I'd like to nominate NORTz89, and his amazing 89 IROC. This two years ago was a bone stock LO3 IROC, and for the past couple years it has been transformed in to street/track monster. Now features a 5.3L LS swap with LS6 cam, long tubes, 4L60e with 2500 stall, Ground control weight jacks, GC prepared koni adjustables, Founders adjustable rear suspension, Baer 13" track plus front brakes, Borla exhaust, and many other custom touches....
The car just competed in the Optima Batteries Ultimate Street Car Invitational series at Pikes Peak this weekend and finished 9th in a class of 14 of the baddest pro-touring cars on the planet!

Re: September 2015 COTM **Nomination Thread**
Back in 1986, I test drove and was looking at buying a used 1985 TA that looked just like Firm's car. I almost bought that car. Then in 1993, I saw a Polo Green Heritage Edition on a used lot in Minneapolis. It had the tan leather interior and the CD player. Fully loaded car for $14k used. I walked away and ended up buying my 1988 Sport Coupe instead for $7500 and 19k miles. Amazing how times and dollars have changed. Always liked the Polo Green cars.

Re: September 2015 COTM **Nomination Thread**
I've noticed a trend in the COTM nominations, and thought I should point something out. Once a members nomination has been seconded, there is no need to 3rd, 4th, and 5th the nomination. I'm sure it makes the owner feel good, but you're essentially wasting your nomination, and there is so many deserving cars on this board, yet only a small handful are getting nominated. I can find at least 3 killer cars in the vehicle specific boards above that have not been nominated. Think outside the same box. Its easy to say 3rd, 4th, 5th nomination etc, but these events get even better with competition.
My two cents! Carry on... BP
