This is the problem with Goodguys and the way they pick things, every year we have gone the top cars are not always picked. There is no point in building a car over a few years to take to a show and have a guy in a golf cart pass you by. Cars with bad gabs, stock style suspensions and mild interiors should not be up for the SMOTY but what do we know as builders. These cars always seem to make the top 5 and the same builders seem to make the top 5 every year. I guess the saying goes it’s not what you know but who you know and until they change that no point in even bringing cars out. Every year it gets worse and soon people won’t want to attend because it’s all politics and we get enough of that in the news every day don’t we? Goodguys is more of the buddy system so if you are buddies with them they will find a place for your car to be in the top 5 and get you right up front at every show you do. How about we get back to the good o days when the guy who builds the best car wins. The Detroit Auto Rama is the same way now not even worth taking a car to the show if you went this year you know what I am talking about. Half the cars there should not have been contenders.

There has been post after post here about the bad gaps in the DSE car how did they make the top 5 again? and again? I think they should pic 10 top builders and let them pick with out talking to one another. The one with the most votes wins.

I think Goodguys does a fine job. Everybody has an opinion on what they like. Some you win and some you loose. It doesn't look good on your part to be bashing Goodguys and other builders.

IMO, Mannings car is awesome, as were alot of other cars there. I believe the person talking about the gaps on Mannings car was referring to a different car by mistake.

Congrats to all and as Rodger sais, its about the people.

no mistake was made. both of the gray 69's had gap issues. maybe they didn't when you saw it and the car has settled some and the gaps changed.

Are you talking about the slightly wider gap at the top of the door/front fender? It's more evident in one of the other posters' pics here, but you can see it a little in mine. I don't have many pics of this car, so I don't have a better angle or any of the other side.

I can care less that car is friggin awsome!!!!!!!!! Gaps? I'm sure if its wide at the top its for a reason DSE does there home work

I agree the g-force cuda is amazing,but I still think Chicayne by Rad Rides set the bar pretty high and had many firsts:

It was awesome to take a non pony car and make it a sporty beast
the twin turbo 1200 hp motor is still untouchable.
the colorscheme launched a league of copy cats with its olive, beige tones,
the engineering was unreal

Its good that enough years of SMOY have been around that we can compile a 'greatest hits' album of cars.

To me Chicayne is right at the top, I would love to have that car.

that's the car I thought of... How 'bout Sullivan's Cheeze-Wizz- Rumor has it- he won SMOY years ago- but was on his way home so they gave it to someone else.

I love Chicayne . I finally got to see it in person when I visited Rad Rides with a couple of my brothers and my Dad .

So can we see pics of your car? I saw this car in person this weekend and it is awesome.

I did not see the car so I am just going from what people say here, my point was if there are gaps that is bad, if they are not there than yes its a bad ass car.
