My pick for the pimpest ride at the 2007 SEMA Show is this. It's an ambulance. A 1968 Oldsmobile Cotner Bevington Ninety-Eight Ambulance, and I found it to be a beacon of light in the SEMA sea of strange.

Built by JKR Racing in just 2 weeks, the big Olds features a midmounted 496-cubic-inch big-block Chevy engine with two big carburetors and nitrous oxide. Owned and driven by Shannon Speer, RN, otherwise known as Nurse Ratchet, the ambulance also packs an airbag suspension, a full roll cage, wheelie bars and 9-inch Ford rear end with 4.56 gears. And it's not just beautiful; it blasts through the quarter-mile in 10.9 seconds at 120 mph.

Let's see a Donk do that. -- Scott Oldham, Inside Line Editor in Chief
