Had to go for 406TPI, that stance is perfect.

Yeah I totally agree that a HUGE jump. But in my defense, I had like 26 votes the other day and maybe 1 or 2 people posted about it.

I don't think anyone is questioning the 25-26 votes you had prior to the big jump. Its the almost 50 votes that occurred overnight... I'm sure everyone in the running told their buddies too, and didn't get 50 votes overnight.

Hence fishy... We are looking into recently joined members and the members who voted, and their post counts.

I went with 406TPI. That rear setup is unreal, and tucked in very nicely. Great job...

Re: December COTM **VOTING**

I don't really care about the votes...I didn't go out and ask anyone for votes, and thanks for those that did put in a vote for me. It was clear who the winner of this one was a few days ago...Congrats 406TPI...awesome car!

Re: December COTM **VOTING**

Ok votes have been adjusted to remove the spam votes.

Keep voting for your favorite, I know there is large lead, but it still feels good to know that others keep voting for you even if its for second place

Re: December COTM **VOTING**

May I ask how Justin got 50+ votes in a day?

And I am glad to see 406TPI win, he has been nominated so many times, and he has put so much hard work into his awesome car, and he deserves it.

It was very hard to pick between him and Quadgoat, but I am kinda sorta biased so that helped.

Re: December COTM **VOTING**

Lot's of great cars this month!

406TPI, the car has a killer stance, and the rims and back spacing are absolutely perfect! I'm a sucker for a clean engine bay with some HP to back it up and yours does not disappoint. The whole car is very tastefully done, and exceptionally clean.

Quadqoat, I've always been a sucker for your car as well. Love all the appearance mods you've done to it, and the fact that it's a built small block with a T56 is awesome as well (and soon a turbo addition!). Plus, us orange bird guys have to stick together!

xpndbl3, your car is just downright business. I love the drag look, and it def has the motor to back up the looks. Always loved when guys managed to tuck a huge tire lol.

Best of luck to everyone this month!

Re: December COTM **VOTING**

Like Confuzed1 said, it was pretty clear who the winner of this one was a while ago. 406TPI deserves it, that car is gorgeous in virtually every way! I am very honored and humbled that I was even nominated for COTM and I definitely appreciate the votes and compliments from everyone on here! I'm sure I'll start a thread soon detailing my recent turbo project. The car runs again, but there is plenty of tuning and tweaking left to do to sort out all the bugs.

Congrats to 406TPI on a phenomenal car, and thank you all again for your consideration! This has been a ton of fun to watch unfold!!

-Paul


P.S. Thanks whitedevilTA, orange birds FTW!

Re: December COTM **VOTING**

Thanks very much for the compliment! The paint is GM's "Sunset Orange Metallic". I can't remember the code off the top of my head right now...I want to say maybe 56, but I can look it up for you if you'd like. it's a factory color on the later 4th gen f-bodies.


-Paul


Edit: Paint code is 71, not 56, sorry for the confusion :P
