what's the difference?? please don't get the wrong impression, whether it's pro-street, pro-touring, street rod... etc, it's STILL a "street machine" IMHO...

Pro-touring, g-machine, resto-mod, muscle rod, etc. etc. All fall under the same umbrella, which is "Street Machine."

Congrats again to Doug Hoppe, the Ring Bros, and Tracy Weaver. And quite an accomplishment since the competition was FIERCE! There were sssssoooooo many top quality cars in the Pro Pick area it was crazy! I'm guessing there were 200+ cars in the pro pick area so picking 5 for SMOY and 20 for PRO's pick would be really hard. Bill and I agreed there were at least 50 cars that should of gotten a pro pick!

And rocketman you'll like this. Bret from airride announced at the awards that the 2008 SMOY contestants will have to compete in an autocross and drag type events and those results will be considered. So if you want to compete you better make sure it can run. With competion like Morrison's vette and Jr's camaro its going to be ALOT more interesting, FINALLY.

To ne that car is hard to beat. From the minute I saw it at SEMA I had it picked. Too much cool little CNC stuff on it.

Too many trinkets in my opinion...under the hood is way too busy. I had the troy car or the alloway car picked....Hands down the two best cars in it and from proven builders that know there stuff and know how to make a car work. The DSE car a close third as we know those guys know there stuff as well.

CONGRATS to Tracy for an interior very well done.

Well after thinking about it. You could take the street machine title and break it off to differnet groups,Pro street,pro touring,etc.

A street machine to me would be of the Vette,It's what I would consider a Saturday night cruiser.Something not so trick but,lot's of power,looks good,not a cnc billet rod looking car.That Mustang could almost be a late model street rod.
