Great shots, Bob. All four have shown cynical old me exactly why your car is a worthy nominee. Looking forward to seeing the beast at the pod. :D

cmon guys no one is voting, and i cant understand why everyone is voting for initial g, doesnt even look like a proper track car compared to some of the others, even has road tyres on in pictures..dont take any offense but rpm m3 looks great to me along with the others, but yet not got many votes.

Road legal track car :D

Every one has different taste in track car's, it's the subtle but elegant touch that makes Initial_g's car stand out :cool:

It is a track look car.. Not a road legal track car..

M3BOB and RPM's etc are track cars, with proper spec

Where does it say it has to be fast? :? I'm pretty sure it's 'Track Car's and not 'Fast Car's.

It's not slow either, not just a 2.5 :wink:

sorry to put another spanner in the works, but although my car is a fully specced up track car, it also road legal, how would you get to the ring etc? :D as previously i think too much is being read into what constitutes a track car, my interpretation of it is, doesnt matter what is is, how nice it is, or what model it is, or how fast it is, it could be a 316 or a dtm car , IF ITS BUILT FOR THE TRACK, ITS A TRACK CAR

It doesn't say it has to be fast.. It is however Track Cars.. Initial_G's looks pretty (I genuinely like the car), but lacks substance currently, compared to the others

I bet M3_BOB's isn't even THAT fast in a straight line, but in the corners I bet it is epic

All awesome cars in their own ways, i voted tim_haynes because its so different to the norm and just looks purposeful as hell! If i had another vote it'd go to M3BOB though, probably my favorite M3 and used how munich intended, well done! :D

Im from bicester in the uk but I race here in cape town since i moved here 4 years ago, at killarney circuit, we do all the open track days and compete in modified saloons, and fine cars as its 20 years old now. But my car is purely just made for track, would be terrible on the road. :)
