midwest... where u at?

All us midwest guys specialize in performance. Our cars are ugly as sin, but they go fast.

u mean the COTM's so far are nice looking but slow? let's see out of 6 COTM's so far we have: 1 6a13TT, 2 4g64T's and a 4g63t 2.3L stroker... but i digress, i was actually trying to inspire the midwest to step up and build a G that the membership thought worthy for COTM, not to put the midwest down... i think the midwest is due actually as there are cars in texas, colorado and utah (to name a few) that are, or will be candidates in the very near future (if u guys nominate them).

Dude calm down, I wasnt trying to say that the other cars are slow.

I was merely stating that (mine in particular) midwest cars havent had near the bodywork on them, well I can think of one. Because at least I dont have the money to make it "look good" and my priority is to make it fast.

You probably wont see my car get nominated for COTM mainly because I dont want to make it COTM flashy. Mine at least will remain somewhat plain and very simple, but it moves.

Wait untill blue ice gets his car done. There are going to probably be alot of bugs to work out with it, but once we get it cleaned up, its going to be amazing.

what are you guys talking about???? we have a midwest guy holding it down from IL.... leicoolya.... remember???? he just doesnt come on here so often. last i heard he was getting tuned and such. anyways, i wish i could keep modding. well i am but just at a slower pace... :cry:

Reelax doesnt like me because I'm at the complete opposite spectrum of the car hobby as him.

I made a comment that midwest cars are just built to go fast, and dont have the visual mods that generally land a COTM spot. Then I kinda joked about myself, since my car is somewhat ugly. He didnt seem to apprechiate the humor in this, and thought I was saying that the coast cars are slow, which they are not. But most have had alot more done, visually speaking, than a midwest counterpart.

u got it wrong. i don't disslike you. you implied in your little joke that the midwest is more concerned w/ performance than apearance and that's why they've not yet had a COTM winner... that's not true; there are some completely qualified (both looks and performance) cars in the midwest that deserve to be nominated but to have not yet been or have simply not won yet. my point is that the cars that are COTM have appearance ON TOP of performance. even my car that is not boosted, has more performance mods (chasis bracing, strut bracing, sway bars, fully matched coilovers, wheel/tire combo, I/H/E etc.) than 99% of galants on TGC, and all w/ topshelf parts. so we are not actually at opposite sides of the tuning spectrum ideology, i'm just way ahead in progress (even if you take all the appearance parts off my car)... but to be fair, i had at least a 6 year headstart. take a look at the performance mods the previous COTM's have and you will find that they are not merely focused on looks.

the COTM cars are nominated by your peers and then voted on by them. so far it looks like TGC'ers admire performance AND looks as a total package. if other TGC members feel a car is deserving it will be recognized.

Too bad half the people who've voted so far for Jan. COTM didn't even look at my highlight image in my garage

It's a buddy system and us Midwesterners get screwed because we have no friends :D
