Thanks to everyone that has voted for me so far. Since winning COTM in July, i have put approx 4000 street miles on the car, and ran the car well into the low 8 second range.
Just a few pictures of the car throughout this season.
At a no prep race
This picture was just before it went on the bumper, tried to ride the wheelie out for approx 400 feet but had to lift.
Took the car out to kelownas fastest street car shootout, a local photographer took these shots at a local cruise night a few nights before the race.
100' drag in Lethbridge alberta
The only video I got of my fastest pass this year. 8.35 @ 170MPH
Anyway, looks like all the pics of my car got electronically vaporized. I'll see what I have on my computer at home and post some later tonight. But it does look like we have a commanding front runner already!

I don't know what happened to all of the previously posted pics.? Did one of you guys hack me or something?
As many of you know, I'm the original owner and special ordered it in the Spring of '89. It was ordered with a G92 performance package, 5 speed and DX3 decal delete. The EPA held it at the Van Nuys holding lot and wouldn't release it for several weeks, because of a certification issue with the N10 dual cats. I had some poor guy at the plant go out and check on it every couple days. I wish I still remembered his name, I'd send him an Edible Arrangement or something.
I bought it to use as a daily driver, but then decided I didn't want to take it to work and risk a door ding and then winter came and there was no way I was driving it in the snow and salt. My old Omni GLH soldiered on as my daily for a few more years. I was >this< close to ordering a 1LE, but figured it was about time I stopped showing up to work sweaty and needed AC. Who knew that it would never, ever, take me to work, not even once.
Anyway, good luck to all the entrants. There isn't one car here I wouldn't want to own!
Here I am the day I picked it up. Man, was I pissed when I saw that they drilled my grill insert for a plate bracket, when I expressly asked them not to. A new one was ordered from the parts dept., minutes before this photo.
I have to say I've never heard that line before but it's a good one & accurate in this case.
Since the voting is more or less determined at this point, maybe we should open up this thread and talk about the beautiful cars here. Every car here is simply awesome and I've got something good to say about each one.
I do find myself attracted to cars like Dyno Daves '88 T/A, for example. Usually I go for cars with a stick or more performance oriented options, but Dave's Trans Am is so cool to me, looks so cool and has a cool story. Gotta love it.
And Erik's Z03/1LE, well, do I even need to say anything?
And what a nice job NORTz89 did on his '89 IROC-Z.
I could go on, but I gotta fly now.
We've got until Christmas Eve to chitchat about these cars in this thread.....
It was a great honor to win the March 2015 COTM with my TTA. She did not see much road time this season, I took the car to a couple local cruise ins and shows.
I have posted a few pictures that I took this summer. Good luck to all the candidates! Everyone has beautiful rides!
As I was when nominated for COTY, I am most flattered to see my car in the COTY competition. I know there as some debate about even having one, and thought the decision was NOT to do so. So I'm doubly surprised. Thanks again to the forum and COTM administrator who make all of this possible.
The full story and photos on my car are in the original COTM voting thread here.
I really like Formulas, Irocs, '91-'92 Z28s, Heritage Editions are rare, My own '92 Z28 is Teal, but I've never seen a Factory looking road racer paint scheme on a '91, like on Players Z28. So I voted for him.
It's too bad we weren't all close enough to get our cars and owners together.
I was talking about that with my wife the other day, that would be awesome if we were. I may try to head out to the Thirdgen expo this year. Won't be able to take the cars but would love to see the cars there and meet a bunch of you!
