Re: March 2013 COTM **Nominations**
Where does my car have ground effects? There is nothing on the rear of the front fender that's all steel. The only "GFX" it has are the2 little pieces in front of the rear whels and you can hardly call those rgound effects.....

Re: March 2013 COTM **Nominations**
Whoa, relax there Twin Turbo. Nobody is asking anybody to retract your car, I said I would retract my previous statement if I was wrong. Do you not think I would have pointed out the Camaro above before yours if I was concerned about GFX? I seen that Camaro's GFX the moment BigKeg posted it and could care less that it had ground effects. My response was towards Lmancha96, because HE pointed out ground effects. If I was that concerned about "your" car, don't you think I would have said something much much sooner? I could care less either way.

Re: March 2013 COTM **Nominations**
Neither was I. I want to see all of them nominated, because the winner of this COTM is up against some pretty tough competition, and they should be proud when they find that they win. Good luck to all of you...

Re: March 2013 COTM **Nominations**
If I may... The 82-84 Trans Am's with the additional pieces in front of the rear wheel and the front valance piece might barely qualify as a ground effect. If memory serves I believe they actually called them "Spats" I never thought twice about them being FX and disqualifying the 82-84 trans Am with them...
With that said, I am not the judge on this or the final answer or even have anything to do with COTM, I simply want to give my opinion.

Those are spats. "Ground Effects" are side skirts and front/rear lips. A factory "body kit" if you will. Twin Turbo's car most definitely fits the no ground effects category.
I would like to nominate fiveoformula's '88 Firebird Formula. Very clean car.

It's not about who is right, it's about recognizing some great cars and all the work that went into them. Let's get back to that!

Re: March 2013 COTM **Nominations**
Spats were considered AERO for the day, available on the Trans Am. The base Firebird had no spats at all.
Quoted from the original post instructions...
"***NEW***
- This month is for our Camaro's, or Firebird's with NO Ground effects, so this is for all the Sport Coupes, the SE firebirds, Formulas etc. So not for the RS, Z28, IROC-Z's, Trans Am... If your car has GFX factory or not, this is not for you! Again modified or stock, this is for the cars that do not have GFX package at all"
