Under hood, what about raced, driven, street cars with 50 k miles?
I have under my hood all done up, Block painted, every part is silver/black or white! all stailless hoses, all polish alu, all my AC lines and cond is all hand polished, every nut and bolt is chrome or painted to match the car, all my front supports and headligt brackets painted back of my headlights painted, ect ect ect!
Pics do it know justis, Been class winner at the last 4 World of wheels in Boston, last 3 super chevy shows in Epping, and many other shows.
Shot in GM High Tech Performance a couple months ago, and soon to be in Super Chevy once she's running right. Drive all the time and raced 4 times or more a month. its a nice all around car, probably the most versitile

If you were really going to do this you would need to have a tread with a poll.. post pictures of the top 20 and have people vote. Even then its going to be tough since people like different things..

Remembering back 3 years ago and can say our cars have evolved at an amazing rate.. we have moved beyond the cheezy stuff and are doing REAL show-quality apperance mods. Im proud of all the people in this forum because you care enough about it to try.. everytime I see a new innovation or one of my old mods done Im reminded of why i love this hobby..

I must agree with Bobby on this one. Todd's car deserves to be in the top 5. May not be as nice as Steve's 69, but it is SWEET! I have seen it at shows & at cruise ins, and it always draws a crowd. Not to mention that it also has ~425rwhp to add a little bite to it's bling!

Just like I'll agree with Todd about NataSS's road race SS. Boyce has gone over the edge. I'll try to get some pics for those that have not seen it. My first impression was to cry when I saw what some maniac did to a beautiful Camaro. He gutted it! But then I took a closer look. It is nose-to-tail an all-out NASTY race car! (proof - he handily took down a Ferrari Modena on the highway!) I can't wait to see him hit 200mph in next years Pony Express in Nevada.....

Honerable mention - TwoFast4Lvs Camaro. Yeah, it's an LT1, but he runs 11s, 10s on juice!

Another vote for Todd2001SS, talk about bling! He won the Seattle Roadster Show this year, and it was well deserved...

Since you may need something other than an F-body to vote for please feel free to consider my LS6/T56 '88 Monte Carlo SS which still has the original factory paint! The car has been mini-tubbed & frame notched to clear 17x10 wheels out back w/315-35x17 tires.

Dont want to sound like I am band wagoning here but Todd2001SS's car is GORDEOUS!! That thing single handedly LAYED THE SMACK DOWN on just about everything at the Seattle Roadster show. I dont follow the bling scene so I really dont know who else to mention. I have seen some KILLER looking rides in the appearence section TO many to try and pic just 5. But these are the ones that come to mind with my limited "bling knowlege"

for appearence I would say:
Todd2001SS
"sir-bling-alot" Steve1969LS1
Tony's 2002 (I WANT THAT CAR!)

Thanks to the guys that mentioned my car for the performance section. Its tough to compete with some of the brute force that plays here. I wouldnt even stand a chance at a drag strip against the big guns running around this board.

But for performance here is my list.
Big Mike
Harlan
Ronnie Duke
Pain
Fstr-thanu

I am seriously baffled as to why Mikey has been left out of the "performance category" by so many. Car is very clean on the inside for a racecar. Plus, fastest all motor LS1
