Thanks everyone for the support and who took the time to watch it. Now that the episode has aired I can share some more 
First off the group I was in was real cool and we got along real well so it was hard to "hate" on each others cars, plus they all were pretty damn good. Now usually contestants don't know one another but "Matt" and I go to some of the same car events and we actually went to the same try out date together. So we kind of knew each other but played it off pretty well.
I'll be honest I love his car even with the updated mods (they call it a retro rod). Getting to drive it was a bucket list item for me and no matter what the gear it pulled hard. What was also hard was steering at low speeds lol, no power anything! I just can't get enough of it and I scored him I think 10 for performance, 9 for looks and 8 for personality. How can ANYONE not score that car high?
I'll share more later. Some of the local SELOC/Lexus buds came to show support and RedPaste owner of the Tilted Kilt hosted it and showed it on multiple screens and the huge projector. We had a blast. Some of the Atlanta G owners came out too for the meet/eat/watch event.
Again thanks for the support and hope I repped enthusiasts, Lexus and modded hybrids well. And damn the Vossen wheels look sick moving

Now worries; Speed Channel will repeat the show several times. I also missed setting up my DVR, but just checked and it will air again at 11 PM PDT (and several more times) so I set my DVR for that - it's 10:30 now.
I'm going to stop following this thread until I watch the show - don't want to spoil the outcome.

The GS looked amazing on tv....but as soon as a saw Eleanor, I knew it would be the winner.
If the GS had more of a throaty sound it may have had a better chance. I think Eleanor still would win though. I saw one at the local Ferrari dealer last weekend and took some pics of it. They are amazing.
You repped us good Mike and the GS looked hot.
I noticed your shameless plug for Vossen Wheels too. lol

Congrats!
You're the winner in my book! And thanks for categorizing us lexus owners as practical human beings who respect both performance and luxury without any douchy undertones
! You had the most complete car (properly modded, performance, luxury) on the show. I figured your competition wouln't necessarily respect foreign performance as they were all american muscle car owners who needs to see, smell, and feel their engines. Perhaps performance would have been slightly tilted in your favor if you all were required to go through some cone drills

Congrats Mike.... Well nice representation.
The outcome was as it should have been. Eleanor is in a class of her own.
Matt seemed to be going pretty hard after the lady too... lol had his hands on her more than they needed to be.
I was waiting for you to ask the RAM owner for his account number at AutoZone for all the 'extras' on his truck

Only seen the show a couple of times.
Was cool to watch "knowing" one of the contestants.
The only thing I scratched my head over was the two-different-kinds-of-wheels thing. You lost me on that one.

Congrats on the show. I think you should have gotten 2nd place lol. That Shelby GT was ridiculous and an obvious winner. The show is so cheesey and I probably will never watch it again. I have a question, why would you put cv3s and cv2s on at the same time...looked awkward. Other general comments: I thought melba was hatin on you at the post drive comments, before they announced the winner lol. How tall are you, like 8 feet hahah it was mad funny when u couldn't fit in melba's car. And did you notice in the beginning of the show they put up your name as Chris while you stood by your car then the rest of the show they corrected it. And what was up with the nonstop Usain Bolt poses in front of ur car, lookin like you just won a track and field race lmao!!!!
