And to all the builders out there, would you rather build a top 5 contender for the Street Machine of the Year or a great 8 contender for the Riddler?
It will never happen that a Street Machine of the Year winner will ever win The Optima Shootout. They would be too heavy, They would be so nice that no one would ever push them that hard and they are built for Form over Function for the most part.

I would like to build both. To me they are no where near the same. They both present opposite challenges to win the award. Nobody ever remembers the contenders.
