Yes, these types of lists are pretty darn subjective, but we tried to pick rides that really stood out this year, and that represented the full spectrum. And keep in mind that Jen and I were spread a bit thin this year, so we probably didn't see every ride (I don't know if it would have made the list, but I can't believe I missed this crazy Road Runner in the Source Interlink booth). So here's our list of the top ten rides at SEMA for 2011, in no particular order, though I think the 2 Brothers Custom Trucks 1960 Ford F100 was my favorite (Brian Lohnes at BangShift seems to agree with me), so I'm putting it first. Check out the rest after the jump, and click the links to read the original blog about each ride. If you hate our selections or want to point out any gross omissions, be sure to let us know in the comments!

I really liked the Comanche and the F-100 too. I also dug seeing Vic Edelbrock Sr.'s Model A roadster lakes car. It seems like the LS Chevy motor is the popular swap into everything now. I was happy to see that '69 AMX at SEMA, but would have rather seen a built 390 in it rather than that LS motor. In the Chevy booth there were some E-Rod LS motor/tranny displays where you get a GM part number that includes: motor, tranny, exhaust, and computer system. The only problem is all that stuff cost about $10,000! I know a lot of the high dollor guys can afford that, but most of the rodders I know aren't going to drop $10K on a drivetrain setup. I could build two whole cars for that!

I loved the Jeep as well. I would have liked the F-100 with different wheels. I don't really understand why the ls 240 made it to this list or to sema. there are hundreds of ls conversions into the s chassis.

The Caddy is an incredible looking car. I love the big and low, and black just happens to be my favorite color!

The 350Z Needs bigger Rims or smaller wheel wells, which ever is easier. It would look realy good with that small change done to it. As it is now, the gap between the fender and the wheels is WAY too huge. Im not really feeling the Judge, at the same time I probably need to see it in person. I have no problems with everything else. I like that focus for some reason(and I Generally Do Not Like 'Foci'(Plural of Focus).

The 60 Ford is great, and I really like the look of the 60 Cadillac with the top tail lights filled in and partially de-chromed!

I like that 350Z and the LS3 drift car. The Comanche is pretty bad ass too.

Very nice! I was hoping to see that 2JZ Mazda RX-4 on here, but with that many cars, it's all good! That Comanche me like!
