What is the coolest car or build here on Lateral-G.

[millertime179]

i would also have to say dale jrs 72 camaro built by dse is one of my favorite cars. i have also seen this car in person and it is cool as s**t! I like pretty much everything dse builds but there are a ton of top notch builders and cars on this site. although the unlimited budget over the top builds are fun to watch I really like the homebuilt budget builds on here also...the small guys that do what they can with what they have. I fall into that category and i think its a pretty cool feeling to build a car with the resources you have and go out and thrash it and enjoy what you built. pretty cool when what you built at home in your garage can go out and run with guys like dse in an autocross.

Real car guys like 'em all.....

I've never seen a "well done" car I didn't like. I don't care who builds 'em. If they're done with care and attention to detail and someones heart is in it... then it's top notch. I've seen horrible "pro built" cars... and I've seen some 100% effort top notch home built cars.

Personally - I'm in favor of the ones where there is constant improvement. Cars like these are not meant to be static dust collectors... things change - new products - LT1's get replaced with LS1's etc. That floats my boat. That is how the hobby moves forward.

And for me -- favorites change -- Mule was #1 for many - then Jackass - now comes along Red Devil... etc. That's just one "thread" of cars and one type... and there are so many.

I like Rodgers Playboy analogy as well. Nobody really wants to spend a lot of time ogling plain vanilla stuff... or average stuff... I think we all love the super killer builds even if we can never have that kind of car or do that kind of work.

Forget the cars -- they just get us all together to have fun and BS.... That's the best "car" right there.

I myself am a big fan of Penny and The Mule. I feel like those two cars really embody the "pro-touring camaro" pretty well.

Malitude is one of the greats in my mind! Tastfully done, full of details and top shelf parts! And home built non the less! Great Job Jody!

My favorite right now is Tyler's super flare Camaro at Ironworks. I just want to see it finished!

There are so many very well built cars here.I guess it is unfair to try and single out one.I seem to spend hour's here looking at what people are doing.I have now learned to watch TV and use my lap top at the same time.I really enjoy sharing w/everybody here thank's.Scott

I second that motion on the Dale jr orange 2nd gen. That car got me to like 2nd gens. I liked the 2nd Gen Scott mock was building also. I got to see Stuart's 69 around Thanksgiving, Oh My. That car is crazy. I would pay 50 bucks for the build book for that car. That car is pretty intense. I also liked the Ring Brothers afterburner. I really really liked the hood on that car. There is a charger the Roadster shop has kept quiet, but I saw pictures somewhere from an open house and that thing was crazy also. I like the shoebox nova DSE is building for Gordon, the owner of Jet Hott. That car is going to be really bitchin.

Thanks for the compliments on some of our work. We have some pretty cool projects we have been working that have some great potential. Maybe If I did not keep Eric so busy in Solidworks on these frames he could work on his own project. Some of the others just need the economy to come back to get them rolling at a faster pace. As you all know if you want something nice it takes time. Thanks again for the compliments, we are just Bakersfield boys trying to do the best job we can.

LOL, I guess I am not the only one eh? I have been building BMW's for a long time and have always had the passion for muscle cars (it's how I started).
I thoroughly enjoy reading both style of threads, home vs pro.

I think Rodger hit the nail on the head, we all look to the high end builds to inspire us, and incorporate them into our own projects.
I know I do and try to bring them in to my world.

But truly it's the people on this forum that are amazing. The camaraderie and support is very special.
