CLOSED: 2.0 Advanced Competition: Week 14

[SlipZtrEm]

Further explanation of the theme, in the words of our Week 12 Winner Moglet:

I've decided to go for a classic battle this week, I want you to show off the best from
either of these manufacturers. Pick your side!

(Multi-car shots allowed as long as they're single-make: multiple bow-ties *OR* blue ovals)

CARS: Ford or Chevrolet cars only
LOCATIONS: any track
PHOTO TRAVEL: yes
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: see above

• It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
• Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!

• No full-size images posted in thread; your entry will be ignored.
  [*]One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
  [*]Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
  [*]You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
  either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
  [*]When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
  [*]Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
  [*]A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  [*]Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 20. Every fourth
  week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", and the best from each
  poll faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
  [*]Winners cannot enter in their own theme!

[dice1998]

Quick question: is the Grand Touring Mustang allowed?

 

[happycorey]

Your mustang photo is so much better than mine.

Your mustang photo is so much better than mine.

i like yours alot..the fact that the focus is solely on the mustang appeals to me

i tried to focus on the general picture itself to get a "gone in 60 seconds feel" (when Maindrian Pace was cruising around before he started taking off with cops behind him)

It works well, all you need now is a fiat 500 police car in the background. Hehe.

Seems like a lot of people are going for Ford. I guess I might have to switch sides

 

[bmxmitch]

if the Trans Cammer is allowed this week, I HAVE to go with this shot now!
No editing etc...

FINAL ENTRY



​

 

[Moglet]

The Trans Cammer is allowed. As long as the original manufacturer was either Ford or Chevy, you're fine.

 

[bmxmitch]

alright!

I was waiting for a theme to post this shot. Its my best shot so far (at least in my opinion) and I really want to see how people feel about it.
But first step is always the poll....oh well
