September 2015 COTM **WINNER**
Congratulations to NORTz89 for being voted by the Third Gen Community as September 2015's Thirdgen.org Car of the Month winner. With your beautiful, blue Pro-Touring-Ready, Road-Race-Ready IROC that we just know can hold its own while still looking good the way a Third Gen should - you do us proud.
My wife and have had this car for 16 years. It started life as the most gutless low end Iroc you could get. 305ci throttle body injected,700r4,2.73 rear end, drum brakes,15" iroc wheels no power options other than power door locks. Over the past few years it has transformed into a fun to drive heat handling auto-x and road course car. Lm7 swapped with the 4l60 behind it. Fully built 10bolt with 3.42 gears. Yes I said 10 bolt (for now). Full founders adjustable rear suspension. Ground Control weight jack/coil over set up all around. Custom GC strut housings with custom valved koni inserts. Koni single adjustable shocks. STR RACING 18X9 AND 18X10 wheels and lots of other parts. Body is still stock as w hell as the interior. Down to the O.E. uncracked dashpad. Hope you enjoy the pictures. More to come.

Shouldn't there be a runoff vote? I personally voted for NORTz89, but damn, if I were tied like POLOZ03, I would expect a revote just between the cars that were tied. Maybe a 7 day revote? Just a suggestion
That was an exciting COTM!

Congrats to NORTz89! And Polo Z03! I logged on too late and the voting was closed. I liked all the cars this month and especially enjoyed the stories behind them. This month we had owners that were really connected with their respective cars!
