Showed my car today

I didn't place. There were 2 Ford GT's that won in my class, sports cars of the 2000's. Here are some pictures:

that class sounds like a joke, much like my "mazda sport car" class at Texas Heatwave that had MP5's and proteges etc. Oh well, at least you showed, it's not about the trophy anyway

Wow, thats the first time I've heard of either classes. most of the time its seperated as Mazda class or even Import Mild/Wild. Well, glad to hear about you all showing. Win or lose, they are always a good experience. Yeah, Lurch is a tall dude.

yeah it was a real car show, it wasnt like a SEMA or HIN. Everything had to be stock. They judged for cleanliness of the car both inside and out.

Nice pics but, I just don't see any point in entering a bone stock car in a car show.

I have seen at least 3 different Ford GT's on the West side of Austin in the Hills... Basically where all the rich ****'s live..... None of them looked under 60 years old either.

1 of them was probably michael dell, the other one was probably the owner of the Oasis restaraunt, not sure about the third, but there is a guy in town who owns several insane exotics including an Enzo etc. (there's also SW who owns elite autosports, he has several bad *** rides too.)

Yeah, I saw that and a DB9 on the same stretch of highway in Pennsylvania. Within a half hour of each other. Someone up there liked me that day.

By the way, ndtechie, your car looks almost exactly like mine. The only difference is I haven't been home to put in my clear corners yet. I admire your taste.

Hmmm..... but your calipers are painted?

Anyway I think a car entry shouldn't be stock but it should be OEM or better quality and it shouldn't look funny (no CF hoods with to many vents or fugly body kits). I think the best looking 8's are in the tradition of high end GT cars.

yeah and MS exhaust, but thats it. they werent allowing like drift cars, 1000hp supras and stuff like that in the show. most traditional sports cars and classic cars. my car was one of around 4 japanese cars, the rest of the field was dominated by american cars and then there were some italian, british and german cars there as well.
