I'll get a good burnout shot, soon as the snow melts.

I honestly believe that if I pulled my car out and drove it around, most people in this area wouldn't even know what it is. so far to date, I've seen 1 on the road. I do quite a bit of driving, but I never see any.
I'm up for the recognition part, but I don't want us to become pen 15y (like most mustang people) about it.

How would we become "pen 15y" when we already know our cars are cooler than the Stangs?LOL !!!

I already told you guys.We need to get a lot of pics of the cars,and,burnout shots (magzines LOVE burnout shots,especially from cars that aren't necessarily seen in that manner)from everyone,details about each car partiting,and info about the owner.THEN,we take all of this info,and send one big package to MMFF and 5.0 magazines.We make it very clear that we are all members of this forum/organization.Surely they'd get around to doing something with us.


It was the posts before combined with the article that got me going.
So, owner and car info......I guess a little blurb written by the owner with a few photos (to include the tire roasting).  Anything else?

In everyone's bio,include that they (we) are a member of this forum,and slightly hint at the fact that thse cars can do anything a Stang can do with a few mods,and that the potential of these cars are so great.Planting seeds in the magazine writer's minds and hoping they'll grow..

I think if we get enough cars from this forum,it'll show a vast difference in our cars,and what can be done with them.We have everything here from basiclally stock,H.O cars,Turbo cars,slightly modded to heavily modded.I doubt that any magazine would use every car,but in greater numbers,our chances of getting a few into the magazine(s) is pretty good.I say by the end of June.I know that's a while from now,but it gives everyone (yes,including me) a chance to get the car clean,finished and prepped.With the winter months here,it also leaves time to find some nicer places to take pics at.Green trees and green grass everywhere.A LOT of us are working on our cars.June is just an idea that I'm tossing out there.Anytime that the group as a whole can decide on is cool.

If someone makes an impressive enough FTC then it has a chance of getting into a mag anyway, but there aren't enough people with these cars modifying them nor enough money being dropped into them like so many Mustang owners.

I agree.I figure if 20 different cars all show up at once,that brings attention.

Okay then,  if we got enough people together to do this, it has to be done in a uniform manner. 

Things people may want to include ifo-wise:
-Name
-City/State
-How long you've owned the car
-What shape was it in when you got it?
-What have you done to restore/preserve it?
-Any performance mods?
-Any off the wall/interesting stories which the car is key in?
-Pics (including a good smoke show if you can do so in a safe location)

I can part with one of my 2008 Calendars for this as well.
Anybody got a 2007 with absolutely no marks on it they care to donate to the cause?
