We did the first one they did of this back in the day with an XA. It was a ton of fun. You get the 15k in cash and can use any sponsors you can find so don't expect the tally of stuff to stop at 15k. We went way over 15k.

They make you submit receipts to show you spent the money so no pocketing it.
Unfortunately our contest was judged by "Hot Import Nights" judges so the car that won was a widebody beast with tons of bling and heavy ass fiberglass stereo.
We went with a "time attack" style car. We gutted it, turbo'd it and used as much rare JDM parts as possible. We through volks and PMU brakes and some ARC stuff. We even made the stereo "quick release" so it could be pulled out in a flash. No credit for quality they went with bling.
