Ok everyone have fun!!! Vote away! If you don't know the car, but like it you should search the screen name. You might find that you like it even more than you thought!

 

Nomimees are free to post up more pics and information on their rides!

Thanks for everyone that has voted so far!

 

I kind of expect people to self promote a bit more...like...at all.

All amazing looking cars. It's nice to see great examples of thirdgens. I wonder if we could rotate COTM cars through the main header in some way?

 

1 vote for Scott Meyer,I like the original survivor look.

 

Wow!! I feel honored!! Lol
The competition is fierce!!I'm not even going to vote for myself.lol
I don't have a lot of good pics of my car :-(

Wow all of the cars this month are VERY nice!!

But Im gonna have to stick with the V6's!!!!

 

So nobody else is posting pics of their cars?

 

Guess not. I sent every member in the running the same PM, that I believe you got.

 

getting down to the wire!

 

It's an honor to be nominated! Thanks everyone!

My car has full interior, stock hood, working air conditioning and a stereo. It's quite streetable!

Here is the link to my build: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/fabr...le-street.html

Here's a video of me racing my car at the recent Texas Invitational against a Boost Logic 1300 package GTR:
Here are a few pictures in street and track trim:

I like the dash, racepak UDX, speedhut 200 mph GPS speedo, and stock functional voltmeter/fuel level gauge.

 

^^^^ Awesome!!!

why does it seem like this is a thread that i already voted and posted in, but my post and others are not in this thread now?

 

Because you have lost your concept of time my friend, and it is actually a new thread where people are voting on the nominations you made a few weeks ago. You will find the old posts you remember in the November COTM **NOMINATIONS** thread.

Keep the voting up!

 

Toughest month to choose from so far. Im gonna vote for Orr89Rocz based on that awesome turbo setup.

They are all great cars and all of them are deserving!

 

Thanks a bunch everyone for voting for me! It's an honor to have my recently finished (for the most part) Trans Am be in the COTM runnings! Heres a few additional shots that I wanted to throw up...

Heres my 11 PSI dyno pull video:

 

Voted //86TA\\ everday drivability and alot alot of work in that suspension setup he has probably one of the top best handling street bird 10.5 wheels all around nuf said lol capable of pulling 1g

 

Whitedevilta all the way! Sexy car for sure. i love it, hope mine will reach that status someday. Good luck to all!

 

hard to decide!

 

whitedevilta!

 

Lots of gorgeous cars, but it goes without saying--whitedevil gets it, that level of a build just doesn't happen in the thirdgen crowd, that deserves recognition.

 

 

I concur, he has one of the most unique builds here and his attention to detail is second to none. He put a lot of passion into his work and you've got to give him credit for finishing this up without compromises. Way too many people would have thrown in the towel if they took on a project like this as well, seeing the vast number of incomplete project threads on this forum. Speaking of threads, his project thread warrants a look as well!

Just my 2 cents. Yes modifications are flashy and eye candy. But if compared to a fully restored with mods and a OEM mint Camaro, well I'd put it all down on the oem Camaro, not the modded Camaro. Allow me to express Scott Moyers dedication to his Camaro. There was a thread that a vendor posted that he had just made a OER door handle cup for our Camaro's. Scott asked how close to OEM where they. That question stuck me that Scott is 100% for originality. With that said, Scott deserves his spot and vote for vehicle of the month.

 

Curious to see some under hood shots on Andrews car. Looks like a serious setup!

 

Seriously took me about half an hour to decide who to vote for.

 

I love these wheels !

 

I already know who I'm voting for in the Election on November 6, but between these fbodys I seriously cannot decide! their too gorgeous!

 

Ok I Voted for One but I believe that James C's Silver Iroc deserves more Votes.



I'm kinda biased because Scott's Iroc Looks just like Mine except for the t-tops

 

My vote goes for Scott - ha ha got to stick up for the dark red metallic IROC's!

I've got a 1988 IROC with the same dark red metallic paint job. I also have an option level 3 car but I sure don't have all the options that were available for the 1988 model year like Scotts car for the 1987 model year though.

