PERFECT BALANCE
What do you mean by "outrages combos"?

Great theme BTW.
I think he means something like the Motor Carriage against a Sauber. Maybe not to that extreme, but I think you get my point.
 
Preferably no more than two cars, although it doesn't really matterif the other cars are just i the background, but the focus of the pic should be of no more than two.
 
I think I've watched a little too much Initial D lately...

Final Entry
 
It's the Spoon Civic, like in episode 6 of the Fourth Stage... or fourth season, I don't know.
 
Hmmm, I'm really tempted to use some of the other shots from the STi & Evo set, but I'm going to look for a different matchup for this theme. Nice choice, Evo 👍
 
Yea, I think you should change the shot. I really don't like how you edited it, your shots usually look way better than that. The cars and background are way too soft while the headlights and rims stand out so much I had to duck, I thought they were going to hit me in the face.

Well I have a few from that shoot...Ill go through them and find a replacement..
As well you should! I must agree with keef, that shot is not one of your best efforts. I would take it a little easy on the blur. Like keef said, the headlights and wheels stand out way too much. But I am sure you will come up with something much better.👍
 
@ speedy_2 - They're not rivals, but they're suprisingly balanced.

@ keef - It's supposed to be an action shot, but I might just change it anyway. :indiff:

Ya, I just wanted to get something in, just in case I cant get a better one submitted.

As far as speed, handling, etc?? I didn't think the Camaro was anywhere near the car the BWM Mclaren was.
 
There's some damn fine stuff in here already! Oh and sar953, that combo is great, and the pics not bad either... :D.
Anyhow, I'm gonna be out of town until Sunday, so if its not too much trouble, could TF please pick the top 10 for me? Thanks... :)
EDIT: Nevermind... I got back earlier than expected!
