Super Chevy Magazine Best of the Best

Hey everyone this summer I showed my cars at the Super Chevy show in Denver and won with both cars in each of their classes... It was a really proud day. Couple days later I got a text from a friend saying that the editors of the magazine chose my car to be in the Best of the Best. What??? Didn't know about the program. Anyways the editors of Super Chevy Magazine choose 5 Camaros, Tri-fives, Chevelles, Novas, etc from the show as their best of the best and then it goes to a vote.







Some of you who happened to see my other thread may have seen that my 91 Z28 won the Denver area. I looked back through the 3 years the program has been going and there has been a small handful of 3rd gens chosen, but never has one WON. If you voted then I appreciate the help!




Now They are voting in the FINAL for the best Camaro (and others Chevys) in the country... My Camaro is the only 3rd gen to ever make it this far in the program. I'd love to be able to update this thread saying that a third gen has won this honor. I would love if some of the TGO family could help me out and vote for a third gen. This is not a situation where I'm asking for votes of one third gen against another. I'm looking for a helping hand from anyone willing help vote for the 3rd gen in a field of 1st gens Camaros.

http://bestofthebest.superchevy.com/2013/

Voting ends midnight Nov 11th, and only one vote per email address. If you have multiple emails use them Thanks to my friends that already have voted, and thanks in advance to those that do vote.

Mods... If your not cool with this do what you need too

Thanks for the vote. It does mean a lot, and I totally know what your saying. If my car was not in this position there is at least two I would do the same for... Of course that is why I had to get this out to my third gen brothers. Its a tough crowd in those 12 Camaros.

Re: Super Chevy Magazine Best of the Best

I'm glad you didn't take my comment the wrong way. My love for these cars is like that for women. My third gen is like my wife, love her and wouldn't ever get rid of her.(in spite of what I said earlier) The first gen is like that really hot girl you always wanted back in high school but could never even get close to.

I think that analogy is perfect! I feel the same way. LOVE First gens, but I don't have the kind of money it takes to stand out in the crowd with one, or do it the way I would like it done. Its a bucket list car for me, but I'm with you I wouldn't sell this and I'd rather take the money from a first gen and make my 91 better

They are polished billet aluminum, and custom 1, or 2 off? Got them off a member here years ago.

I have been in talks with Joe @ Eddies Motorsport (Billet parts), and I will be sending him some measurements and additional pictures of my unit as they are working on a set for our cars as we speak. Not sure when you could realistically expect to see a set, but they are in the pipe my friend. I'm trying to find a way to get them to make a BADNBLK edition

I hear you on that. If it weren't a camaro, or super charged, or wrapped in an American flag... I wouldn't like it at all Its very busy. So I hope that means you liked mine enough to vote for it right?

Re: Super Chevy Magazine Best of the Best

Well I wasn't able to pull off the win. I'm still totally pumped to even have made it to this level in a national program like this. First 3rd gen in the finals, I'm happy and proud. I'm even more proud of our third gen community and TGO for helping recognize and bring attention to this when none of you had to vote or pay any attention to this at all. Its awesome. As much as we are strangers around here... we are also family, this is another one of those things that make me feel it.

So one to the next project... I wanna take first place in the GoodGuys All American autocross! I was only 8/100th off from the winning time beating out ZL1's, Shelbys, Cobras, SRT8's what not. So win that all while looking good

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND VOTES!!!!

Sharp car!! Where did you get the carbon fiber E-brake handle and the "billet" dash emblem? Those are awesome.

I have been in talks with Joe @ Eddies Motorsport (Billet parts), and I will be sending him some measurements and additional pictures of my unit as they are working on a set for our cars as we speak. Not sure when you could realistically expect to see a set, but they are in the pipe my friend. I'm trying to find a way to get them to make a BADNBLK edition
Thanks that would be great would really like a set

The handle was custom made (a member here Motobooks had it made), and the emblems were made from a Member (Chris) here also... Search in the for sale section. I know he has a add for full sets of interior and exterior emblem kits. Spendy, but you won't get better quality anywhere.

Me too!!! You should email them. Joe wanted me to start a group/pre-purchase on them, but honestly I know how many other buy it without seeing it type things have tried to happen on here and failed. I didn't want to do that. But email them and let them though you are interested, so they don't think this is a lost cause.

Couple days later I got a text from a friend saying that the editors of the magazine chose my car to be in the Best of the Best. What??? Didn't know about the program. Anyways the editors of Super Chevy Magazine choose 5 Camaros, Tri-fives, Chevelles, Novas, etc from the show as their best of the best and then it goes to a vote.







Some of you who happened to see my other thread may have seen that my 91 Z28 won the Denver area. I looked back through the 3 years the program has been going and there has been a small handful of 3rd gens chosen, but never has one WON. If you voted then I appreciate the help!




Now They are voting in the FINAL for the best Camaro (and others Chevys) in the country... My Camaro is the only 3rd gen to ever make it this far in the program. I'd love to be able to update this thread saying that a third gen has won this honor. I would love if some of the TGO family could help me out and vote for a third gen. This is not a situation where I'm asking for votes of one third gen against another. I'm looking for a helping hand from anyone willing help vote for the 3rd gen in a field of 1st gens Camaros.

http://bestofthebest.superchevy.com/2013/

Voting ends midnight Nov 11th, and only one vote per email address. If you have multiple emails use them Thanks to my friends that already have voted, and thanks in advance to those that do vote.

Mods... If your not cool with this do what you need too
very nice car, I have a 89 that I have owned since new,still has original paint Will have pics soon. my question, where did you get your STB from?

I wanted to win SOOO bad. Honestly the car that I would have voted for had my own not been in it won, so I don't feel to bad. Nice to open the pages of a magazine and see your car.

Ah its all good. I'm guessing one more vote might not have been enough anyway. Thank man. I love your car too!

It used to be made by Hotchkiss, but the discontinued the aluminum versions a long time ago. Might be a needle in a haystack to find one?

Right! I love it too! It was custom made by another member here, but sold it on ebay when he changed his mind on the custom look.
