Everyone's car is awesome no doubt but I'm going NuffNuff.... That's an amazing car! I really hope this calendar becomes a reality!

 

I got a smaller picture

Not much new to declare about the car, getting my collector plates next month. Car is now 25 years old! This winter I'll have to replace the power antenna and sway bar bushings. That's about it! Glad to be nominated.

Your original picture was small. I don't resize them. PM me a larger version of that and I will change it for you

 

If you guys have flickr It would be great if you could add some of your photos into my Group. As far as I know it's the biggest collection of Thirdgen pics on flickr.

Mr.IROC-Z -

BADNBLK -

IT'S GONNA BE ONE OF THESE TWO FOR ME

 

i cant remember exactly, but wasnt the very first (jan) COTM an all out open, any 3rdgen? if that was the case, wouldnt spike be car of the year since he was everyones first pick? this would be tough to do

 

I voted for BADNBLK imo that's the Baddest one for 2012, maybe not the fastest but definitely the Baddest, wish it had a 350 to accompany that Lonely T56

 

I'm throwing my vote in for Shawn18jgr because that car is exactly what I want mine to be someday. Absolutely perfect in every fricken way!

 

I now have a T56/9"..... yah! Also I have installed a full set of Autometer gauges. Hope to get some rolling pictures soon!

Stay tuned!







I'll try and get the rolling shots with the Zr1s soon

 

either way, 406tpi took my vote again

 

Thanks brotha! Its faster than most 350 TPI and bolt on Lt1 cars up here in the thin air, but it needs LS... but that is still in planning stages

 

Ohh man, This is gonna be a PITA to decide on.

way to many of my Fav. cars.

MrIROCZ
BADNBLK
SPIKE
406TPI
NufNufZ28

My Top 5. now to go and narrow it down. Be back later to vote.

CONGRATS TO ALL YOU GUYS !

 

All are killer cars. Hopefully I can join the ranks one day.

 

MW66Nova's car was in a month based on drag cars. 406 TPI's car has the stock look but with a blown ls1 under the hood. Besides the wheels it's an ultimate sleeper. All of these cars are incredible and this was impossible to vote for! Great cars you guys!

 

Gaaaaahhhhhh!!! Life decisions!!! :/ lmao

 

some amazing cars here!

'preciate the kind words jayhawk

 

Fo real

 

LOLwut

There's not a single thing in that car that isnt top notch. 10 second street car, bro.

 

Not many people have cars like that now a days.

 

thanks guys

 

Judging by the fact that during the last several months he has posted asking how to tell the size of a tire, what the "bead" on a tire is, and what a "2000 stall" means, I'm guessing that he doesn't have much of a "pile." I'm also guessing that he wouldn't know what a 10 second street car looked like if it ran over him in broad daylight. Sounds like he would have gotten much more benefit from reading and learning than racking up 400+ posts in the last year.

Awesome car mw66. I know people throw the word "beast" around a lot, but that car deserves it.

Where's the like button? Lol

 

Every car in the runnings is gorgeous and has the owners heart and soul into it. Gonna be a tough competition, but in my mind all of these cars are winners, and represent the best of the best for third gens. Nice rides guys, and can't wait to see what next year brings us for another round of excellent cars.

Heres a couple more shots of mine I figured I'd throw in...

 

Damn that color pops! Excellent picture

 

+1 for that color..and + 1000 for the turbo 5.3! Too many awesome power plants to choose from this is very difficult!

 

1. Have always driven a manual, at least when it was one I was going to hotrod. Never needed to know about a stall.
2. Sorry about not being able to measure rims. I had never delved into it, thought it was self explanatory. I was wrong.
3. I did not realize Mw66Nova's car had been voted for in a drag car month. As far as the body goes, it does not look as tight or developed as Nuffnuff's. I meant no disrespect, I am sure it is well built and runs strong, it's just that Nuffnuff's looks incredible and well thought out. No one can dispute that, I can see a damn dent on Mw66Nova's without even zooming in.

