COTM - Car of the Month?

Now that members have started getting their new toys I think it would be a good time to start a COTM section. We can do one BRZ and one FRS each month and can pick 3-5 cars to get voted on each month.

A new section where the COTM winner can make a post regarding mods and opinions of said mods would be enjoyed by all.

It's definitely something I would like to see in the future, but now is much too early for it. Even once there is a large enough population of actual Zx6 owners on the forum, and even once there are enough people modding their cars, it's still going to take a while for people to make their cars different enough to warrant voting over which is better. And even then, there needs to be a sufficient number of such cars so that it's not just the same 3 or 4 guys each month. I'd say we need another 6 months to a year before it's really feasible.

I'd like to suggest, though, that if/when something like this is set up that "shop cars" not be eligible. As in; the development cars of Perrin, RCE, Grimspeed etc. couldn't be entered regardless of how awesome they become. It should be something accessible for the average Joe to aspire to.

In 2-3 months there should be enough differentiated cars to make it a good feature...

DirtyImpreza.com does something similar. It's very popular and they are now using the pictures to make a Calender for the following year.

This is their format:
Submission thread for June.
Voting Thread for May.
Winner thread for April.

And past winners thread. (I won Feb '09 )

The mods there are really great. I'm sure they'd be happy to help you with advice if you want to do something similar here.
