenges. Each penalty results in a letter (or number, in this case), and the first host to spell “240” loses. The challenges include a reverse burnout contest, drift parallel parking, and an autocross against a nitro-fueled, remote-controlled car. Which host comes out on top? Check out the video below to find out and keep watching 2015 SEMA Week to see a four-way drag race between the hosts.