 

I just wanted to post a few of my favorite pics of my 84 T/A:

 

...

 

man jeremyNYR trans am just looks sharp as a tack!! i think its the color, and edgyness of the 82-84 style birds have. like a metallic,edgy blade/arrow or something lol

 

This was one damn hard pick, because these are all amazing examples of the 3rd generation F-Body. I applaud you all on your hard work and winning of COTM!

 

couple of my "pile":








video of the "little motor" that i have in it while i learn the new t56 combo

 

Here is my Red Beast a 86 Trans Am! Cheers..

Plenty of other places to post the pics of your car. Thanks - B

 

i think you may have misunderstood what's going on wolfman....

 

Maybe just thought I would ad my pic's. There is alot of sweet looking 3rd Gens on here. Cheers...

 

That's because this is a thread where people are voting for the Car of the Year Winner out of the cars that won Car of the Month. They're posting pictures so people can decide which one they should vote for. It's not a show and tell thread.

 

I don't really have any new fancy pics to wow anybody with, but I washed it today before it goes into hibernation...










So proud that we have the ability to do this, and actually to have my car nominated... and win was a huge honor!!! Can't wait to see what next year will bring

 

I love those seats. Those are the Mike's Leather seats (covers), correct? I seriously thought about going with those before deciding on the corbeaus. Car looks great!

Yeah they are! They have held up well. Almost 10 years old now! I was the first one to do this color combo from him, he had always sold them the other way around I really wanna step it up inside, and copy 87IROC350 with the Recarros... sexy!

 

Literally stole the words out of my mouth. He's gonna get to China soon if he doesn't watch out.

 

Ditto. No respect...

I remember MW66nova being on here way back in the day when I was a newb haha. His car is just as deserving as anyone elses....and last time I checked, people didn't drive full on drag cars on the street all the time like he does.

 

Can't tell if its a dent on the front clip or just the way the light is hitting it, either way I don't give a Damn about this dumb argument, unless there's some Gay Pink Striping on it or Pimp Pink furry seats in it I'm not going to make a federal case out of it if the door panel creases don't happen to line up with the fenders or if because its a plain clothes drag car. either way he's in

 

Iansane, I had to double check the list to believe that you didn't win a COTM this year. Your Bird is absolutely beautiful! I was checking out one of your threads recently and saved a few pictures from it. It's a sure winner next year.

As for the detractor, some people just don't know when sharing their critical opinion is nothing but rude. I would hope that he wouldn't tell someone in person that their car didn't deserve the honor it received, but for some reason that good sense is often lost when behind a keyboard.

 

I'm not too worried about it. If he's got a bone to pick, he's welcome to grab a lane.

 

All b-e-a-utiful cars in this thread/contest. All obviously have had a lot of time spent building them up nice/clean, and keeping them clean.

mw66nova's car is far from a "run of the mill" type drag car. A lot of time & effort in that car, and it's built & kept far cleaner than most "just" drag cars. - lots of hacked-up/thrown together drag cars out there, few & far between are the ones that are built clean & kept that way.


Well then, I have a bone to pick.........hehehehehe

 

Looks like its a tight race!! I'm just glad we aren't having to vote for a 2nd and 3rd place! I'd be here a week trying to figure those out.

 

ha, thanks man! oh, and i'll take ya up on that...anything can happen in a drag race!!!

 

It is a GREAT honor. The caliber of the cars on here is much better than we(thirdgens) are perceived to be!

I was hoping to get a couple rolling pictures now that the gauges are in, along with a T56, and 9", but it gets dark so early its been hard for us to get it done...






I did get some gopro videos, but sadly they came out very bad......

 

Hoping that we can get this Jayhawk problem handled here quickly everyone.

I don't want to elaborate on the situation at all, I know almost everyone that has commented or posted in this thread understands why this is unacceptable. If not you need to re-read the forum rules you agreed to when joining the site. All posts pertaining to the in-appropriate posts will be deleted from this thread, and let this get back on track!

Keep voting everybody!!!!
