thats the deal with peer judging, it doesn't matter who has the most power, biggest rims(okay, it DOES matter about the rim size, right shaun ), or paint( ), but what everyone else in the show thinks about your car, and maybe even what they think about you. maybe you should spend your time on this board making new friends and talking like a human being instead of coming on here and bitching that your "oh-so-fast" mustang didn't get enough votes.
just a suggestion

that happens, last year john91coupe (a silver 9 second mustang) came in second to that purple car, i don't think thats really fair but theres nothing you can do. Maybe next year we could separate the race cars from the show cars or heavily modified cars?

---

so your saying a car show should be won by how fast/whos the fasters car is? I think thats what the track is for. Im sorry but seperating "race cars" from "show cars" at at a car show is pointless. Its like two cars drag racing, the faster car wins, and saying that the other car should get the trophy because it looks better .


BTW cegan the yellow 347 got what it deserved, a better award than the # 1 spot. Im sure that he was number 1 in the polls, but they thought he deserved the extra recognizition besides the first place spot. Awesome car yellow94gt

Wow dana pretty strong words there bud at last years event my car took first over johns not because of one impaticular thing or another but because the people liked it at the show. It is a CAR SHOW you know.Johns car is awsome too. well anyway besides that i had fun talking to drew, mark,others and even meeting new people like ro with his real clean old school that placed congrats. also congrats to drew, the other drew with that sick yellow car, joleo with the cobra, john with his car, also my bud with the car with the plate NOTAFKE, and I didnt forget you mark, and also to everyone else that placed. I love seeing people that put pride and joy into building there cars and going out and meeting new members and just having a good time. There was only about 40 cars but hey it gave more people to place in catrgories that if there were too many cars it would be harder. If anyone has a problem with the way the show was then dont enter the show it dosent help. And I had seen a post on breaking down the classes, that would be awsome but you have to remeber that there usually arent that many cars in the categories I mean there was only like two convertible foxbodies. Next year if the turnout would be bigger than class seperation would be awsome. So if you guys want to see that happen bring out your car I mean we have a website with over 3k people and only 40 people show up lets make a better effort to get your cars out there they dont have to be full show cars just to come out to this event there were stock cars there also I mean shit some cars in the lot across the street should have been in the show like that orange/black fox body coupe that car looked sick. Anyways just wanted to say thank you to all that voted for my car for best of show I appreciate it. See ya at the next meet!..shaun

Performance? LOL
Your 408 puts down less power then that Yellow 94's 347.
My stock headed 331 would run circles around you. That silver 98 supercharged GT would kill you as well. 95% of the cars...I don't think so!

The Yellow car is awsome, but there is no comparision to a drag car to a full griggs coilover racing set-up with a T-56 and 408 producing 420 RWHP/RWTQ @ 8:1 Comp Ratio, just wait the blower goes on in a couple of months.

ps. Look at the list of mods in the for sale section, I think you will change opinion.

Did you have the red SN95 with the 1980's Aztec wheels or whatever they were?...You have a nice list of bolt ons, but those wheels killed the car in my honest opinion...You're car was very clean, but appeared too plain...Jon's 97GT also has cowl hood, and Steeda wing, but has a rare paint and added flames...Not everyone likes the color, but it shows thought and individualality and gives the car a cool custom look...Anyone can bolt on $$$ parts, but it's how you do it...

He speaks the truth. The difference is in the details. Anyone can pay the big $$$, but in shows, it's all about how well you install, fit, and finish the parts.

Found out about this show from Craig (not sure of his SN on here), he had the Silver and Black HD truck that got 1st in the truck category. Good Job Craig.

Anyway, I agree with 1sweetstang and what she said about re-working the judging. Having been to a few shows, I like seeing what's out there. I'm not one to knock anybody, BUT I did have issues on the judging. It wasn't really what I had expected.

After looking at the various vehicles, I have to say, that there were some nice rides. Some better than others, of course. I think the biggest surprise was the fact that the black ranger with 'bags in front only, got 3rd place. I'm sorry but in my opinion, I didn't think it deserved the placement. To me 'bags are a novelty. They draw attention and that's what he got. And he got the votes. But remember there were 3 other Rangers there. I think 1sweetstangs was nice, if it had some more body work (had some ouchies), and a better paint job (after the body work). It was a nice truck. The white Ranger was cool too, semi-stock, but it showed that this group is more than just show vehicles. I'm leaving one out, only because it's mine, and I don't want to toot my own horn. I'll leave the comments to others.

The only thing I feel is that it would have been nice if people had actually paid attention to the work that went into some of the trucks. It says CaliforniaFords, but it seems to me this is a Mustang oriented site. I haven't browsed around since joining so long ago, but with ALL Musatngs and what 7 trucks at the show? That's a bit of an imbalance.

OK, I have more to say, but I'm gonna stop here before people think that's all I do. Just wanted to get all that out.

But I still had fun, and look forward to travelling 2hrs each way for more stuff, LOL. Thanks for the opportunity

This is a Mustang oriented site If you want to see more trucks in the show then spread the word. And as far as your thoughts on the black ranger goes, your entitled to your opinion but remember it was all your peers that voted, no judges. Voting this way show's what people really think about the cars/trucks and what the majority likes.