Having said that if there was a way to have all of these cars selected as the car of the month I think they all should have equal time under the spot light. These collection of cars are a good representation of what can be done with a thirdgens (both Camaros and Firebirds) from 100% factory stock to heavily modified and all points in between.

 

I cant choose this month... JamesC's silver IROC is special, it jsut is. I love that car. Scott Moyer's IROC is equally special. And then you got the crazy insane build cars through the rest of hte thread...

I got to narrow it down between James C, Scot Moyer, Orr, and 86 TA, and the other guys' cars are amazing too but I will side with stock or corner carver cars over drag cars in a tough decision... But man... I love how these COTM threads really bring out the cream of TGO. Amazing.

 

Here's a shot from my collection...



I've got to say guys, being my brother I'm a little biased...but I'm still not the type of person to vote for a car "just" because I know the person. I got to watch this car come together first hand. I will vote for who most deserves it, and this car is beyond words. When he started this build 4+ years ago, I didn't see it getting completed to be honest. During the build he owned an 08 shelby mustang, but it still didn't stop him from giving up on his pride and joy. Nothing got in the way of this car being done. The paintjob is impeccable...no corners cut. Better than factory is an understatement. I can't count the amount of times we have gone places where people would reconsider their thoughts on third gens after seeing this car. While it was built to go fast, it wasn't built to be a "drag car." It's all around very tasteful. Suspension, interior, looks, and 563 horsepower...all while achieving 20+ mpgs! Builds like this don't happen often, and for that he gets my vote. Parking next to it in the garage is just a bonus.

 

My thing is stock cars, so I would normally pick the red IROC. But Whitedevil gets my vote because I watched him build that thing from nothing, and he did such an excellent job documenting his progress, I feel like I know him!

 

Couple more:

 

Because street car!

 

Don't happen to have a video of this do you?

 

I sure don't, I'm sorry. 1320video is selling dvds of the TI race, maybe it will be on there?

 

Ok, even without the video, what was the outcome of that race?

 

12 psi, shut it down half track and pulled the Chutes. That car is fast!

 

WOW!!

Your car is definitely an inspiration to ALL thirdgen owners, especially the ones that are trying to make their cars go FAST... and your in Texas.. Dude how far are you from dallas?

Are you going to make it out to the Thirdgen Round-up in May??

 

Thanks! I live in a dallas suburb. Not sure about round up, have to play it by ear. I have two kids under 3!

 

Figured I'd throw a few "in action" vids up of the car, lol.

Heres me vs a new 2012 Boss 302 mustang with bolt ons


Heres me vs my brother's 2006 GTO with bolt ons, and burning the tires at 70 mph in 3rd gear

 

Somehow I've missed the build thread on your car - man I have been asleep! The attention to detail on your car is amazing.

Your car is also really stable when you start getting in to triple digit speeds too - not everybody who builds a custom car can say that - and come out on the otherside with no problems.

Have you tried taking your car to a test track and seeing what it will do on the top end. You are making more power than a new LS9 ZR1! Ha ha that would be great to see an old school thirdgen f-body with some new school tricks blow the doors of a new ZR1!

 

Thanks a lot man! The setup definitely needs some tweaking here and there like any brand new setup, but for the most part I've been more than pleased with the power and drive-ability. Not sure where I'd find a test track, but with the power and gearing it has, I could see it easily able to hit 180-190 mph in 5th gear. Never stayed in it very long in 5th, but going from 4th to 5th under WOT, 5th gear feels like it's pulling as hard as 4th. As far as the ZR1, it's faster than my car due to weight difference, but a few more lbs of boost should even up the playing fields

Funny to think a lowly truck 5.3 pumps out as much HP as the supercar priced ZR1!

 

Last day to vote!!! Still pretty close here!

 

Scott Moyer is the winner. ALL ORIGINAL!!!!!!

 

Umm...its not over yet. BTW, thought this was supposed to end St 11:50 THIS morning. I smell something fishy here...
