TGO 2015 Car of the Year **WINNER**



This year's TGO COTY Winner is 1986Z28OWNER. Congratulations on taking the grand prize amongst the very best cars that the world's best Third Gen site has to offer.

About the Car of the Year Contest:
The Car of the Year Contest is done merely for the enjoyment of those who participate in it. Polls show that people enjoy voting in polls. Not winning COTY in no way diminishes the elite status of last years COTM winners. Winning COTY does give 1986Z28OWNER a little extra holiday cheer and a little something to brag about around town or at a New Years Party.

About this years winner:
Hopefully this years COTY winner will be chiming in shortly, but what his car represents to me is a Third Gen that is more than meets the eye. Frankly, I was a bit surprised to see this car take off in the poll the way it did. At a glance, with its 4" cowl hood / slicks in the back / sorta skinnies in the front, and grainy pics - I woulda had this car pegged as a prototypical Pro-Street build. I would have guessed a big-block Chevy, big-*** Holley carb, and nitrous. I would not have guessed a very clean, very slick twin-turbo small block. From what I've seen, this car cruises at around 1700 RPMs @ 50 mph and does8ghtsin the 1/4 mile. Way to represent!
