We thought that this was the most breathtaking car at the show. It's a 1950s Curtis Roadster replica hand-made by John Lawson. Interesting note: The seats are replicas from a B17 bomber.

Most Willys Jeeps prefer the mud. This one likes the drag strip. DIYAutotune helps it make 1200 horsepower from an outrageously boosted V8.

Wide-body kits make everything better. Hondata showed off their Honda Civic SCCA racer. Really, it's a Civic by name only. Underneath it's a mix and match of their favorite Honda components.

Six-hundred horsepower to the front wheels turns out not to be the worst idea ever. Doug Wind set the front-wheel-drive lap record at VIR in this Dodge SRT-4 and graced our booth with its presence.

Just four days before the opening of the PRI Show, this Flying Lizard Audi R8 was on track claiming the overall victory in NASA's 25 Hours of Thunderhill. They even left the 25 hours’ worth of fresh grime on the car.

Even without bodywork, this one was impressive: Vibrant Performance's planned weapon for Pikes Peak.

Thanks to its appearances on “Street Outlaws,” the Dung Beetle is no longer such a sleeper.

We love our BMWs, and BimmerWorld's E36-chassis car kept catching our eye.

Old Corvettes are cool. They're even cooler when caged and scripted with "Motor Sport Research."

Exedy Clutches showcased a pair of wildly colored creations, including this Subaru WRX rally car.

The PRI Show is the place to see all the latest and greatest innovations in the racing industry. Naturally, this kind of show attracts a smorgasbord of interesting show cars ranging from Smart cars peddling Sunoco decals to a 1200-horsepower, wheelie-ripping Willys Jeep.

Since not everyone was able to make the big show, we have a treat: Our 10 favorite cars from the show floor.
