RE: First Major Car Show
You got robbed. "#1" gives me the heebeejeebees. That ginormous wing and the footlongs for tips are VERY ricey and an assault on the refined look of the new Stangs. And yeah, the hood/grill fascia extension makes it look like a Dodge!
Survey says.................. You got robbed! Love your Rousch and I don't really care for the Rousch. But the stripes.....and let's face it, the hood ornament (please don't take offense, none meant) make it!
Cheers

I agree with others, in my book you had that hands down. I guess the problem is, that wild stuff is what the judges today are looking for. It's definitely a different scene. I'm not saying it's bad, it's not my taste. -Joe

I'm not putting the car down, well yes I am but only in the visual look of the car. I feel it looks like the 'ricer' of Mustangs except with a lot of performance modifications. The ricer I am referring to is the look of this car with the two exhaust tips sticking out the back of the rear bumper like a sore thumb.

RE: First Major Car Show
Congrats - your car is very clean. I think the winning car will be seen in Fast and the Furious 3...[8D]
Seriously, that car is fugly and I will be very suprised if Ford teams up with them. Maybe for some components of their kit, but I highly doubt the whole kit cause it is way over the top and doesn't capture the mustang theme of any era IMO.
I'll be willing to bet the ONLY reason you lost is because your car is pretty much a roush stocker. (meaning what you get when you buy a roush car at a local dealer so it has been seen by just about everyone) Don't take that the wrong way cause I'm not bashing on your car it all - I personally like it. But the lack of any 'new and original concepts' in your design is probably what cost you.
But nice car and congrats... [sm=happy046.gif]
