The only thing I don't like about all of them is they all went with air suspensions. I had a proper air suspension on one of my previous cars so I am by no means an "air hater". However with this car I think a nice set of coilovers would be better for it.
Problem is that they would loose the way these are judged. |

Air suspension is dumb and I hate fake carbon wraps.
The evasive car blows all of these out of the water and I think the fatlace car looks better as well. |

Evasive is the best FRS I have seen built so far, hands down. |

I agree... it's a bit of a risk with the judging. A buddy of mine lost the Challenge a few years back because he scored "0" on audio. I was told by the contest hosts, that the judging has been slightly modified to accommodate these issues. That the execution of theme, concept, and overall build will out weight formal category points. But who knows... I know that I'm dead in the water if we need AUDIO/AV...

DAMN!!! I can't agree any more than a lot of the folks here. These three cars are hideous. Might as well leave them stock, right? This goes to prove that $15K can't make this car any more beautiful than it already is. The three contestant make me |

SCION will be using these cars over and over. Not just SEMA. It'll get loaded/and off loaded a dozen plus times. I don't think their logistics guys want to be pulling wheels off, and adjusting ride height manually each time. It's 100% logistics for air ride.

I like your air choice though, I had Air Runners on my Y34. I am glad they are supposedly changing how the judging goes. We built a clean race style car and lost to a big fiberglassed mess. |

Yeah, you get 15k to spend but there is no limit to what you can get from sponsors. We went WAY over 15k when we did it.

I may not find all aspects of these cars to my tastes, but I appreciate that someone took the time and effort to put them together (and I appreciate Scion doing this to generate publicity for the car).
Internet anonymity has it's downsides. |
