Ringbrothers, Innovator and the burgandy Chevy II are my choices. It will be a tough call between Innovator and Ring Brothers. Maaaan, that front shot of Innovator is sick. The headlights and the grill.....OMG!!!

Wow! Great group of cars this year. I Never thought I'd say it, but Dragon looks surprisingly subtle in that line up. And the RS Nova

It looks a space ship (in the best way possible). No doubt the top five will be one of the best in recent years.

Good luck to all competitors,

Matt

Just curious here... Is the autocross timed for SMOTY contestants? Does their time carry any weight in competition or is it simply to show that the car is capable? If the time is a factor, the only car known to have any shakedown time is the Ring Brothers.

Some of the highlights:
Billet firewall
One piece billet grill
All corvette suspension reworked in brush nickel
Over $98,000 in brush nickel alone!
Half of the roof is from a 65 Chevy impala
All glass was made for it
Chopped top and pancaked
Indy air jacks
Full bell pan, you can't see anything underneath at all
Headlight and tail light were one off, over $10,000 on them.

The shop is Spitzer Composites http://www.gospitzer.com

They are currently building a 1970 Cuda and Challenger.

The Challenger will have a complete carbon monocoque tub like the Indy cars!

They built a great 8 Ridler roadster a couple of years ago.
