Armstrong.....
I have to agree with you too.....I love Maurice's 8T1......However the baddest C-3 I've ever seen was on a video......this guy was burning up the road doing donuts all over the road.....then came screaming up to the camera and yells at the camera guy...."You're Up"... :hurray:
I have the video....If any one wants to see it.....send me your e-mail and I'll forward to you so you can post to this thread......I don't know how.

BTW....Thanks Red73...... :D

Monty gets my vote

It's attention to detail and the whole idea of dial a yeild HP with twin turbos. I keep thinking about a super charger is the only cheap way to go. But i drive my car on 3000 mile trips kept me with mild race motors

Merlin 522 IMO is a great show car but not drivable. The rest of the 500+ ci race boy's with 700+ hp have to be good time rigs. They just are not drivers.

Norval - is a good builder and has a monster. I like people that build their own cars and aren't afraid to drive them. Bence & Cappy is a prime example of hitting the track. :thumbs:

Everytime I come to the Forum it's like going to an all Corvette show with all the beautiful & exciting cars that are here. We've taken a world full of awesome cars and have them in one place for all of us to enjoy. If only there were so many nice C3's out when we go for a cruise ;)

:cheers:

Monty is number one because he can do all the work himself. Gene (mrvette)does all of his own modifcations so it ranks up higher. Cappy is next because his car looks pretty slick, GrandSportC3 is nice... just would be better if he had down the body modifications (hood, headlights, spoiler) so he could be more helpful in those types of modifications. Zwede has a nice car too. I'm not a fan of anyone with a big block... sorry...

This is too difficult of a choice to make. There are soooo many sweet rides on here! The one that makes you smile when you either look at it or drive in it is the nicest one! :thumbs:
