The Last Round of Kenny's Muscle Car Competition!

Well, well, well.... here we are at the final round. :)

For the tenth and final competition I am going to really test you to see who is the best. In past weeks people have uploaded 4 mediocre shots and 1 amazing one and done very well. Well, tonight I am changing the format for this last time. Please read it all.

The theme for this is 'The Essence of the Muscle Car'.

You are going to take three shots that cumulatively will show what you think the muscle car is about. All three pictures count - so if 2 suck and the third is amazing, you won't win. These three pictures shall depict different things that the word 'muscle car' can evoke. For instance, you can show one pic of a car drag racing, 1 pic of a car cruising around, etc. It's probably a good idea to check out the other competitions we did to get an idea of possible themes for each pictures. If muscle cars only mean drag racing to you than go ahead and only post drag racing pics - but I promise you will need variety in your themes to win. In fact I encourage you to post a description with your set explaining your reasoning - although it isn't required to do so. Each picture can have a different muscle car or you may elect to use the same one in all.

Only bonafide muscle cars may be included in your three pics.

All three pics must be posted in the same post. I'm not going to fish through this thread for your pics. As soon as you successfully post 3 muscle car pics in the same post you are entered for competition. I will not judge any set that violates the rules. If you only post 2 and then you realize your mistake and then post a true set, it will then be entered into competition.

There is no limit to the # of cars that can be in a given shot, but remember they all must be muscle cars.

Even though this week is much harder, don't be discouraged to enter. You never know who is going to win!

Photoshop may be used to do anything, but if you do major work please let me know in the post that you show your set in.

And to even further make this more interesting - this competition has no ending date. It ends when 20 of you post a set that is withing my rules. I will let you know periodically how many slots are left. I chose 20 because that was the usual average number for how many people participated each week. In the event that way less than 20 people enter, I may decide to close it at any time at my discretion.

Good luck!

so does that mean no pony cars?

All the eligible cars you've seen so far in past ones will count. So pony cars and Ford GT's still count. I'll even still include the race model versions since I'm a nice guy :)

Mclaren - I'm doing this for 2 reasons.

1 - I am going off to a demanding college in little over a month, so I figure a 10-week cycle is a nice place to stop at.
2 - After a while people probably will get tired of doing the same cars over and over, anyway - so I want to end it on a fresh note :)
 
Kenny, I hope this is sort of what you had in mind......


Final Entry

The first picutre depicts the street cred of Muscule cars....



This picture pays homage to the NASCAR roots of muscle cars.....



And finally, from past to present, retro is back and popular.....



As you can see I went for a theme, as they are old cars, well acept the Ford GT, but it has it's roots firmly embeded in the past..... enjoy :)
 
I am new to this so constructive criticism would be appreciated :)

FINAL ENTRIES

Number 1, my cuda in its green coat at seattle


Number 2, smoking tires is what it's all about :sly:


Number 3, the agressive styling of the viper


hope you like them :nervous:
 
To me muscle cars mean...

The LOOK - unique lines and aggressive stance


The POWER - traction control is not an option


The PEOPLE - a diverse range of passionate fans
 
FINAL ENTRY

Title: Sunday Cruisin'

Explanation: Everyone knows that the muscle car was made for Sundays. I tried to capture this aura and encompass these events in 3 single photos.

Hit the Beach



I woke up Sunday morning from a night of rowdy and raunchy partying, only to realize that I had a full day of Sunday cruisin' ahead of me. I had a long distance to cover from Cali all the way back home to Vancouver. I took one last cruise up the west coast on my northward.

Street Racin' at Dusk



I made it back to Seattle just in time from the weekly street races. My usual muscle crew was out for the ride as we took to the downtown streets. By the end of the racing, I didn't have much time left to make it back to Vancouver in time for Sunday Night Cruisin'

Takin' to the Streets of Van-City



Time was on my side this night as I made it back for a couple cruises down the strip. After a long day of cruisin' it was nice to enjoy the relaxin' curves of my hometown.
 
Final Entry

IMO a true MuscleCar can:

Hold its own on the track


Hold its own at the strip...


and look good doing it...


Im messing with PS more so there is more PS than usual...
 
Final entry:

Muscle car is a road movie.


1. Leaving home and safety (tuning, polishing, owning) behind.





2. Fighting your way through the dangerous night as the city streets are crawling with strange creatures (cruising).





3. And finally finding your way to a place where there's just you, the car, blue sky and endless road (country roads). The promise of ultimate freedom that does not really exist. Or does it?





THE END
 
wow, some tough competition..... i really like all your pics, especially your ones VR 👍

Yah, I should probably watch what I say someone will probably show up with 3 AMAZING pics now that I said that:irked:
 
To me, a muscle car is:

Comfort, beauty, and luxury


Overwhelming power


Dominance on the track


I love muscle cars :D
 
Hey, I want to enter! But I may not have time until Wed or Thurs, so I hope there is not 20 by then. Any chance of you waiting on me kenny if there are already 20?

Sure man if you need extra time you got it. That goes for anyone who wants to enter, this isn't a set in solid stone 20 absolute max. If there is so much interest that the entire GT board wants to enter, then I won't stop them :)

Awesome stuff JTSnooks, I like that first pic a lot.
 
playin the new games & lookin good doin it. :dopey:

good ol' fashion power ;)
