After hitting the 9′s, ECS’ Matt Sorian had this to say “Once again we appreciate all of your support in our venture into the 9-second stock bottom end range on stock front tires & 18” DR’s! From the powerplant all the way through the drivetrain this car just works quite well for what is in it.  We are now moving on to a 417ci motor and changing the Novi 1500 to the (Vortech V-7) YSi. If the weather holds we are looking to be making some low 9-Second runs on the same DR’s in December!”

Paxton Automotive At The SEMA Show 2011…

Another successful year for Paxton Automotive and The Air Power Group, as evidenced by the fact that you couldn’t walk anywhere in the show without seeing a Vortech, Paxton, or Lysholm logo staring you right in the face! Take a look at some of the photos we got of the show, and be sure to send us any of your own!

The Air Power Group Booth – featuring some of the sickest cars at SEMA!

The Entry-Level Ford 289/302 Carbureted Supercharging System from Paxton – now available at a retailer near you!

The Paxton NOVI 2200 Supercharged Tjin Edition/Universal Technical Institute Ford 5.0L Mustang GT Convertible was a supreme head turner for the entire show. With bright custom paint, sick styling, boosted performance, and sitting on the ground, it is no wonder this was a show favorite. Can you believe they are going to give this car away next year for a contest?

This Mustang was dubbed “Bad Ass”…with 763 horsepower of NOVI boosted power on tap under the hood, we would have to agree!

Samuel Hubinette Racing’s Paxton NOVI 2500 Supercharged Viper was on the scene in the drifting area.

The Pep Boys Speed Shop Mustang GT from our booth last year was seen out in the drifting area with the hood closed. Alex, what’s the deal?

Mouse Prosen brought his Paxton NOVI Supercharged S197 back to the show again this year too.

This flat black Camaro SS had a Paxton NOVI Supercharging System on it, or so we think…the owner never bothered to raise his hood the entire show!
