Another year of the premier trade event in the aftermarket automotive industry is in the books! SEMA Show 2012 was once again the platform of debut for many new products headed our way next year.

You might be wondering what new products caught our attention? A couple of our sponsors, Soundstream and PrecisionPower, both released new car audio products we’re excited to be running next show season. You can check out their websites for more info on their latest model-specific products and many more innovations.

We were proud to see our friends at Accelerated Performance‘s World Record holding Subaru BRZ featured in the Exedy booth this year. Here is a video of their beast making a record 1/4 run.

Dyno Day for CYL

stevestaffan — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 12:30:47 +0000

We had a couple of the guys from the club head to Accelerated Performance to see how much “GO” they have with their show! Unfortunately it was 107 degrees inside the building where the dyno was, so it robbed a few ponies, but it was a blast! A big thank you goes out to Accelerated Performance for us to use the dyno for the day! Please check them out for rates or information on the shop.

CYL takes the all-new Ford Focus for a spin!

Chris Aldrich — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 01:29:10 +0000

This past weekend, Ford invited Caught Ya Lookin’ to take part in the 2012 Ford Focus Target Hunt at Westfield Mall right here in Toledo, Ohio.

This event offers participants an experience surely unlike any other test drive they’ve ever taken part in. An autocross style course was setup with strategically placed electronic targets which drivers had to drive over in order to gain points. To top it off, in-car cameras, G-force tracking and lap time recording added to the fun and competitiveness of the experience.

Drivers could get behind the wheel of various models of the Ford Focus, in both sedan and 5-door form. Each one provided for a different experience and perspective while navigating through the course.

We had a blast throwing the Focus through this course and hope Ford continues to do such events in the future! CYL will be the first ones in line, even if the in-car cameras captured one or two terrified looks on our face!

For more information about the all-new Ford Focus, visit the official website or ‘Like’ the Ford Focus page on Facebook.
