I miss COTM. I think COTM is a good idea, and we shouldn't not have it. I think it helps make TGO a respectable operation.

I spend enough time posting and reading on here, and I think I might be able to pull this off. I have PM'ed with BADNBLK and he gave me (or anyone else) his blessing to carry on the COTM program. I will at first be referring heavily to BADNBLK's work as a template. for example:

***************APRIL 2014 NOMINATIONS***************

This thread is a Nomination thread to narrow down the top 10 (or less) Third Gens on TGO that meet this month's criteria. This is not a picture thread. POST ONE GOOD PHOTO of THE ONE CAR that you wish to nominate. Others can second or third, and so on, your nomination. You cannot nominate your own car. A car must at least receive a "second" nomination to be included in the voting process.

The 10 or less most popularly nominated cars will be compiled into a *voting thread* in a couple weeks.

I think most of us already know how this works.

*****This Month's Criteria*****

Since its my first time and the first time in a while, lets keep it simple: OPEN SEASON. Any TGO Third Gen can be nominated this month.

 

this month is open season, but i have a couple of ideas for narrower criteria in the future. in this thread feel free to share your ideas for future COTM criteria. logically there will and should be overlap with things that have been done in the past.

 

k. i'll start. this guy has gotten my vote once or twice, but i dont know if he's ever won COTM. so i'm gonna nominate him again...

Orr89RocZ



love the twin turbos peaking out thru the hood. as i've said before, this car to me is a perfect example of the "no limit" performance and engineering while keeping it looking like a Third Gen that belongs on the streets, that i think will give Third Gens the respect they deserve.

 

Orr is one of the most helpful guys on here as well. Makes a big difference when the guy giving advice has a 4 digit power numbers car. I second him.

 

6SIX6s car is super nice. ls swapped, e36 headlights, perfect mix of old and new imo

 

Glad to see you got this going Dave. Thanks! Its a great program. Now lets get some more nominations going in here!

 

I'd like to nominate Mantaguy's 1986 Trans Am.

 

Holy Smokes!!thank You Luis.I really think you should be nominated for the outstanding job your doing to your TTA.

 

Second mantaguy

 

You've done a fine job with yours, and the nomination has already been seconded, so good luck!

Luis

 

Thank You t-top & Luis.

 

I will second ORR

Here is a more recent pic.



It has a 401 twin turbo that makes 1018RWHP untuned.

 

I third Orr89RocZ.

 

I 4th Orr89roc

 

I 5th orr89, an amazing car hands down!

 

I second 6six6. Car is fantastic.


Can I nominate mine for best car (still in parts)

 

I vote Orr. Incredible power numbers and I've loved his car for a long time!

 

Orr is great helps with any questions you may have within a day of you posting pm's and his car is...... yeah we all know what his car is. So I vote Orr!

 

Thanks Guys for the nomination and the chance to be COTM. Im a dark horse compared to to orr. I love his car and one day plan to put twin turbos on mine. Good luck to whoever is chosen but its made my day to be nominated for sure

 

I thought he won already a while back? Atleast it was another Camaro with the same headlights fitted in.

 

Another vote for Manta guy, that is an awesome car!!

 

sorry guys but i gota throw a v6 car in the mix
fasteddi's 12 second turbo 3.1 v6 car
should be in the 10's this year witht he new hybrid v6 engine

 

i know orr has plenty of votes but great looking car, love the older twin turbos out of hood, lots of power, and lots of help on this forum

 

you're thinking of ramair probably

 

I vote for drjewalton, his '84 Z is absolutely beautiful (and for sale, but still)

 

Nope not me man as if I did it would have been a honour

 

Thanks for all the input. Keep those nominations coming. I'll be looking to close the nominations and start voting in a week or so.

 

it would be cool to have a locked thread showing all the winners as the year goes by.
like, "COTM winners of 2014".
just an idea.

thank you for bringing this back. i really enjoyed looking at COTM winners and nominees. its usually some of the finest 3rd gens on here.

 

If you click on the Home Page that is where the COTM is

 

I like mantaguy's and drjewalton's cars. But since gorgeously preserved and maintained stock cars don't stand a chance here, I second fasteddi's turbo V6.

 

Reminded me of Ramair21 's Camaro that won in Feb 2012, I got confused. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/auto...th-winner.html

 

I'm glad this is back up. And I will put one in for ORR89rocz

 

I second fasteddi, love his turbo threads.

 

You mean, you third it.

 

Didn't see the second post must of scrolled to fast while reading. Glad you pointed that out for me

 

Great to have cotm back!! Was wondering where it went! Have to 2nd fasteddis v6 turbo v6, love the color! Good luck gentlemen

 

Worthy ride for sure.

 

I 2nd, that car is sick

 

All very nice cars !!!!!! I vote for "Mantaguy"

 

thanks for the more recent pic. like the C6 wheels. miss the two turbos peeking out of the hood.

 

I vote for fasteddi also. His car is the model for some of our v6's. Also very helpful.

 

Justin's (Orr89) IROC has never won and he deserves it. I think the car gives thirdgens the rep they deserve. Looks, power and function.

 

One more for Orr, he has so much work into his car, and its sick...

 

Thanks Guys,appreciate it.

 

get those nominations in. Nomination Thread closes TOMORROW (3/17/14.)

 

ORR, Turbos through the hood looks badass

 

thanks for the input guys. this thread is now closed. i'll get a voting thread up and running shortly. its going to be between 4 cars:

1. Orr89RocZ 1989 IROC-Z
2. 6SIX6 1989 IROC-Z
3. Mantaguy 1986 Trans Am
4. fasteddi 1991 Camaro RS
